Hear Music

Often times iconic scenes in a movie will have amazing music, sound effects and vocals to tie the whole scene together, and with all of these, visuals are not really needed, they will only give a crystal clear image of what the director has already portrayed with sound. One example could be the shower scene in Psycho; if you turn off the screen and only listen to the sound; an almost crystal clear visual is made because you can hear what is actually going on. Another perfect example is the…

Music is a beautiful and powerful thing. Some people are more musically inclined than others, some people can even pick up an instrument and just learn how to play it on their own without any lessons. And other people can compose beautiful, innovative music once they have gone deaf as well. The last statement isn’t so common, unless you are Ludwig van Beethoven. Cursed with the start of losing his hearing at the young age of 25, and losing his hearing completely at the age of 46, he still…

When I play the piano, it relieves my stress. When I hear myself play the piano, it relieves my stress. When I listen to music, it relieves my stress, any music, any radio station. So, I believe that music or piano relieves stress. I have played the piano since I was in first grade. I have always loved music, especially since my mom played piano and likes to sing. Whenever I play the piano and hear those flowing notes, I feel like I have less stress. The elegant sounds of the piano give me a…

4th, the Northern Michigan University music department’s Jazz band held a concert at Reynolds Recital Hall on campus. The music was surprisingly quite varied compared to what I had expected and the musicians were clearly talented. The entire performance was very impressive and it was neat to see fellow students performing and displaying such skill. Ultimately, I was glad to have attended the concert, despite the fact that I don’t particularly enjoy jazz music. The entire concert consisted of…

the first two minutes of the piece we start fairly soft and then the right hand starts to play and increasing the volume. La Valse also includes sforzando , it is very common in this piece to hear sudden accents on certain notes…

at the San Jose State University Music Hall. The audience dressed casually. At the concert, I was a casual and referential listener. Like my previous assessment, I was a casual listener because I didn’t know the name of the song or artist, but I paid attention to the piece. Furthermore, I was a referential listener because I pictured some scenes while listening to the jazz music. When the trumpet played, it reminded me of a scene where a band is playing jazz music in the background at a bar and…

2013” you speak of the difference in music in the year of 1963 and how it was gleeful and uplifting and still is but you believe the music of this generation is so discrediting and malign. In my opinion, I agree this music can be extremely offensive to many people and it is saddening that we have to come to a time in the world when it’s a daily normality to hear the word “nigga” in a song or to hear women referred to as “bitches” and “hoes”. The music we hear today should be changing the way we…

high school and play the French Horn in my school’s Wind Ensemble. Music has always been a part of my life. At age six I began piano, since then I have strived to maintain the powerful influence of music in my life, and during times of hardship music becomes my escape. In fact, more often than not I find myself listening to your beautiful film scores and using them as an outlet to express what words cannot. You ingeniously compose music that shapes the entire tone of films and effectively…

mathematics involves early connections with music and the basic physics of sound. Mathematics is present in the natural occurrence of the ratios and intervals found in music and modern tuning systems. As people age, their hearing becomes dull and require change in the music ratio and interval to hear the same tune as when young. In like manner, the interval increases until a perfect pitch is heard. In this paper we will examine both the mathematics and music background for these ideas. We will…

around the one minute and fifteen second mark. Rhythm is defined as the pattern of sound and beats in the music. Just before the tempo picks up, the flute is in rhythm with Armstrong’s voice, which creates a harmony. Texture is another key element in music because it is the ability to distinguish one voice or instrument from another. I do not have an ear for music, but I thought it was very easy to hear the piano, violin, flute and his voice at thirty-six…
