post 4 - Googoosh


GooGoosh, Hamseda Medly

This video of Googoosh features music in duple meter starting somewhere around an allegretto tempo and before the end of the piece jumping to the high end of vivace. The melody is one mostly of sticcato flute and drums. Cadences are marked with a ritardando and extra accent to the syncopated upbeats on drums. Harmony is introduced in the flute and sometimes trumpet for extra accent. The texture is one of homophony between her voice and the repetitive rhythms and chords of the various instruments. Multiple melodies may be present at very short time frames, but throughout most of this piece a single melody is passed on between instruments.
