The term Doppler effect describes the aural phenomenon of pitch produced by a moving source changing relative to position, like a siren passing you on the street. Sean O'Loughlin uses this fascinating concept to construct an original composition that uses instances of this effect. A broad melody acts as a connective element in the piece, with a multitude of teaching opportunities for dynamics and musicality.The term Doppler effect is defined as the shift in frequency of acoustic or electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source moving relative to an observer as perceived by the observer. Yes, it is when the siren comes at you at one pitch and leaves you at another pitch. I found this a fascinating concept to construct an original musical composition with. There are plenty of instances of this effect, but I also created a broad melody to act as a connective element to thework. There are also a multitude of teaching opportunities for dynamics and musicality.The opening material should be played very mysteriously and by exaggerating the dynamics. Make the change from p to f as big as you can. The whole opening section builds up to a big arrival at m. 15. From there, we're off to the races with a rhythmic version of the effect. Again, bring out the range of the dynamics for maximum effect. The main melody appears at m. 30 and should be played with much lyricism as a contrast to the pulsing rhythmic activity underneath. The rhythmic pulse evaporates at m. 38 to leave a warm chorale-like section. A big presentation follows at m. 46. The chorale-like section returns at m. 54. Keep that same warmth of sound as before. The next big event happens at m. 67, where the Doppler effect is in full force. Exaggerate those dynamics and bring out the ascending lines in the celli. This leads to a climactic arrival at m. 92 where the main melody is augmented with lush power chords supporting the sound. The rhythmic energy returns at m. 98 to drive the music to a heroic ending.

The music of the Caribbean is a mixture of styles encompassing traditions that reflect the nature of its many islands and ethnic groups which inherited a multitude of rhythms imported by slaves from West Africa. Europeans brought with them Western-style melodies and harmonies, still used today in Trinidadian calypso, a traditional folk genre which gained worldwide popularity thanks to internationally famous artists such as the American singer Harry Belafonte (Calypso, Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song).
