    Stories And Songs From 1965-1972: Song Analysis

    One Vietnam story I found interesting is from a Vietnam Veteran himself. His name was Allen J. Adrian, Sioux Falls, SD. He describes to us how he voluntarily signed up for the U.S Marine Corps. Once he was in his training camp he said he would regret being there. He would ask himself questions on why did he do it and how can he get out of it. He said that once he accepted the fact that he had to stay, he adjusted to the changes and feelings. He uses the Vietnam War more of a positive experience rather than a bad one, one that he will never forget.…

    Bob James: Song Analysis

    Every song tells its own unique story; however the stories they tell are often up to interpretation. Bob James, the creator of the song Orpheus, wrote the song based on his interpretation of the myth. The music of Bob James continued to evolve and captivate audiences thought the world. Discovered by Quincy Jones at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival in 1963, Bob recorded his first solo album, Bold Conceptions, that year for Mercury Records. 36 more solo albums would follow through four decades; that number is just to date and does not include his Grammy award winning collaboration projects (bobjames.com). In 1985 Bob moved to Warner Bros Records and began that association with another million sellers and Grammy winner, Double Vision, his collaboration with David Sanborn, produced by Tommy LiPuma. It was in 1990 while recording his Grand Piano Canyon album that Bob reunited with his old friend, drummer Harvey Mason, Jr. and worked for the first time with…

    Personal Narrative: The Ukule Anthem By Amanda Palmer

    I ordered the cheapest ukulele on I could find on Amazon and waited for it to arrive. I tracked the order multiple times a day and binge-watched ukulele tutorials on YouTube. I soaked up all of the information I could find about ukuleles, from brands to chords to strumming techniques. I wanted to be able to play a song right out of the box. When it arrived, I tore open the package and took the brick-red, black-stringed plastic instrument out. Instead of starting with easy to play songs, I tuned it up and I dove in, challenging myself to play difficult songs with quick chord changes and difficult finger positioning. The first song I ever played in full was “The Ukulele Anthem” by Amanda Palmer. I played until my suffering fingers turned bright…

    After you left me all I was left with is shock and great grief I lost you, best friend. I just seem to can’t take in the fact that you left me all alone in this cold hard world and you are not by my side anymore. After you made become a walking zombie. I was too sad and depressed to eat or sleep; or even function right. You were my other half, my twin, but most importantly we were more then sisters.

    Essay On 1920s Music

    Throughout the past few decades, our music taste, along with our society, has developed into an expressive community. People of all ages have been using music to express themselves for thousands of years. The 1920s, as well as 2000s are prominently known for their groundbreaking new sound. The two were ferociously popular in their time, but how can two genres, each with a different sound, be so popular? The purpose of the composer, instruments used and the sound produce, are vastly different between the two. However, though time changes, some things remain the same.…

    Beatles Research Paper

    Featured on the second side of the “Revolver” album, the Beatles’ song “For No One” is an expressive, deeply poignant ballad written and performed by Paul McCartney that in a sense encompasses the theme of a love song gone wrong. However, there was no rush to record “For No One” nor was there considerable publicity praise for this simply crafted song. Thus, “For No One” truly fits its brooding motif about dismal one-sided lost love that signifies the clear end of a relationship. “For No One” in terms of composer/performer play is primarily atypical of the Beatles’ past songs in that the song features solely Paul McCartney’s voice and lacks thick instrumental texture in the background and a strong line of melody. With such focus on Paul’s amplified voice, he is able to speak to us subliminally by conveying his deepest internal thoughts about lingering on to such futile hope when in reality, the woman he loves no longer needs him. Consequently, the striking emotional impact this deceptively simple song provides for the listener stems from the way it defies the standards of typical Beatles’ song and instead expresses its theme of fruitless hope with elements of performer play such as a flat melody and Paul’s isolated voice internalizing his deepest, conflicted feelings of futile despair and animosity.…

    Personal Narrative: Pre-Glee Music

    Grew up in the 70s, so never got the Beatles phenomenon, the invasion, the crazy teenagers, and all that. Still don’t. Strangely though I know most of their tunes and some lyrics, the beginning part anyway. Since I was living through all these events- Vietnam war, riots, protests, etc – in unintended development oblivion (I was too young), I could only take the film at face value, i.e., lack of emotional association. Having said that, for me, this is just a longer version of a pre-Glee musical.…

    The Beatles Research Paper

    Paul McCartney and Lennon met in July of 1957, and McCartney soon became the guitarist for the band. In February of 1958, McCartney invited his friend George Harrison to watch the group. He ended up auditioning for the band. Lennon was impressed by Harrison but he thought he was too young for the band because he was only fourteen years old at the time. After much persistence, Lennon gave in and allowed Harrison to become the lead guitarist. In 1959, John Lennon’s friends had left the group while he started his studies at the Liverpool College of Art. Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison then became “Johnny and the Moondogs” and played whenever they could find a drummer. Lennon’s friend from college, Stu Sutcliffe, joined the band and suggested they change the band name to “The Beetles”. They became a tribute band to Buddy Holly and The Crickets. According to Mark Lewishon, a Beatles expert, they used the name “Beatals” through the month of May, then became “The Silver Beetles”, then changed their name to “The Silver Beatles” before finally settling on “The Beatles” in August of…

    Music Appreciation Notes

    Mozart's music, like Haydn's, stands as an archetype of the Classical style. At the time he began composing, European music was dominated by the style galant, a reaction against the highly evolved intricacy of the Baroque. Progressively, and in large part at the hands of Mozart himself, the contrapuntal complexities of the late Baroque emerged once more, moderated and disciplined by new forms, and adapted to a new aesthetic and social milieu. Mozart was a versatile composer, and wrote in every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata. These forms were not new, but Mozart advanced their technical sophistication and emotional reach. He almost single-handedly developed and popularized the Classical piano concerto. He wrote a great deal of religious music, including large-scale masses, as well as dances, divertimenti, serenades, and other forms of light entertainment.…

    The 1980s Music Report

    In 1981 MTV "Music Television" was introduced on cable television and revolutionized rock marketing. Just as FM radio had superseded the hit-oriented AM format, music videos, produced as mini-movie advertisements for songs, became essential to a performer's popularity. Early in the decade, the British group the Police was one of the first to combine a progressive sound with polished videos. The expense of producing videos and MTV's virtual monopoly made it difficult for experimental music to compete with the dance-pop sung by American artists like Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and Madonna, and the British groups Duran Duran and Depeche Mode. Nevertheless, performers such as the Irish group U2 and the American group R.E.M. emerged from their underground roots to enjoy enormous success. Now a few of the new genres of the 80's.…

    Music Appreciation Paper Essay Example

    Every musical needs two things script and music, the musical that I saw at the civic center “A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum.” It is witty characters and humorous songs made it a delight to see and you left with a smile. The music was the best out of the whole play. The orchestra was small having a piano, two violins, bass guitar, reed one and two, trumpet one and two, trombone, and percussion each instrument being a big part of production. The play starts with a song “comedy to night” giving a background in the streets of ancient Rome of three houses. The center of the house Senex who lives there with his wife Domina, son Hero, and the many slaves them owned. Hero has his own slave Pseudolus who is the main character and head slave Hysteria. One of the other neighbors is owned my Marcus Lycus, the house is a whorehouse. The other neighbor is Erronius who has been gone for many years trying to find his children who were abducted my pirates. Thing singer who plays Pseudolus tone was raspy, pitch high, two beats, and tempo allegro the music flowed well and pulling the audience in quickly with it being very humorous. I thought the texture was monophonic being only one person singing the song and form being AB. The song ends giving a summary of the whole play, and it goes on to the next song. Hero the son of Senex has fallen in love with a girl who he has never spoken too. He starts to sing “love, I hear” his tone was rich, pitch was high, dynamic was mezzo forte, the tempo of the song was allegro it was a lovely song that expressed his love for a girl he has never spoken to. The song had two beats with the texture of the music monophonic because it was only one person singing it. After he ends he tells his slave Pseudolus if you get me that girl. I will let you be free and Pseudolus is so shocked that he cannot believe it and starts to sing “free” his texture is very raspy, with tempo vivace, and dynamics Mezzo Piano. The pitch is high and form verse…
