Can Manufactured Bands Ever Be Classified As 'Good' Art? The Effect Of The Market On The Construction Of Music
Number of words: 2383 - Number of pages: 9.... that they are
creations, created and crafted to the personal specifications of the artist.
This makes the product original.
Two values by which I judge music are creativity and originality. I
believe that good art provides 'food for thought' - that special something which,
after the tape has finished, after leaving the cinema or closing a book, leaves
an 'aftertaste' - something to think about, be it, 'how did he/she play that' or,
'what was he/she trying to say with that piece,' the list goes on.
Basic Market Analysis
For the purposes of this essay, I want to split marketing into two

Rock Music
Number of words: 1237 - Number of pages: 5.... Roll was born. It emerged from rhythm and blues, a music similar to
jazz played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white
teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and
later gave it the name of Rock n' Roll. Record companies distributed
records played by whites but composed by blacks. Whites were frustrated
because there weren't any white artists and they didn't want the blacks to
be the stars until Bill Haley appeared with his "Rock Around the Clock". In
this decade, Elvis Presley introduced a music that was sexual suggestive
and outraged dull adu .....

other members who contribute to the live performance - Maxim Reality,
Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint Liam was once the DJ for the London rap
act Cut To Kill, but he became disillusioned with the rap scence's
aggressive attitude after experiencing the 'Love, Peace and Happiness' that
dominated the rave scene. Liam is also a classically trained pianist,

That goal was achieved very quickly, so Liam is now concentra .....

(specifically tension headaches), nausea, dizziness, sleep difficulties, tight
neck and shoulders, racing heart, trembling hands, and restlessness.
Behavioral symptoms I felt were: a definite excess in smoking, bossiness
towards others, compulsive gum chewing, I became critical of others, grinding of
my teeth so hard that I am forced to wear a mouthpiece at night, and an
inability to finish what I start. Some of the emotional symptoms included:
crying, anxiety,nervousness, boredom, edginess, overwhelming sense of pressure,
overwhelming anger, be .....

A Rock Concert
Number of words: 379 - Number of pages: 2.... only
allowed me to move closer to the front. As you can tell, I was packed in until
the end.
Your sight was not left out either. Plenty of pyrotechnics kept your eyes
filled with colorful wonder as the music played on. Souvenir "AC/DC money" fell
from the top of the building. The bills fluttered down to the hungry hands of
the crowd. The stage was a constant flurry of excitement. This was generally
caused by the hyperactive guitarist, Angus Young. Angus was never at a stand
still. He wore a path in the floor running back and forth. Brian Johnson, the
singer, also aided in the .....

Air Pollution
Number of words: 720 - Number of pages: 3.... cause chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema and lung cancer. The second type is sulfur oxides, which come from the burning of coal and industrial processes. Damage to materials, to vegetation, and to the human respiratory system are caused by the acid nature of oxides. The third type of pollutant is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas against which humans have no protection. Hemoglobin, which is in the blood, combines with carbon monoxide and carries less oxygen to body tissues causing health and heart effects. Some health proble .....

Wind Chimes
Number of words: 481 - Number of pages: 2.... as directly to the atmosphere, resulting in a louder tone. A hard
connection between rods and frame would also accomplish this result somewhat;
the vibrations of each seperate rod would be commuted to the others, resulting
in more vibrating surface area (and hence, more volume).
The transmission of the chime's sound without the abovementioned
alterations is quite simple; each rod releases longitudinal waves radially from
it's longest axis (excepting deviances caused by deformation or impurity of the
metal), which travel until they are absorbed or reflected by an independent
surface. These .....

Hawaiian Music
Number of words: 1370 - Number of pages: 5.... is to provide a rattling or drumming sound.
A mele or rhythmic chanting of poetry or song also accompanied it. It is only in the recent century that guitar has been added to this selection of instruments.
The music of Hawaii is a very beautiful harmonization between voices and instruments. The native Hawaiians are known for their vocal ability when it comes to singing. The women’s voices can often times reach an impossibly high soprano note with considerable ease while the men are also able to reach high notes otherwise considered difficult by most men in other areas of the world.

In Paris, Wolfgang published his first works, four sonatas for clavier with accompanying violin (1764).

The Singing School: An American Tradition
Number of words: 1196 - Number of pages: 5.... as melodies for
many psalms. In addition, the text employed the vernacular, and consequently
promoted memorization. The ninth edition of the Bay Psalm Book, published in
1698, was the first edition published with tunes. This edition had printed the
letters F-S-L-M, representing the solmization syllables fa, sol, la, and mi,
under the notes. This indicates that there was a familiarity with and an
interest in music instruction as applied to psalmody.
It was not until the early 18th century, however, that as a direct
result of agitation by ministers for a reformation in congregational singin .....
