Pythagorean Philosophy And Its Influence On Musical Instrumentation And Composition
.... it occured to him that the intervals might be related to
those weights. Pythagoras was correct. Pythagorean philosophy maintained
that all things are numbers. Based on the belief that numbers were the
building blocks of everything, Pythagoras began linking numbers and music.
Revolutionizing music, Pythagoras' findings generated theorems and
standards for musical scales, relationships, instruments, and creative
formation. Musical scales became defined, and taught. Instrument makers
began a precision appr .....

Rock Music
.... 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 distributed
records played by whites but composed by blacks. Whites were frustrated
because there weren't any white artists and they didn't want the blacks to
be the stars un .....

The Music Of Generation X
.... addiction. Her personal boundaries have been invaded and she wants out
of the habit, "I'm gonna kick tomorrow…". She goes through depression and
withdrawal, "She gets mad/And she starts to cry." Then the songs continues by
talking about loneliness. Drug addiction is often the background for much of
the music in today's society. People tend to idolize famous people and when
they see or hear of their idols using drugs or drinking they follow the actions
of the famous people. Another song in whic .....

A Cappella? Is That How You Spell It?
.... two spellings?
The phrase was first used in Italian Catholic churches, where Latin was the
language for sacred text. Thus, the Latin spelling for 'in the style of the
chapel' - a capella - has some historical basis. However, most other musical
terms - forte, accelerando, and many others - are Italian in origin. Since the
Italian spelling is more consistent with other musical terms, it has been used
more frequently.
Given the difficulty of spelling our favorite style of music, we'd like to

How To Listen To Music, Not Just Hear It
.... 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.
Where to sit is simple, but it takes some easy calculations to find the
perfect spot. There is a common rule for a person to experience the full effect
of the music. In order to do this, measure the distance between the two speake .....

Alanis Morissette's "Ironic": Isn't It Ironic?
.... make you remember an experience or two from your past. A good example
of a common irony found in this song would be the line Aten thousand

we finally reach what we want. A common example would be going thr .....
