List some ways the 'poorer' setting can be improved. en-us 2017-07-27 02:00:34 UTC 2025-10-10 00:42:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png darren_sim https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179544734 2017-07-27 02:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179544734 darren_sim https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179559067 2017-07-27 05:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179559067 class_2o_2017 https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562710 Setting A is better. :)

Setting A
- appropriate climax
- appropriate voice
- good dynamics for mood
- good mix of chords
- good mix of cadences
- good phrasing (ends at longer notes)
- good emphasis

Setting B
- inappropriate climax 
(too early)
- inappropriate voice 
(alto for high D???)
- full of leaps
- loud dynamics for soft and gentle words
- too many chords V and I 
- inappropriate emphasis
- weird phrasing (ends on short note and no phrase for rest of composition)
- too many perfect cadences

Flowing melody and appropriate use of both leaps and steps to create an interesting melody. 
Has a variety of chords
Good phrasing that is well balanced
Detailed performance directions

Setting B:
Awkward rise on the second syllable of the word "La-gan"
Only the chords I and V are used throughout the composition
Alto voice cannot reach the highest note in the composition
The word "a" in the second last bar has too much emphasis on it. It is played at forte and us also a high note. It is also on the first beat of the bar which places even more emphasis on it. 
Too many leaps make the word setting awkward
The climax is in the second bar of the word setting. ]]> 2017-07-27 06:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562717 https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562718 Setting A
Stepwise motion is nice Leaps are not too frequent, Singable 
Has word 'painting' with the word fal-ling

Setting B
Climax is too early on
Pitch is too high
Has "jumps" making it hard to reach notes
not very singable]]> 2017-07-27 06:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562718 https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562725 Setting A is better as it is within a singable range. Setting B should avoid leaps and within a singable range.]]> 2017-07-27 06:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562725 class2e https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562733 Setting A is better.

Setting A:
-has a good climax
-appropriate mood and dynamics
-has both steps and leaps

Setting B:
-weird leaps
-too many perfect cadences (use interrupted, imperfect, plagal)
-climax is too early
-notes are too high for alto]]> 2017-07-27 06:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562733 https://padlet.com/darren_sim/vofdfk9njww3/wish/179562754 Setting A is better. 

Setting A
It flows. 
Wide range of chords used
Climax is at a appropriate place
Dynamics


Setting B:
Too big a leap  from 'stream' to 'sings' --> unsingable
Climax at the wrong place (Too early)
Accents on the wrong places --> sounds bad
'blows' lasts too long (singer cannot breathe)
Improper phrasing --> last note of a phrase should be lengthened

Setting B consists of too wide range of notes and it will make it hard for the person to sing it in time and tune.
