Music as Diverse as the Singers
In the Commitments, director Alan Parker beautifully depicts the liberating effects of music. Music brings the members of The Commitments together and gives them a purpose. In one scene towards the end of the film The Commitments, dressed in suits, are standing atop piles of rubbish for their promotional band picture. Music has liberated them and this image is proof of it because the group all came from lower class families and by coming together to make soul music, they are rising above the garbage.
Towards the end of the film Joey says, “(Jimmy) raised their expectations of life, (Jimmy) lifted their horizons”. The band acts as an escape for many of the characters, one example being Jimmy, who uses the band
his book The World in Six Songs, Dr. Daniel J. Levitin explores how the influence of musical sounds on the brain has created and shaped human nature. He believes that the various functions of music have affected the evolution of human relations. These musical functions are performed by six types of songs: friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love. He feels that anthropologists, archaeologists and psychologists have neglected to thoroughly investigate how music has contributed to the development of human nature. Levitin is a research scientist, a psychologist, an author, a professional musician and record producer, and also professor at McGill University where he heads the Laboratory for Music Cognition, Perception and Expertise. He has been published in both scientific and musical trade journals.

College athletes should get paid because they are risking their career of getting hurt, and they will be prepared for the pros. Getting hurt is a big role of ruining a college athletes chance of going pro, (NCAA) makes the athletes that have a chance of going pro get insurance and NCAA covers that insurance which is 90k. When a college athlete gets, hurt they don't pay the medical bill the college does, I wouldn't expect colleges to pay for an injury. When college athletes get hurt, they lose college credits for being in the hospital and not being in class, their athletes and play for your college give them a break and give them their credit. A college athlete named Brandon Roy, who played for the University Of Washington got hurt in a college game and had knee problems since then, in 2006 he made it to the NBA played for Minnesota Timberwolves got traded to the Portland Trailblazers then retired in 2011 then returned in 2012 and played for Minnesota then got hurt the 5th game of the season and then he announced he was done for good.
In my viewpoint, everyone was preparing for the day in which they should give the answers. every group should have one response form the clues that they have. Each pair had different answers, which were wrong except judge Ford and Sandy. however, they decided to give no answer to protect Westing's ex-wife in page (138). Crow was worried because she felt that they will know about her in page (139). When they shared their responses, Sydelle was the closest one to the answer because of the words song in page (145). However, she chose the wrong person from the song, which was Otis Amber in page (146). Then, judge Ford gave them time to give another answer individually in page (148). They sat watching each other to think who the answer is. Wile
Music is one of the biggest if the not biggest clientele of the Fair Use Doctrine. Songs and lyrics are often used and overused throughout every generation; further, Pop music is interchanged with Country music, which is interchanged with Jazz and so on. As a result, much of the sounds, rhythms, and lyrics become so similar in nature that it is difficult to determine which is the original and which is a copy. The Fair Use Doctrine allows others the privilege of using copyrighted material without consent and for the purpose of commentary, research, criticisms, etc. (Lau & Johnson, 2014). The Fair Use Doctrine was applied in Acuff-Rose Music Inc. v. Campbell (1992), alleging, Campbell, lead singer of the band “2 Live Crew” had violated copyright
While the music in Mexico has evolved over the years, it has successfully remained true to its roots and traditions of typical Mexican music. Influenced by a diverse range of cultures, the music in Mexico has been molded by early Europeans, original natives of Mexico, and the modern-day industries of the United States, as well. Popular music in Mexico includes genres of Pop, Banda, Tejano, and Latin Alternative. The ability to appreciate music at its fullest extent comes with the responsibility to be knowledgeable of different cultures and their music. While examining Mexico’s music and industry as a whole, we are able to discover the diverse range of genres, along
La Cenerentola (Cinderella) captures the audience through set, lighting, costumes, and most of all sound. To experience an Opera in its entirety, it cannot be played on a speaker or radio. To be in the theatre meant being engulfed in the pure waves of human voice, almost as if the sound moved through you. The most influential way that sound took the reigns of the beautiful story is through dynamics.
I was actually a little suprised that this song was considered soft rock. Personlly, this song sounds very much like disco music to me.I also really like this song a lot. I actually found myself listening to the song on repeat while typing up this comment. It really is amazing that some music can still be enjoyed by most people even after 50+ years. It really makes me think of what future generations will think of when they hear our current modern day music. Im sure it will probobly hold up pretty well in 50 years just how this musci hold up
Each group member is desperately in need to feel they belong, have something to look forward to and feel that they are indispensable. Their life outside the band is fraught with unhappiness, lack of money and hope for the future. Rabbitte unifies the group as they go from uncertainty about soul music to a force to be reckoned with. Their jam sessions lead to transformation of personalities and surprising raw talent. They may perform in small venues, but their audience feels it. They, just like the group themselves, feels a relief in the sound and lyrics of each performance. Soul music is not only sung with raw emotions, but heard and deeply felt in much the same way. The proletarians who crowd in to hear them are never in doubt of their
The song of songs it is a well-known but not so well understood book of the Bible, it’s 8 chapters of love poetry and while there are an introduction and a conclusion, the book doesn’t have any kind of rigid literary design and that’s because it is a collection of poems. They are not meant to be dissected or taken apart. They are meant to be read as a flowing whole and simply enjoyed. The first line of the book tells us that it is “the song of songs” which is a Hebrew idiom like, “the holy of holies” or “the king of kings” it is a Hebrew way of saying, “the greatest thing,” this is the greatest song of all songs. We are told in the first line that this “song of songs” is of Solomon, which could mean that he is the author, his name does begin the book after all. But as I read the poems, I discover that the main voice of a woman, called “the beloved.” And while there is also a male voice, it does not seem to be Solomon. Solomon is mentioned a couple times in the poem, but he’s never a speaker, and you do have to admit Solomon is a very strange candidate as the author of this book, given the facts that he seven hundred wines. The “of Solomon” likely means “in the wisdom tradition of Solomon,” he was known for his wisdom, his poetry, his love of learning about every part of life. Also, Solomon became the father of wisdom literature in Israel, his legacy is here carried on, through a collection of love poems that explore the human experience of love and sexual desire.

For example, the recent "creepy clown attacks" have caused an outburst in the U.S., despite it being such a trivial occurrence. They cause fear amongst viewers, scaring them over clown sightings and clown horror stories circling the news. Further media coverage just made the whole thing rather ridiculously brought out of proportion, refusing to let this oh-so-wonderful news story from dying. The media, rather than causing anything meaningful to happen, just stirring the pot further, unintentionally causing more random hooligans to take to the streets donning their most horrific clown costume money can
I wouldn’t label me a fan of any stereotype of music, country, rap, rock, all have to hit a spot of emotion for me to appreciate it for example when I hear a song I need for it to move my head involuntarily and get me to start singing without me even know I am singing. I want the vibrations of those sweet sounds of music to shoot down my spine and hop me right into my country boots. Some days easy listening with no real connection but some days I want to sit back in deep thought with some country music in the background and release some emotions.
Solo and Instrumental Part. The kind of mood of the song is Uplifting, soulful, enthusiastic,
Feminism is a hot topic in popular culture, politics, and education today. It is rare to see historical examples of feminism because previously feminine characteristics and lifestyles were defined by societal standards. Few women dared to break these predefined stereotypes. The Sound of Music is a classic film from 1965, which is known for its portrayal of the Von Trap Family Singers preceding World War II. Although the film has multiple serious elements it is also refreshingly humorous to see the main character Marie stick out wherever she goes with her unique take on life. The iconic film starring Julie Andrews has many parallels with the story of Heloise because both these women broke the parameters of feminism during their time. The Sound
For part two of this project, I decided to interview a friend that I became very close to and can relate a lot to since my time starting at the college, Joseph Ahn. I asked him four questions regarding the environment in which he was raised in, what the music education program was like there, how he would describe his own identity, and the outside influences that shaped his identity. This is significant to me because I think it is important to always get new and unique perspectives on your own ideas. It is imperative that researchers see multiple point of views so that they can create an accurate representation of what they are studying and what they want to accomplish. By simply looking at one’s own experience is to only see one side of the argument. I want to make sure that I am not being as biased as possible. I believe that everyone should try to keep an open mind to everything that they learn and everything that they take a stance on. If you only look at one side of the argument, then you will never truly learn and grow. I also wanted to ask someone of color just like me because I feel like people of color bring unique perspectives on key topics especially to one pertaining to multiculturalism and music. Sometimes I feel as though the music world is predominantly made up of whites, and there is barely any representation of other races.
