Fell off the edge ...Nope, I completely disappeared. Fell off the edge of the earth or something. ;)<br /><br />I should have said "for the next Tuesday on which I write". Furthermore, I should not have promised something well-written - my writing brain, unfortunately, seems to have vanished altogether. (A shame, really, seeing as I have a million and one things waiting to be written at present...)<br /><br />Oh wait, Tuesday is actually four minutes from now, isn't it? Bother. Well, let's see if I can scrape anything together before this round goes by as well.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616381180591067672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783503944301791046.post-24932864674657240132014-08-11T23:38:24.570-05:002014-08-11T23:38:24.570-05:00am I missing the "next Tuesday" post?

Reminds me of a scene in The Desolation of Smaug - but I digress. Back to the point: yes, this post is severely lacking in musical analysis (and rather lacking in thought, too), and I will return to it with a more studied air; for today it was just an automatically-published "stock post" since I didn't get around to writing either of the other posts I had in mind for this week. Something well-written and more musical will be produced for next Tuesday. :]Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616381180591067672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783503944301791046.post-83418905006321589242014-07-22T22:11:18.170-05:002014-07-22T22:11:18.170-05:00NOOOOOOOOO! You weren't suppose to read this o...NOOOOOOOOO! You weren't suppose to read this one! At least not beyond the first paragraph! AARGH!<br />Oh well... ;]<br /><br />How did I remember all this from one viewing, you ask? Probably because this was the scene that was impressed most deeply on my memory, as well as one of my favorites in the movie. (I have five favorite scenes from HtTYD2 - this one, one with Hiccup and Astrid, and three others I can't remember at the moment.) This scene was truly well done on a number of levels - it was sort of the turning point of the movie story-line wise, it added in a few much-needed elements, it set up the characters for the ending, the animation was beautiful, the setting was perfect for the feel of the scene, the characters and their expressions were excellently portrayed, and the music was magnificent. The whole theater movie-watching-experience magnified it, though; I doubt the impact would have been as great had I first seen it on a standard home screen.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616381180591067672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783503944301791046.post-2783581950308674022014-07-22T21:58:55.786-05:002014-07-22T21:58:55.786-05:00Another thought....
Hey! This is a music blog, ri...Another thought....<br />Hey! This is a music blog, right? You *should* be analyzing the music. You gave glimpses of an analysis when you described the key and tempo change. Why are those changes made and to what effect on the listener? Please try again, because we love it when you wax eloquent on the music!<br />Love, Mom<br />(You did want comments, right? hee, hee)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783503944301791046.post-29200233813585314172014-07-22T21:48:48.980-05:002014-07-22T21:48:48.980-05:00You never cease to amaze me!
