On the First Beat

Hindustani Vocal Virtuoso The artist I will be discussion in the following paper will be Meeta Pandit. Meeta pandit is a classical Hindustani vocal artist accompanied by tabla percussion and harmonium aerophone instruments. The event took place in the Music Building. Before attending the performance I expected Meeta Pandit’s music to be like the type of music one associates with Bollywood culture, upbeat with various dance numbers. However, I obviously didn’t know much about Indian music and…

One reading that interested me was the first chapter of “Understanding Black American Aspects In Hip Hop Cinema” by Tani Sanchez. This reading made me understand more about the past and how hip hop music was born. It provided so much information about the history of it all. It explained how music radiates through people to better the world. Within that first chapter of “Understanding Black American Aspects In Hip Hip Cinema”, it focused on the aspect of importance of hip hop music, where it…

moderate level before going back to a weak beat. Basically causing a syncopation within their piece. The texture of the piece was a polyphonic between the piano and drums. The melody of this song was bright and happy throughout the song and high temp at the same time. There we so many dynamics used within this song. First, began soft beat then carried on into a loud beat and slowly later on it repeated the pattern of going back and forth with the beats until the very end. The vocals of the…

Katie had to make a huge decision in leaving her abusive husband in the beginning in the book, Katie made very smart decisions, but she was also very scared. Her first decision that made her character very smart was just leaving her husband in the first place (Sparks 18). Katie’s birth name is actually Erin. Erin legally changed her name to Katie, because Katie was so freighted that her husband Kevin would come to find her and take her home. Katie traveled by bus instead of, plane, car, or taxi,…

right and wrong, ethics and morality and social good, together with young men like him that he met at Colombia. That this small coterie finally was called as "Beat Generation" can be traced back to 1948 when this phrase arose in a conversation between Kerouac and John Clellon Holmes. And these writers started to call themselves as the beat generation to characterize a perceived underground, anti-conformist youth movement in New York. Yet at that generation they were regarded by the mass literary…

that involved these three items. The competitor must beat Father five times to win. They lose once, they are out and are forced into slavery for him. A rock, a piece of paper, and a pair of scissors would sit on a table in front of them. Whichever object they chose would be their “weapon” for that round. It goes like this: rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. How paper could possibly beat rock, I have no idea. My first competitor went be the name Lancelot, and let me…

Simon Legree and Uncle Tom’s relationship wasn’t so good. On the day Legree first laid on eyes on Tom, he had high expectations for him. Legree bought Tom and wasted no time in letting him know who was in charge. He took some of Tom’s belongs and kept the ones he like for himself and threw the rest of them out into the river. When Legree notices that Tom has a bible he tells him that he is religious ways were soon going to be taken out of him. Also tells him “I’m your church now! You understand,…

The old man having awakened waits in the darkness knowing that someone is present. The narrator now shines his light upon the old man's eye. We then experience the first accusatory beats of the heart. The beating of the heart grows louder until the narrator feels he must act. Fixated on the eye the narrator choses to attack; falling on the old man like a vulture and tearing him to pieces. The act furthers the narrators decent…

leading; Debussy begins without the tonic note, introducing it later, where the mediant of the chord (F natural) is doubled. This gesture could also be interpreted as opening with chord iii (still with doubled mediant) moving to chord I on the third beat of the bar; however I think this is less likely to be Debussy’s intention because of the use of a Db chord in bar 9 when the phrase is imitated. The choice of chord I is also supported by the left hand for the opening four bars, which implies a…

rapidly in association with happiness or joy. Oppositely, it may be slow in rhythm with soft beats in connection with sadness. In music “stately” rhythm is more apollonian than not, because of its stressed beat followed by two more stress beats. This is important because of the energy these specific beats give off, making the listener want to meditate and relax. Apollonian is relaxing with soft, repetitive beats to ease your mind and give you time to reason and think about the beauty of the…
