Help With Music Papers
The Beatles
... playing, the main influence inside the band was
John Lennon, who had an uncanny ability to compose songs at a moments
notice with an inspiration that others missed. He pushed the members of the
band during their touring years and was able to achieve the best possible
results from the group.
The band began playing in a Music Hall style that is very effective
for the audiences but was lacking on their albums. Together with Paul, John
began to evolve the band. As the years began to pass, the band was
obviously beginning to grow musically. They had moved from simple lyrics
like "Love me Do" to harshly aware reflect ...

Wind Chimes
... (to name a few). Also affecting the loudness is the lack of resonating
chamber or hard connection between rods and frame. The chime would certainly be
louder, for instance, if the rods were built with the inclusion of small
chambers containing a volume of air whose fundamental harmonic was the same as
that of the rod-- when struck, the rod would transfer vibration to the enclosed
air as well as directly to the atmosphere, resulting in a louder tone. A hard
connection between rods and frame would also accomplish this result somewhat;
the vibrations of each seperate rod would be commuted to the others, resultin ...

Personal Writing: A Beck Concert
... a HUGE disaster.
I think that (from 1) this means Beck's concert would involve
many opportunities in the future, but they made the "CHOICE" to throw that
all away. A creation is right. I'm not sure where the childish behavior
would get them, but obviously not far. I don't think I would chose my
future over having "fun", if that's what they think they were doing. They
worked so hard, and they mess it all up in one day. The articles gives some
hints here and there, about this "circus" behavior had maybe a little to do
with the bands past experiences. It took them forever to make there song a
hit, but now that it's ...

Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" And The 1960s And 70s
... was very
different and very controversial. People liked the sound because it was
new and expressed great emotion in the lyrics. Hendrix was especially
popular because he himself was a young anarchist. His wild guitar skills
were almost a reflection of his personality.
I am not sure how accurate he was at describing the times, but,
from the information acquired in my interview, the 60's seemed to be more
carefree than dangerous. In my opinion, Kansas probably wasn't exactly the
hippie capital of the world. If I had interviewed someone who had lived in
a major city during the 60's I'm sure the danger would have ...

The Difference Between Punk And Ska
... two guitars, drums, saxophones, trombones, and trumpets. It may sound very strange, but it sounds good all put together.
Not only are some of the instruments different, but the ones that are the same are played differently. There are differences in sound effects, methods of playing, and beat. Punk will use a lot of distortion, but not a lot of other effects like flangers and wahs. It is fairly easy to hear what they are playing. Although ska doesn’t really use distortion, they do use a sound gate that makes their guitar sound very snappy. Ska also uses a lot of unusual effects just for fun.
Punk bands have a ...

How To Listen To Music, Not Just Hear It
... the effect
as if the sound is coming from behind you, as well as in front of you (the
surround effect). A good room to listen in, is a typical family room with sheet
rock walls and four ninety degree corners.
The second consideration is placement of speakers. The corners of a
room are the perfect spot for your speakers. You shouldn't position them flush
against the wall, but put the back of the speaker into the corner, so each side
of the speaker is against each wall. For this reason, the bass is extended
(louder), and the tweeters, mid-range, and woofers give you their undivided
attention.

The Classical Period
... times.
Among the many musical types of the period, the classical period is best
known for the symphony, a form of a large orchestral ensemble. The symphonic
pieces generally had three movements, the sonata, the minuet, and the finale.
Building of the achievements of earlier composers, Haydn, and Mozart brought the
symphony to it's peak in the last 20 years of the 18th century. Haydn excelled
in rhythmic drive and development of theme-based music. Mozart also added to
the symphony by contrasting memorable lyric themes in very full sounding
orchestral settings.
To satisfy the middle-class amateur, classic composer ...

Gregorian Chant
... If you don’t then when you listen to the chanting you will feel them same as the other listeners who know nothing about it.
The popular belief behind is what people have heard from the enigma CD. Most people that have no music history background and say “yeah, that CD with the cool beat and the monks singing in the background!” This is not true, simply because it is not signing it is chanting and that’s the big difference. Second, there shouldn’t be any music in the background as in the enigma CD.
So what exactly is ? A bunch of notes slapped on a paper that people just riddle off in a deep voice ...

Jimi Hendrix
... and Vernon Reid. Born Johnny Allen Hendrix on November 27, 1942,
Hendrix's father, James "Al" Hendrix, later changed his son's name to James
Marshall. Young Jimi taught himself to play the guitar during his schoolboy
days in Seattle, drawing influence from blues legends like B.B. King and
Robert Johnson. He slung his guitar over his back and left home to enlist
in the 101st Division of the Air Force (the "Screaming Eagles"), where he
served as a parachute jumper until an injury led to his discharge. Hendrix
then began working as a session guitarist under the name Jimmy James,
playing behind such marquee acts as ...

Jimi Hendrix
... a jump,
he received a medical discharge. After his army career came to an abrupt
end, he decided to go into the music field. By this time he had become an
accomplished guitarist, and was soon to become known as the greatest
guitarist ever (Stambler, pg. 290). However, he did not start out at the
top. Jimi started out playing as part of the back-up for small time R & B
groups. It did not take long before his work was in demand with some of the
best known artists in the field, such as B.B. King, Ike and Tina Turner,
Solomon Burke, Jackie Wilson, Littler Richard, Wilson Pickett, and King
Curtis (Clifford, pg. 181). ...
