Romantic music

tiresome because this is not my preference of music. However, despite attending it with obvious bias, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole concert experience was startling with exhilaration. The entire atmosphere stuck out to me, as it was a deep contrast towards my usual pop concerts. The lights were dimmed and everyone was silent, simply enjoying the music. The conductor also enhanced the entire experience due to his high energy and obvious love for this music. He conducted and moved with a…

created one of the most complete jazz albums of all time called Kind of Blue. Davis’s parents were a big part of his early success, being that his father bought him his first trumpet at the age of 13 and his mother being a music teacher helped Davis express his love for music. By the age of 16 Davis was talented enough to play at local restaurants and bars around the city. Within one year a band called “Blue Devils” recognized Davis’s talent and asked him to join. Right after Miles finished high…

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”. Professor O explained to everyone that the music was in fact…

Viennese Waltz slightly anticipated the second beat of each measure, making it sound as if the third was late and creating a certain buoyancy. It was popular in Europe, especially in Vienna, because no matter nobility or common people, they liked music and dances. In addition, Johann Strauss I and his son Johann Strauss II were the…

studies show that music can be used as a motivational tool when people exercise or play sports. Music was also found to give effectto the feelings, self-esteem and confidence of the exercisers and also increase the production of imagery. Music stimulates exercisers to continue exercising while dissociating from the exertive sensations from their body (Karageorghis, 2010).

with the music they played was more enjoyable, modern and upbeat. A positive aspect I took from this performance, was inviting and friendly the performers were. It is not everyday where they invite you to sit on stage while they do their performance because they want you to feel like you are a part of it. I really did find much negativity to this performance, besides the fact it was most sung in a different language and hard to follow, but helped me learn more of different types of music. My…

Composers usually write original music, but may adapt classical or other music. For example, many of the musical themes for Kismet came from the music of Alexander Borodin. Music is what keeps people interested in the story most people don’t like the so called “opera” format of a musical this is why music is key to match with the generation it is being performed too. Dancing too is important as long as it matches with…

At first Romanticism influenced the literature world, but by 1820s musicians started to adopt the style in their music as well.
