Year 4 Music task 2
Year 4 Music Task 2!
Here is another song that I hope you enjoy!
Listen to ‘Albatross’ by Fleetwood Man – it can be found on YouTube or ask Alexa!!
Play the song, and move to the pulse (this is a much more chilled piece of music than the last one)
Listen and appraise.
Do you like the song? Can you explain why you do and if you don’t also explain why.
What can you hear? Can you list the instruments you think you can hear playing in the song?
• The vocal line: how many singers? Male/female
• The backing accompaniment: how many instruments? Which ones?
• Which instruments play a solo if there is one?
• Is there a hook?
• The texture: is it thick or thin or somewhere in between? Are there many layers of sound or only one or two?
• The tempo: is it fast, slow or somewhere in between?
• The dynamics: is the music loud, quiet or somewhere in between? Is it the same throughout or does it vary?
• The arrangement: which voices/instruments sing/play in which sections?
What is the style of this music? Is it classical, pop, jazz, rap? What do you think and why?
How is the song put together? Does it have a chorus, pre-chorus, intro, instrumental solo, verse?
How does it compare to the previous piece you listened too?
You may want to listen to the song a few times. Jot your answers to the above in the comments section, but most of all enjoy the music!

thank you.
.There was no singer.
• There were four guitars and a drum.
• There was a guitar solo.
• Yes, there is a hook.
• It has got thin texture. There is one layer.
• The tempo is slow.
• The music is quiet.
• There were only instruments playing all sections.
It is similar to jazz , however it is instrumental rock.
Previous song was more dynamic and had a singer. There were the same instruments used in both songs.
1. I do not like this song because it is really chilled plus you could use this for going to sleep as it is relaxing.
2. 5 singers all male.
3. The electric guitar play’s a short solo then another instrument comes in.
4. the tempo is very slow then speeds then go’s slow again.
5. the music is very quite.
6.this type of music is a classic.
Thank you for being honest – we can’t like all the same music
