All three of the different versions “What is This Thing Called Love?” affected me differently in a way that they were three different versions similar but also entirely different. The first versions by Holman was very different to what you would think and what is shown on T.V as to how jazz sounded. This version reminds me somewhat of Broadway and had a very slow tempo.
As for Fitzgerald’s version, this was very different and enjoyable. The brass can be heard very sharply in the background and her vocals are also very sharp. You can hear in improvisation with the brass instruments, and there was a perfect combination of vocals, improvisation, and instruments. None of the instruments over powered one another nor did them over power the singer. This song reminds me of what you might hear walking down the streets of New Orleans back in the days, or in the black and white movies where the women would dress in elegant clothing, and the men would wear their suites with the hat that has the feather. This version

You can see how they are just going with the flow complementing one another and not trying to overpower each other. Also you can see and hear the improvisation, I liked that this had an actually video of the musicians because you can see how they are just going with how they feel and letting the music speak to one another and the audience. This version is not just another interpretation is this song it is very different. With the free flowing it also reminds me of those cartoons without the sounds like fantasia where it is all instrumentals and nor lyrics. Just the instruments talking to one another and each note and pitch has a different meaning and feeling to it that is interpreted individually by a different person. This allows the audience to come up with their own meaning and interpretation as to what is being said through the
Both of these stories give us a peek into the lives of people in the 20s and allows us to better understand the history of this time period. We see during this time, things were much more about how much money you had, rather than who you were as a person. This was a decade full of corruption and poverty, as well as fun and liveliness. F. Scott Fitzgerald gave us two amazing stories, each one making us feel as though we were right there with the characters. It is because of stories similar to these that we can really get an important insight on how the men and women of this decade lived, and be thankful that we now have much more equity among the individuals of this
FItzgerald contrast “hard rock” with “wet marshes” because to show how everyone has their own beliefs and their own mindset. To emphasize that he doesn’t care even though some people has there head & life together.
He is able to express the entire emotion needed to make song understoodable and because of this he is able to keep the audience interested, so much so that you find yourself at times tearing up because how expressive Soupy is. My least favorite feature is that there is no backstory, but I understood it was done to help the viewer get more involved with the song and video. To be honest, I wouldn't make any improvements, I think the video is perfect the way it is, it's raw and emotional just like the song. And even though there is no backstory, it, you can still imagine it. The video will leave you teary eyed and hoping you never have to go through what the wonder years had
It is also the piece that had enough of an effect to make the evil man go away, in the film, Fantasia. My strongest reaction to this piece, is the warm and chilled feeling I get hearing it. The idea of developing “chilled” bones from music is amazing. I arrived at this certain place, by truly diving into the song. I really listened to it, and could hear the seriousness in the singer’s voice. I could hear and understand the passion that the musicians felt when they pressed the piano’s keyboards. The singing, along with the instruments complimenting, is astonishing. I caught myself listening to this piece during the interview, and I could imagine even an evil monster falling in love with this tune enough to turn good. I felt the drama and power in the singing, and the seriousness in the playing of the
The first song played was from a genre that I had previously taken a test on, Sonata. The musicians played the song by the book. There were three movements and polyphonic texture. It was even fast and jerky. Nonetheless, this is the part where my rollercoaster was going down. In my opinion it was boring. Although very well played, the song itself did not interest me. I did not like the roadrunner, coyote essence of the song. The piano accompaniment would sometimes play the melody and let the clarinet follow and then they would switch. This to me seemed force instead of like the Sonatas that I listened to in class. However, apart from the musical aspect of the first piece there was a certain intensity expressed by the performers. I had never seen a
...deo to find the differences between the original and techno remix. Some of the comments made on the original video are as follows: “haha amazing. some king complimented bach on his fantastic ability once and he replied with something like "Oh it's easy, you just have to press all the right keys at all the right times and the instrument plays itself" haha”, “WOW!! It seems like you would need 5 hands to play this song!!!! Brilliant!” and “even with today's technology..it ples in comparison to hearing it played on a true pipe organ..the notes do not float together as JS Bach intended..cool job..but still enjoyable nonetheless..”.
...t of people around you. The images are really helped clarify what the singer really wants to talk about. Without the images in the video some many things could have been interpreted from the song itself. Before I watched the video I just thought the author was talking about war, and specially the wars America was fighting at the time of the song’s release. The music in combination with the instrumentals and video create a piece of art that enlightens the soul.
Many say that music has evolved over the years. This essay shall explore the elements of two versions of one song. It shall discuss the correlations and disparities of these songs and confer how it has been revolutionised to entertain the audiences of today.
While the musician?s were playing, I was surprised how the audience was. Most of the audience was talking loud, drinking alcohol and eating snacks. Some audience was even clapping hands and humming along with the song. This was quite an opposite environment compared to the concerts I went to. Sometimes the audience was so loud that I could barely hear the songs. It was interesting that even though the crowd was so loud, the musicians seemed very comfortable with it. They played the song as if the audience?s voice was also part of their song. When audience was loud, they would play loud and when audience became quite, they played very soft and tender. It might be to get audience?s attention. But, it seemed the m...
This piece truly had some magic and emotion engraved into it. Due to the fact that Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen bradford had such strong ties built a platform for the piece to be played on. The story itself, that Carmen told, made me feel proud of what she went through to achieve such success and reminds me to keep chasing my dreams. I think Ella would have been more than proud to witness such a great reenactment of her own piece by a close friend. I felt like I was part of the great bond and was happy to support them. The ensemble did good in playing their part for the piece but Carmen really took the show by singing the piece so well. The song brought admiration through the crowd, showing their full support. Learning about Ella Fitzgerald in class also provided background and relatable content to what Carmen was
...with the relaxing style, the delivery also enhances the success of the rhetorical aspects. By keeping the song at a slower tempo, the listener is able to hear the song’s message and meaning at its entirety. The structure, style, and delivery of “Same Love” all work together seamlessly to ensure the success of the song.
I noticed he constantly switched from the synthesizer to the keyboard, and this was to change the tune and make it sound layered as I mentioned before. I also noticed that at times he played the keyboard slowly and other times he would play extremely fast. So rapidly that I even questioned how a man can first not only move his arms so fast but also play so beautifully at such high speeds. A tune he played even sounded like a swish-swashing sound, and I was amazed by how a synthesizer and keyboard can possibly make such sounds. I also noticed that for this song that both Lionel Loueke and Dave Holland played the guitar, and I think this was to match the fusion electric instrument style. Overall, the entire band did a great opening for their performance; everyone looked like they were doing their own thing and were very content.
Comparing Two Sources There are disagreements and agreements between source A and source B. Source A was from a report written by a journalist Humphrey Tyler, who worked for a South African magazine. The report was written later on the same day that the shooting occurred. Source B was from an English newspaper, published the day after the shooting. Source A and source B both agree and disagree with each other over different things.
Music: the art of organized noise. The blend of pitch and rhythm combined in different mediums and enjoyed by our ears. A very interpretive art, music isn’t very clearly constricted or defined by one definition. With so many varieties of music, it’s difficult to say what aspect is really the most important. Some people think music’s history and the appreciation of music are the most important aspects to take into consideration. Some think complex in rhythms and melodies make the best music. Some people devote their whole lives to studying one genre of music in order to fully understand how that genre works. While all of these aspects of music are important, none of them can truly be compared with each other on a fair playing field. Music of different genres, eras, and geographic backgrounds were written for different purposes, different people, and different settings. Still, there is still one overarching theme that applies to all forms of music new or old: the way the composer presents his or her creation. The performance and presentation of a work of music is like the icing on the top of a cake. The cake may be the best you’ve ever tasted, but if the icing on the outside doesn’t look appealing or doesn’t taste good, chances are you’ll take a different piece of cake with better looking frosting next time. The performance of music is what appeals most to people. With live performance, an artist must “sell” his or her creation. They must put smile on their face and convey to the audience that this is their music and through the music explain why it’s awesome. They must persevere through whatever the stage, the audience, and their surroundings give them and put on a good show. In today’s popular music though, this aspect of showma...
The reason this song has such an inspiring effect on the listener is because of Lovato’s strong vocals, a result of her emotional attachment to what she is trying to express. She belts out her feelings, which draws the listener’s attention to the lyrics and creates a depressing but optimistic mood. Her voice represents her power and energy to rise and continue life
