A listening prompt
Use this pairing to explore how accompaniment affects a melody’s mood. Follow the familiar vocal against the score’s sense of build, and consider what changes when a dance-song hook leaves its original rhythmic setting. Then compare that approach with a groove-led mashup: a convincing combination can depend on emotional contrast as well as rhythmic energy.
