What are the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic elements at play that come together to make the music special?

Now that you’ve made to week 5 you should have a handle on the basics of music. That being the case, this week’s listening will be more general and comprehensive to what you’ve learned so far – a sort of midterm listening, though it won’t be graded any differently than the others. Please listen to the piece in its entirety and select one moment no longer than 1 minute to write about. Include a timestamp so we know what section you’re referencing. Pick a portion of the music that you find particularly interesting and try to analyze what makes it “work.” What are the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic elements at play that come together to make the music special? Be as specific and technical as you can while avoiding expressive or superlative language as much as possible. Please write a brief (150-200) word paragraph that deals with the above question(s). You should write in continuous prose, i.e., not bullet points. You don’t need to systematically answer every question in the prompt. Rather, you should try to write clearly and intelligently about the music with those questions as jumping-off points for your thoughts.
