Number of Words: 2383 / Number of Pages: 9
... 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
general strategies. The first of these is where the designers ...

The Ideals Of Instrumental Music
Number of Words: 850 / Number of Pages: 4
... 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 vehicle for the
utterance of thoughts which, although first hinte ...

Censorship...Who Gives A F**k!!!
Number of Words: 1956 / Number of Pages: 8
... this question, my parents
said I could see it, now why can't I see it? The answer to that question is the
government doesn't think I am old enough. My mom said live with it, there is
nothing you can do. I think that made me more inquisitive.
That was just the beginning, I was too young to go on certain rides and
too young to go into stores like Sharper Image and I was too young to purchase
the music that I really enjoyed. When I was able to get my hands on a Compact
Disc I had wanted, it sometimes had a "Explicit Lyrics" warning sticker on it. I
would go home, listen and enjoy only to get lectured ...

Drugs In The Music Industry
Number of Words: 1185 / Number of Pages: 5
... Alice in Chains, Sex Pistols, Sublime, Iggy Pop,
the list goes on and on. Together, these bands have sold more than 60 million
albums(Newsweek pgs 50 & 53).
Since kids emulate popular musicians, what is there to keep them from
emulating their drug use? Moreover, what's to keep the majority of the
population from doing the same? In the 60's and 70's, drug use was never spoken
of nor did anyone admit that it was a problem. Nowadays, there is not a person
in the world who hasn't heard about the rising drug use. But what are they
doing about it? Back in the 80's, higher prices, the fear of contr ...

Acculturation: The Beginning Of Music Education
Number of Words: 1849 / Number of Pages: 7
... stage is Absorption. One of the most difficult things to do when guiding children through these stages is to know when the right time is to move them to the next stage. This often requires much patience. The reason that you need so much patience is because all children move through the different stages of preparatory audiation at different times. The times when children move are as different as their handwriting.
In the Absorption stage, children are “absorbing” music. But, not all music is appropriate. Most of the music that should be played is live music. It should also be played in diffe ...

People Are Still Trading Crime For Crime

... innocence
they are a matter of degree
what might be justice to you
might not be justice to me.3
This is a clear example of DiFranco addressing the listener. One is almost forced to contemplate over such a line. DiFranco wants you to think about what justice means to you. So you soon realize that listening to the song just is not enough.
DiFranco wouldn't be DiFranco if she stopped here. She is someone who takes her listener a step further;
You might be the wrong color
you might be too poor
justice isn't something anyone can afford. 4
She does so by specifically raising the question i ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

... their talents to audiences in Germany, in Paris, at court in Versailles, and in London (where Wolfgang wrote his first symphonies and was befriended by Johann Christian Bach, whose musical influence on Wolfgang was profound). In Paris, Wolfgang published his first works, four sonatas for clavier with accompanying violin (1764). In 1768 he composed his first opera, La Finta Semplice, for Vienna, but intrigues prevented its performance, and it was first presented a year later at Salzburg. In 1769-70, Leopold and Wolfgang undertook a tour through Italy, where, in Rome, Wolfgang wrote down Allegri' ...

The Singing School: An American Tradition
Number of Words: 1196 / Number of Pages: 5
... 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 singing,
arguments were advanced promoting regular singing and the ...

Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" And The 1960s And 70s
Number of Words: 467 / Number of Pages: 2
... Kansas probably wasn't exactly the
hippie capital of the world. If I had interviewed someone who had lived in
a major city during the 60's I'm sure the danger would have been more
noticeable. A majority of the drug usage took place in the cities.
Jimi Hendrix is a perfect example of a hard-core hippie. He was a
drug addict as well as a spontaneous musical historian. He did have a long
lasting impact on many people. His death was very controversial. Was his
life wasted on sex, drugs, and rock and roll or did he capture the spirit
by seizing every moment for what it was worth? His music is sti ...
