Quite modern music
Not as grand and majestic as Source A
Less intense compared to typical rock music in the 1990s
Hopeful tone as can be seen from the electric guitar, keyboard and drums and lyrics to uplift the people's spirits during thr Cold War.]]> 2019-01-30 03:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/xie_zhizhong/wz2s0bohwfni/wish/325689164 https://padlet.com/xie_zhizhong/wz2s0bohwfni/wish/325689169 source a- inspire them for war, boost patriotism. The tune is very positive and grand, very clear + structured - connotes unity and they have everything together + they can win !!!!!! repetitive, simple arpeggiac melody played by trumpets throughout. Sinusoidal melodic contour. Strong percussion to punctuate pauses between repetitions of melodic motifs

source b- positive propaganda to brainwash the soviets as ) soviet was p screwed up at that time (before gorby’s reforms came in) so that they will cont to support the communism ideology. Lifting the spirits of the soviets. Reminding them of what to be grateful for. Try to reignite their pride.

Music has a slow build with few instruments. The melody evokes pride and glory, encourages nationalism in preparation for war. The title implies that the composer was directing the song at commoners, to include everyone in the narrative of war.

Source 2
Melody goes in and out of major and minor, perhaps indicating the highs and lows of war. Under gorbachev, russians were more open to western influences which clearly affected the music. Additonally, during this period, russia's economy was stahgnanting, so the joyful tone of the music could have been used to propagate the narrative that they were not losing]]> 2019-01-30 04:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/xie_zhizhong/wz2s0bohwfni/wish/325698890 https://padlet.com/xie_zhizhong/wz2s0bohwfni/wish/325699408 Fanfare for the Common Man
