Music Analysis: Sheet Of Music And Music

To represent the wild, I chose a sheet of music because both depend on basic patterns to create the complexity present in both the wild and music. For instance, in music, a major scale always follows a pattern of “whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half” in terms of distance from one note to the next. Even though a variety of major scales exist and have distinct differences in sound, each major scale follows the same pattern, from the basic C major scale to the more challenging F-sharp major scale. The same applies in the wild between the varying types of organisms. Despite the fact that they may not look, act, or live in the same habitat, all follows the same life cycle. All organisms are born and will die, no matter if they are a dandelion,

squirrel, squid, or anything else. Moreover, similar to how major scales are related to minor scales, the species found in the wild interact and form relationships amongst each other. Both C major and A minor consist of the same keys, however they do not sound alike. Like C major and A minor, the roles in the relationships of the wild are essentially the same. To examine the predator and prey relationship, one of the most obvious and famous relationships, generally speaking, no species are solely predators nor prey. For example, in some situations, the bird can prey on the snake, however, in other situations the snake preys on the bird. In this metaphor, only two species share this relationship: the bird and the snake. Similar to C major and A minor, the roles that snakes and birds plays upon the context. If a piece uses C as a the tonic, its key signature is referred to as C major. Likewise, if a bird preys on a snake, the bird plays the role of the predator. Meanwhile, if the piece focuses on A as its tonic, but has no sharps (like C major), the piece’s key signature becomes A minor. The snake and bird’s relationship once again mimics this; if in a separate incident the snake preys on the bird, the snake is recognized as a predator and the bird is the prey. As stated before, nothing is inherently major or minor, predator or prey, instead, context is necessary to assign these traits to music and the living things in the wild. In conclusion, music conveys the wild because of its roots in basic relationships, which in turn cultivates its intricacy.
