... by using a heavy beat. In this essay, I'm going to divide into four sections: Rock of the 50's, of the 60's, of the 70's and of the 80's. Within these sections I'm also going to discuss several sub-topics such as famous composers and groups, and characteristics of the music. The first section of this essay is Rock n' Roll of the 1950's, when Rock n' Roll was born. It emerged from rhythm and blues, a music similar to jazz played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and later gave it the name of Rock n' Roll. Record companies ...

The first of these sections is called ‘Canti guerrieri,’ or ‘Songs of war.’ This section contains nine works. Of these nine works, four of them have more than one section. The second is made up of two sections, the third: three sections, the sixth: four sectio ...

... one of the most well known types of music because of the invention of the television just a few years earlier. With the invention of the TV Rock and roll could now reach the homes of thousands.

Led by four young British men known as Paul, John, George and Ringo this music was more like the gateway from Elvis Presley to Jimi Hendrix. Known as th ...

... I have studied over the past semester. New Orleans, Louisiana is just that place. On April 10, 1996, I boarded a United Airlines plane bound, non- stop, for the "Home of Jazz." My goal in New Orleans was to try and have a comparable experience to that of one of the popular Jazz artists would have had upon his/her first visit to New Orleans in the early 1900s. Bourbon Street, the French Quarter, Jimmy Buffet's Maragaritaville, The Flamingo, the Garden District, and Moolate's all helped me to get into the proper frame of mind of experiencing true Jazz. The focus of this report will be on my life changing experi ...

... not just their music but them as well, they act as gods, which no one can touch. For example, think of it like a secret dictatorship, and we breathe as a fascist society, which puts fun and feelings above the Lord, above all. Many of the musicians consist of non-religious people who live only for fun and only for themselves. Why then would we, especially as Christians, put our total devotion in them? It exists like wanting to ride with a blind driver rather than one with perfect vision. In addition many of the musicians use drugs and stimulants to satisfy their hunger for themselves and for pure fun. The musicians ...

... daily. Especially in the broadcasting industry, as stated by Dick Robinson. “The broadcasting industry is exploding, new stations are being formed, and more jobs are always being created�(Robinson). Having a job as a radio DJ offers a wide variety of benefits and pluses. Some of those special benefits include interviewing famous bands, going backstage, plus receiving free tickets and promotional items for almost every band of your choice (Carter). Even when a disc jockey is new to the station and just starting out, many opportunities are available, which include those listed above, plus many more. The best way ...

... music and poetry. Furthermore, a large number of leading composers in the 19th century were extremely interested and articulate in literary expression, and leading Romantic novelists and poets wrote about music with deep love and insight. The conflict between the ideal of pure instrumental music (absolute music) as the ultimate Romantic mode of expression, and the strong literary orientation of the 19th century, was resolved in the conception of program music. Program music, as Liszt and others in the 19th century used the term, is music associated with poetic, descriptive, and even narrative subject ma ...

... looked for his age. He had been waiting all day for his grand daughter and her son to arrive. Sure enough they did, His grand daughter brought him some flowers and his grandson, James who was six years old, bought him a box of chocolates. They both wished him Happy Birthday and sat down next to him. John thanked them both for the presents as he put them on the table next to his bed.

John remembered that he needed to get his lottery ticket, he asked his daughter to get it for him. They joked about it being a was ...

... places." Feisty singer Anthony Kiedis had his wings clipped for nearly a year after his brush with death on two wheels. He moped around L.A. in a half-body cast with his arm sticking straight out, affixed to a pole. A widely-publicized drug problem also debilitated him but now everyone appears to be back on the creative track. "We've been in this weird holding pattern," Smith said. "But now we're all back together again like Humpty Dumpty." "There have been tragedies and incredibly inspirational experiences along the way," says Kiedis, "but the one thread that has been consistent has been the desire to create s ...
