Music And Its Influence On The Italian Genre

Music has evolved throughout centuries to invoke different feelings and to entertain those who are in the audience. These musical genres are both known for “making people feel good”. Pop music and Baroque music are two musical genres that are completely different. Regardless of their differences, they also have several similarities during a concert or live performance. As stated by Mauch, et al, “Music is a natural starting point for the study of stylistic evolution because it is not only a universal human cultural trait” (9). Vivaldi, Handel, and Bach were several of the renowned Baroque musicians and Bruno Mars is one of the most upcoming pop musicians in today’s age. The rendition of the Baroque concerto for this era will depict how to concerts for the Baroque music and the pop music are similar and different.

Reality comes from creating an imagined thought - whether that thought stemmed from something that someone has seen to what someone has heard, or even felt. The composer that will be discussed throughout this essay composed Morir non può il mio cuore in 1566, this composer is none other but Maddalena Casulana. During the years in which Casulana composed music, she was always looking to present her dedications of her madrigal volumes in a way to provide a little more biographical information than most would at the time. Throughout 1560-1569, she began to publish what would ultimately become her three-volume collection of madrigals (1568; 1570; 1583) that were published the year of her death and which were the first three books of madrigals by a women composer to ever be printed (Franck, Brownstone, 1995. Page 46, 48). Casulana presented her music in a very dramatic way, she was different and unique, focusing and attracted to the topics of ones passing and perpetual dying (Sadie, 1980. Page 2). She was an Italian composer and singer who told a story through the pieces she had composed; expressing each piece in a distinct and narrative way. Maddalena Casulana contributed a great deal of music that till this day will be remembered and cherished.

Music has evolved too many different forms that we recognize today. We trace this development throughout time. Beginning in the middle ages, we have seen advancement from the Gregorian chant all the way to the Jazz of the 20th century. The current events, politics, religion, technology and composers can shape musical eras during time. Here I will look at the middle ages, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic and twentieth century periods. I hope that a better understanding can be reached to why, when, where and who are the reasons for musical evolution.

Monteverdi was known to have distinguished the ‘Seconda Prattica’ from the ‘Prima Prattica’ or the first and second practices. He did this by saying that the ‘Prima Prattica’ music dominated the text (the text was based around the music), but the ‘Seconda Prattica’ music was dominated by the text (the music was based around the text). In ‘Ohimé’, Monteverdi used a poem written by another person and created a song with it, which showed that the music can be composed around the text, which is one of the reasons that the ‘Seconda Prattica’ is different to the ‘Prima Prattica’.

The following program was chosen to provide a wide variety of trumpet literature ranging from major masterworks as well as transcriptions that translate well to the trumpet. A historical timeline was also considered when selecting the following pieces. One of the objectives of this program was to display a linear progression starting with the Baroque era that show how art music evolve up until the 21th century. It also displays how the physical and musical demand change for the trumpet over a long period of time.

When comparing Baroque era music to any modern day rock band, one most listen to the music with open ears. It is hard to identify the similarities of Baroque music and that of modern day rock. Although, the advances made in music during the Baroque era (1600-1750) are still noticeable in modern day rock. A perfect example of the noticeability of modern rock influenced by Baroque music can be heard in the Baroque music of Johann Sebastian Bach’s, “Brandenburg Concerto No 4 G major BWV 1049”(Classical Vault 2), and modern day rock band, This will destroy you combined instrumental music, “Three legged work horse and there are some” (TheRealConcertKing). Although both compositions show much difference, they are also very similar in the way the

During the renaissance, Europe went through many changes politically, socially, and psychologically. Most of this change was due to the reformation of the church, and the humanist movement. The humanist movement focuses on revisiting Greek ideas, and the church supported these thinkers, artists, and musicians (Oxford). The church slowly became morphed with politics, to the point where the church was also the law. Different churches wanted to attract new patrons, so they tried to impress others through the use of art and music, and no longer just their words.

Prevailing from about 1750 to around 1820, Classical Period had truly distributed many wonderful and unforgettable remarks that help defining the word “Classical,” especially when referring to music style. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven all left such remarkable and significant heritages that not only characterize Classical Era but also differentiate incomparable uniqueness among one another. Uniqueness such as styles, methods, and the ways of approaching the master pieces tends to be quite small in term of how they sound; nevertheless, the differences to be compared and contrasted are still and always there. Thus, the following

Antony and the Johnsons: I Am a Bird Now was released on February 1, 2005, originally on an Audio CD, and the genre of music is Baroque Pop. It has the best album artwork because of its craft and the meaning behind the image. Usually, album covers are done with such creativity there may be too many colors or visual aspects that will be hard for a person to try to understand the meaning behind the image. For this image, the use of color or any other visual aspect is not the issue. It is done as an understated grayscale photograph, not allowing from any distraction from the woman in the middle. The contrast of lighting on the young woman is helpful as well as depicting on what they eye should focus on.

Music is built on a very sophisticated foundation that is expressed through a variety of technicalities and rules. As an art form, music has survived through many era’s that have evolved genre’s and sounds into its culture. The ages of music that were most prominent included the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern era’s. Within these years (1600-1900’s) music was distinguished for separate motives, audiences, and demands. Chamber music for example, was created for small audiences in the nobility, while Concert music was used for larger audiences in concert halls of varying classes. Absolute music was abstracted sound with no particular motive, while Program music was played for specified themes and stories that usually involved heroism
