For a friend, I need to find (in the next two hours) two pieces of music, one that could be characterised as being "open", the other one as being "closed". Genre doesn't matter. Can anyone help me and her?
Not sure what you mean exactly. Most music has closure of some kind at the end, so music that ends "open" is going to be tough.
Argentine tango music always ends on the dominant, which sounds pretty open. Could that be an example?
The standard pop "fadeout" ending might be an example of an "open" ending, too.
Maybe the first sixteen bars of My Romance (Richard Rodgers) could be open, while the second 16 could be closed, if that is the kind of example you are looking for.
