“I heard it through the grapevine” is a song written by Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield. Motown Records first released the Gladys Knight and the Pips version in1967. Their version of the song is up-tempo with strong piano beats and background vocals. The Gladys made the song sounds more like a funk/gospel song (specially with back and forth gospel sections between the lead singer and the band)
On the other hand, Marvin Gaye recording is filled with sadness and tension-which makes more sense since the song is about a man who finds out his lover is not loyal to him- Marvin version is a Motown Classic : Straight-up , slower tempo and simple rhythm . There are some string and horn sections in it played by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
...usen and Sammy Cahn. The song has a definite swing rhythm and the saxophone and trumpets imitate Sinatra’s phrases.
Motown is credited with the success of influential artists such as: Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, etc.
The soundtrack of La La Land is just as important as the characters in the film because it helps the storyline advance and because Sebastian is a talented jazz musician, the soundtrack features a lot of jazz music which helps support the film and what the characters are going through. Musical composer, Justin Hurwitz, fuses retro and modern style music into the soundtrack of the film which has reinvigorated a genre in musical film which lacks it. All the songs that were included in this film had several demos before an official theme to the songs could be added which means that each song was rehearsed several times before it could be added to the film. The songs are what gives the film its critically-acclaimed title, along with the outstanding performance that was done from actors and actresses. The songs in the film also stand for a certain scene in the film. Each one advancing one character from here to there. Without the soundtrack, this film simply would not have its moral theme set clear and overall completes this musical film
1.) I think the biggest difference that I saw in these songs was the instruments that were used. In "Rosamunde Overture", I heard a lot of string instruments being played with a bow and moved smoothly from one note to another. In "This Land is Your Land", there was only one instrument being played, a guitar, compared to "Rosamund Overture" which had several instruments being played at once. "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", which is the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, is sang usually
The frame narrative in Charles W. Chesnutt's The Goophered Grapevine creates a hidden tension between the viewpoints of the internal narrator's voice and the voice of the external narrator. Uncle Julius McAdoo is Chesnutt's internal narrator, and serves a storyteller in the story. He exemplifies the characteristics of a former slave such as being uneducated and unable to speak Standard English. Julius is old, poor, and uneducated. These characteristics set him up as being a person that lacks credibility. However, early on in the story Julius claims his credibility as a storyteller by saying "Day ain' na'er a man in dis settlement w' at won' tell you ole Julius McAdoo' uz bawn en raise on dis yer same plantation", (N: pg. 526). This statement informs the external narrator of Julius' history with the plantation. The external narrator is John whom plans to buy the vineyard. His characteristics include being young, wealthy, and educated.

This story is about how white people benefit from being white on a daily. These advantages exist without white people’s consciousness of its manifestation, and it helps to maintain the racial hierarchy as the status quo. Moreover, “The Goophered Grapevine,” exposes how the ignorance of white people allows them to dominate over blacks. However, it is also a story trickery and deceit, a story of morality and survival with no moral compass. Nevertheless, the story is compelling, but there is no philosophical message about the intricacies of life, but it is a story of humor that is worth telling in a time when humor is

Adventist in the Arts is an essay summarizing the origins of, "The Lesser Light Collective" (TLLC) in a third person perspective of Lee Givhan through the art of rap; a musical genre of poetic lyrics with heavy rhythmic instrumentals with some street vernacular. Started during Lee's high school years, Kovacs details his journey from an upcoming rapper to one of the founders of the organization while being a missionary. She also wrote about Lee's spiritual journey with Jesus throughout the recollection. Kovac has described these events in simple terms with dialogue to support her points, along with business throughout their "rap career". Kovacs has presented that rap can be a form of worship and how she made it feel familiar
“This Land Is Your Land” and the famous Woody Guthrie quote there's many obvious differences like “ones a song the other is a quote” but lets look a little deeper. The amazing quote tells us we shouldn't be judge if were poor, skinny, fat, to tall or too young or even too old. The song says that land is made for u and me in all of the song expect at the end where people are starving and don’t have homes and start to doubt is this the land we want to live in this world when people are hungry and homeless why is this happening, so the quote is talking about being judged about anything that is wrong with us. The song is talking about world hunger and people that don’t have homes but releases that no matter what this land was made for you and me. Also if you think about it the song is more planned out than the quote the quote is just words that just comes off of your
“Für Elise” uses the concept of “poco moto,” which means that the piece invokes the sensation of moving by changing the tempo in different movements. Meanwhile, “I Can,” because it uses only one portion of “Für Elise,” does not change tempo during the duration of the song. Obviously, Nas’ song is a vocal performance and while Beethoven’s is strictly instrumental. Because of the fact that these two songs were written 200 years apart from each other, Nas is able to utilize an instrument that Beethoven doesn’t have to his advantage. That instrument is the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer also known simply as the 808. The 808, even though it doesn’t sound like an actual drum kit, is what gives most hip-hop songs the rhythm and beat that makes it’s listeners want to bob their head and actually enjoy the song. Beethoven’s piece was written originally for the piano and did not have any percussion elements. You appreciate the smooth melodies and soothing tone of a Beethoven
In the early versions of Led Zeppelin’s song “Whole Lotta Love” many of it’s greatest
...ere done seamlessly. The suttle differences between the two make this one of the most influential films in American history. The use of musicality in the film also made the film a success and Simon and Garfunkle’s contribution made people even sing the star character of the films name and is referenced frequently.
The performances mainly shared some of the same singers, since many of the performers belong to both groups. MJVN, however, had nearly a fully jazz band accompanied the singers while the Vocal Pops only had a beat boxer. The second concert was acapella so the lack of instruments is to be expected. The audiences for the two were nearly identical, with the only difference truly being how many people showed up for the performance. I would also like to note that both performances sang a version of the Irish classic “Danny Boy”, yet the MJVN version was a bit more aligned with the traditional
