From prehistoric music to modern music, the idea of music is still used today to express feelings and used in ceremonies.…

Did any time elapse between high school and college or have you left any school or college voluntarily for an extended period of time? Please give a detailed explanation. Well, the main reason why I left the college was plain and simple, money. I did not have enough capital to support myself, and my family was also having a hard time pay my tuition due to the extraordinary amount of fees that the college makes you pay. After my leave of absence, I desperately looked for places where I could…

Breaking the Mold Jazz music in the 1950’s typically consisted of smooth, melodic lines, and compositions in 4/4, and in some cases, 3/4 rhythm, which made it easy for listeners to dance along to, therefore boosting the popularity of the particular band. Dave Brubeck went against this commonality, and created music that he enjoyed playing, rather than composing songs that fit into the standardized “jazz mold.” This decade introduced some immensely talented jazz musicians with the innovative…

For My Choice, I was debating between a few different songs and artists. For the assignment, I have chosen the songs Heroes Tonight and Aurora both that are by Janji and Something just like this by Nadia Khristean. Other songs I had considered were Waving through a Window by Ben Platt, or Walk on Water by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Walk on water is more directed towards the population as a whole and how we want to accomplish things that seem impossible but not for the sake of love. Waving through a…

Webern’s Variations for Piano, mvt. 2 Analysis Webern’s Variations for Piano begins with a prime row starting on Bb3. This continues until the Eb4 grace note in measure six. This is primarily consistent in the bottom staff with the exceptions of measures five and six where the rows switch staffs. The switching of staffs occurs in each iteration of the rows and its various forms at one point or another. Wagner also creates an elision with the last note of one row and the first note of another.…

The act of interpreting music boils down to a subjective standpoint. Multiple people may listen to the same musical work and interpret the tone, mood, and theme of the work in different terms. Typically, authors knew what kind of emotions they wanted to evoke in their listeners. However, without leaving a strict manuscript for his listeners, John Dowland allows for his audience to categorize the genre that his works fall under. By leaving room for interpretation, “Sting,” an English musician and…

On the first day and class of my college career, I was asked to define music in my own words. I continued to write in my notebook on the fresh, clean page what I had thought was a creative way of explaining the topic. I had written, “Music is defined as a combination of sounds, voices and beats to make a new stream of varying qualities that are pleasing to the ear based on opinion.” After sitting through several classes I began to realize I had in fact over-complicated the word “music”.…

The Middle Ages were a transitional period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the modern world. Medieval life centered around the church, in which worship services were held, the sick, poor, elderly, and orphaned could take refuge. Here, within the nunneries and convents men and women alike were taught to read and write literature and music. Unfortunately the knowledge was screened by the Church hierarchy, and many were only taught to read works provided to them. Only a…
