Listening Journal- Brandenburg Concerto Two, Movement One by Bach

The piece I am analyzing is Movement One of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto Two.
Melody: The melody is mostly conjunct for all parts, even though the ranges are very wide. The conjunct just means that the piece moves mostly step-wise. Though the majority of the piece is conjunct, a few parts seem to be very disjunct.
Rhythm: The tempo is allegro, as the piece moves fairly quickly.
Pitch: The range of the flute is very wide, as they go from lower notes to higher notes. This seems to be the case for many of the instruments playing in this piece.
Timbre: There is a flute, a trumpet, an oboe, violins, and a viola. There are both aerophones and chordophones. The tone color of the piece is lively, and vibrant.
Dynamics: The dynamic seems very mezzo-forte at first, but starting at 0:25 it goes down to piano. It then gets to mezzo-forte again at 0:30, as the other instruments join in with the violin. At 2:40, a new section comes that is more piano, as a louder instrument is taken out of this section.
Texture: The piece is polyphonic, as there are many different parts being played at the same time throughout the piece.
****Fun note: Section 3:25-3:35 of the trumpet part of this piece sound sort of like part Adele's song, Million Years Ago. I'm wondering if maybe she sampled from this while writing it, it's particularly when she sings, the chorus. Just something cool I noticed.

Listening Journal- Thrice Happy Lovers by Henry Purcell

The piece I am analyzing is Thrice Happy Lovers by Henry Purcell, from his opera, The Fairy Queen.
Melody: The melodic intervals are mostly conjunct, as they move step-wise. The piece seems to be in a major key.
Rhythm: The tempo of the piece is adante, and it does not really change as the piece carries on.
Pitch: The male singer has a smaller range, as he mostly stays in between the low and the high notes throughout.
Timbre: There is a male singer, and the main accompaniment seems to be an older sounding piano (I genuinely cannot figure out what this instrument is).
Dynamics: There is a decrescendo at 1:30, and the piece starts out at mezzo-forte. The piece essentially stays at a mezzo-forte throughout its entirety. The piece sounds more like a recalling, or remembering, rather than nostalgic or sad.
Texture: The piece is strophic, as it has a chorus and different voices, the chorus starting with the lyrics "Thrice happy...". The piece is secular, and in English. It is homophonic, as it has one main melody with a simple accompaniment.

Listening Journal- Altri Canti d'amor, Tenero Arciero by Monteverdi

The madrigal I am analyzing is Altri Canti d'amor, Tenero Arciero by Claudio Monteverdi.
Melody: The melody is mostly conjunct, meaning the singers have smaller intervals to sing, and nothing to spread apart.
Rhythm: The tempo of the piece up until 3:28 is adagio, and then picks up to be more lively and quick. During this section it seems to be more andantino.
Pitch: The pitch of the lower female singer stays fairly consistent, and within a smaller range, staying towards the lower notes. The pitch of the upper female singer is also fairly consistent, with a small range, and stays in the higher notes. The low male voice stays relatively low the whole time, within a small range.
Timbre: There seem to be violins, and possibly viols. It mostly sounds like there are many chordophones . There are also three singers, one male, and two female. After 3:28, though, a second male voice is added, seeming to be higher than the original one. Up until 3:28, the piece sounds melancholy, or nostalgic, but picks up after that to sound very purposeful. Though starting at 5:51- 8:12, the lower male singer is solo, until then rejoined by the other singers. At 9:43, they all sing in unison until the end of the song.
Dynamics: From 1:21- 1:26, the singers sound like they slightly crescendo and then decrescendo. This also happens in 3:17-3:22.
Texture: The piece is polyphonic, because three different voices are singing and accompanied by the instruments. This piece is also secular.
