It's A Celebration

       As the song name(Celebration) suggests this a song of celebration, just a nice toast to what Kanye has done. A song with a beautiful sound, and some humorous lyrics. Lots of the rhymes are just silly, and it is actually said that during this recording it was hard to keep the orchestra under control due to some laughter, which I think is just great. Nice for people to loosen up when making music, as that is why everyone listen's to music in the first place!
      The song is quite funny anyways, this includes: the chorus, and most of Kanye's lines. A lot of the emphasis he puts on words just makes things all the better. A few of my personal favorites:

Right now I need you to mute all the monologue

All that talking is gonna give me a tylenol 

Yep, We was practicin' till one day you bust through the packagin'

You know what though? You my favorite accident

Ah some truly fantastic flow to match the luxurious beat, and of course some clever lines. 

     The production on this track is absolutely fantastic. A vast variety of instruments. A big list of people performing in the orchestra. All arranged by Jon Brion.

• Violins: Eric Gorfain, Daphne Chen, Victoria Lanier, Julie Rogers, Alyssa Park, Audrey Solomon, Terry Glenny, Susan Chatman, Marisa Kuney & Amy Wickman.
• Viola: Marda Todd, Piotr Jandule, Tom Tally & David Sage.
• Cello: Richard Dodd, Matt Cooker, Armen Ksajikian & Victor Lawrence
• Contrabass: jason Torreano, Frances, Senger & Denise Briese
• Trumept/Flugelhorn: Gary Grant & Dan Fornero 
• Trombone: Andrew Martin & Steve Holtman
• Bass Trombone: Bruce Otto
• French Horn: Rick Todd & Brad Warnaar
• Keyboards: Ervin "EP" Pope
• Bass: Keenan "Keynote" Holloway

All this just translates to something beautiful. It all goes in place with Kanye's voice, you can tell just by listening to the first 15 seconds. Hearing all the instruments increase in intensity. Then as the verses play you will hear the synths which create an electrical tingly on the track, trombone, drums, viola and violins! OOOH!

To be honest for me it is very hard to tell a bunch of the instrument apart from eachother as this all goes in, oh well practice makes perfect!

    As for the vocals, you can barely tell that John Legend is on this track, really blending in with Kanye West on parts of his chorus. As well as the "Ba da da da!" and the "OOOOoooOOhh!" this all from "Heavenly Dream" by the KayGees. Kanye really does a lot of singing on this track, and once again it is that beautiful situation that leaves me clueless. Everytime it just works. 

So indeed a great example of the orchestration on this album, adding to the great range of emotion of Late Registration, and showcasing Kanye's singing, humor, and emotion he puts into his work.
