The document discusses the music industry and what it takes to have a hit song. It explains that having connections is important for success. A great song that people want to listen to repeatedly is key to getting radio airplay. The chorus is especially important - it needs to be catchy and memorable to keep listeners engaged. The song "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele is used as an example of an effective song structure and how repetition of the hook draws listeners in. Performing live is also recommended to get feedback and potentially meet people who could help an artist's career.

The music video treatment proposes an 80s revival theme with a spacey, conceptual style. It will begin with close-ups of instruments being played and fast cuts towards the band. Scenes will include the band performing in a bare room projected with stars/northern lights, wearing lab coats pretending to experiment, and holding glowsticks in a dark room. Various shots and editing techniques like fast cuts, zooming, and reverse motion will be used. Bright colors, neon objects, and makeup will create a fun atmosphere. The video will end with the band holding numbers 1-4 that are thrown down and walking away as the video turns off like a TV.
This document is a paper about music written by Paul Zhang. It contains 7 sections: a basic overview of music, history of music, the Nattiez theory, music quotes, where music is found, music and technology, and the author's opinion on music. The basic overview defines music and its key elements. The history section describes how early music originated around 50,000 years ago using human voices and bone flutes. The Nattiez theory outlines 3 levels of music engagement: composition, sound, and listener perception.
20th Century music era (1900-Present). By the end of the Romantic period, classical music had reached something of a turning point. Composers began to reject these traditions in different ways in the 20th Century, creating a broad range of totally new and often radical music. As a result, there is no recognizable unified sound to the music of this period, and it is, in general, much more stylistically divergent than the preceding eras of Western art music.

Alan Goodwin's Theory - Owl City 'Fireflies'EmiStickland
ย
1) Andrew Goodwin proposes 6 features that are often found in music videos, including relationships between lyrics and visuals, music and visuals, genre characteristics, record label demands, notions of looking, and intertextual references.
2) In the music video for "Fireflies" by Owl City, the visuals directly represent and amplify the lyrics, and illustrate the dream-like childhood theme of the song through toys coming to life synchronized with the music.
3) The video also demonstrates 1980s genre characteristics through the use of toys and instruments popular at that time, and focuses on close-ups of the solo artist as demanded by the record label.
The document provides a timeline and description of scenes for a music video. It includes 11 scenes that alternate between live performance footage, rehearsal footage, and behind-the-scenes shots of the band. The scenes show the band members playing their instruments on stage and rehearsing, messing around between takes, and interacting with their friends and audience. The timeline syncs the visual shots with the structure and lyrics of the song.
Twentieth century composers embraced this term to name their musical era because it seemed modern and exciting, and the various styles of music could not be combined under one stylistically descriptive term. Twentieth century music was preceded by several late romantic era developments, including impressionism and neoclassicism. In the twentieth century, there is no specific rule. There adds a term which is called visual art to music.

Bill Fontana and musical theatre sound design take different approaches. Bill Fontana records found environmental sounds and uses experimental compositions with juxtaposed sounds to encourage active listening. Musical theatre uses a conventional approach with a traditional score played live by an orchestra or band, employing sound effects and leitmotifs that directly correlate to advance the narrative. While both use sound, Bill Fontana displaces sounds to transform the listening experience, whereas musical theatre aims to spoon feed the audience towards one idea.
The document provides an overview of music from the Renaissance period from 1450-1600. It discusses the historical and cultural background of the Renaissance, including the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman culture and the Protestant Reformation. It describes the characteristics of Renaissance music, including its polyphonic texture and use of word painting. It outlines the major types of sacred and secular music such as the mass, motet, madrigal and discusses famous Renaissance composers like Josquin Desprez and Thomas Morley.
Chapter 12 Style and Function of Music in SocietyLaura Riddle
ย
The document discusses the style and function of music in different societies. It covers several topics:
1. Music serves different functions in different societies, such as sacred vs secular music. Genres suggest character and function while forms describe a work's internal structure.
2. Oral transmission allowed for music preservation without written notation. Ethnomusicologists study music in cultural contexts.
3. Musical styles developed within historical periods defined by political, economic, religious, and philosophical forces. Generally accepted style periods include the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th century.
4. Listening guides aim to enhance listening by focusing on specific musical elements in works like Tchaikovsky
This document summarizes key developments in music and society in Europe during the 17th century. It describes the transition from Renaissance to Baroque styles, including a shift from modal to tonal harmony and an increased focus on expressing emotion and drama. The Baroque period saw the development of opera, oratorio, and concerted styles of composition that combined instruments and voices. Instruments such as harpsichord and theorbo accompanied singers using figured bass notation.
Music is produced through either vocal or instrumental means, with vocal music using the human voice and instrumental music using musical instruments. Vocal and instrumental music can be further divided into different genres and forms. The document then provides examples of traditional vocal and instrumental music from Cambodia and Indonesia, including descriptions of the Pinpeat and Gamelan ensembles.
In chance music, also known as aleatoric or indeterminate music, elements of the musical composition or performance are left to chance. John Cage was an influential composer of chance music, including his piece Imaginary Landscape No. 4 which featured 12 radios playing simultaneously on different stations. Chance music gives performers freedom in areas like selecting which musical passages to play, determining start and stop times, or choosing pitches and rhythms, resulting in each performance having unique variations.
Three traditional Japanese instruments are described: the koto, shakuhachi, and taiko. The koto is a zither with 13 strings. The shakuhachi is an end-blown bamboo flute used in Buddhist meditation with its breathy tone. The taiko are large drums that are an important part of Japanese folk music. Details are provided on playing techniques and historical origins and uses of each instrument within Japanese culture.

Examples: Good and Not Good:
A. The piece opened with a chord that grew rapidly louder. It was followed by alternating notes in the timpani, which led right to the first theme in the tonic key, played in accented notes in the brasses. The flutes and clarinets then played the theme. The strings repeated this first theme. The orchestra played with accented notes that led to more rapidly moving notes which led to the second theme in the dominant key.
B. The piece was loud and fast.
C. The piece opened forcefully but eloquently with a dynamic, driving theme. It had a rigorous mood, leading to a brilliant and musically meaningful passage played by the full orchestra. The center section was absolutely gorgeous, being lyrical and passionate at the same time. It led back to the original theme and then to a stirring and vibrant conclusion.
D. Overtureto "Candide"-Leonard Bernstein: This work opens with a fanfare. The strings play an agitated melody. The melody repeats. The melody is played by different sections of the orchestra. It is first played by the horns and then by the woodwinds. The rhythm seems uneven. The harmony uses dissonance, but there is resolution to these tension areas. The mood changes to a very lyrical melody. The fanfare and opening repeat. The raucous section comes back. The lyrical melody returns. It gets soft at the end until there is one last loud chord.

Writing A Concert ReportโจInstructors in introductory music cours.docxambersalomon88660
ย
This document provides guidelines for writing a concert report, including suggestions on transforming notes into a report, the content to include, and conventions for writing about music. The report should begin with an overview of the concert and performers, then discuss individual compositions, describing musical styles, forms, memorable features, and the performance. Proper terminology is important when referring to musical works, performers, and elements of compositions.
Music is the art of expressing yourself through sound. It uses elements of sound, art, and expression. Sound refers to the basic musical tones. Art involves how those sounds are structured through melody, harmony, and rhythm. Expression is how ideas, feelings, and moods are conveyed. Music notation represents these musical elements symbolically on a staff to communicate musical works.

Here are a few key points regarding Schoenberg's innovations and whether he "went wrong" or not:
- Schoenberg felt tonality had been fully explored and a new system was needed to continue musical progress. Some view this as radical innovation, while others see it as a misstep away from tonality audiences enjoyed.
- His development of the twelve-tone technique was a radical break from common practice tonality. It was highly controversial but also expanded musical possibilities. Some argue it was too abstract for listeners while others see it as forward-thinking.
- Over time, his music and serialism had great influence on composers and demonstrated new compositional possibilities, even if many listeners found it difficult. Some techniques like
The document provides details about a music learning plan for 10th grade students at St. Vincent's Academy. The plan covers the first quarter and focuses on music styles of the 20th century. Students will learn to describe elements of different styles, listen to examples, and sing melodic fragments of Impressionist pieces. Their understanding will be assessed through a singing presentation where they will be evaluated on pitch, rhythm, tone, expression, diction, and other standards.
The document defines key musical elements including melody, pitch, and dynamics. Melody is a series of sounds that form the tune and are most easily remembered by listeners. Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound. Dynamics describes how loud or soft the music is and composers use it to influence mood.
The document discusses Leonard Bernstein's overture to his operetta "Candide", which premiered in 1956 based on a novel by Voltaire. While the operetta itself was not very successful, the overture became instantly popular. Bernstein was a famous American conductor and composer who conducted many major orchestras. The overture utilizes syncopation and hemiola rhythmic techniques that characterize its lively musical style.
This document summarizes a preconference workshop on music reference basics for librarians. It outlines key challenges in music reference like various formats of printed music, recordings, and terminology.

Resources for basic music reference are recommended, and notable resources for uniform titles, subject headings, and anthologies are highlighted. The presenters are identified as music librarians from Rice University and Baylor University.
This document discusses synesthesia and its relationship to art and technology. It begins by introducing several artists who experience synesthesia, such as Wassily Kandinsky, Carol Steen, and Marcia Smilack. Their artworks demonstrate how synesthetic perceptions influenced their creative process and style. The document then explores how technology may enable inducing or converting senses, pointing to examples like the Brainport device and Neil Harbisson's augmented reality perceptions. It questions whether widespread artificial synesthesia could impact human evolution or the definitions of senses. In closing, the document encourages discussion on the topics covered.
This document discusses different classifications and uses of sound in films. It describes sound as being classified into sound effects, music, and spoken language. Sound can be synchronous, recorded at the same time as images, or nonsynchronous, recorded later and dubbed onto images. Sound can also be diegetic, coming from within the depicted scene, or nondiegetic, coming from outside the scene, like voiceovers or background music. The document then provides examples to illustrate synchronous/nonsynchronous and diegetic/nondiegetic sound. It continues discussing the history of sound in films and different uses of music to set mood, suggest locales or characters, or control emotional shifts.
Conversation concert is a pre concert lecture performed by ChorSymphonica to explore the musical & historical context of the programmed work in 20 minutes.
1) The document outlines a lesson plan on vocal music of the Romantic period. It includes objectives, materials, procedures and an assignment.
2) Key aspects of the lesson include discussing the art song, opera, and how music reflected poetry and emotions during this period.
3) Students will be divided into groups to perform and express emotions through an OPM romantic song, which will be evaluated based on a rubric assessing harmony, timing, blend, performance and overall impact.
The document discusses musical genres and styles. Genres are classifications of music based on aspects like the presence of voices, whether the music is meant to be staged, and the type of composition. The main genres discussed are instrumental, which does not have meaning or text, vocal, which involves voices, and scenic/vocal music meant to be staged like opera or musicals. Styles refer to the similar use of musical elements like rhythm, melody, and instrumentation. A piece can have multiple styles and genres, like a movie theme song being both a soundtrack and pop song.

Principles
Write objectively
When making a judgement, justify it with reason
Taste can be personal, preference can be personal, but
criticism is always rational
94. Write Objectively
The tempo of
Shostakovichโs Symphony
No. 5 is performed with a
very fast tempo.
The finale of the
Shostakovichโs Symphony
No. 5 is performed with a
crazy tempo.
95. Write Objectively
The opening crescendo by
the full orchestral force is
solidly loud.
The opening crescendo by
the full orchestral force is
harshly noisy.
96. Support with reason
With its very quick tempo,
the performance is one of
the most exciting
renditions of the
symphony.
The performance is one of

renditions of the
symphony.
97. Support with reason
However, the conductor
picks a very quick tempo
which deviates much from
the composerโs intention
as he has indicated in the
score.
However, the very quick
tempo is not correct as it is
quicker than normal.
98. Make it personal and rational
Although the orchestra
picks up an extreme speed
that the composer might
not want, this performance
is a lovable one, opens a
fresh perspective of
explosiveness of the
symphony and an added
layer of irony โ of the โjoyโ
and โsuccessโ in an
oppressed regime.

- It may be some feeling after hearing a piece of music. Feel it good or feel it bad. Feel it nice or feel it ugly. \n- Everyone has their own opinion and seems that feeling towards music is very subjective.\n- Music criticism has a long history and is a profession.\n\n\n
\n
- So we are like doing an adjudicator in a singing contest.\n- Everyone of us can be an adjudicator.\n- Instead of giving marks, we write down what we hear and what we think.\n

- 台上一刻鐘,台下十年功\n- Every note played is all tremendous effort.\n- You can easily tell if the musician is trained properly with the music he’s on hand. (e.g. Tchaikovsky 4’s Triangle)\n\n
- Philosophically: music should be taken very seriously.\n- Realistically: I pay for the ticket.\n
- Keyword: Technique. \n- We analyse the music with musical elements.\n- Just like fashion. How we say some “good fashion”. It’s not always about trend but some basic elements: cutting, colour, texture.\n
