Ella FitzgeraldThey Cant Take That Away From Me
TextureTexture: is the way melody, rhythm, and harmony are combined in a composition to determine the overall quality of the sound of a piece. (Benward & Saker)It is usually described as the thickness, density, or range of a piece
Notice the beginning of the piece has a thin texture. Even in this piano and voice reduction, you can see that the piano has the harmony which is simple and is a nice intro to the piece.The IntroductionA Full Texture
The full texture comes in after the introduction, when the chorus comes in.
Can you hear the trumpets and the orchestra playing louder?The ClimaxThe texture gets fuller as the song progresses and by the end of the piece it has climaxed and has gotten louder and more intense.
