5 mark: Neoclassicism (Symphony of the Psalms)

At times the music is very static.

-Minims and Crotchets

-slow tempo

-Syncopation

-triplet quavers

-Occasionally the time signature changes.

Use of repeated notes
-Vocal phrases often have narrow
-tessitura
-conjunct music
-At some climax points the intervals become much larger.

-Main tonality is C

-Alleluia is C minor.

-There appears to be elements of E flat major in the four note bass ostinato. (Eb, Bb, F, Bb). This hints at Bitonality

-not small scale

-no violins (creates harsher tone)

-no violas

-woodwind much larger
