Music video

So many different countries that have lost a bit of their cultural music are steadily attempting to keep that music. China, along with many other countries, seems to be trying to keep their traditional music alive for their future generations. The Manchu, as you mentioned, is the group that really has kept their traditional musical practices and it seems to have been because of their religion. I believe that when a musical tradition has a tie to a religion, it is much more likely to last a…

talking drum, kora (large harp-lute), and djembe (goblet-shaped hand drum)” (Lesson 6), but he also utilizes other instruments like “electric guitars, bass, synthesizer, and keyboards to produce African-flavored music with a techno beat” (Lesson 6). However, later on in…

their own inner grove, you can be pretty much certain that it’s not classical music they’re listening to. Teenagers I know can enthusiastically rattle off the name of a dozen bands on their current favorite playlist, but ask them if they know who Brahms was and a funny kind of glazed look comes over their eyes. Even my music students, who I’d hope would know better, are astonishingly unknowledgeable about classical music, and if they don’t even know the names of these composer, you’d better…

Concert Review II In 1965, The Lovin’ Spoonful performed their first hit single “Do you Believe in Magic.” This music represents the folk genre, and one which has been popular for many decades. A quick Google search revealed the song has been featured in many commercials and in movies such as American Pie and Date Movie. I chose it because of the upbeat and happy feel. In addition, the tune puts listeners in a good mood and also entices them to dance. The following essay will first describe…

participated to the St. Paul Music Concert, and we played instruments and sang several songs in St. Paul Gym. It was from 1 O’clock to 3 O’clock, and not only the secondary students, but also their parents enjoyed St. Paul Music Concert, and the parents saw how music skills of their sons and daughters had been improved. Goals of this Music Concert were to enjoy last day before a Christmas holiday and to show parents what their sons and daughters had learned in their music classes. Every Middle…

Music Against Women Music has always been a part of American society and culture; it has been used as a way to create change as well as to unite people of different cultural backgrounds. Music has also been at the center of modern relief efforts in the USA where music artists have often come together to raise awareness and funds through musical collaborations. There are many genres of music for Americans to choose from, so there is a place for everyone to find what allows them self-expression.…

While this is very common I think that references to God and the Holy Trinity, as gender neutral is more appropriate. In the video after the communion service some of the congregation were asked how the service helped them to connect to God. They had much to say about their experience with God. Jim Anderson was reminded of the world awaiting us. Gloria Evanson spoke of being…

tunes in todays pop culture. As soon as the music video begins, the audience is introduced to the male that Swift is in relations with. He is seen getting out of a fancy and rare car; this makes him seem just as fancy and rare as his car. The next scene displays Taylor Swift in bed with her breakfast laying next to her and a cat draped on her hand. This simple depiction proves that she is a high maintenance, needy girlfriend. The occasion of this video is set in a mansion. The castle served as…

The music video of LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” is rich with cultural artefacts and statements. Despite their partying and free-of-care spirit, the landscape, depiction of gender, ethnicity and briefly religion could only be seen to be deliberate and well planned out. The music video is an intertextual reference to the genre of post-apocalyptic movies and dramas. The video plays with the concept of people being effected by a massive plague, which takes away your human nature upon infection.…
