Moving On Up!

Just listened to the "On Point" articles with Robert Kapilow. He sure has an interesting way of describing what is going on within the music we listen to. I liked how he described the double-up notes in America The Beautiful, the triple-up notes in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the one-octave jump in Somewhere Over The Rainbow pique our senses and create the hook that draws our attention to these songs. I was not as enthralled by his explanation of Christmas music. In fact, I zoned out a few times and found it very hard to follow/listen to.
