Pythagoras had viewed music as a science and believed that all could be understood through equations and ratios. In fact, a pythagorean dream would be to reduce the whole understanding of the world to number. But, despite Pythagoras, some philosophers and musicians’ views might differ. In the 20th century, a series of musicians experimented with thoughts of what music was. Of the many, Theodor Adorno, Milton Babbitt, and Glenn Gould all express influential thoughts on the subject in differing ways

Live Music Experience Paper When a genre of music becomes mainstream, its creation is no longer dictated by art and the need to create art, but instead, for commercial gain. Thus the music loses its originality, it loses its authenticity, and worst of all it loses its culture, without culture, the music can be likened to a BLT sandwich without bacon, for no matter how skillfully prepared, it lacks an integral part of itself, and cannot possibly be whole. This is exactly the phenomenon I observed

performance. These foundational practices are what made each articulation and individual piece not only well-understood, but (and more importantly) consistent. Before a performance, the concert hall is a convivial atmosphere where patrons catch up and music students engage in discussing the inside scoop around campus, all unbeknownst of the (not so) subtle preparation taking place on stage; Monday night was no exception. Following the initial applaud, Gregory Sauer sat in his chair, positioned his Cello

Billy Joel, Nickelback, Fifty Shades of Grey and Other Causalities of Schlock Music Professor explores the social dynamic of taste-shaming in the digital age. In some form or another, we’ve all been exposed to musical taste shaming. If you’re a fan of the Eagles, Rush, Drake, or god help your soul, are passionate about the music of Nickelback, you’ve certainly received your share of barbs. As agents in what many have coined as “the age of hipsterism,” none of us are safe from the smug judgment

Strauss’ piece in the 20th century – some of the musical elements that they share transcend both time periods. The characteristics of music in the classical period had to do with the new view of human psychology. Mozart was one to introduce contrasting moods within movements or even within a theme. He was able to infuse strong contrasts of moods within the style of his music (Burkholder, Grout, & Palisca 475). In Figaro, Mozart includes an overture which is a piece in sonata form despite its lack of a

it was my first time in a punk/rock concert. I actually thought I would feel very uncomfortable and out of place, but not, it was a very friendly place, and all the people there were very nice and outgoing. It was a great experience and I like the music style. Since it was a small concert, I had the opportunity to talk to one of the members of the band, Josh. He was very friendly and approachable, I asked him some questions, and he didn’t have any problem responding them. Jaeng Band is a punk/ rock

Then at the age of only eleven, Debussy enrolled in the Paris Conservatory where he was able to express his musical talent and knowledge.

listen to secular music or be entertained by television shows? Music has always been a source of entertainment from the days of ole until today. Music is either spiritual or secular.

There are times when we listen to songs but often ignore the musical details associated with the songs. We simply enjoy the beats and the essence of the song and it becomes our favorite piece of music. I believe that it is very important to focus on the details of the song because it brings that piece of music to life. One of my all-time favorite singer is Michael Jackson, King of Pop.
