Music Analysis #1

 

My favorite type of genre of music is Gospel and Pop. 

My favorite artist is Lauren Daigle, I love her music, the first time I listened to one of her songs was when I was going through a rough time. I connected with the lyrics and melodies instantly. 

The song that I come back to all the time is "Hold On To Me"  Hold On To Me this song was released in February 25, 2021. 


The melody in Lauren's song "Hold On To Me" is desperate but also hopeful all into one. The three different elements in this song that make it enjoyable are a soft combination of texture, rhythm, and form. 

One thing that I admire most about Lauren Daigle is she writes and sings all of her songs and they always have an inspiring story behind each song she writes.

 Music of the Inupiaq Language and Music - Northwest Alaska  The music created by the Alaska Native people in Northwest Alaska is a combination of the inupiaq language and the beat of traditional drums. Also known as eskimo dancing. The eskimo dancing is a traditional inuit style dancing form usually performed to songs in the Native language, with dances choreographed for specific songs.

The music is made by hitting the drums and singing in the native language.  The two different types of musical selection I chose to describe eskimo dance music is repetitive patterns and tempo.
