Essays on Music

Recently, I have been to the concert of great American pianist Leon Fleisher with an orchestra at the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center. I do not remember the name of the conductor; however, I perfectly remembered the name of the pianist. Apparently it is becoming a good tradition that Leon Fleisher performs with best orchestras of our time, since the music they played was just a miracle. For long I wanted to visit a concert of classical music, but did not have any chance until I bought a ticket for this orchestra`s performance. Unfortunately, I ...

Is this marketing communication an example for the Societal Marketing Concept? Why? Why not?

Answer. The marketing at NFL by leading brands and its official partners is strategically driven around the motif of reaching sports fan customers using this focussed channel. Yes, this form of marketing communication is an example of social marketing as the mode of reaching the masses is not through the positioning of product as such but via the social interest of people in sports. The NFL fans pursue their urge for cheering their favourite sports teams and are subjected to a dedicated marketing communication from the main sponsers of NFL like Pepsi Co., McDonalds, Hyundai, Bridgestone,etc. This clearly ...

Neither Kid A, nor the band that made it need any special introduction. Everyone knows about Radiohead, one of (if not THE) biggest rock bands of the 21st century. All music enthusiasts, but laymen listeners as well, should also be aware of the importance of Kid A and the impact it had on music: the way we look at pop and rock norms, the way music is marketed and distributed, and the way in which it is made and produced. Writing a review for one of the most influential, game-changing albums in the history of rock music is no ...

History is written by the victors. How truly this statement resounds in our world today, not only in Britain where David Hare originates but also throughout the world. The victory he refers to is the political victory of the British politicians who were victorious in the elections of the seventies to produce the modern democratic viewpoints that must be reflected in society in order to be accepted today on stage and off. Hare laments the bygone age of questioning the values of society that advocate the single-minded social and financial values of today. Questioning a market driven social order, ...

I was lying down on my bed after the day’s work while the soft music on my iPod soothed my ears. My room was the coziest of all the places in the world for me as I could be myself here.

I ran toward the door and came down the stairs. I rushed down to the kitchen and saw that she had fallen down on ...

Music – Song Critic

Introduction Greensleeves is amazingly a beautiful song sung by Loreena McKennitt. The song is from the album “The Visit”. The album was released in 1991. It is one of few most memorable songs for me. The song appeals thousands of music lovers like me for its ultimate romantic feelings. It’s a plea of a lover, who has been rejected by his beloved. I like this song because of its fine combination of romantic and melancholy note. The deep feelings of the lover are accompanied by the perpetual velvet voice of Loreena McKennitt. The way she sings, creates an ...

Franz Schubert wrote over 600 songs until his death in 1828 and possibly his greatest muse was the celebrated German poet and dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Although the two artists never shared a collaboration or even met they are linked forever by the masterworks that Schubert created which are still in overwhelming demand in performance around the world. Although the later song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Die Winterreise, are some of his best known works that show the composer at his peak creativity, I have chosen to analyze one of his earliest songs using a ...

Photography may seem like just clicking pictures of anything and everything. And that is exactly what the lay man perceives it to be. However what photography really is; is quite deep when one ponders the notion. Photography if were to be termed in one word, that word would be vision.

Some people ...

Introduction and Situation Description

Organizations, by nature, go through constant change. As we evolve, new information becomes available that, if implemented, can allow us to operate more efficiently and productively. Educational institutions are no exception to this general statement. Schools develop over time to take into account new ideas and theories that hopefully benefit all stakeholders involved. Not all change, of course, is good. The danger of refusing to change, however, far outweighs the consequences of remaining in mediocrity simply because of a fear of failure or a general unwillingness to accept an opposing point of view.

Influence of Music during Exercise

Introduction The influence of music of athletic performance has been an enduring debate since the first publication on the influence of music n sports performance. The debate on the influence of music on sports performance came to even sharper focus after the organizers of the New York Marathon banned music in the 2007 event. This action was met with resistance by the participants, most of which flouted the ban at the risk of disqualification. This and other similar actions beg the question as to what role music plays in sports performance. Scholars such as Karageorghis & Terry (1997, p.6) have ...

1. Why has Madonna been so successful in the world of entertainment? As Madonna got involved with the emerging dance scene in New York City, she was able to catch the attention of a club DJ who then introduced her to producers from Warner Bros.

Differences between Quantitative and Qualitative Research Quantitative and qualitative researches differ in their approach to the nature of phenomenon they study.

Qualitative research studies smaller groups that are not randomly selected, while quantitative research studies larger and randomly selected groups.

Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin through the Eyes of Popular Culture and Religion

[Introduction] Popular culture and religion have the same thing in common: symbols.

Being symbols, their meanings are defined by people in accordance to their popular culture or religion. Consequently, these symbols can get shared between popular culture and religion; while their meanings change (enhanced or diminished) in accordance to the strength of cultural or religious influence upon them.

We first hear Symphonie Espagnole during the introduction to the Cantor, and the relationship he has with his son, Jakie.

The dense string arrangements here are heavy with longing and further exacerbated as the Cantor finds out Jakie has been seen singing ragtime songs at a local bar. In this entire sequence, Symphonie Espagnole accompanies this friction between the Cantor and Jakie. These two ...

Description of Problem and Opportunity

A cursory search of online databases like Google Scholar and EbscoHost shows that there is a dearth of research on memory and methods to recalling information. Most prominent papers on the matter were completed in the 1970’s and 1980’s (Google 2016). This, of course, demonstrates a need for updated findings and potential new methods for information memorization. Looking to sites intending to be scholarly – and indeed, there is no indication of a lack of research – the most common modern methods to memorize any information, empirical or scientific, can be whittled down to precious few. The most typical ...

These beliefs are shaped up by the morals and values that people share. Values are taught to people through major religions that rule a specific country.

Considering the Beatles' creativity regarding the songwriting, is becomes clear the whole success of the band was achieved by the sweet childhood moods and memories brought from the past by every member of the quarter. Indeed, Paul played the trumpet since early childhood, and later it outgrew into obsession with skiffle and rock-n-roll when he asked his father to buy him a guitar that would never leave him afterwards. Likewise, John practically did not pay any attention to studies, which did not prevent him from becoming friends with Paul who had the talent to reconcile daily conflicts. Childhood memories, ...

The language used by the enslaved Africans was unusual. It was full of proverbs, which contained moral lessons and traditional training.

It is with no doubt that most white people enjoy black culture. They enjoy Hip Hop, which is predominantly an African-American genre. They also enjoy African-American cuisine and fashion.

Why wouldn’t they unite with the African-American population and chant “Black Lives Matter” This essay, therefore, sets out to answer the question “What would America be like if we loved black people as much as we love black ...

Hip-hop music came about through people who lived in dangerous streets or faced some difficulty in America and is representative of different kinds of culture, impacting numerous things after its conception and popularization. Emmett G. Price III states about hip-hop culture: “During the 1960s and 1970s — as the streets of New York City erupted in violence, social decay, and economic demise — young, multiethnic, inner-city kids devised their own solution to the traumatic challenges that they continually faced” (Price). Some teenagers unified the preexisting elements of rapping, graffiti, dancing, and deejaying, creating an alternative to the hopelessness they found and ...

The present research will explore language acquisition through reading and music.

The Beatles were one of the most successful bands in the twentieth century. As young men just starting out, they took the industry by storm with their hit singles such as She Loves You, Love Me Do, and Let It Be among many others.

In the history of Italian opera, the date of Bellini's first opera performance is the same major event as the premiere of the operas by Rossini, Verdi, and Puccini.

Stravinsky’s Aesthetics

People hear examples of music almost everywhere and every time. They can even hear such examples in the nature. Singing of birds or the rippling of the brook can be also called music. These sounds can please people’s ears, and they can consider them as the music (Stravinsky 23). However, the author argues that we can speak about these sounds only in the terms of comparison. We cannot consider comparison to be a reason. All of these nature sounds can suggest music to people, but we cannot call it the music itself. The author also states that there ...

Does she feel like she does not live up or is she constantly reminded by someone else that some of the things that she does in life are not ...

“The beginning and confirmation of African American culture and society” is sometimes referred to as “an epochal moment in American history” (Morgan 12).
