Two Songs

The first song I chose to listen to was from my collection and it is called "Contagious" by Trapt. This song has a medium to fast tempo at about 100 beats per minute, and it is homophonic. This song had a very linear note pattern therefore it was conjunct. Contagious is played in a very distinct pattern which consisted of A, B, A, B', B being the chorus.
The piece I chose from Naxos was, "No. 1: Modere" by George Taylor. Unlike the first song, this piece had a slow tempo, with maybe only 70 to 80 bpm. The song was conjunct because the notes fell in a pretty linear pattern rarely jumping around. The piece was played in a minor key because it had a depressing sound that wasn't upbeat or happy sounding. As far as a pattern went I could not find one. Nothing seemed to repeat.
