U11-Music-A2-Blog Review a Work
One of my
favorite songs and videos is Michael Jackson's "Thriller". "Thriller"
was written by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones. The song originally was
called Starlight instead of "Thriller". Once it was changed to
"Thriller" then Vincent Price had a speaking part that was also
added. That made the song even more thrilling since Vincent was in so many
scary old movies. This pop song is great but when the visual video is added
then the song just comes to life. It has a fast heart pounding tempo with a
collaborative dynamics and form that really set it apart from other modern
music compositions. It is truly a musical work of art. It is still popular
today and I think it will be popular for some time to come.

Great! I think you are right, "Thriller" is a classic and will probably be popular for a long time. It's true that the accompanying visuals add to its appeal. It would be great to hear just a little bit more about how dynamics and form are used in the song. It makes a lot of use of form, with the really original way Vincent Price is used in the bridge.
