Choose THREE contrasting works and describe how the composer uses the following concepts:
1. "Tension and Release" (How the music plays with our expectations as a listener)
2. "Programming" (how the title enhances how the listener perceives the piece).
Be sure to address specifics such as:
1. the composer's other musical influences (from what genre they may be pulling elements)
2. at least one specific element which they may have used from that genre and how that element was used.
