Music In Video Games
.... advancements,
one can see that technology has indeed caused great improvements for music in
the video game industry.
The first technological enhancement which greatly enhanced the quality of
music in video games is the number of bits which a sound Central Processing Unit
(CPU) has. The sound CPU is a component in a video game system which controls
every single sound which a system produces. This, then, obviously includes
music. Specifically, the CPU controls what sounds are to be played at what ti .....

Romantic Music: The Ideals Of Instrumental Music
.... 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 matter. This is
done not by means of musical figures imitating natural sounds and movements, but
by imaginative suggestion. Program music aimed to absorb and transmit the
imagined subject matter in such a way that the resulting .....

Neil Young In Halifax
.... and my cousin Edward up. We bummed around the
city for a while and then we went to Jen's place where we were staying. There
were a few other people from Inverness staying there as well.
My uncle, Edward and I left for the concert at around quarter to seven. We
kind of got lost. We got to the show at around seven thirty. While we were in
line waiting to get in I could here the band that was performing. It was then
that I realized what I was about to experience. I stumbled to my seat, half

.... So they started to record their
next album In Utero. Then it was released in Sept. 21, 1993.
One day Kurt Cobain went to the store with his friend. He ended up
buying a gun. The leave the store and his friend went home. Kurt Cobain went

in it like the band started to suck. And that their was already a rumor going
around that the band was go .....

"On Experiencing Verdi's Aida"
.... nothing to stop Radames and Aida's
love for one another. She did, however, show great dignity. I felt much
compassion for her betrayal and for her loneliness. I could identify with
Amneris very much because I think that we all would act like that out of
jealousy and rage.
The music in Aida was terrific. I thought that they wonderfully designed
the tempo to match the acts. The costumes and scenery were also excellent. The
dances gave great drama and spice to the production. Overall, I thought that
Ai .....

Paul McCartney: Six Feet Under?
.... Beatles have denied that they were in any way involved
with the deceit. This leads people to believe that maybe Paul did die in that
alleged accident.
In the late summer 1969, the Northern Illinois University campus
newspaper, Northern Star, obtained a list of clues from a student who wrote a
research paper on the hoax. (Saki) Russell Gibb, a disc jockey for the Detroit
radio station, WNKR, then got a copy of it from a friend of his, and on his
radio show, proceeded to read them and even make up his o .....

Progression Of Music From The 1940's To The Present
.... for
popular music in the 1930's but never really became popular until the 50's.
Rock & Roll was a combination of many music styles in an upbeat sort of fashion.
One example of when country had an impact on Rock & Roll was with Bill Haley and
Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry's career was huge, with his hits like "Whole Lotta
Shakin' goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire". That is, his career was huge,
until the it was made public that he fell in love with a married his 13 year old
cousin. In 1957 Rock & Roll .....

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony Number Five
.... a horn call in D, set against a firm base (or bass?) of
octave C's. Could it be that in the great traditions of British musical
'amateurism', RVW got his transposition wrong? Or is this a deliberate feature
of the music, intended to blur the tonality? Musicologists prefer the latter
explanation. This is by no means an unusual feature of his music, when he was
asked what the 4th symphony was about, RVW replied "It is about F-minor",
alluding to his sometimes hazy tonalities, often augmented by his use o .....

New Orleans Jazz Band: Dag
.... 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 experience at a little place
known as The House of Blues. This amazing combination of bar and stage created
one of the most conducive atmospheres to music listening that I have ever been
involved with. The stage, similar to the Fox, in Bou .....

Review Of Gyorgi Ligeti's Danse Macarbei
.... himself on big-band music in general? The marching band ushers
in the beginning of the end, gaining speed and volume. The texture of the piece
grows with the addition of another instrument every few measures. After a short
build, the threshold of noise is reached. All of the instruments of the band and
orchestra are playing at their highest volume, playing solos of a mixture of
styles, in a polyrhythmic soup of sound. The peak of this amalgamation is
reached, and the slow, almost drunken marching band .....

SKA!
.... upbeat, bouncy rhythms, and colorful horn lines
made it perfect for dancing. Ska got its name from the sound made by the guitar
as it played on the off beats. This music served as the basis for the slower
rocksteady music style which later spawned the ever-popular reggae genre. Ska
music finally made its world debut in New York at the 1964 world's fair at the
Jamaican exhibition. By this time ska was an established musical genre. Ska
later emigrated to England where the English began to develop their .....

Stone Temple Pilots
.... Nirvana soundalikes have long since disspated,
and Weiland and the boys have created a wall of sound all their own..Sometimes
an all outfrenzy of driving energy- (Sex Type Thing, Meatplow, Trippin on a
Holein a Paper Heart), to the more subdued tracks of Creep, Pretty Penny, and
Big Empty. The STP trademark sound can be best heard on Plush, and Interstate
Love Song..Classic Rock and Roll for the new generation.. This band has it all-
variety, talent, harmony, lyrics and a great overall concept for each al .....

The Beatles
.... 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 reflections of life in their home country in "Eleanor Rigby"2.
There were attempts, some more successful than others, to incorporate the
other Beatles into the idea stage. George Harrison made this leap suc .....

Sutcliffe, bass guitar.
In March of 1961, the Beatles began to play at the club that would
later be nicknamed "The Home of the Beatles". The Cavern Club, which's premises
comprised a small group of cellars below a seven story warehouse which had
originally been used as an air raid shelter during the war. Later, Alan Sytner,
a jazz fan decided to open it up as a new jazz club. After a few years, he sold
it to Ray McFall .....

The Beatles
.... and
bands continue to model, even today. One of their greatest albums was the
creative Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This particular album was
admired for it's harmony and lyrics, the added use of electronic music
techniques, and the addition of the Indian sitar sound. Though the songs were
inspired by simple, everyday things, the album was acclaimed as the pinnacle of
rock-and-roll's new elegance. The album's finale, John Lennon's, "A Day in the
Life", is the album's most disputed track .....
