Dynamics Dynamics in music refers to varying levels of softness and loudness of sound.  In some musical styles the dynamic level can remain quite constant.  For instance, a blues or rock band might play at a uniformly loud dynamic.  However, other types of music may contain highly contrasting dynamics, ranging from very soft to very loud.  Give a definition of dynamics, as it applies to music, using your own words.  Compare the following examples, Stravinsky's Firebird and Duke Ellington's C Jam Blues. Which example has the most dynamic contrast? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD6OKfnB34E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOlpcJhNyDI
