You are home alone. Silence does not match your
personality so you decide to turn on a music
station. You are listening to Latin music and you
move to the rhythm. You cannot avoid it. You are
dancing! The music has body and soul and it has
taken over you. You close your eyes and feel the
music that has moved your senses. While you listen
to the sounds you recognize some musical
instruments, but there is one unusual, and
splendid sound unknown to you. The sound is
vibrant and captivating. The ins...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Classical Style

The remarkable musician and composer by the name
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg,
Austria in 1756. At the early ages of three and
four, Wolfgang exhibited extraordinary powers of
music memory and ear-sophistication. Leopold
Mozart, Wolfgang's father, realized that his son
was a true musical prodigy. He also realized that
his best work wouldnt be his own, but in his sons
future as a musician and composer. At about the
age of three, Wolfgang spent hours at the piano
discovering con...

Miles Davis Great Britain

... he chords throughout this section are actually
the same as the opening, being D then C/A, because
it would mean that Davis is super-imposing the
sub-dominant chord of D over the top, but this
issue remains debatable. After this run Davis
returns for a few bars to the disjointed style
that we saw earlier. Davis returns to using the
flattened 13 ths that he used earlier, and also in
the run, but he also uses the 11 th extension, and
a natural 13 th, which is anticipating the 9 th
extension of ...

similar to the Classical era composers and the
Romantic era composers. In response to the
enjoyably of Ellington's music, I admit that
Ellington's music has melody in which patrons
danced to, but the dance-ability of the music is
not inherent but rather an inter...

... Paganini's artistry in composition and
performance were tinted by "rose-colored
memories." There is nothing "rose-colored" in the
genius of such contemporaries of Paganini as
Schubert, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Chopin, Schumann,
Berlioz and others, whose reports claim his total
mastery as a composer and genius as a performer in
absolute terms. It is important to understand
Paganini's music in the context of his cultural

Moulin Rouge Baz Luhrmann

Moulin Rouge! (2001) Moulin Rouge (2001) is
produced by Baz Luhrmann. This film won 2 Oscars
and another sixty five wins and eighty three
nominations. Stars: Nicole Kidman (Satine) and
Ewan McGregor (Christian). Although it is very
difficult to speak about musical, Moulin Rouge was
one of the few films that have made great
impression on me. Musical is, probably, one of the
most interesting genres of theatrical performance.
It is the most conditional genre. Musical demands

Music Business Question 1. The music publishing

as the industry has evolved the process that

melancholia or depression since the Elizabethan
era. To have the blues meant that you had a
depressed mood or felt things that werent going
your way. The American writer, Washington Irving
is credited with coining the term the blues. The
earlier (almost entirely Negro) history of the
blues musical tradition is traced through oral

Hip Hop Culture Hip Hop Music

Roughly fifteen years ago, the initial rumblings
of rap music were emanating from the streets of
New York City. Rap music is very much a product of
its urbanized, literacy-based environment, as can
be seen in the advanced technology necessary to
produce the music. Although the connection between
rap music and its modern roots is impossible to
ignore, raps dependence upon high technology is
often over-emphasized, eclipsing any opportunity
to connect rap culture to a time before the world

was born on February 24, 1685 in Halle, Germany.
One of the greatest composers of the late baroque
period (1700 - 50) and, during his lifetime,
perhaps the most internationally famous of all
musicians. Handel was born February 24, 1685, in
Halle, Germany, to a family of no musical
distinction. His own musical talent, however,
expressed itself so clearly that before his tenth
birthday he began to receive, from a local
organist, the only formal music...

Musical Composition Classical Period

The classical period (1750? 1810) 1750? 1810 is
what we call the classical period, and really any
music not composed in this era is not classical
music. Most of the well known classical composers

Beethoven who I have written about know. Here are
some short biographies of their lives. Franz Josef
Haydn (1732 - 1809) In Haydn? s life he wrote 108

Electronica Techno Schmechno: A Postmodern
Approach To Electronica In searching for a
properly post-modern style of music, it may be
better to look at the electronic music scene,
which began with house music in the early to
middle 80 s, rather than at hip-hop. It is true
that the hip-hop artist generally disappears into
the narrative of the music to the extent that many
of their lives are a direct reflection of what
they sing about: gang violence, drugs...
