Music Repeats Itself by Brooke Harding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek The Musical Element of Repetition en-us 2017-10-05 16:42:08 UTC 2025-10-01 15:42:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194390682 Repetition is described by Ratliff as "a gimmick" or "a neutral marker". He also makes it very clear that repetition is not "one unchanging tone, or exact copy of a tone, over and over, without evolution." Ratliff says that this would give you no reason to keep listening. He also says that repetition in media exists for many reasons such as to create humor, prove a point, exaggerate a certain idea, or to grab the listener's attention. I do agree with Ratliff's arguments regarding this musical element because I think repetition never exists for no reason, and that it always has a specific and important purpose to the piece it is presented in. One example Ratliff used to explain repetition was Family Guy's Peter Griffin and his repetitive knee pain and injuries and the noise he makes over and over again. This type of repetition creates humor and gives the tv show a particular gimmick. ]]> 2017-10-05 16:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194390682 "House of Gold" By TwentyOne Pilots brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194489593 The lyrics of this song repeat themselves multiple times, giving an exaggeration to the importance of the lyrics, and providing the song with a more playful tone. ]]> 2017-10-05 19:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194489593 Repetition in "Family Guy" brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194491367 Peter Griffin hurting his knee on the hit TV show "Family Guy" is a humorous form of repetition. ]]> 2017-10-05 19:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194491367 "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194492322 The instrumentals of this song repeat themselves multiple times which show repetition.  ]]> 2017-10-05 20:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194492322 "Ain't it Funky Now" brookeharding https://padlet.com/brookeharding/y9vm4gtxdxek/wish/194730924 "Ain't it Funky Now" was a song used in the Music Appreciation textbook as an example of repetition.
