Somewhere Over The Rainbow | w. 4 p. 2

Katharine McPhee- Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The classic song starts out with a great rubato setting the tone for the whole song. It sets up with a monophonic texture also up until about 30 seconds in. Then it switches into a soothing homophonic texture. The tempo for the song hold pretty steady in a slow moving beat, but the variations in the disjunct melodic contour gives it that exciting awe inspiring feel that gives you goosebumps.
