Music Predictions/Discussion

Doodle53

I couldn't find a thread on music so I stopped looking and just thought I'd start a new one.
Anyone got any predictions on what could be coming up?I heard a minor melody but who knows.Also how do you feel on the listening?That's my worst section by farI hope The Beatles is the main question but I doubht it

Captain-America

Bitta Tiesto would be unreal!

chillian17

Awh boysh da Tiesto! Haven't heard much except I think Deane is going to be the major listening question. I'm gonna learn Deane and The Beatles the most anyways, they haven't been asked in a while yeah?

Doodle53

I dont know about The Beatles but Deane yea.It's been a good while.I hate him though.Youd hardly call it music.And hopefully the Irish music essay will be straight forward too

Cormac2791

Deane??

Doodle53

Yea as in 'Seachanges'.Its tipped to be the main question but with all the other wrong predictions who knows

Please god NOOO Did your teacher tell you that? My teacher doesn't do predictions. Probably a good thing though...

Doodle53

Yea she did.Now I dont know how good her predictions are so dont take my word ha.Its just what she thinks.I hope shes wrong but I dont think its come up?

deane is a DISGRACE to the name of music...serrriously, it's genuinely PAINFUL to listen to. those high c's on the piccolo??? who in their right mind would ever enjoy listening to that??? i could rant on and on but it's hardly going to change anything...hope to f**k it's never on the course again

I keep telling myself that Deane is growing on me... If I say it enough maybe I'll believe it.
Did the beatles come up as the main question last year?
I have plenty of time to learn them now so I'm going to learn them all thoroughly and hopefully come out with the vast majority of the marks for the set works (that combined with the practicle should hopefully make up for an awful awful aural skills section).

chillian17

In fairness though, from exercises we've done in class it looks like instrumental techniques come up quite often. And they're learnable (talking about Deane here).

chillian17

Oh and compositional techniques. All those arsehole techniques he's got...

I totally agree - it's really easy to follow after you get over the weirdness!

Yea it did unfortunately!They got lucky!I hate Deane but yea I agree that its easier to follow cause Mozart and Berlioz are quite similar.
All in all the whole listening paper is a joke.Scrap the set works and just stick with the Irish Music and Unheard sections if you ask me

Im gonna right what I said in the other thread ages ago. I've worked it out by looking at the papers and from what I can see it'd gonna be Movement 1 or 3 from Mozart, Seachanges or When I'm '64. But '64 seems a bit too easy for the main qs and while it wouldn't surprise me cause its never been done before I can't see Deane being asked, it likes being qs 4

As for the irish music essay my bets would be north america, collectors, o'riarda/instumental group and sean nos. Again that just me looking through papers

While Deane is an absolute atroscity to listen to, its far simpler than Berlioz or Mozart IMO.

teleboy

I really think with a bit of study that Deane is easier,

his work is a lot shorter than the others and very repetitive

anyone else agree????

Nice!!

cedomination

I like seachanges...

Jaffaroll

Not much point trying to predict. They all come up and you need to know everything on them all. Hopefully Deane comes up as Q1 because there is very little they can ask on it!

starry nights

Im PRAYING its Deane.... its the easier one, or beatles but that was last year which was nice.... but Deane is mad easy, loads of Q on techniques compositional and instrumental etc.#minor melody would be nice but dont want minor harmony, theyre bitches

Isn't music supposed to be all about your own opinion?

Yup defo is about your opinion whether you like pop or rock berlioz or the chieftains

i mean some people are stronger at doing the irish music.. i find thats my strongest cuz i play it while others in my class prefer mozart or berlioz cuz they play piano etc & are better at reading the notes etc...

as for trying to pass an old man from connemara playing the whistle off as music?

they're passing seachanges off as music arent they?:P
