Analysing Soundtracks 1. The Simpsons theme song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX1iplQQJTo 1. They fist use a choir singing The Simpsons. This is the introduction into the music. 2. To break the choir into instrumental they then use a bird squawking. That then goes along with the moving image 3. Next comes in the instrumentals using piano and xylophone. 4. Then you there is a sound effect of soaring like a piece of wood against metal this gives the sound track a humorous feel to it. 5. Then it has the sound of a child scream ahhh which is obviously by using a high frequency by pitching the sound higher. 6. It then carries on with the instrumental for about 3 seconds. 7. Then trumpets are bought in then faded whilst hearing the scratch of a keyboard. 8. Then the sound of the school bell is sounded whilst the track begins to speed up to increase tension. 9. A burping sound effect is then put in. 10. A train noise is then sounded with a man saying ahh 11. Then you hear a ping almost made by metal to glass 12. A car is then swerving 13. Again with the speed of the instrumental speeding up 14. Then a car door opening and shutting 15. Then homer saying DOH 16. Another sound effect of a car swerving 17. With a ripping sound as he falls through the door 18. Then sound is suddenly turned off to a soothing xylophone (almost dreaming sound effect) 19. This then goes out of upbeat soothing music into slow depressing music. 20. This uses a slow acoustic guitar with a choir sing in harmony in a lower key 21. With a triangle sound tingling. 22. This carries on with a sad slow piece of music which comes across as upsetting 23. The instruments gradually fade out until just a slow violin is playing 24. Then suddenly goes back into the theme song using trumpet violin guitar piano And xylophone 25. Then ending in a nice sudden fade.
