Three Days of Heaven or Hell?

What would you say if I was to tell you that within three days a festival will change the way you look at everything in a whole? How would you feel about the situation and would you write a paper about it? I can say that I have, and it is something that did change the way I look at music and culture in general.
Within three days everything that I thought I knew about Lollapalooza and concerts in general would change forever. In case you are not sure what Lollapalooza is I will describe it for you. It is a concert that brings rock, metal, country, rap, hip hop, electric music, pop, and alternative all together in one huge three day concert in Grant Park in Chicago IL. It all started at the end of July and beginning August of 2015, I was getting everything ready for the concert to happen.

On the other hand maybe she was just an expressionist? Humanities are the study of art, history, and culture and Lollapalooza is based of art, history, and culture. It was created to bring a wile variety of music and people together all under one festival. Spacing it out over three nights was also nice because you can space out your time if you choose between shows. Between all the era’s that we have studied in class, I would have to say that Lollapalooza is closest to The Renaissance era. Just like The Renaissance era, Lollapalooza was first created to create a rebirth of some music genera’s in the Chicago land area. Another way that The Renaissance era and Lollapalooza related is by how Lollapalooza allowed for the smaller bands the chance to become widely know and get their name around town. This is similar to The Renaissance era, where new artist were coming out of Italy and other city to make their mark on art

    Attending this festival made me feel closer to home since I come from a town that the majority of the population are Mexican. While I was waiting for FAMA to perform it was heartbreaking that in the crowd a child got lost and it took a while for the parents to find him. I was surprised at the parents, because they saw how many people were there and some would still let their children be running around. Therefore, it was a pleasure to attend the Chicano Park Festival because it have insight on the significance of the…

    Music and society have a large impact on each other, and how they shape the way people view and act in the world. There are four themes that identify and characterize how music has evolved over the past one hundred years. These themes also show how music affects and expresses the culture that not only we live in today, but also how we have changed in our views on numerous aspects of today’s society. The four themes that are explored directly with a specific artist and, or, band are how they impact society, politics, and several cultural issues that have stood the test of time and the way race, class, and gender are expressed in music. The development of the music industry and the technology used in it are widely affected by the change in music over decades, but also by outstanding individuals during their careers, which span over a variable amount of time.…

    I don’t know how the wonderful music history of Memphis pass me by but somehow It did! I have always heard that Memphis is known for its music history, especially the blues, but I never investigated the theory for myself. The instructor at the college challenged me to write a paper about the history of the Stax Museum in a reflection paper and I am really glad she did. It influenced me to finally take the time to view the history of Memphis firsthand starting with the Stax Museum. The research, museum, and the informative information my teacher taught in class helped me to learn the original name of the company, showed me the good and bad experiences with the company, taught me the meaning of music terms in the music company and lead me to…

    What I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. The lights were dimmed so people could feel more comfortable and the music consisted of a good balance of upbeat music, and slow music. Songs were sung and people worshiped for about forty-five minutes. This was a very moving experience. Glancing into the audience, it was evident that everyone was engaged in the worship.…

    From my perspective, Chester by William Billings is genuinely a combination of tenor, melodic concordance and clashing dissonances with quite harmonious consonances which consist of fluent It is also made up of changeable levels of syncopation. Of all the things in this song that I found that is attractive to me first, I will strongly state that its complexity of rhythm that is sensitively mess but actually in harmony in different aspects. What’s more, complicated melodies in a wide range also make the whole piece of musical work sounds apparently vivid.…
