Music as Art. My Favorite Music Style.

In 1960, Paul McCarthy, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, created a rock band in Liverpool named The Beatles, which without them knowing, would become the most successful and popular rock band in the 20th century. Popular enough that the group was the first group ever to perform at a sports arena because they needed a large enough space for all the people that bought the tickets.

Music was known for shaping the lives of the people during the 1950s and 1960s. Music was geared towards the youth, race, ethnicity, gender and class. “All Shook Up: How Rock ‘n’ Roll Changed America” by Altschuler, Glenn C, tells us the story of the birth of rock and roll during the concrete years of 1955 to 1965. Altschuler gives us a overview of how rock ‘n’ roll has an historical context. “ For two years the Times printed dozens of

Music has always affected the society in which the notes are played. Times of class contained dignified pieces pleasing to the ear while times of upheaval produced performers with a bit of an edge. The arrival of rock and roll in the 1950s, at a time often deemed as a decade of concerns, does not fit the long thought pattern. This class will delve into the arrival of rock and roll and the decade that did not know what to do with the new sound.

Attention Getter: What is music? Many people say that it’s a harmonious beautiful sound that is pleasing to the ear. According to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a nineteenth century poet and educator, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” Not only is music a type of communication but it’s also type art which many people fail to remember.

Rocket from the Tombs was considered, as stated by Alex Flood, “the original legendary underground rock band”, but they never recorded an album and only played for a few people (Flood 1). When they divided David Thomas and Peter Laughner formed a new band (Evans 758). Pere Ubu was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1975 (Evans 757).

The broadcast of rock 'n' roll through technology has made it viable for future genres to be recognized on larger stages. Starting in 1967, large concerts, that centered rock as the main event, became noticeable and one of these concerts was called Woodstock and it was located in Bethel, New York, in August of 1969 (“The Late 1960s”). The concert, Woodstock, is known as the largest, peaceful rock concert to this day (“The Late 1960s”). Besides the incredible success on stage that rock 'n' roll has made, the technology progressed even more in the 1980s and 1990s through recorded videos. Music videos became a frenzy during these decades. The videos became a main source of entertainment and advertisement, but when bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam entered the scene, music videos became not only a source of entertainment but as personal and political views on society and individuals (“The Late 1970s”). Rock 'n' roll and its mass communication have made many open paths for music categories and the individuals who followed the aid of technology towards their benefits. Relations with technology made rock 'n' roll probable in the lives of young

Rock music has come a long way since its development in the early 20th century. The genre, defined “as a merger between rhythm&blues and country” (Scaruffi, The History of Rock Music:1955-1966), started out more as an underground market, but ended up becoming a significant aspect of American popular music history. Rock-n-Roll music produce many legendary artists who will for ever be known as innovators of the genre. Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were some of the many artists in Rock-n-Roll who will always live on in their music.Many teenagers were also to identify it due to its rebellious nature their disapproval of the cold war. Towards the end of the 1950s, Rock-n-Roll was ending on a particularly bad note, with a brief decline:

Music is defined differently for each individual. It is the universal language that speaks to us all, but in different ways. It is one of the few genres that can instantly transport a person back to the past. Music is also an art of sound which expresses ideas, thoughts, and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. It is the design of giving structural form and rhythmic pattern to combinations of sounds produce instrumentally and vocally. To me, music brings a sense of calmness, happiness, and peacefulness. Music is the absolute bread of life because it feeds my soul.

Former Russian President Gorbachov, said in2004. “The Beatles music was simply not pop music. It was showing the youth of Russia a glimpse of another world; a free world. The Beatles were revered by Russian youth and was much more than just music” .He also said,” Before perestroika, it was difficult to stop a culture revolution in youth sparked by the Beatles.”(Perrya) He also went on to say that he also enjoyed some of the Beatles music.

The first hard rock and heavy metal music was produced by the rock group called Blue Cheer somewhere around 1967. Their music was angry and had a noticeably heavy beat.. At this time, the music of the Rolling Stones, too, became harder and angry, with a negative accent. Many other groups sprang up during this period. In truth, hard drugs, mixed with psychedelics were having an effect. The world was witnessing a new phenomenon: musical groups of young men - opening doors to the psychic world through the use of drugs - were using electrified instruments to bring in a new music that was harmful to the human psyche, destructive, and angry (2).

The definition of music is very different to many people. Some say that music is the arrangement of sound and silence. Others like myself say music is that and much more. Music is an aural form of art that is used to express emotion and touch the hearts of the listener through the use of phrasing, dynamics, style and tone color. Music is a very universal art form.

The literal meaning of the word 'music' according to any dictionary is: 'art of combining vocal or instrumental sounds in a harmonious or expressive way.' But music has a meaning which is far broader than this. Music is life. Music means Self-expansion and oneness. It is an art by itself. Art, in any of its forms, is generated by a person, or a group of talented yet usually ordinary people, that express, willingly or not, an opinion regarding present times. It is not a want; it is a need. If you try to imagine yourself without it, you are bound to feel incomplete. For many of us, it has become a necessity of our lives. Music has no boundaries.
