Review Of Gyorgi Ligeti's Danse Macarbei
Number of words: 279 - Number of pages: 2.... to have sculpted a piece together from bits
and pieces of other musical styles: a sort of modern-art approach to music. The
violins tuning without a care in the first few moments, the slow mock continuo
of the highly dissonant bassoon counterpoint, and the later high pitch of a
clarinet all seem to be broad, bold strokes on a canvas of sound. Ideas come
floating to the front of the imaginary "stage", and drop back behind newer
themes.
The percussion also adds considerably to the complexity of the piece in
the later minutes, stomping along without any respect for the classical violin
or the .....

Number of words: 528 - Number of pages: 2.... 1994, Tupac himself was shot during an attempted robbery
outside a music studio in New York. Tupac did, however, mention this; “Thug life
to me is dead. If it's real, let somebody else represent it because I'm tired of
it.” Shakur told Vibe Magazine. “I represented it too much. I was Thug Life”(“

Origin Of Musical Instruments
Number of words: 2644 - Number of pages: 10.... father-in-law Laban, lived in Babylonian territory, and when Jacob left him in haste, he said to him: "Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly . . . that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?

Gregorian Chant
Number of words: 1971 - Number of pages: 8.... chanting and that’s the big difference. Second, there shouldn’t be any music in the background as in the enigma CD.
So what exactly is ? A bunch of notes slapped on a paper that people just riddle off in a deep voice so it sounds good? Of course not. Chant is a specific kind of music. The people of that time didn’t really develop far into music so there was no real back bone to work from. No organization or format to follow. The way chant was written and performed is very different from today’s music. today has a format to follow and a way to be written, so it sounds very much .....

Review Of A Concert Of Sacred Music From The Moores Opera
Number of words: 591 - Number of pages: 3.... piece was Gloria. It was louder and more powerful then
the rest. The parts were sung by women then men in a beautiful combination.
The music was soft and intimate then quickly getting louder and more
powerful. “Gloria” was trying to make a point in a almost begging manner.
My favorite was the Amen at the end, and how it was equally distributed
between the female and male.
I also enjoyed Credo. It was sad and hurtful. The strings and
oboe played at the time when the choir was singing soft and low which
impacted the mood of the composition.
Coro was the second second group of perf .....

Life's Too Short
Number of words: 896 - Number of pages: 4.... all, an important ingredient to the song is how it appeals to
kids. With it's ghetto beat and monster bass the song is something that kids
feel cool listening to. This is his first success ingredient, getting the
attention of his audience so that they will listen to his message. His message
is of course the best thing about the song. It explains to kids to "stop just
hangin out, set your self some goals, think positive, and keep hustling".
Too Short has got to the financial level he's at, by following the keys
that he describes in his song, not by following the stereotypes that pare .....

Paul Simon: I Am A Rock

love, etc. Then, in the third line of this stanza, he says "I have no need of
friendship - friendship causes pain, It's laughter and loving I disdain." He
said that he doesn't want friendship because it just causes pain, and that the
laughter and loving he hates or despises. He wants to be left alone, like it
says in the third stanza, "Hiding in my room, Safe within my tomb."
He wanted to be shielded from society. In the first line of the third
stanza, he says "I have my books and my poetry to protect me, I am shielded in

Romantic Music: The Ideals Of Instrumental Music
Number of words: 851 - Number of pages: 4.... of the 19th century, was resolved in the conception of program music.
Program music, as Liszt and others in the 19th century used the term, is music
associated with poetic, descriptive, and even narrative subject matter. This is
done not by means of musical figures imitating natural sounds and movements, but
by imaginative suggestion. Program music aimed to absorb and transmit the
imagined subject matter in such a way that the resulting work, although
"programmed", does not sound forced, and transcends the subject matter it seeks
to represent. Instrumental music thus became a vehic .....
