MUSIC246 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Tango Music, Hans Zimmer, Bass Clarinet
Document Summary
Frantic/carnivalesque (child-like and nightmarish: possibly a result in part of the partnership with tim burton. Frequent use of 3/4 time (waltz) and 2/4 (polka) Scene 1: s ance: dance rhythm used, use of violin, associated with the devil, played in a country style a bit. Solo violin represents beetlejuice: very carnival when the merry go round hat starts up, hitting the action within the scene. Scene 1: peg sees the house: music comes in when the mirror is turned to have the house in view, organ source music before this, three phases in the scenes music, creepy music at first. Low woodwind: changes when she enters the property, bells, waltz, harps and bells, funereal sound. Still low woodwinds: changes again when she sees the topiaries, threat largely disappears, choir is very pure, not as creepy. Same tango melody, but more innocent to show the familial relationship: much more caring. Hans zimmer (1957 - : born in germany.
