Music Analysis: Oops Modern Music

The piece of music I decided to analyze is by Britney Spears and called” Ooops! I did it again”. The genre of this piece of music is considered pop culture. This music is completely different to anything we have listened to in class. Vocal music allows listeners to be able to connect with the melodies of the music and allow the lyrics to flow smoothly. The melody of this song is repetitive throughout and the melody follows with the beats. The lyrics are also repetitive and allows listeners to be able to remember it better and sing along to it. This song is similar to music we have listened too in past where it follows the same styles. Like when the song is approaching the chorus, the tempo rising and the vocals increase in volume requiring Britney to hit higher notes. She sings

Emotions are being expressed through the vocals.

Modern music allows much more variation and more styles have evolved. In romantic period, everything was more organized and occur in a certain manor like for example composers who wrote polonaise, they were writing it for a purpose so the wealthy and royalty can participate in dance. In modern music artists have more freedom in choosing how they want to be representing and what kind of music they want to perform. Nowadays, they are much more vocalists who are famous then those artists who can play instruments. Modern music is evolving all their attention to the vocals and the lyrics of the piece and the instruments and beats are the background to it. The background music helps the lyrics

flow.
What people can learn from examining music now and examining music in the past is that it can be look at as a domino effect. Starting with the medieval period, the baroque develop their style on what they have heard of before. Each time period, took ideas from
