The clavichord is one of the early stringed keyboard instruments which was popularly used during the late Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque as well as the Classical period.

Talent from the 1960’s vs. Today’s I’ve always wondered what happened to the music industry? What happened to the simpler music about love and peace? Now a-days there’s hardly ever any meaning to lyrics. All we here about are breakups, parties, the luxurious life that these artists are living, or artists hating on other people.

The most challenging duty for a columnist, blogger, or anyone who writes about popular music is appealing to a demographic of musos and die-hard admirers. It’s one thing to venture off into the skeptical world of music aficionados alone, granted that you’ve taken a class or two on how to speak their technical language, but it's another thing to venture off without being able to communicate why an artist’s musical choices are, in fact, artistic. Take, for example, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A…
affiliated with technological industry, including computers and even some smart phones. In today’s style of music, most often the elements and instruments being used are actually not instruments at all, but digital sounds created by a computer synthesizer. Entirely new genres of music have come to fruition through the work of portable DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) including techno, Electronic Dance Music (EDM), and so much more. The use of sound sampling has also enabled musicians to…

the show as well. The third category in which the title sequence of the 12th doctor which will be analyzed is the music played during the opening. The music score has that familiar sci-fi feeling attached to it, using various instruments like synthesizers, bells, strings, and effects. The music playing during the title sequence is also presumably the doctor’s main theme. Upon further research, according to IMDb, Murray Gold is the music score and theme composer for Dr.…
