1. Describe the melody of "Pen pen de Sarapen". Listen to the intervals between
the pitches. Does it generally move in steps or in leaps? Draw a line graph of
its shape.
Yes, there is an interval of sounds as we sung pen pen de sarapen. It moves
into steps and the pitch changes slightly.

2. Listen to the harmony (combination of sounds) in the piece. Foes it sound


pleasing or does it irritate you. How does it make you feel?
The harmony has a pleasing sound and makes me feel nostalgic. It sounds
pleasing because it has a rhyme that gives good harmony. It makes me feel
nostalgic because the song is played with a game during my childhood days
until now. Others might find it irritating, but for me it is a good song that
brings the Filipino culture.

3. Take the note of the range of the melody. Is it narrow or wide?


The range of a melody is the space it occupied within the spectrum of
pitches the human ear can perceived. In the song pen pen de sarapen. The
melody range is narrow for it doesn't changes it's tone from the beginning.
The rhythm and tone is consistent until it reaches the end. It doesn't have a
great distance from highest to lowest pitches.
4. Does the music changes from soft to loud (dynamics) or does it remain the
same?

5. What personal experience from your childhood can you associate with this
song?
I used to play a game with this song pen pen de sarapen and to play this,
one must holds out his or her palm and sings the rhyme while the other
repeatedly touches and removes the tip of his or her forefinger to and from
the palm for each syllable. The singer leaves his or her palm open until he
or she reaches the end of the song where it is time to close his hand and
catch the other's finger. The person whose finger is caught can be deemed
"It," which designates him or her as the one to hold out the palm for the
next round." We had a good times everytime we play this and it makes me
remember my childhood days where all of my friends are happy singing
this song and to whom the song stopped, he/she is the one called as "taya".

ANALYSIS

dissonant(clash)?
Clair De Lune (dissonant, regular, fast, homophonic, voice)
Pierot Lunaire (dissonant, irregular, moderate, monophonic, voice and
instrument)
Poeme Electronique (consonance, irregular, fast, polyphonic, voice)
Concert for prepared piano and orchestra (dissonant, regular and irregular,
moderate, polyphonic, instrument)

ANALYSIS
Listening to both tracks 8&9, which type of triad or chord sounds "happy"? Which
chord sound "sad"? Are able to tell the difference between the quality of a major
and a minor chord? A major scale and a minor scale?
There’s a common assumption about music that major is HAPPY and minor is
SAD. Major and Minor are Objective. ‘Happy’ and ‘Sad’ are Subjective.
Examples of ‘Sad’ Songs in Major Keys
Plain White T’s: Hey There Delilah
REM: Everybody Hurts

APPLICATION AND ASSESSMENT


1. Compose a short motive about something. It might be about a place, a thing,
an idea, a pet etc. Instruments or electronic devices may be used, as
necessary. Have it performed in the class and be ready to give a short
explanation/background about it.
I choose this instrumental background to represent my life. Whenever I'm
sad, weary and feel alone. I used to play this type of music for it fades all
my sorrowness, it gives me the courage to stand again and fought back that
whatever the circumstances may come. I will never fall because God gave
me strength to surpass any challenges waiting for me. Anyway, this music
is somewhat a religious song.
