A good fiddler was a very popular person and was often asked to perform at events ranging from weddings to cattle drives. There was no concerted effort to preserve the songs played, but the songs that people loved lasted as they were passed from town to town or generation to generation. Songs traveled with wandering minstrels and soldiers as well as those who moved across the country for the Gold Rush or in search of a new home.

Edvard Grieg’s Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King When one thinks of the Romantic composers, the names Beethoven, Wagner, Chopin, or Liszt come to mind. Looking even further into the period one sees the names of nationalist composers like Glinka, Tchaikovsky, and Smetana.

Kheesha Abreu Rock & Roll in American Society MUH 3023 001 Spring 2014 I chose to write my paper on Darius Rucker because when I was younger my uncle used to play songs by Hootie & the Blowfish to me all the time. My favorite song of theirs is “I Only Want To Be With You” released in 1994 from the Cracked Rear View album. I still listen to their old albums although I prefer the songs of Darius Rucker now, as a solo country music artist, more than Hootie & the Blowfish. He went from an American rock band to a solo country singer and has been on the charts ever since. Darius has accomplished many wonderful things, one of which is being “the first country music singer to have his first three singles reach No.

There were many things Beethoven did in his career that influenced the music of today. Overall, Ludwig van Beethoven overcame the music world by becoming a musical prodigy, influencing much of the classical music of his time, and continuing to compose his great works despite the many obstacles. Beethoven began his career in music at a very young age. He had already begun to learn the violin and clavier at the age of four with the help of his father (Suchet 12).

There are many different opinions of the exact origin of the folk tune; however the most concrete evidence tells us that Irish Tune from County Derry was taken from the Complete Petrie Collection of the Music of Ireland edited by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Irish Tune is technically simple; there are no difficult rhythms to hinder the success of the performance of the tune. The difficulty of Irish Tune lies within the harmonic tuning, extreme ranges, balance of melody and harmony lines and precision.
