I have chosen to compare a recorded version and a live version of the song “Scar Tissue”, by a group named Red Hot Chili Peppers. I will be discussing the elements of music and comparing the live version to the recorded version of “Scar Tissue”.…
When listening to music there are four main elements that the listener should become familiar with. These elements are rhythm, melody, harmony, and tone color. These factors along with the creation of structure and musical texture make up the music that we listen to on a day to day basis. Without these musical features music would not be as complex and dynamic as it has grown to be. Depending on how they are arranged and utilized determines what we take away for music after we have listened to it. What we bring to the music is a significant factor as well. Considering all of these components, how we listen to music and how we should listen to music are distinctively different.…
Firstly, I want to clarify what aspect of emotion I am going to investigate by differentiating a feeling of sense of wonder or awe about a piece of music or a performance because of its musical prowess from the intense emotion or connection one can feel through listening to music in an unanalysed way (that is, allowing yourself to become immersed in the sound as a whole): I am going to focus on the latter of these for the following reasons:…
There is definitely a difference between seeing a live performance and listening to it on the radio or on a compact disc. Listening to live music is definitely a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night. I went to a jazz concert at the Bluebird. It was a beautiful experience. I thought it was a throw back to the days where television was in black and white. It was a very intimate setting between the band and the audience.…
Viole du Premier Livre (1686) and a Pop group name R.E.M and there last concert at the BBC. I have chosen R.E.M because their music is based off of the Baroque era with a modern day flare. After listen to both pieces, I was touched by the Baroque era music. I enjoyed both concerts, but I think I enjoyed the Pop concert more than the Baroque concert. The Pop concert of course had more rhythm and the difference in instruments made a difference to me. The drums where the biggest difference, had my foot tapping and my head bobbing, and the Baroque concert had me in a state of relaxation and peace of mind.…
As it stand right now, vinyl record quality is better than CD's when analog is compared side-by-side, but the world it not going back to vinyl because there were definitely some major disadvantages to music records. These included the size, non-portability, and the delicate nature of the records. In addition, the industry will continue to make advances with the way in which is converts digital recordings to the CD or DVD's, which ultimately will make the sound quality as good or better than record…
Rather than a summation of the readings 'The role of the body in the production and perception of solo vocal performance: A case study of Annie Lennox' by Jane Davidson and 'On Performativity and production in Madonna's 'Music'' by Stan Hawkins, I would prefer to highlight the points which provoked me to think of musical performances I have enjoyed, not enjoyed, or been challenged by. By utilizing previous experiences of musical performances and applying them to the material covered in the readings, I was able to gauge with greater ease what the writers were saying as well as question some issues raised.…

Not only for movies, but music independently is a form of entertainment. Concerts are a form of musical entertainment where people can listen to their favorite artist or band live. Many people spend lots of money to see their favorite artists live just like how they would spend money to see their favorite actress or actor in a…

Many issues lie cooncering todays music. Parents complane about song lyrics and the message the song sends out to the youngsters of Americas society. Parents try to stop rappers like Eminem, Jay-z, and Ja Rule from curropting the minds of children. They say its gives them (children) ideas about drugs and crimes being that they are seeing there idols on tv rap about it. But on question i ask myself is are the parents right or are the rappers rapping the truth. I believe that it is the parents responsability to look after their children to guide them and to stay on top of what they are doing no matter what. Rappers like Eminem have stated this. In Eminems song "i am" he says "they blame it on Marylin and the heroin, but where were the parents". I belive he is correct in everyway. I belive that the parents are getting upset due to the fact that because they are not doing there job which is raising kids the tv is doing it for them.Other rappers such as the former Tupac Shakur always spoke the harsh truth about life and the future. Because of this parents became alarmed that their children would grow up to deal drugs and perform illegal operations, just because a rapper finally expressed how hard life is. If a parent does not want their children to listen to rap music then they should watch them and take responsibility for them instead of blaming it on someone else. Mabye just mabye when the parents start to do that all the shoot outs in school will stop and the truth wont have to come…
the music as opposed to the performance. This appears to turn the entire idea of authenticity on its head. It can now be reasoned that musical recordings that are artificially enriched present the most authentic being of the music, and that performances are challenges to recapture that authenticity.…
Throughout the history of time, music has changed, grown, and developed into many unique and different genres and broken off into many interesting directions. Among one of these rather recent and distinct groups comes the genre of psychedelic rock portrayed by groups like Dr. Dog and Wilco. Psychedelic rock is considered controversial simply because of its origin and the habits it produces, encourages, and signifies in present day culture.…
