Over the summer, I got as a present, a couple of books for my clarinet. One of the was the movie music from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film, which brings it own CD with the other instrumental parts, so you can play along. The CD contains a Demo, which is kind of a guiding song, that is the instrumental parts, but has the clarinet playing over it and marking you the rhythm, sort of guiding you, if you are not able to play the whole thing. The songs are pretty easy, they are not complicated and have rhythms that you see since you are in 6th grade. They are simple, and if you have seen the movies, you can actually remember the songs because they are heard all throughout the movie. The easiest one is the theme song, that is at the end of the book, called Hedwig's Theme, which is the theme song, from the first movie and since then the theme song for all of the movies. The book contains many songs that are Waltz, which are ballroom songs, for dancing with a partner. In the movie we can see that they are dancing songs, because they appear in dance scenes, for example the Potter Waltz, appears in the part of the movie where there is a Christmas ball in Hogwarts. The Neville Waltz, also appears in the movie as a dancing piece of music, where Neville is found dancing alone in his room, practicing before the ball. Another song that shows that it is for dancing is Foxtrot Fleur, which is a Foxtrot, another type of ballroom dance, we see this song this also in the Christmas ball. This three songs are pretty easy, because they have a common melody. The rhythm is typical, so it gives you a kind of base ground, which allows you to play it since the first time you see it.
Another song that is for dancing is the "The Quidditch World Cup" which is a type of Irish Jig. An Irish Jig is a folk song from Ireland, that has a common tune, that is heard often in movies. For me, this one is the hardest of all of the songs, because of its rhythms. I get confused the first couple of times I play it, but then, it is easier to play, because I get used to the rhythms. All throughout the song, we can see that is very repetitive, and it only changes a couple of notes, but has the same rhythms.
I like this book, because the whole thing, the CD music and me playing sounds really good, because it is dancing music, that has always been, one of my favorite types of music, because it has a constant rhythm and they are very alike, and have something that always makes you want to dance. I also like this book, because it is Soundtrack music, it is my utter favorite type of music, because if I have seen the movie, I know where each tune goes, and its true meaning, the sadness, happiness, etc.
When I record me playing this music with the Cd, it will probably sound really nice, and is going to be considered my project for the year.
