Page 105, Bars 91–105: Oliver! by Lionel Bart; 1960; Lakeview Music Publishing Co. Ltd, London.] 2.1 Name the scale used in this melody. Pentatonic 2.2 What is the structure (form) of the entire melody? AABA 2.3 With reference to the melody above, identify similarities in the way that Mozart and Bart depict the social status of their characters in the music. Leporello and Fagin are both comic characters (to an extent): both sing in the "patter" style, which emphasises their lower class, supposedly limited education. Chromatic, conjunct, narrow range. Donna Anna and Oliver are both from higher social class, although Oliver's present situation doesn't reflect this. They both sing lyrical melodies with long phrases e.g. "Who will buy?" (Oliver!) and Donna Anna's lines in the introduction to Don Giovanni. Melismatic, wide range. Dotted rhythms, legato, diatonic. 2.4 Refer to APPENDIX A in the Resource Booklet. Identify the texture of the extract. Explain how Lionel Bart creates the texture. Polyphonic – [many melodies at the same time] (1 mark). Each of the street sellers has his/her own melody, which are initially heard individually but in this section, they are written so that they overlap, creating a polyphonic texture.
