" What If" Review


Have you ever happened to wonder if there are other people in this world that wish they knew the answers to the questions that puzzle everybody? If you thought you were the only one who had so many questions about our world and our everyday life and why things are the way they are, you’re not. Ellie Evans’ piece, “What If” is incredibly astonishing not only because it‘s a piece that really gets the audience to sit back and go along with Evans’ rich tone and wonder about the rhetorical questions being asked by Ellie but also because of the mood. The mood of this piece could be described as mysterious in a way in which Ellie guides the listener through a dark tunnel and then leads to the light. The way she created this piece is very interesting, it is like a puzzle with different pieces being connected together. The beginning is very captivating, the music she chose to include in the piece really enhances the overall audio. As I was hearing the piece the song at the beginning really set me off to just relax and concentrate on what was coming. The pacing flows along just perfectly. Each time she stops it gives the listener the chance to visually imagine what she is talking about.
