MUS 2433 Writing Assignment Critical Review of World Music .docxgemaherd
MUS 2433 Writing Assignment:
Critical Review of "World Music" Recording Choose either Topic A or Topic B.
• Suggested length: 3 pages or 600 words.
• Final Paper Due in Module 5
• Completion Time: Final draft – 4 hours.
Topic A:
A defining feature of "world music," "world beat," or "ethno-pop," as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below:
1. How do a recording's musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians?
2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music?
3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording?
4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is "musical respect" and how might it be shown or not shown?
5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not?
6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get Page 2 of 5 a fixed "session" fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales?
7. Are cross-cultural "world music" and "world beat" projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative?
The Assignment:
Choose either a recording from the attached list or a recording not on the list that meets the criteria of "a cross-cultural fusion in which Western musicians work with artists or musical material from traditions different than their own." If you choose a recording not on the list, please let me know what it is before you begin your work.
Write a critical review of the recording in which you do the following:
1. Offer a concise description of the musical and aesthetic concept behind the recording, or answer the question, "What did the artists or producers set out to do?"
2. Discuss the way in which "roots" music is incorporated into the musical sound.
3. Discuss musical, aesthetics, and ethical issues that the recording raises, taking into account the list provided above. Think about the relationship between aesthetics (wh.
Innovation of Classical Music Concerts by Hedi SchaeferHedi Schaefer
This presentation is a very condensed version of my research method and the outcomes of a 3 year learning journey. Here I created 2 Cultural Probe sets, that were tested and condensed to 1. I luckily found 10 research participants that spend 2 months with the Probe sets, created vauable insights and were interviewed individually afterwards.I had the opportunity to do 2 expert interviews, and read over 50 books.... Why Did I go on that journey? Because I love classical music since my early age and I believe it would potentially have a growing task to help balance our strained and driven every day life. Potentially... :-)

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Suicide practices in a loft in New
York City.
I was working on the organ sounds
with much patience.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk
to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
But I'm losing my edge to better-
looking people with better ideas
and more talent.
And they're actually really, really
nice.
I heard you have a compilation of
every good song ever done by
anybody. Every great song by the

hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks.

13. Why Study Popular Music?
• researching facts and existing theories
• using theories to develop tools for analysing
texts and cultural practices
• apply the theories to understand the facts and
using the facts to test the theories
• developing ideas/theories of your own

a practice which assumes that
commercial success = cultural
success, but they define
popular music as being music
that is commercially successful.
Equally the style of the chart
shows defines popular music
as new and exciting”
