Half Cadence, Imperfect Authentic Cadence, and Perfect Authentic Cadence all in one Song!






With its classic introduction, and change in song pattern Bibio creates a masterpiece of a work with synthesizers. This song has two songs in one. It bring modern music and classic european music together. The beginning takes us through old European times and makes me think I'm strolling down the streets of France on a Sunday afternoon. There are 3 beats per measure during the first half of the song. While listening to this part of the song, you will be able to tell the IAC is very continuous throughout but there are times when you will be able to hear the PAC. The melody is pretty continuous throughout this section. This could be also said for the second part of the song. The song then changes to 4 beats a measure and has an upbeat sound to it. The song now makes me feel that it is now modern France, yet you are still strolling down the streets on a Sunday afternoon. The IAC then changes to HC through the phrases. The PAC is still there as well. It was difficult to find what "sol" and "re" since I did not know what the key singnature was but I tried my best to find where "do." It is an interesting combination but Bibio makes perfectly in this song.

  1. Wow, I've never heard of this song or the band, but I must say I really enjoyed it. I really liked how the song completely shifted gears about half way through. Although the two different sounds were quite different, it blended perfectly and created a very engaging listening experience. Good job on the song selection. - Brad
