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…

On the night of Saturday, November 19, I attended the North Carolina Theatre production of Monty Python’s Spamalot. This was part of a five-night run at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, part of the Duke Energy Center complex.

Rap music has to be the most influential thing ever to be made. Rap is classified to me as rhythm and poetry, therefore, I believe that anyone who can write a poem and have rhythm to go with it, it’s rap.

So this is why I’m writing this essay, to show you how to (or explain how I learned to) read into rap…

Poetry Assignment – Critical Analysis Stress, Rhythm and Metre When poems have a detectable stress pattern and rhythm, it forms a metre. An example of this would be a poem with ten syllables on each line, where five of which are stressed, and five are unstressed.
