 Abstract This essay is a discussion
of how the way jazz trumpeter Miles Davis changes his way of
improvising, looking at two pieces from different times. The solos in
the pieces were transcribed by myself and then analysed in detail. From
these analyses, several conclusions on the style of improvising were
drawn, and then the conclusions from the two pieces were compared. |
In an age of error the most
influential thing in a child and or a teenagers life is music. Whether
it be Reggae, Hip Hop, Gangster Rap, R&B, Oldies Rock, Latin, or
Heavy Metal it still has a way to overpower a persons mind no matter how
old they are. Right now pretty much everybody that I talk to when I am
on the Internet like Rap. |

An idea or way of life that we live
by, that’s culture, and culture affects us all no matter where we live
or what we do. We often live and work in these different cultures and we
don’t even realize it. Music is a huge factor in the way we are
affected by our culture. Hence the fact music is in all cultures even in
our own way of life. |
Music has been a powerful force
throughout history. Its power has affected all aspects of people’s
lives. The ideas and attitudes people have toward their country can
easily be seen in their music. While music in the early part of the
modern era (1400-1900) served to promote patriotism and nationalism,
music’s role in the late 20th century seems a reversal and has been a
deconstructive force challenging nationalistic feelings. |
Albums with explicit lyrics or
content started having black and white parental advisories on them in
1994. Are these labels
necessary? Is controversial music molding our society and causing
teenagers to turn to drugs? Is censorship necessary to protect the youth
of our nation. |
The Sixties were an exciting
revolutionary period of time with great social and technological change.
Some people called it the "decade of discontent” because of the race

Other people called it the decade of "peace, love, and harmony”. |
It's 4:00 pm
and you just got home from school. You turn on the radio only to hear
some media generated stuff banded together by some lame drum beats. This
is unfortunetly, the music of today. |
When you turn on the radio, you
listen to a song and you immediately have the choice on whether you like
or dislike it. It may be because of the rhythm, artist/singer, lyrics
or any other reason. In the Spanish-speaking community today, there is a
controversy on a specific type of songs played on predominantly Mexican
radio stations. |
This paper is about pantomime, about it's origin, it's people, how it has evolved, and how wonderful it is. |
Picasso was arguably the most
influential artist of the twentieth century. He had some degree of
influence in all styles of painting which were used during his time, and
was known and respected by almost every art enthusiast on the face of
the planet. Pablo Picasso, born Pablo Ruiz y Blasco, came into the world
on the 25th of October 1881 in the southern Spanish town of Malaga. |
That Andrew Serrano's painting Piss
Christ has caused an overwhelming amount of controversy and response is
undeniable. A search on The Age's Archives turned up no less than 72
articles related directly to Serrano's Piss Christ, mainly from the time
Serrano and the work visited Melbourne during 1997 and 1998. |
Before the portrayal of the human
body can be critiqued, you must understand the artist's culture. As man
evolved over centuries, his views of the body also transformed. Our tour
definitely showed the drastic changes in different cultures' art. Each
culture and era presents very distinct characteristics. |
Raku Ware was originally from Japan
in the town of Kyoto and was named after the Raku family during the 16th
Century. At this time, the Emperor Hideyoshi had conquered Korea and
the native potters immigrated to Japan bringing with them pottery
techniques and knowledge. |
The beginnings of rap are believed
to based on African rhythms which were used as a form of communication
by the native peoples. The lyrical component of rap music is thought to
have been greatly influenced by Cab Calloway with his repetitive chants
and scats, along with his call-and-response technique with the audience.

"When I first started rapping, me
and a couple brothers would all sit around my place freestyling while
someone beat boxed. I even used to tell all the girls that I was a poet.
They seemed to find it a little more touching than a rapper" (Prince
Paul, The Source 16) The lyrics of rappers are very similar to the words
of Black poets. It is argued as to wether or not rap is a viable form
of poetry. |
We’ve all seen them before. Maybe at
a bus stop, in our schools, or at the coffee shop. "They” look odd
enough to frighten a circus clown, but for some reason, they always
smile when you look their way. Perhaps it’s that their hair is the color
of the sunset or that their pants look like they could house a small
family. |
Raves are not just parties
surrounded by total chaos and no rules. They are a really great
experience. There is a whole culture surrounding raves. Have become a
way of life for some people, they have there own music. And even there
own way of thinking. We have a thriving rave culture, with a growing
population. |
Over the years I've seen many people
get addicted to the rave scene in many ways. Financially, Socially, and
Mentally. Raving in itself seems to be more addictive than the drugs
performed at them. Raves persuade people to become dependant on each
other. |
Studio technology has developed
drastically over the years and has become ever more vital to the record
producer within the music industry. Different producers make use of
studio technology in different ways, often depending on the style of
music that they are producing, their preferred method of production and
the band’s preference of sound. |

very different regions--Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt--the
Black Land as it was also called by the ancient Egyptians--with its
fertile soil strip along the Nile River makes up the northern part of

Each artist is an individual with a
unique style, and although these styles can be similar in practice – the
individuality of the artist often proves the discriminating factor for a
successful artwork. Self-portraits are beneficial when looking at the
individuality of the artist as there are two aspects to look at – the
artist’s style, and the artist’s view of him/herself. |
Sweeney Todd is by no means a
conventional musical; it takes several forms of music and theater and
artfully places them together. Sondheim very effectively transports the
audience back to Victorian England for a mad waltz with murder,
mayhem...and meat pies. He also utilizes his skill as a choral composer
to write some truly fascinating ensemble pieces accompanied by a very
intricate plot with many elements carefully layered. |
In searching for a properly
post-modern style of music, it may be better to look at the electronic
music scene, which began with house music in the early to middle 80s,
rather than at hip-hop. |
We have a corporeal body. It is a
physical entity, subject to all the laws of physics. Yet, we experience
ourselves, our internal lives, external events in a manner which
provokes us to postulate the existence of a corresponding, non-physical
ontos, entity. |

Beatles" most people think of lead singer, John Lennon. However, the
role of Paul McCartney is often overlooked. It was McCartney, not Lennon
who was the driving force behind the Beatles. |

Paul McCartney, b. June 18, 1942; and George Harrison, b. Feb. 25, 1943;
and the drummer Ringo Starr, b. Richard Starkey, July 7, 1940, were all
born and raised in Liverpool. |

The history of Rave Music is quite
interesting. It has been around for decades. Some enjoy it, some don’t.
