Ella FitzgeraldThey Cant Take That Away From Me
TextureTexture: is the way melody, rhythm, and harmony are
combined in a composition to determine the overall quality of the
sound of a piece. (Benward & Saker)It is usually described as
the thickness, density, or range of a piece
Notice the beginning of the piece has a thin texture. Even in
this piano and voice reduction, you can see that the piano has the
harmony which is simple and is a nice intro to the piece.The
IntroductionA Full Texture
The full texture comes in after the introduction, when the
chorus comes in.
Can you hear the trumpets and the orchestra playing louder?The
ClimaxThe texture gets fuller as the song progresses and by the end
of the piece it has climaxed and has gotten louder and more
intense.
