The song I've chosen is "Bridge of Light" By Pink. For my own research task I will be doing it on the artist Alecia Beth Moore but better known by her stage name as Pink. Pink has an alto vocal range although she can hit the very top notes. Her voice would be describes as raspy, husky and very distinctive. Most people have label her names along the lines of "a powerhouse vocalist" because of her in-tenseness. Although being a //Pop// singer, Pink is also known for her raw voice and her ability to sing soulful songs. Her genres include //Hip Hop, Pop, R&B// and //Rock//. The song "Bridge of Light" falls under the genre //Pop Rock// although it has a soulful feel. It was released as part of the //Happy Feet Two// soundtrack. Pink is the main singer in this song but she is back-upped by the //Happy Feet Two// chorus. I originally loved the song once I heard it in the movie. I made a few alterations with the chords and melody of the song to suite how I was playing and singing the song.

The tempo of this song is more of a slow tempo and it stays slower throughout the whole song. The dynamics in this piece starts quite soft and then after every verse and chorus it gradually gets louder and by the last chorus it is at its loudest. In this piece there are some sections that have more instruments and some sections with less instruments. It is like the dynamics of the piece, as the song starts to progress it gets louder and there are more layers of instruments. There are backing vocalists in this song but they are only in some certain sections. They are not singing the whole time. This piece is in common time (4/4 time) and I was able to tell by the crotchet beats the piano plays at the very start of the piece. The beat of the drums is also an easy way to identify how many beats per bar there are. This song is major sounding, happy. Even in the key change it is still a major sounding song. In this song there is no recognizable pattern but on the piano there is a steady crotchet beat on the same note that occurs throughout the song. The high point in this song would have to be the end chorus because all the instruments are playing and the song is at its loudest and it has just had a key change and the song gets more intense.
