I wrote my music essay on the movie Hot Pepper. Hot pepper was released in 1973. The documentary alternates brief scenes of Clifton Chenier and his band playing in local joints in Lake Charles, informal conversation between members of the Creole community, and scenic shots of the people and places of Southern Louisiana, Lafayette. Most of the community is African American and speak french. Chenier is considered the king of Zydeco, a blend of blues and R&B music. During the shows of Clifton…

2. The song is fast paced and he punctuates his words very quickly. It has a very strong country tone to it with the guitar rhythm being the baseline of the song, along with the maracas. Berry even sings the song with a bit of a twang which really connotes a western style. The drums and piano add a Rythym and Blues vibe to the song, which creates an interesting mashup of country and R&B. “Maybellene” doesn’t follow the typical rock song structure in that it begins with the chorus instead of a…

A Musical Guide to Music Making Music is something everyone should learn to do. It is a thing that has been done over the millennia. Before digital audio workshops or DAWs one would have spent several months working on a piece and would need an absurd amount of musical training, but now you need only minimal music theory to become a rockstar. There are many ways to go about this and in my opinion they are all the right ways, but this is my way of making rockin’ jams. Bob is an average joe who…

classical music has helped influence the contemporary music that we listen to today. The classical music was the first to produce a chorus which is what is in most genres we listen to today. I listen to R&B and pop songs these songs tend to be about the people actually feeling and things they are going through. The Romantic era has helped shape the R&B and pop songs. Most of the music I listen to focusses on self- expression, This is why I can make the connection and say Romantic music has…

When selecting a style of music appropriate for the Psalter, individuals must consider their personalities and purposes. Each Psalm bears a differing mood and feel, and if recognized and enhanced by a compatible music style, it results in a harmonious composition. This brilliant agreement between the literature and music honors the Lord through its ordered nature. Furthermore, the disposition of the piece in its crescendos and diminuendos and articulations further elucidates the meaning of the…

Music can have many different effects on people. For example, it can have an impact on your brain, mood, and what you do in life. There are many genres of music in today’s age. We have rap, hip hop, rock, and many more. The most popular genre of music in the United States in 2017 was hip hop. Almost every year before 2017 rock was the most popular genre.
