Music

I chose to attend a music recital which consisted of one brilliant piano player. The recital lineup consisted of music by three well known musicians which include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Frederic Chopin. I was pleased with the reemergence of the ten pieces of music. It provided me with knowledge of how music differed from century to century. Each of the three musicians came from different time periods and cultures. I was disappointed with the starting time of the performance

Music Review #2 Last Monday, October 17th, I had the privilege of seeing the performances of the University Repertoire Ensembles. They were live at the School of Music’s Malcolm Bird Recital Hall, and each ensemble played several jazz melodies that were very engaging and entertaining. The University Repertoire Ensembles included the Contemporary Ensemble (CE), the Hard Bop Ensemble (HBE), and the Brazilian Ensemble (BE). The CE performed the songs, “Have You Heard,” “Sail Away,” and “Got A Match

The Doctrine is still relevant today how for numerous reasons “Aristotle, in his politics explains the different kinds of music imitating specific

had music. We have used music to entertain each other, express emotions, and to enhance our religious beliefs. Human civilization evolves with new technologies and ideas and the same can be said about music too. Music has always been affected by what is happening all over the world. Music over time has been broken down into smaller eras of documented music. The first era of documented music is the Medieval Era and right now the world is in the Contemporary Era of music.

Absolute music is music simply for the sake of music. This means music with no attached program or meaning. One is brought to wonder about absolute music; can it be that instrumental music can really have meaning?

Can our minds truly add meaning to instruments with no predisposed purpose? All through our lives we hear music on the radio, loud pumping music blasting

through music, books, poetry, drawings, films, etc. I’ve tried them all. I’ve always been fascinated by other people's stories. I will always try to retell them myself.

It has brought together people, creating communities and sub-cultures, acting as a reflection of everything we have experienced and expressed as a race. However, the influence of technologies developed overtime has changed how we experience, ultimately changing culture and how we express ourselves through music.

This is especially true when someone from a more privileged class performs the art of the lower class. While completely replicating a certain style of music can often be seen as inauthentic, certain artists can easily perform
