These two pieces of music from the Star Wars movies are so iconic. The song of Princess Leia is such a peaceful and relaxing tune. This melody gives me such a peace of mind and happiness knowing the scenes around this song. Melody is such an impactful part of these pieces because of the structure that needs to be behind the song. The melody builds the foundation of the scene and keeps people or viewers focused throughout the scene.
Darth Vader’s March on the other hand makes me very anxious, and there is a bunch of suspense wrapped around this song. The melody here is very upbeat and lively, making you feel as if something bad is about to happen. The melody gives you a key assurance that is person is the bad guy in the movie, knowing how suspenseful and dark this song is.
Hildergard’s music is something that i enjoy as well just because of the history and the smoothness of it. I love hearing this sort of music and i can appreciate both kinds of pieces in this blog.
