Music was the one thing that all classes could enjoy, royals, nobles, women, slaves, anyone could listen to music being played out on the streets. Music was used in cathedrals and abbeys, dances and was even part of poetry. Most of the poetry from the Medieval Period known today were sung in front of crowds during events and festivals. Vocal music was very important in churches and worshipping. Back in the medieval time, there weren’t any radios, so all of the music was played live. Festivals, celebrations and the holiday season were very popular times for music. During an important holiday, Mayday, the dancers danced to high

Nowadays classical music, including music from the canon, is used in a huge number of ways by people in modern culture; music is emotional underscoring, it is a field of force/perfume like an atmosphere, it is medicine, to alter your mood like a drug, it is also a key to mysteries of nature. (Robert Fink) Mostly William Tell Overture and ‘Largo al Factotum’ from Barber have primarily been used for chase/excitement sequences (Tell) or comedy (Barber). For example “The Rabbit of Seville” performed by Bugs Bunny in 1950 in the famous cartoon Looney Tunes.

Chinatown is a small, tightknit community mostly made of Asian citizens to live, represent, and preserve their Asian culture in Philadelphia. In Chinatown, many different food shops, from bakeries to restaurants, are setup around almost every single corner that attract many people from any ethnicity or age. As of today, Chinatown still has many aspects of Chinese culture such as the gigantic friendship gate and numerous symbols of the word prosperity in traditional Chinese scattered throughout the interior designs. However, a group of representatives, or the government, have wanted to degrade this historical and traditional community with obscenity and pointless change. The government is constantly suppressing the Chinatown citizens with many

Since the beginning of time there has always been music in the world. The Native Americans had their tribal music, which was used for healing, ceremonies, and ancient rituals. Ever since the beginning of the 20th century there has been rock and roll. Rock and roll has changed drastically over the years. In my opinion, it is possibly one of the most important genres there is.

Plato once said, “Music Gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Music has touched the human soul since the dawn of time. In the Bible times, music was directly related to the worship of God. For example, David the Psalms talks about dancing and music to praise God with the “lute, and cymbal”. Music, like much of everything else, has been affected due to the fall. Music was still mostly used for worship and praise of God until the early 1800’s. Between the 16th and 18th Century the classical genera of music evolved greatly. Bach, Mozart, and Vivaldi all wrote music within the classical genera, but within different eras of classical music.

On the peak of the highest mountain in the Himalayas, the goddesses and gods had gathered from across the globe to make a monumental decision. Music, in all its aspects, had been known to the immortals for millennia, but humans had not yet become acquainted with it. The question had arisen of whether the mortals should be allowed to get a taste of such a heavenly delight. Thoth, the Egyptian God of Wisdom, had been asked to arbitrate the meeting: “This discussion is now open to anyone who would like to express an opinion.”

While music has kept a steady definition through time, modern music has been re-invented and re-made to be distant from that of an older age. Music has always been around, just remixed as time goes on. We know that it has been around for a while because geologists have found cave paintings dating back to prehistoric ages where they are depicting people dancing, proving to a presence of some interpretation of music. Music was

In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle describes “friendship” as being good in nature. In order for individuals to be friends, they need to be sympathetic towards one another and consider each other’s needs. Moreover, friendship is a necessary part of one’s emotional state. No matter how many material goods you possess, living without some sort of companionship will make you unhappy. Although Aristotle claims that a happy person needs friends, he distinguishes the concept of friendship based on three reasons: usefulness, pleasure, and virtue.

Telecommuting can be great for organizations but there are also some disadvantages and challenges in offering telecommuting.  According to (Martochhio, 2013), Telecommuting programs may also lead to disadvantages for employers and employees.  Some employers are concerned about not having direct contact with employees, which makes conducting performance appraisals more difficult.  Some employees also feel isolated because they do not personally interact as often with coworkers and superiors. Some organizations may feel unsure about allowing employees working at home, because when you have internet or computer issues, getting your system back up and running efficiently and effectively can be an issue. There can be a lot of wasted time trying to get your system back up and running and this can ultimately cost the company time and money.  MedEx employs over 100 medical billing specialist, therefore, it is important for all of their employees systems to be up and operating at all times.

So whilst some parts of the world stayed traditionalist, other parts were taking music to the next step. Western cultures have used music for almost every aspect of life. Music was used for entertainment, religion, war cries and important ceremonies. Some countries have unfortunately lost their culture and heritage thanks to more developed countries trying to expand their empires. A good example of this is when the indigenous Mexican people were murdered in their homeland by the invading Spanish – and replaced the traditional drums and flutes with more vibrant shakers and trumpets. It is no doubt that the way upper countries have acted has greatly affected the distribution of music worldwide.

The purpose of this paper is to simply explore the world music aspects of the song “Jai-Ho” a piece that combines music styles from around the world containing Western and non-Western musical aspects. The reason I chose this song as my topic is because it is a popular song in America although it does contain many different cultural influences. Growing up I have been exposed to Rap, R&B, and Pop music, sometimes even a combination of all three. This music is what I prefer the most out of the vast majority of labels given to describe songs’ musical aspects. About seven years ago, I remember hearing the song “Jai-Ho” coming from the speakers of my television as my dad watched the movie “Slum Dog Millionaire” I remember the fast pace rhythm, the

Music plays a significant rule in our lives. It’s a melody and rhythm we live in. It plays a very essential rule in our day to day to life when it comes to expressing feelings, passing time and for other uses as well. Though we in general may not think about how music has changed so much in the past few decades we must acknowledge the fact todays music is the outcome of the various change in the past. Today’s majority of music we hear is what we define as more as a “westernized” music. Considering other cultures in the world, a huge impact of western music is seen within them. Westernization and modernization are two different words with different meanings and they have two different impacts on a society. Modernization is used to define the improvements and show a progressive transition from one stage to another. Westernization is the concept of being influenced by the customs and techniques of the western society and reflecting them in a non-western culture. This essay will discuss furtherly about the impact of the western society on music cultures of North India and Korea by looking from both the positive and negative point of this impact.
