I listen to music to enjoy the way it sounds. I listen to escape the daily annoyances and stresses of life and I also listen to music in an analytical way when I DJ. All three examples here target the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. Now, some may say that listening does not fall into these planes at all, or that there are more planes to listening than the ones listed above. The argument is not about whether or not there
The song Now in Our Lives is more relaxed and romantic compared to his other quick, strong be-bop songs. The majority of the song consists of low, sluggish melodies. However, there are many parts throughout the song that have many fast notes played. There are quite a few changes in rhythm throughout the piece which stimulates the piece. There’s a nice piano, bass and drum accompaniment that help to establish the laid-back feel of the music.
I already did most of these consistently in the day so I was excited to analyze and see which one works out the best for me. I first chose to do music. I usually do this everyday anyways but to connect it with stress was fascinating. Listening to music can actually slow our heart rate and lower blood pressure, and can even decrease our stress hormones. I noticed I began to focus on the lyrics and for those moments I actually dozed off of what was actually going on in my life.
I too am of mixed race and I love to play the guitar, even though I may not be very good at it. I find inspiration in Jimi’s perseverance and his ability to break down barriers. Drugs and addiction is something that has taken way too many talented people away from us far too early. The one thing that we all have to remember is that we are all humans and flawed. We must celebrate each others accomplishments and not try and tear one another down for making choices that we simply do not
He always just seemed interested and worried about getting into his music to make sure his music deals were set and his shows were all ready on the road to success. Although, Bob Dylan did end up coming pretty close with some of his workers. For example, George Harrison became good friends. “Bob Dylan never really seemed to play the same song in the same way.” Every time Dylan would play a song either in public or in the recording room, he would some how change the melody or adjust the tune. He also switched some of the lyrics around, or added a few more notes.
The music was generally fast and the sound was very brassy to me. The purpose of the songs they were playing seem to be expressing a mood to me, as if the audience should be very awake and alert. It was not calming at all but I'm not sure it was supposed to be! I would say that the overall unifying principle of the entire concert is the range in melody. The choir put a spin on the way I ever looked at lyrics but the melody that they created was both high and low, they just stayed in harmony even when they weren't all singing at one and it was guys vs girls.
Groovy, funky, and upbeat, all of these songs were very catchy and definitely made you want to nod your head and tap your feet. The band closed with a jam called Soul Sold Seperately, a slow jam that really slowed the pace of the concert and the pace of the night. An intro of the keyboard led way to the
The rhythm and tempo become over the top and in my opinion, it goes from amazing piano work to what seems to just be noise. The Island track wasn’t so bad and I really enjoyed the overall texture of this song. His music again becomes far too erratic when the Rubric track begins to play and I just couldn’t get into it. Even though I didn’t much like this selection, I can appreciate the work and dedication it takes to compose this
There is not one kind of music that I do not like. I love each and every one of the music generations out there. It may have taken me some time to get use to liking them but eventually I did and I wouldn’t change my love of music for anything. It honestly gets me through my rough days and helps me stay concentrated. My kids love music just as much as I do and they can sing just about any country song that comes on the radio.
Hope Song What can be more appealing to our ears than the sound of nature or simply, silence? What a great man he was, a man who made me realize how appeasing it is to be captivated by the sound created by the nature and the people. He has taught me in four minutes and thirty-three seconds that I can appreciate any form of sound and transcribe it to my own “music.” I was solicitous. Solicitous, because a side of me feared that I would be disappointed to find out how “amazing” the orchestra was. Ever since I learned to play instruments and was a part of numerous instrumental ensembles, I have been waiting to listen to the National Symphony Orchestra perform at the Kennedy Center.
