Think of music, think of how it makes people feel when they listen to it. Sounds are vibrations that allow for humans to hear. The sounds people hear can be disliked, like the sound of nails on a chalk broad, or enjoyed, like the sounds of rain falling. Music is just like sound but with words and a specific type of rhythm. In the same way as sound certain people can hate classical music but can like rock music. Classical and rock music are classified into different types of genres. Genres are ways people deceiver one type of rhythm and tone from another. Although classical and rock music are seen to have many differences between them, yet seem to share one similarity in what meaning they really express. Picture a fancy theater somewhere in the city. People are dressed up in nice suits and dresses standing in a lobby with red velvet flooring with white and gold decorated walls. Going in to the theater, a huge stage is all set up for an orchestra that’s going to play. The orchestra walks out all dressed up and sits down in and orderly fashion. As the musicians play, the…
When Mastodon came on the bass player came out with his hands held high above his head shouting at the crowd. They then began playing their set opening with Oblivion, off their album they just came out with. I really started paying attention to guitars when the guitar player, Brent Hinds, brought out his see through Flying V guitar. It was one of the most amazing guitars I had ever seen. I left that night feeling pretty good. For it being my first ever concert, I was amazed that you could do so…
That’s when the raging guitar kicked in, and Violent New Breed seized the stage.

was December 16, 1977 and it was released as a single. "Lovely Day" peaked at #6 on the Billboard R&B chart and at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US in early 1978.[1] Rhythm “Lovely Day” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYi7uEvEEmk) is a song that I impart into my life on a daily basis, mainly because of its positive message and wonderful musicianship.

Module 7 Listening Assignment Stevie Wonder- “Sir Duke” After listening to “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder, I placed it in the Motown category. The melody is upbeat and influenced by pop and R&B elements. Wonder’s vocals are rich and smooth and the studio production and song texture are heavy. The large brass section, which includes trumpets and saxophones along with the drums, rhythm guitar, and bass guitar form a wall of sound. The lyrics talk about the nature of music and the song is a…
The piece was entitled “Sands of Arabia.” It had an Egyptian- sounding melody with completely different rhythm being played from the Percussion section. It had very strong beats with legato phrases from the string instruments. The more I listen, I am reminded of snake charming music. Then by the end of the first minute, the melody completely changes.There are hard drum hits which lead to a call started drums to the strings. In which the strings respond with rapid phrases. The song ends with a…

However, here the concert changed track completely; All three performers got up from or set their instruments down and stood in a line. Then, Douglas explained that the trio would be performing an African chanting rhythm. This was a large step away from each of their own respective backgrounds, and that was obvious in their manner while performing. However, the performance itself was exuberant. It began as a chanting rhythm with words in an unfamiliar language and manifested into the three…
it named ‘Tin Pan Alley’? • In the first half of the 20th century, the primary way of selling music was sheet music. Tin Pan Alley was a name given to those who were in the sheet music business: writers and publishers. About a hundred years ago, Tin Pan Alley got its start in New York City. Because of the many song writers plunking out their song ideas on rows of pianos sounded like a bunch of people banging tin cans, the locals began to call this Tin Pan Alley. 2. Who was Les Paul? What…
