Question 4: Music can be a very powerful vehicle to convey meaning or ideas to an audience. With this in mind, analyze the music elements in one example from the American musical theater tradition, choosing either Bernstein's "Tonight" from West Side Story or Sondheim's "Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd" from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Discuss how the composer uses various musical sounds or elements (tempo, melody, dynamics, rhythm, etc.) to contribute to the overall meaning of the song. Include specific examples heard in the music, and link these examples to the lyrics or drama that is taking place.
