Rite Of Spring Major Part
1,791 words
An introduction to 'The Rite of Spring', The part
I of the Rite of Spring starts with an "
introduction ." The texture at the very beginning
is extremely thin, and the only instrument in use
is the bassoon, in an unusually high tessitura.
The bassoon is soon joined by the Horn, and later,
a pair of clarinets. This little wind ensemble
creates an eerie feeling, and the fact that tempo
rubato is employed makes the whole start very
unstable, as if the 'grand work' has just had a
bad kick-off. Howev...

Jimi Hendrix Grateful Dead

lot of musicians that were under the influence of
drugs. They used drugs as their inspiration. Many
songs had themes related to being high or stoned.

them. This all ...

Trance is usually achieved at communal rituals,
with plenty of loud music and dancing. The
specifics the costumes, music, and dance vary from
culture to culture, but the pattern underneath is
identical: loud music and vigorous dancing lead to
a state of over stimulation that can produce a
form of egoless ness that is the ground for any
sacred exploration. Mickey Hart (Hart, 119) Two
types of music cultures today use community,
music, and drugs to achieve a state of trance that

Sharp Or Flat Sung Or Played Clef
668 words
For a very long time music was not written down.
It was sung or played from memory. As it was
passed on from person to person, many changes
crept into the tunes. A way of writing music down
was needed so that it would be sung or played
exactly as it had been composed. The name for
written music that man developed is notation. The
system of musical notation generally used today is
the result of centuries of development- from about
the end of the ninth century to the early 1700 's.
