There are also some iconic albums such as ‘Revolver’ and Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club where extraneous influences permeated the songs and created a unique style.

A letter to a friend about the Chug Water Band

Dear Josh,
Recently, I have been to a musical concert played at a country bar called Sundance, by the band "The Chug Water Band". The performance was for two and half hour straight without any breaks.

Brian Epstein brought into the Beatles band some essential skills of management which were significant in improving the band’s image in the public and the media. This was quite beneficial in enhancing the popularity of the rock band. However, Brian had no prior experience with the players in the music business which includes; the media and the entertainment industry. This would, therefore, give room for the media and individuals in the entertainment industry to take advantage of Brian’s situation and exploit the entire music band. As a result, it would be prudent for the band manager to ...

When I was twelve years old, I attended my first rock concert. It was not anything fancy or huge, but I remember being excited anyway. The venue was perfect for a rock setting; the stage was decorated in black with glimmers of red highlights all around. Out of everything that day, the atmosphere and buzz in the room as we waited for the first underground rock band to perform, is the one thing I remember the most.
That same atmosphere seemed to explode when the young boys in their black leather jackets and punk rock hairstyles walked ...

The swing era was marked by the introduction of jazz to the world. This genre of music started for the Southern states of the US.

Between 1945 and 1985, the musical genre of rock and roll underwent many changes, and evolved quickly, from a stylistic perspective. It is significant to understand the genre, as it has reflected social changes, and has also influenced social changes.

In this essay I will respond to Rifkin and Marshal debate regarding “St. Mathews Passion” by J.S.

A Preliminary Reply to Joshua Rifkin” by Marshall and the second one is named “Bach's Chorus: A Preliminary Report” by Rifkin.
Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the most important composers from the Baroque period who wrote hundreds ...

Both bebop and cool jazz emerged in the middle of 20th century; bebop was formed as a reaction to the mass development of trendy jazz dance orchestras in the early 1940s and cool jazz, in its turn, originated from the bebop in the late 1940s. Although both of these jazz styles arose in the same period and cool jazz as such is considered to be a modification of bebop, there are several fundamental differences between them. These differences lie in the mood of the music, expressivity of sound, causes of styles emergence and purposes of each style.

Long chains of molecules are called polymers. Many small molecular units (called monomers) form polymers, which depending on their arrangement are so useful in everyday life; making materials like silk, wool, or plastic bags. Most of the polymers are organic compounds; it means that they are carbon chains connected to hydrogen, Oxygen or nitrogen atoms. The electrons of these atoms are shared between two atoms that are located in the low energy bonding orbitals. This stops the polymers from making electricity and the electrons play the role of a non-conductor.
In 1997, a set of highly conductive polymers were ...

Life as a Basket maker II band member living around 600 B.C.E. or 2600 years in the northern Southwest of northern Arizona and southern Utah proved extremely challenging during the short life expectancy of clan members only lasting 25 years for an adult. Traveling from the Phoenix area to the Colorado Plateau took the band through extremely rough terrain into basins and over mesas. The journey went through the land of the volcanoes where black hardened lava rock covered the cone shaped mountains left by volcanoes with the biggest occurring over 50,000 years ago.

Music is an individual process of describing a composer or musician`s feelings and thoughts, that`s why every music masterpiece is so much different from another one. Let us take two great jazzmen, Earl Hines and John Coltrane, who worked in different times, depicting different life of people.

Everything has changed in time and jazz has become one of the most popular genres of music of the time. Let ...

Being one of the Wednesday evening when I am usually free and have nothing much to do, my friends invited me to attend a show at Johnny Brenda's on May 28th to have fun together.

Review  The concert I attended was at Madison Square Garden, New York. Time proved to be an elastic aspect on a Grateful Dead stage. The ending of the song happened after every possibility set in the structure and organized by the group's improvising empathy was tested and fulfilled simultaneously. One of the participants, Lesh, gave a good thought of the 31-minute stretching in a vocal charm. The escalating instrumental break was a glorious connected fury consisting of five voices racing in parallel and jamming, as well. The long roll of the music composition was a good evidence of the ...

The concert by the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble at the Bryan Hall Theatre in Pullman, Washington was certainly an eye opener to me in the wide variety of works which were presented as well as the standard of performance. The first work on the programme was the Carpathian Sketches by Robert Jager who was born in 1939. This came across as intriguing and full of passion with David Turnbull conducting with great alacrity. Next came Llwn Onn by Brian Hogg (born in 1953). This is a curiously lopsided work based on a particular folk tune which also came ...

Music is a popular culture adopted by a large number of individuals globally. It is clear that the music industry is one of the most coveted and respected entities.

The Kirtan Concert by David Newman on Tuesday, October 1st 2013 at Atma Bodha Studio was one that will be remembered.

Rock and roll is dated back 1955, and its invention attributed to Chuck Berry and specifically based on black music. However, the music broke the social and racial prejudice epitomizing both young and black rockers. There were various artists who rose with the rise of the rock and roll such as Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. However, Bob Dylan is regarded as the most influential musician of the era. He played an imperative role in expressing the ambitions of young people by establishing simple songs and poetic lyrics (scaruffi). He consistently demonstrated an ability to reach and affect his ...

The event started with a Pasodoble named Amparito Roca. Though the performance was good, it was slow and failed to impress me. But it wasn’t long before my disappointment evaporated and it was the second performance of the event that sparked the show. The performance in true sense set the tone for the rest of the show. The song named ‘Autumn Solliloquy’ by James Barnes wasn’t familiar to me. But I felt an instant and intense connection to the starting music of the song. The talent that James Barnes was blessed as a composer and lyricist was ...

One of the greatest events I remember this semester is the live concert I attended at the J.K Theatre. On that night, I knew I would be entertained like no any other day before.

The band members which consisted of soloist, vocalists and the instrumentalists were organized in a very admirable manner. I was particularly delighted by their unique uniform which produced attractive colors from ...

It was on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 that I realized what true and live music meant. The evening at the Studley Theatre changed my perception about music.

For the live jazz performance assignment, I went to see the Bobby Torres Ensemble at the Jones Theatre at Doggy Hall in Pullman. It was a gripping performance overall. The Pianist, Brian Ward, was in an excellent mood, and really seemed to put everything he had into the performance that night, along with Israel Annoh on drums. The bass, played by Victor Little, was very relaxed, and really calmed the mood on a number of occasions. John Nastos, on Saxophone, was also very calm, and contributed a great deal to the atmosphere. Julana Torres was on vocals, and was ...

Multiplexing is a method of transmitting multiple analog or digital data signals by combining them into one signal using a single physical medium. The single medium relays the data in high-speed.
A multiplexer is the device that is used to combines the multiple low-speed signals and puts them in the high-speed channel. Another device called a DE multiplexer then separates the high-speed signal and extracts the original channels on the receiver side.
The reason for multiplexing is mainly to share the high-speed channel which is usually expensive but faster and very efficient. Multiplexing originated with telegraphs and is commonly ...

The influence of both The Blues Brothers Band and the 1980 film of the same name have been enormous in musical and cultural ways, and this paper will explore that influence in depth. In a sense the band and the film have different and independent existences, and, therefore, it is hard to separate them and distinguish between the different incarnations of the Band: it is easier to think of The Blues Brothers as a musical and cultural phenomenon: The Blues Brothers continue to be a legend in the history of blues music, as well as the history of Hollywood. ...

A band more famous than Jesus! That statement was one casually made by a British rock band known to leave a permanent mark on both pop culture and music history for time immemorial. The Beatles was the band, and although that comment attracted bad publicity, it was not enough to destroy the incredibly talented men who made up this legendary band. John, Paul, George, and Ringo are names that every baby boomer and surrounding generations has come to associate with an era that will never be forgotten. The band to alter the face of music history entered the scene ...

Infected Mushroom Concert

Music was already playing inside, though it was not Infected Mushroom’s music and the band was not yet on stage. People were steadily crowding in, and many were already dancing with various colored glow sticks. I had my camera with me and people were happy to let me take their pictures as they danced. The band’s name glowed on the background of the stage in fervid red and green colors, not reminiscent of Christmas colors, but more of psychedelic fungi. The crowd was made up mostly of young adults. The band obviously has a very wide range ...

The concert in the school hall of the University of Evansville in Indiana was a real shocker and hugely interesting. The percussion ensemble performed some very modern works with huge aplomb and everything came across as very striking indeed. One aspect of the concert which was perhaps overlooked by other critics during the event was the excellent level of acoustics which was prevalent throughout the whole evening. The percussion was extremely strong throughout and also included some innovative instrumentation

Twang

Twang is a five-member traditional country and western band from Montana. Their sound is reminiscent of country and western music of the 1960’s and ‘70’s that was infused with steel guitars, and the rhythmic sound of foot-tapping guitar licks that people easily got up and danced to. As I watched the video I found myself tapping along to their sound and being taken back to the days when country and western music came from the real roots of the genre. Their music is upbeat and reminded me of the days of Porter Wagoner and Asleep at the ...

In his article, “The Gal Yippers Have No Place In Our Jazz Bands.” (Down Beat 15 October 1939), Ted Toll is at pains to point out that a good jazz vocalist should not be simply based exclusively on the sex. He is scathing of women due to the fact that he believes they are too artificial and this perhaps reflects the attitude which was prevalent in the time regarding women – one has to remember that this was 1939 and women were treated as quite less than important in those days.
However the main thrust of Toll’s article seems ...
