West Side Story Song Analysis #2


West Side Story-Tonight




This scene really reminded me the scene from Romeo and Juliet after the ball when Romeo comes to the balcony and sees Juliet. 


The similarities between Maria is that both of the song start soft and calm , but in the middle both of them get loader and exited! The difference however is that after the exiting middle it goes calm again and Maria doesn't have that.

West Side Story-I Feel Pretty




The music in this song underlines all the ending of her lines and adds big dynamics plus the rhythm changes when her friends start to sing with her . When Maria sings alone the rhythm changes faster. This gives a feeling that her feelings are bouncy and fast. She is in love :) When you are in love you feel pretty <3
The girls think that she is crazy because of her unusual mood and way of talking. And because she looks different.

  1. Liz - thank you for your blog entries concerning the West Side Story analyses...however, you have not completed Song Analysis #3....
    With the reflections you did complete, you did well, but you could have fleshed out your responses a bit more. Your blog page looks great and I love the pictures you've uploaded to each of your entries!
