Rock Around The Clock By Bill Haley And His Comets

During the age of instruments, people have been interested in the musical tones that others have made. the music that was made over the years has develop into a major part in our society. the music ill be explaining will be nickelback “animals”, joseph heisenberg's “ave maria”, pink “so what” beatbox “everybody dance now”. Each one of these are expressing an emotional boundary that relates in each category. these songs are very interesting to listen too and their fun for almost the whole entire family. Each artists has their own genre that express their own music talents. Be warned that theses songs are my way of expressing my feeling, so be warned that it might not suit the audiences.

I had a difficult time choosing a song to accompany my dance with. At first, I created my choreography to go with a Dubstep song, but I thought the song I chose did not compliment the story I was trying to represent. I decided to change my song last minute after already finishing the choreography. By doing so, this created an obstacle for me to continue with my choreography. I searched for a song that had a gloomy attitude, as well as an uplifting beat towards the end. I managed to find a song that better fits my choreography; the song is legato but still has various tones to it. After choosing a new song, I could continue with revising my dance and begin marking it to my new song. The contrast between the piano and violin in my song provided a good dynamic to work off of. In other words, the violin’s addition to the song gave a serious tone whereas the piano’s addition gave a soft, delicate dynamic. Because of this, I was inspired to represent the “death” alongside the violin’s rhythmic tone, whilst I took advantage of the piano to represent the “rebirth”.

For my song analysis I chose a piece for a musical which is called Next to Normal. The song in the musical is called Superboy and the Invisible Girl. The musical features an average American family trying to hold itself together. The dad goes to work, the daughter, Natalie is a genius, but the mother, Diana, struggles with bipolar disorder and hallucinations. Their son Gabe, died as an infant, but the mother has been hallucinating him, growing up with the rest of the family as if he never died. So Gabe, in a strange way, is actually one of the main characters. This is a key song in the storyline because it is the first time that Natalie attempts to express her true feelings.

Johnny Cash “Get Rhythm” sings of optimism while coping with the dullness of his job. Rock and roll music was immediately associated with rebellion and this attitude began to reflect onto the lyrics. “C’mon Everybody” by Eddie Cochran captured the attitude of teenagers of throwing parties when “the folks are gone”. They were able to connect immediately to the music with themes such as high school experiences and relationships present in songs. An example of this would be Chuck Berry

For somebody who is not invested in artistic outlets, I absolutely love music. I like all kinds of music, from country to rap to today’s hits and Billboard’s Top 40. However, the only genre I will never grow tired of, and the one I have loved since a young age, is classic rock. There are a few classic rock songs that I relate so strongly to, and at times I could swear they were written just for me. No song reflects how I have felt more about my senior year though, than “Eclipse” by the band Pink Floyd. Senior year is a transitional part of my life, and it cannot be described in just one definite way. To reflect this, I selected a song that has no definite meaning.

The Doctrine of ethos is a powerful tool used throughout time to influence a mass quantity of people about particular ideas, emotions, or social issues. These ideas can be expressed in a multitude of ways to convey a particular message to the observer. In this case, we are focusing on the effects of music as it applies to human beings and their ability to understand the message implied to them and the effect this may cause on them. I chose to focus my selection on a particular time frame, the civil rights movement, as this would be a crucial time where people were looking fro inspiration and morale to fight for a cause. My song choice is “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free” by Nina Simone and written by Billy Taylor ad Richard Caroll Lamb. I believe

Linda Riley's "Up Against the Clock" does illustrate the difficulties one can face with time management in college.  Riley thinks that college is just as easy or even easier than high school.  Many people who have a full-time job and have extracurricular activities in college do make scheduling more difficult.  However, Riley does not mention in her essay that she has a full time job aside from taking college classes.  She does, however, tell the reader how one can manage his or her time better with a side job because the essay mentions that her friend has a side job.  She does try to change her schedule after a month of college, but it does not work out for her.  Therefore,  she receives guidance from her friend, Jennifer, in order to correct

Hollywood and the film industry represent Native Americans in classic movies as savages. In the documentary, "Reel Injun", Neil Diamond goes into how Native Americans are only portrayed as barbarians. This is vastly different from how Native Americans are portrayed in the documentary, "The Shackles of Tradition". This essay will compare and contrast Reel Injun, The Shackles of Tradition, and other movies that portray Native Americans. The basic characteristics that are portrayed, strengths and weaknesses of ethnographic portraits, and the positive & negative impacts this has on Native American culture.

I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember. I sing, play the clarinet in the band and I am learning to play the piano. I am a section leader in choir and band, and I have a lot of knowledge about music theory and choral music. Music is a big part of who I am, and that is why I chose this topic as my project. I also plan to pursue this as a career in the near future, and I feel that this project will help me to prepare for the many requirements this career holds.

Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy is the last song on their fifth album Save Rock and Roll. Featuring Elton John, an influential person in the rock, pop rock and glam rock hemisphere, Save Rock and Roll can be considered a “rock ballad” because of the presence of a piano and violin as well as the basic rock instruments such as both the bass and rhythm guitars and drums. Played in the key of E major with a tempo of four beats per measure this song’s texture, form, and sound strongly aids in the message of saving rock and roll.

On the 20th of June I went to the Beachaven Winery for Jazz on the lawn to watch Rick Stone’s Dance Band. Rick Stone’s Dance Band was a 1960’s band that played tunes such as “I will be there” to “Black Magic Woman”. The music of the 60’s was the type of music that took America by storm. Before I can talk about my experience I have to explain the type of music of the era. Popular Music Genres of the 1960’s was the British Invasion, Motown/R&B, Surf Rock/Psychedelic Rock, Roots Rock/Hard Rock, Folk Rock/Protest Music, and Acapella.

1. Louis Armstrong is credited in the book titled Jazz as the “single most important figure in the development of jazz.” He is known as the only major figure in Western musical history to have a profound influence as a singer and an instrumentalist. His defining qualities as a performer were the emotion, beauty, and technical mastery he brought to each performance, and he knew how to please an audience. Performing jazz was a personal and powerful experience to him, and it was communicated effectively to his audience. Duke Ellington is quoted as calling him a “truly good and original man,” and his contributions to jazz music reflect that statement.

Big Sky by A. B. Guthrie is written in a romanticized style indicative of a great classical novel. It is surly, rough, and vicious, but also adventurous, beautiful, and most of all, true to its own time. Guthrie does a splendid job incorporating the people, places, and dynamics of the time period. While this book maybe a nice piece literary work, I would be perfectly happy never reading it again.

It is my first time to write a digital essay, I really enjoy using pictures to give audiences more precise scenarios about my story. It can give audiences more information about my experiences than the simple written composition. Pictures will expand audience’s imagination and make the story more active. Moreover, the background music also plays an important role, which leads and strengthens audience’s emotion. I really involved in people’s music when I was watching other videos. Even if I did not experience the similar events, but the music drew my echo when I was seeing their struggles, difficulties and joys. This amazing reactive pushed me to spend a lot of time deciding the background music. I want to choose a complete song to accompany with my experience. However, it is really hard to find a matched song, which not only needs to suit my story but also needs to suit my speech length. According to those requirements, I had tried many songs before I decided the final one. At the same time, I needed to edit my speech length in order to catch the music. On the other side, corresponding photos are also a serious problem. I did not left any relevantly photos about my story because the experience had happened seven years ago. I am not a person who prefers to take photos all the time. Despite that the experience is important for me, I did not realize its importance after many years when it had happened. Due to that reason, I struggled to

One cannot think of the 1960s and the 1970s without thinking of Vietnam and the social movements that went along with it. Perhaps one of the most tumultuous times in American history, the early latter half of the 20th century saw the Baby Boomer Generation, the Vietnam War, the Sexual Revolution, the Civil Rights movement, and a sharp divide between urban and rural communities as well as between citizens and politicians. These developments led to the death of innocence in American life, and the development of a new social consciousness among young people.
