Comparison Between Ella Fitzgerald And Louis Armstrong

The poems, I liked reading the best were the two about Richard Cory. Edwin Arlington Robinson wrote the first one and Paul Simon wrote the other one. Edwin Robinson’s was written from the town’s point of view and Paul Simon’s was half and half. Half the town talking about Richard but you also heard Richard’s thought throughout it.

From 1919 to 1965, a man lived and forever changed the music industry to become what it has become today with his amazing piano playing and smooth voice. The man’s name was Nathaniel Cole, but he is better known as Nat “King” Cole. From Cole’s early jazz music in his early life and his singing in the rest of his life advanced music in jazz and pop. With his great influence and legacy in music, many people would use the name of one of Cole’s most popular songs, “Unforgettable”, to describe the man himself.

"Anything Goes" Topic 2 In the song “Anything Goes” performed by vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, the band plays without vocals around one-minute and fifty-four seconds. The band is improvising because it is a new melody playing over the original chord progression. The aspects of the music that helped me determine this was because when it switched to the band solo, I could hear the original tune of the song and could sing along as if the vocalist was still singing, even though there was a new melody. Improvising in jazz has a slightly different meaning than how most people use it today. Before taking this course, I would’ve thought that improvising was to perform something spontaneously.

Musical Analysis #3 As we discussed in class, the authors all believe that blues is much more than music. I identified with the beliefs of the authors of the “Robert Johnson” and the “Classic Blues” passages. At the start of the “Robert Johnson” passage, the author describes the perfect possibility of the American promise as gaining energy from the pursuit of happiness. As Americans there is this innate belief that we could achieve whatever we may want and if we do not have the ability to achieve our goals, in a way we still deserve to obtain them. The author contrasts the statement, with the way that Robert Johnson delivers his blues music as a way of breaking up and uncovering this desolate America that reveals itself when it does fail you.

When we are faced with the question of which men and women in human history have overcome oppression to achieve great things, we often come up with names such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. or Mother Teresa. What do all of those individuals have in common? During their lives, such individuals contributed greatly to social movements and encouraged society to be a more equal, open, and loving place. We often don’t think about people in other realms of society who have overcome oppression and have also changed facets of the society that we know today. One of these individuals is Louis Armstrong, aka Satchmo. Arguably one of the most influential trumpet players in all of Jazz music, Louis Armstrong appears to be a man who was able to accomplish fame with relative ease, when, in fact, Louis Armstrong faced many obstacles throughout his life that he had to overcome, before he was able to change the history of the music industry in our country.

From its inception, Jazz has applied both innovative approaches in different degrees and boundless configuration. And has continually amplified, progress, and modify music through various distinctive episodes of growth. So, an all-encompassing denotation of jazz is likely vain. Additionally, jazz as a music whose prime attribute was “improvisation,” for example, revealed to be too regulated and chiefly false. Meanwhile composition, adaptation, and ensembles have also been imperative constituent of Jazz (for most of its backstory). Furthermore, “syncopation” and “swing,” often viewed as important and distinctive to jazz, are certainly lacking the genuineness of it, whether of the 1920s (or of later decades). However, the prolonged perception that swing could not transpire without syncopation was utterly refuted when trumpeter Louis Armstrong often produced vast swing while playing repeated, and unsyncopated quarter notes (Armstrong, L., Fitzgerald, E., & Middleton, V. (1988). Satchmo. Gong.)

Fidelline sighed to her best friend. It’s been a month since that nightmare came for Arrietta. Every time they went to go karaoke, broken-hearted song from Taylor Swift always be picked by Arrietta. Even one day Fidelline was bursting into laugh when there was one song that the first lyric was,

Some of you may ask, “Why? Why choose Louis Armstrong out of every composer out there?” Well there 's a few reasons why I believe Louis Armstrong is one of the top composers and should be known. To understand where I am coming from, it is best to understand him and how he came to be what he is today and see how he achieved his greatness throughout his lifetime. Some are fast to judge him without even knowing a single piece of music he had created. Little do many of you know you have heard of his music’s before but did not know who compose it, basically paid little attention to it. One of his most famous song compose is “What A Wonderful World”. Many of you have heard it through classical movie, it was inserted in one of America 's favorite

“Fine.” I sighed, giving the horses one last pat. I went back and grabbed my luggage handle again. Prefect was already inside. I hefted my stuff into the carriage and climbed in. I shut the door and bounced slightly on the edge of my seat as we began moving. He glared at me and I meekly slid back and sat still. For about ten seconds. Then I got bored and pulled my earbuds out of my bag along with my phone. I plugged in (which means I plugged the buds in my ears and the cord into my phone) and went to my large music library, selecting a favorite album of mine--Bea Miller’s Not An Apology. She was a fairly new singer to the scene, this being her first album. But I loved her songs, they were so empowering and many of them made me want to dance

Perhaps I am not drunk enough to get this sufficiently down on paper, but I am here now, come back to something which only I must endure on my own. I listen to your songs and feel as though they may be an insurmountable hill that I shall not ever find peace upon again. And oh, how they once brought me comfort and knowledge. But if only I could have had just some parts of you, the music would have been one of the best. From your songs and albums I have learned more of you and your enormous soul and love than had you ever spoken the feelings aloud. Then from the cacophony of your heart’s truth set to tune, we stumbled upon a few melodies with which to call our own- songs invented purely for the two of us. Now, in the aftermath of what has been real, I cannot fathom to listen to the Yellow Songbirds no more. In all of it and for what ever must come next, I am afraid that I will never be able to hear some things again without a shiver of pain and remorse.

The 1920s was known as the Jazz Age, Francis Scott Fitzgerald said “it was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire".

The song “I Get a Kick out of you” was originally composed by ‘’Cole Albert porter’’, who unlike other Broadway composers, wrote the lyrics as well as the music for his songs. Through this particular song of his, he was trying to express the singer’s love and his relative disinterest in perfume, champagne, cocaine, and planes. It was published in November 1934 and introduced in ‘Anything Goes’ by Ethel Merman. This song has since then, been covered on numerous occasions by popular singers such as Frank Sinatra, each with their own unique interpretation and style of the song. In this paper, I will be comparing the version of “I Get a Kick Out of You” Performed by Ethel Merman with the cover version of Ella Fitzgerald (on Ella Fitzgerald Sings

As America rolled into the twentieth century, great innovation began to infiltrate all levels of industry within the nation. With this newly found innovation came new desires and cravings in the music industry. To fulfill this craving, the great American Jazz movement filled the ears of millions as this genre rapidly evolved into a popular segment of the culture. As this movement swept across the nation, talented women even began playing a crucial role in the jazz genre. Unfortunately, this was at a time when antifeminism dominated the philosophy behind society.

Many jazz artists as we know it are quite talented. Their talents are unique in that they can translate human emotion through singing or playing their instruments. Many have the ability to reach and touch people’s souls through their amazing gifts. Although this art of turning notes and lyrics into emotional imagery may somewhat come natural, the audience must wonder where their influence comes from. For Billie Holiday, her career was highly influenced by personal experience, the effects of the Great Depression, and the racial challenges of African Americans during her time.

The story and the song used in this comparison are “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway and “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Both of them deal with hope and strong urge of motivation. However, they deal with it in a distinctive yet a very similar way. This essay will convey the main settings, plots, and themes differences between the two pieces.
