Hello!
Here is Part 2 of our collection on student short writing on music, Words on Music.
Miles Davis - "Portia"
This is a selection of what the students wrote to the third piece of music I played for them - Miles Davis' "Portia." Here is the music:
One person goes shopping in town. The shop was opened. It was in a quiet corner of town. He came into the shop. It is general shop. There are many miscellaneous goods. All of things are so good. I like them. He thought that this shop is so wonderful.
The couple, they loved each other for ten years. They go to high class restaurant. The restaurant can look around a night view. They having delicious foods and drinking. They talk with each other about conventional memory, and coming plan. They keep on smiling at a restaurant. They are looks so happily. There is an orchestra. The orchestra plays a romantic melody. And, to the music a man gave a bouquet to her.
In a certain house, thief comes up. The thief gets closer to the room on his tiptoes. When he goes into the room, there is a girl. She is a cute and beautiful girl, and fall asleep. The man falls in love with her at first sight. For a while, she wakes up and surprises him. And he forgets an original purpose and kidnaps her.
This is a most hateful music, because the music is fearful. The music that something seems to attack. The atmosphere that seems to begin war quite some country and some country.
Frank Zappa - "Little Umbrellas"
Here is the last piece of music - Frank Zappa's "Little Umbrellas." Here is the music:
Here are some student thoughts and feelings on this music.
Miles Davis - "Portia"
This is a selection of what the students wrote to the third piece of music I played for them - Miles Davis' "Portia." Here is the music:
Here is what they wrote about this piece.
I imagine the night. In noon, the song will not hear. This may create an adult atmosphere. I felt melancholy music. I imagined that a man walks in the dark town and drinks liquor in a bar.
This is like dangerous music. There is a man who is an adventurer. He takes a ship and goes to an uninhabited island. He crosses the Atlantic Ocean alone. He feels lonely but likes adventure. So he is exciting this. Whenever he is in trouble, he believes in god. Later he reaches the island.
One person goes shopping in town. The shop was opened. It was in a quiet corner of town. He came into the shop. It is general shop. There are many miscellaneous goods. All of things are so good. I like them. He thought that this shop is so wonderful.
There is a girl who goes on an adventure. She is going to be in a very good mood, but she heard a strange noise. She was lonely. Just then, the figure of grandfather emerged in front of a girl, and he introduced his house near here. This house were five dwarfs, they welcome to her. For example, they played the music, and cooking. But, after a short time, she missed his mother, and she was cried. It can’t be helped, they gave her a night, and she was escaped by them next day.
An explorer searches for a treasure. A treasure sleeps in the grave. He devotes his life to it. He fined a clue of treasure. He went to Egypt. Then he solves cipher of treasure. He fined treasure at last. It is beautiful nature. There are many animal and fruit. And many animals are an endangered species. Though the treasure was not treasures, he feels very much.
The couple, they loved each other for ten years. They go to high class restaurant. The restaurant can look around a night view. They having delicious foods and drinking. They talk with each other about conventional memory, and coming plan. They keep on smiling at a restaurant. They are looks so happily. There is an orchestra. The orchestra plays a romantic melody. And, to the music a man gave a bouquet to her.
In a certain house, thief comes up. The thief gets closer to the room on his tiptoes. When he goes into the room, there is a girl. She is a cute and beautiful girl, and fall asleep. The man falls in love with her at first sight. For a while, she wakes up and surprises him. And he forgets an original purpose and kidnaps her.
In this music, I can imagine a man trying to do something big! I do not know what he is trying to do, maybe a revolution, or something bigger, like a first step to rule the world! Not all this he is trying to do silently with anyone knowing it.
This is a most hateful music, because the music is fearful. The music that something seems to attack. The atmosphere that seems to begin war quite some country and some country.
The music has a mysterious atmosphere and attracts a listening person. I am learning to dance, so I want to dance it to this music unintentionally. This music can associate a story the most.
Frank Zappa - "Little Umbrellas"
Here is the last piece of music - Frank Zappa's "Little Umbrellas." Here is the music:
I imagine many a place with many adrenaline and laughs in the air. Many lights, many people, many feelings, many dramas on the stage and many hopes and dreams delivered for children and teenagers! But also for adults, it breaks the common sense that adults do not have dreams because they lived long time to give up their dreams for "real life." In this place, those type of people can learn that dreams are also real! This place is a circus.
This is strange music and a fun mood. I image cats are dancing at open space. Cats stand with two legs. Cats are talking, eating and something drink, and they look human. Today is the cat's dance party!
The mood of the music is weird and the music makes me lazy. It expresses depression, for example, when I go to the university in the morning, I don’t want to go to there because of sleepiness.
At first this goes slowly but one the way was bitter sound. I am good to listen to sound of this type. It is in a restaurant or tearoom. Especially, tearoom is a good place to listen. I think the story is that some people are a dancing at a party. This party is the anniversary party of something. Everyone burst with fun. But this party is coming to an end.
This is such a mature kind of dance. It is fun for pleasure. I think that anyone begins to dance to it. Because many people likes to fun or dance to music. Of course I will dance. Anyone can feel fun that your body adjusts to this music, and begins to move to it naturally.
This piece of music is most bright, but at the same time, it may be mysterious. This gap may create a unique atmosphere. I think this atmosphere cannot be imitated. How mysterious this makes it!
This has been a great collection of short writings from students on different kinds and pieces of music. Each piece gave its unique flavor and sense to the listeners, and each listener gave his or her own unique impression and understanding to the writing.
I hope any of you who have read these have enjoyed them!
