1974 in music

“Bang, Bang,” she was able to take me back to my Junior year of High School, when I had a guy begging at his kneed for me. Even through, I rejected him, it just brought me back to that feeling. Ariana Grande wasn't able to use any emotions in her music, which makes it really hard to connect with her. Prince Royce only knows when to add emotions to certain songs, like when he sang, “Solita,” Oh my. I was so in love with the fact, that cry, something no other male singer can express. The one thing…

dimensions of Popular Music, by Robin Sylvan, New York University Press: New York, 2002. 291 pages. Reviewed by Christina Coulter. This book was chosen due to its interesting topic. Most of the music covered in class is more traditional music taken from various cultures around the world. This book, on the other hand, covers popular music in America. Its analysis has many interesting points on the effects of music that mirror what we have discussed in class, such as the use of music for ritual.…

At the concert that I attended, a small orchestra called the Watauga Community Band performed in the Rosen Concert Hall on campus. The concert hall was relatively small, and the lights were left on for the audience. This made the atmosphere feel more informal and welcoming. The band was introduced by a master of ceremonies, and then one of the clarinet players stood up and introduced the first piece. The clarinet player would provide background information before each piece. This was helpful to…

went to the performance was because we would rather listen and learn by the music than just learn in on a blackboard. It is better to get a hands on experience rather than just hearing it from a cd. Mr.Jolley started off by introducing himself and why he picked his first piece which was by Paul Dukas(1865-1935). During the concert, Mr.Jolley explained the reason that why he picked some of the pieces. His choices gave the music he played a personal feel, so it felt like it came from his own…

I think that it mostly matter want you major in, if you major in business or any other major that isn’t liberal arts related. And should go to a school that actually related to business. The definitions of the liberal arts school in the article is, school that majors in arts, humanities and English, education, social work, and criminal justice. Yes, most likely all of three article stated that liberal arts degree are waste of time and that you aren’t going to make lot of money. I was surprise…

she had intended stutters written out to truly capture her interviews like in reality. I felt at peace, then astonished as her voice varied. The violin and piano music wonderfully accompanied Smith, settling the right mood for her performance. The music would move along with her pace – slow or fast, quiet or loud. I found that the music was a great divider for every separate subject matter that she brought up in her speech – from the introduction, setting a peaceful mood, to the climax, more…

The sounds, the smell, the sights, and the eerie and melancholy, but somehow always beautiful sound of jazz music assaulted the man's eardrums, as usual, as the dusk began to darkness, and the final rays of the sun lit up the sky in an incandescent, orange glow, which perfectly match the scene. New Orleans was a city, Michael O'Loughlin was still to become accustom to, and that showed in the way his bright green eyes shifted from side to side, his attention caught by the bright dolls and…

is important for any singer, they should still try to incorporate their own unique musical techniques into their teaching or performance repertoire. The beginning of the concert featured a digital presentation that questioned what "appropriate" music should be considered and who has the authority to decide what should be performed by formal singers. The questions were all rhetorical and would later be answered by Dr. Whitcomb throughout her performance. After the presentation was over, the…

different variety and meaning to it. The sound effects give us imagery of what is going on with Adam and the hitchhiker. The music gives us mystery and suspicion every time Adam sees or meets the hitchhiker on the road. When Adam first sees him he thinks that it’s no big deal but once the hitchhiker shows up in every place Adam goes Adam gets a little freaked out. Both the sound and music therefore make a foreshadow which means it tells the readers what is going…
