Jump In, The Water Is Great
This piece is being shown to you because it is totally different than basically anything you’ve heard from Paul. I am no expert in classical music, but I do love it and listen to it and a lot of suites, Planets by Holst and the Firebird Suite are some of my favorites. Paul does a great job throwing the audience into a deep and strong piece that culminates various instruments and uses their specific strength for certain parts. The strings are the foundation, they draw the listener deeper and deeper into the song, being eerie and yet almost soothing instantaneously. The flutes bring a strong amount of personality to breath more life into each moment. The brass sections and percussion are booming and epic, they give the song that punch in the middle. This is the first song of the entire movement, and I’d recommend going on and listening to the other pieces, even if it purely because of the novelty of Paul making a suite and nothing else. This isn’t his first, and probably won’t be his last. It is beautiful, but not groundbreaking or revolutionary. If you’re not into classical music, then you need to be, at least for a couple songs and just give it a go and try to find what you do like. It is called classical for a reason, because this style is the inception of modern created music. Hope you liked Paul week! Let me know what other artists I should review in the future!
