the conversation- coppola sound track

I think for part of my home work i am to listen to this song from the film conversation.

The Conversation (1974)       113 min - Drama | Mystery - 1974 (Japan)            A paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert has a          crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is             spying on will be murdered.          Director: Francis Ford Coppola         Writer: francis Ford Coppola          Stars Gene Hackman, John Cazale and Allen Garfield             whilst listening to this it starts of with a very slow melody. Its very enticing and makes me feel sort of relaxed. It then goes off a bit to some slower tones. Making the listener more enticed into listening to the track. Its not to harsh on the listeners ears and makes them think of past distant memories. Thus making them wanting to listen on and feel more from it. The sort of effect that its having on me is making me think of someone sat in a very big white room playing the piano. maybe after a break up as towards 2minutes it gets very deep and harsh then slows down and goes into a melody that calms down but speeds up making the listeners imagination go further and more indepth into more of what they are relating this music to. I really feel that this piece has been really inspiring as the ending in its self, it slows down and ends with a very low note thus making this more prominante for the audience to notice that the ending is coming and then the note is left playing in an echo form. So he or she has time to come back to reality. Rather than just ending it ends rather slowly making the listener more relaxed and feel that they want to listen to it once more to really feel the effects that the composer has had on them. David Shire is the composer and i really feel that this is a very exsquisive piece.
