The History Of Jazz
Number of words: 632 - Number of pages: 3.... band the Original Dixieland Jazz

second major jazz center. White Chicago youths, such as tenor saxophonist Bud
Freeman and clarinetist Benny Goodman, were excited by the New Orleans masters

The Consumer And The Gimmick
Number of words: 1192 - Number of pages: 5.... Once we have what we want it's
not long before we want more. This is because we consume the musicians' talents
like a fast food happy meal. We open the box, take out the toy, throw away the
contents, and then bitch about being hungry. When we do this we always say,
"It's a cool song, but they are a one hit wonder." We the hungry consumer do
not give the bands a chance to show their true musical talents. One example
involves the group Verve Pipe and their hit song "The Freshman." This songs LP
was out in December. No one noticed it until halfway through the month of
March. "The Fr .....

Jazz And Classical Music
Number of words: 1741 - Number of pages: 7.... a time from of 1750 to 1800; thus, the
term Classical is a misnomer and could more correctly be changed to Western Art
Music or European Art Music. European because most of the major composers up
till the 20th century were European. Vivaldi was Italian, Bach was German,
Mozart and Beethoven were Austrian; they are some of the more prominent
composers. Not until the twentieth century with Gershwin and a few others do we
find American composers writing this kind of art music. For the sake of
convention, we can refer to Western Art Music as Classical music.
Jazz is a distinctively American fo .....

Music Censorship
Number of words: 3824 - Number of pages: 14.... is easily noticeable how they thrive off of it. All
of these performers do have one thing in common, at one time or another,
censorship made them victims because of their social unacceptable actions or
the content of their music and lyrics. While censorship is slightly more
realistic and open-minded (no more censoring performers from the waist down,
like Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan show), it still affects listeners and
their choice of music quite significantly. Although the government, music
associations, and other various groups try censorship, the music a person
chooses is still, a .....

Importance Of Music In Society
Number of words: 534 - Number of pages: 2.... among the black atmosphere allowing low visibility. Yet, allowing the educators enough perceptibility to hover and catch obscene dancing. Amazingly, cute girls wearing designer jeans or painted-on hoochie-wear Capris escaped a chaperon and slow -danced in the arms of her significant other or less attractive boys in torn blue jeans.
There were many types of music played for the dancers and listeners. It changed for everyone who heard it. It may have been because of the taste, or the type of music. All the music had a different feeling. Two types of music, Rock and Pop had a calm feeling o .....

Behind The Doors
Number of words: 3007 - Number of pages: 11.... came upon a car wreck.
“The first time I discovered death,” said Morrison, “me, my mother and father, and grandmother and grandfather, were driving through the desert at dawn. A truckload of Indians had either hit another car or something – there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. So we pulled the car up…I don’t remember ever seeing a movie, and suddenly, there were all these redskins, and they were lying all over the road bleeding to death. I was just a kid, so I had to stay in the car while my father and grandfather went back to check it out…I .....

LET IT BE ~ The Beatles ~ 1970

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me

Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let .....

The Misconception Of Classical Music
Number of words: 508 - Number of pages: 2.... to.
My Music Appreciation class gave me knowledge I needed to understand music that I was not already familiar with. The first couple of weeks in the class, we learned the basic elements of not just “classical” music, but all music in general. The next couple of weeks later we listened to music so could utilize the terms we learned. Works like harmony, melody, key, pitch, and chords became more outstanding to me. Next, we started studying the various time periods of Western Europe music. I learned that music started way back 450 A.D. which is also known as the Medieval period. As .....

Music In Video Games
Number of words: 1356 - Number of pages: 5.... video game industry.
The first technological enhancement which greatly enhanced the quality of
music in video games is the number of bits which a sound Central Processing Unit
(CPU) has. The sound CPU is a component in a video game system which controls
every single sound which a system produces. This, then, obviously includes
music. Specifically, the CPU controls what sounds are to be played at what time,
their volume and dynamics, and each sound's length and rhythm. In a sense, the
sound CPU acts as a conductor who has absolute control over every single
instrument in his orches .....
