Seulgi: Music Analysis

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.

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.

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 piece included a synthesizer and later on, a computer. Digital art was included in the performance. There seems to be very few components, but there was a very diverse amount of sounds performed.

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.

Music has changed a lot over the years, but in a good way or a bad way? That’s what this paper will help you decide. I will be sharing with you how music has changed from 1965 to 2015. I will help you see the change by each decade (for example: in 1985(1985 to 1995)….). The different topics to help you see the change throughout the years are: the main topics of the most popular songs, most used words, types of artists (male, female groups etc.) and then I will sum up 1965 and 2015. I hope you enjoy this paper and I hope I help your thinking process on the changes of music.

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.

In 2014, an extremely catchy throwback to the doo-wop days called “All About That Bass” came out. The track was so refreshing when I first heard it. I remember seeing Trainor in the pastel-filled music video with some simple choreography and a message for women to embrace every inch of their body and be confident. Not only did I hear the meaning behind Trainor’s playful lyrics, the extremely catchy song spread like wildfire when it hit the radio topping national charts from over 50 countries internationally. Even though Trainor is only 21 (20 when “All About That Bass” came out) and new to being on the performing side of the music biz, her ability to craft songs that will sway what’s popular in music, makes her an artist to watch. On January 13th, 2015 Meghan Trainor will be

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.

“Why would Ichi do something like this?!” Jyushimatsu started to cry, Choromatsu’s heart sank, he wished he wouldn’t have to tell Jyushimatsu so he can remain his happy self, but he felt that this was the right thing to do. He couldn’t keep this a secret anymore.

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.

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.
