Hear Music

Dreams The short story “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin suggests that it is important for a person to follow his or her own dreams even if those dreams conflict with their family’s values. In the story there are many circumstances where Sonny’s brother tries to talk Sonny out of being what he wants to be. Sonny wants to be a jazz musician. Sonny’s brother wants the best for Sonny. He wants him to stay out of trouble and do what is best for his future. Sonny’s brother doesn’t agree with that…

was in a two note accompany. The piece volume was at a dynamic that was soft reasonable on the calm. In my own opinion i can see this piece being played at a ballet recital. The ballet dancer will be moving o so smoothly, following the pace of the music. Conclusively the timbre is very visual in a way. The tone-color of the mid high pitch gives off a mellow , grayish blue feel thats follows through the piece. The tone-quality was rather pure; it contained an authentic sound. In the middle of the…

When I want to dance, I’ll listen to house music with a heavy bass. Only in the summertime while driving with the windows down will I turn on the country music station. I am very conscious in my choice of music, and I will often aggravate my friends by skipping through one hundred songs until I find the perfect one that fits my mood. I will spend longer searching for the music I want to hear than I do actually listening to it. A key component of music that I look for when choosing a song is a…

Life can be messy and filled with complications. Throughout the journey of life, there are moments of ups and downs, triumphs and failures. One day a child might come home ecstatic that she got to pet a dog during show and tell. However, later in her life, she may realize that her family is being separated because her parents are getting a divorce. More bad news could keep piling up as she realizes that her father is being deployed overseas for an entire year. However, she tries to stay positive…

surrounded by music growing up because of his father and because of him I also did. My dad is constantly playing shows at markets or restaurants with his accordion. My grandmother has a beautiful voice and growing up I was always surrounded by it. My grandfather whom I mention a lot about later on was the most musical man in my life. He started a family…

born on September 13th, 1874, would become one of the most important influences on classical contemporary music. Born to a non musical family, Schoenberg was a primarily self-taught cellist and joined an amateur orchestra under the direction of Alexander Zemlinsky. He would later be instructed in composition by Zemlinsky, and in counterpoint by Oskar Adler. Schoenberg became prolific in music theory and composition while working his job as a bank clerk, and later quit this job to become a full…

transforming into his love for music. This alteration in interests prompted him to begin playing the violin in a local orchestra. Tim played the violin since he was a little boy and always loved music but was constantly too busy to focus on art. As his responsibilities decreased at the University, he began playing more frequently. Tim spoke about his fascination with art and the neurological pathways ignited by the sound of music. He described how the neurology of music sends signals straight to…

To begin, Bach was a devout Lutherian, who played music for the church (Sherrane). Toccata and Fugue, a two-part musical piece composed for the organ (generally speaking, the instrument most associated with the church), is assumed to have been created with spiritual intent (Schwarm). Bach 's duties for the church included making religious music, which combined with his faith, and musical passion make it likely this piece was crafted for sacred purposes…

the first few notes of the Chopin prelude I’ve been working on for an entire year now. Feeling the music progress exactly as I’ve practiced it for months now, I finish and bow. I hear the applause in the background, but all I am thinking about is how happy I feel. Piano has been my favorite instrument as I’ve grown up, but it certainly isn’t my the only instrument I have come to love playing. Music has been a part of my life ever since before I was born. My mom and dad did a great job of…
