Tonality
Tempo
Texture

Answer 10

Tonality - overall Eb major love chord
Tempo - part 1 tranquilo for dreamy love and part 2 maestoso ( majestic) with con poco moto at bar 11 and a tempo to maestoso at 19 reflects greater urgency of part 2
Texture - antiphony, imitation, same bars in both eg 12, 14,17 with extra in part 2 eg18,32

Question 11

Harmony part 1

Answer 11

Intro in tonic chord with added 2nds
5-10 sustained tonic or subdominant chord - added notes for dissonance

16-18, II 7 to V7 chords with added notes for dissonance and yearning
19 back to tonic

Question 12

Harmony part 2

Answer 12

Similar to part 1

19 slightly more dissonant accompanying chords

Question 13

Harmony cadences

Answer 13

Plagal eg 7,8,9 - IV9&I9,11 word paints “feel”, “steal” at 21
And in part 2 bars 25-28 word paints “day”

Imperfect eg 16,17 word paints “Johanna” in part 2 “beside you”

Perfect 18,19 word paints “ hair” held for emphasis suggests long hair
Also at 33-35 hair again

Question 14

Melody intervals -word painting

Answer 14

Both parts - minor 6th word paints “I feel” and “I’ll steal” repeated at 19
Johanna - minor 3rd
I feel - perfect 4th for plagal cadence
I’d waken, can hide you - perfect 4th
To dream, your window - dim 5th
mistaken is minor 7th - same bar part 2 is perfect 4th beside you
Part 2 bars 26,27 major 2nd and “one”
