I think I did 'quiet' then 'loud' then 'accented' with the italian symbols....

but accented isn't really describing the dynamics is it?

cos like you can have an accented quiet note or an accented loud note

but isn't pedal all the same note?

Exactly what I thought. I wrote because of a lack of things to say. It certainly wasn't ground bass, since it was just a repeat. It just struck me as a pedal (for some reason). My music teacher does know his stuff. In fact, we didn't even ask him about that answer he just said 'the device was a pedal', by the way (sort of out of the blue).

Surely the singer was a counter-tenor?

What did you put crrashh instead of pedal?

I am guessing it's alto...could of been soprano.?

ok I'll give my take on the questions -
i put 92 bpm
i put imitation for the singers
i said word setting was melissma to add expression
and dynamics i said piano to mezzo forte to forte

Reply 131

singer i said soprano - it went quite high a one point and interval i said 3rd

Reply 132

OH is that what they meant by setting!? Meaning of the word...?

I said the word setting is the first word sung by the second vocalist... a load of garbage

Reply 133

Ooo i said 3rd! Hmm i don't know how high it went :s-smilie:

... it was difficult...either a low soprano or a high alto!

OP

i noticed for that who is singing question that there was 2 marks so they were probably looking for 2 things which is why i wrote soprano (female) - hopefully i'll get the female mark...twas a female right lol?

I think it was a fifth

Oops I totally forgot about mezzo soprano :P I think alto would get a mark though.

Reply 136

i think 3rd is right - i hummed it several times and everyone looked around lol
i reckon singer is alto even though i put soprano

Reply 137

I said piano to crescendo to forte :s-smilie:

?

Doesn't it go without saying that sopranos are all female? :smile:
