JWfangirl1992 18 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm writing a poem about music and I'm stuck on a term. I need a musical term for when the music picks up and creates a powerful emotion such as in "Anakin's Dark Deeds" (:34) or "Anakin's Betrayal". I'm thinking crescendo but I'm not entirely sure that would be the best term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 How about the moment when it gets real loud! (Sorry, I'm not versed in musical lingo!) Oh yes that's sure to impress my english teacher.Modulation does work but not exactly what I'm working for. It's when you go "Damn, now if more people could compose like this John Williams might actually have some competition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,044 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 That's a scary thought."Swell" is the only word I can think of, JWfangirl1992. There isn't just one way composers do this, and there isn't one term that can be used to describe it. Orchestration, tempo, presence of percussion, dynamic level changes...these kinds of factors help make moments like those great, but none of them fully describe what you're talking about. Besides, if you're writing poetry, I'd say it'd be better not to use one single arcane term for something like this. That belittles the concept, makes it seem technical when it's really all about emotion. Use the power of your current vocabulary to describe what musical moments like these make you feel. That'd be a lot more effective.Just my two humble cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What about catharsis? It's not musically-specific, but it could fit (for the moment of climax, not the buildup).Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 A lot of indeeds are thrown around 'round here.....Indeed!- Marc, wondering if there really is a proper musical term, other than perhaps crescendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
