Musical Exploration of African American Life
A musical/folk opera titled "Watch and Listen" dives into aspects of African American life. The piece is in the key of G major, with a happy mood and a moderate pace. It features a major tonality, sequences in the range of a 10th, and flattened notes in bars 29 to 31. The form follows A-A1-B-A-Coda structure. The B section stands out with distinct musical features compared to the A section. Syncopation and triplet crotchets contribute to the rhythmic complexity. Listeners are prompted to identify the song, composer, melody, rhythm features, and form upon revisiting the piece for a deeper understanding.
