Music Report for Churchill Meadows P.S.
Date: April 13 2010
Hi, my name is Jason and I will write about my music report for Mr. Seal in Churchill Meadows public school. First I will tell you what the report is about, then I will tell you about the music, and finally I will tell you about my favourite part which can also be called my favourite movement. For the big finally, I will tell you the definitions for the hard and tricky words that I use.

Since we learned about Beethoven, I guess that Mr. Seal wanted to see if we paid attention when he was talking about Beethoven’s music. He would play beautiful, classical music by Beethoven. There would be four movements. When the music was playing, he would like my class to write about the music.


The First Movement
When the first movement began, I thought the dynamics (meaning loud and soft) of the music was very quiet in other words piano. Then, the dynamics started to get loud. In other words forte. The music had a very large texture (meaning a very large amount of instruments are or were playing). The music tempo was quick. There were flutes, string instruments like violins and percussion instruments like drums throughout the whole song. After some time, I thought the music’s mood was saying Beethoven was getting happier. I thought the music was just very staccato because the notes sounded like they were very short (bouncy). At the third quarter of the movement, Beethoven used the orchestra to tell people Beethoven was very mad because it was very forte and it sounded as if the musicians were playing the music very hard on the musician’s instruments. I thought the song had a lot of sharps and some flats because the chords (meaning notes that you play at the same time) did not sound major (that means no sharps or/and flats).
The Second Movement
In the second movement, the music started very piano, but Beethoven seemed very happy because the music was legato. The music started to get staccato and had a bit of detached notes. There was another drum and violin throughout this movement. After about thirty seconds, the notes started to get forte and higher. Then, the music was really loud! Again, the music had lots of sharps and maybe some flats in the chords. In a heartbeat, the chords were major again.
The Third Movement
In the very beginning, the music was very peaceful and really, really soft (piano). There were flutes, string instruments (trumpets), and more, but there was less texture. The dynamics were getting forte and forte. The music was legato, then staccato. That was funny. The dynamics of the music sounded like a scale (A scale is a group of notes that go up then goes back down). The music was piano. Then it got forte and forte and forte. The only difference between the scales was one was using dynamics and the other one was using notes that went higher and then came back down again. It was again, a song with some of sharps and flats chords and single notes. There were major chords, too. After this movement, I thought this movement was made when Beethoven was not deaf because this movement was joyful and peaceful.
The Forth Movement
In the last final movement, the music was very bouncy (in other names staccato) and the tempo of the music is very, very quick. The whole movement was all based on the simple sound of Ode to Joe. The whole movement also had drums, trumpets, violin, bass, flute, bells, and choir singers that were very loud, but the choir singers came out in the ending. Beethoven started his dynamics very, very softly and he brought in more and more instruments into the movement. Franz Joseph Haydn did the same thing in his song called Farewell, but Franz Joseph Haydn just took more instruments out. Franz Joseph Haydn wrote the piece Farewell because he worked for a prince and he was the conductor of the orchestra. The musicians wanted to go home so Franz Joseph Haydn wrote the piece to tell the prince that the musicians wanted to go home so the prince let his musicians to go back to their homes. Now, back to Beethoven. Beethoven’s movement had a large amount of texture. There were some sharps in the piece. There were four solo singers and choir. When the tempo and dynamics were going quicker and slower, forte and piano, it sounded like a scale, but he was not using the pitch of the notes, he was using the tempo and dynamics. One part, sounded like my Hanon (a book I use to practice my fingers skill).

My Favourite Movement
My favourite movement was the forth one because I liked what the music was based on (Ode to Joe) and the movement was the happiest movement for me. My guess is that the forth movement was also made when Beethoven was not deaf. I hoped you liked my music report. Enjoy your day.
