It all started when Seulgi saw Joohyun at her eight grade for the first time. She was (forcedly, all thanks to Wendy) joining a Marching Band club at her school and got accepted immediately. Well, she is a music genius. The first time she was tested to play trumpet, she got it right after her instructor told her how to play it. Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do. Even her instructor surprised with her ability. Next, she was tested to play the percussion. Let’s just say that she was a master in percussion, and her instructor settled her down with ‘percussion leader’ and ‘main snare drum player’ as her title. Three months after her former instructor died from a car accident, her school hire 3 new instructors, and Joohyun is one of them. A new brass instructor who was 8 years and 2 months older than her. (Seulgi counted it). Being in her early teenage life she was, she couldn’t help having a crush on the brass instructor. Plus, being close to the brass instructor didn’t help either. All day mesmerized by Joohyun’s 3B. Brain, Beauty, Behaviour. Well, Seulgi …show more content…
That’s what you called Sol?! Are you guys fucking tone deaf?! We’ll do it from the beginning! I don’t wanna hear any pitchy tone from you again, Flugelhorn!” Joohyun was obviously mad at them. She sighs and stroked her hair to the back as she steps backward and gives a sign to the field commander to begin. Truth to be told, Joohyun wasn’t that bad. She’s actually a good instructor. Almost everyone in marching band loves her because of her motherly figure. One more reason why Seulgi can be that head over heels for Joohyun. But… Seulgi wasn’t that expressive with her feelings. Like right now. “Kang Seulgi?”, it was Joohyun, looking at Seulgi with concerned eyes. “Are you okay? You look red.” Joohyun said as her hand touch Seulgi’s left shoulder. It’s true that Seulgi fainted once during the practice because of over exhausted. That’s why Joohyun is so worried over her percussion

This melodious song was originally sung by Judy Garland as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz but in 1993 Israel Kamakawiwo’ole remade the song to the melody of Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World. Kamakawiwo’ole’s voice coupled with new lyrics create a masterpiece of a song. Listening to the lyrics makes me believe that everything will turn out ok, and dreams will come true. In “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Kamakawiwo’ole wants the listener to know that better times are coming, you might just have to look over the rainbow to find them.
From the Excerpt Q I have identified as Boogie Woogie, the elements that help me discovered that it was Boogie Woogie is that it strictly piano and that it was a much faster tempo. What reveals this songs as boogie woogie is that the main components of the style are a blues harmonic progression and an eight to the bar bass line. In this way a single pianist could serve as rhythm, accompaniment and melody.
I believe in music. The sound of a solo instrument, a band, a voice, or a combination of all three filling the ears with beauty, heard but not seen, is subjective as the concept of art itself. I believe in it because the message it can have and it’s ability to be broadcasted anywhere, or maybe because of the gears behind the music teach a lesson all by itself as well.
One specific thing that I found interesting with this chapter was the song lyrics Prince chose to include from the concert at Warehouse 21: “…and you could tell us all, it was just protocol, but we all know, you defended yourself for the first time”. It’s clear that these lyrics were pulled from the middle of a song, and she could have chosen any lyrics; are we really to believe that she just happened to like these lyrics the most? I believe that Prince chose to include these specific lyrics to foreshadow the ending, in a way. The ending, as I discussed, was Prince telling a cashier that she was a girl, and not a man, as he said. “It was just protocol” is meant to essentially be the reaction anyone would have to being misgendered; you simply
The era of Folie à Deux is a time Fall Out Boy fans will never forget. Filled with meaningful lyrics written by bassist Pete Wentz and appearances by Paris Hilton, it is an age underappreciated by the media, but an age appreciated by their audience before the two-year hiatus. Although the tracks weren’t hits in the Billboard Top 100 at the time, they are still relevant to the ones who were moved by them, even if it isn’t mainstream.

The songs I chose to listen to and write about are Sonny Williams “Saxophone Colossus”(Prestige) and Charles Mingus “Mingus Ah Um”(Colombia). Starting with the Charles Mingus, the band members that played “Mingus Ah Um” are Charles Mingus who played bass, Jimmy Knepper and Willie Dennis who both played tuba, John Handy who played alto and tenor saxophone also clarinet during “Pussy Cat Duos”. Shafi Hadi who played alto and tenor saxophone, Booker Ervin tenor saxophone, Horace Parlan who played piano and lastly Dannie Richmond who was on Drums.
On Houston’s radio station on 91.7, they play music of the classical genre. I was required to listen to three musical pieces and identify each and state which out of the three I preferred the best. All of these songs were splendid but I did enjoy one musical composition more than the rest I listened to.
Ever Since the rise of Communism, there has always been a tension between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. I chose the song “Burning Heart” by Survivor because of my understanding of the song, it takes the differences between the United States and the Soviet Union and reinforces the rivalry between the two nations at this time. There are many events that the song could possibly be talking about, but I chose two major events, The Miracle on Ice and The Space Race, that the Unites States “won” to show the patriotism of the song and possibly the inspiration that the song brought to its listeners.

Commercial Sephardic recording had already begun with a burst of activity between 1906 and 1913 in Eastern Europe, yet following the boom of World Music (including the popularization of Sephardic music), folk musical revival and a decisive technological evolution (cf. Kittler), the end of the first half of the twentieth century marked a momentous shift in Sepharadscape as regards repertoire, performance and commercial issues. Conspicuous examples of such process include Gloria Levy’s Ladino songs in Westernized folk style (e.g. Fel Shara) and the compilations Chants séphardis (Léon Algazi 1958) Chant Judéo-Espagnols (first, volume, Isaac Levy 1959) (Bresler 2012).
Throughout the school year in Music for the Masses I've enjoyed many units for a variety of reasons. Every unit carrying its own importance to me. Whether it was in film music when we were jamming to the music score since it was from our marching band show or listening to political advertisements to see how music affected the mood. There have been many moments this year in units that would make them stand out, however, my favorite unit would be music and science.
Music from all over the world presents a range of musical theories. Some of these are documented in writing whilst others are transmitted orally. Discuss and give examples with reference to both Western and non-Western music.
