Two Songs

The first song I listened to was from Naxos. It was the first movement from Clavierbung II- Italian Concerto/Overture (Partita) in the French Style (Weimann) in F Major called Allegro by J.S Bach. As the name of the piece implies the piece had a fast pace about 120 beats per minute. The piece had a structure of A B C B’ C’ D B” C” D’ A. The intro of the piece was a few notes than a pause, then a few notes than a pause. Then went into the first verse then had a bridge into the chorus. Then it went into a different section D. Then back to the second verse then a bridge into a little different sounding chorus. Then went into a little different sounding D, and then ended with the intro again. The music was mainly conjuct and homophonic texture with a melody and accompaniment.
The second piece was from my own collection. The song selected was “Days Go By” by Keith Urban. It has a structure of A B C B’ C D C’ B” C Section A is the guitar solo introduction to the song. Section B and C and there derivatives are fast pace about 120 beats per minute maybe a little faster. It seemed to be a little faster than the last piece. Section D slowed down to a moderate tempo. Then C’ slowly accelerated back to a pace of 120. The song has a conjuct and homophonic texture. The song was in 4:4 time, mainly quarter notes were played within the song.
