basslines. However, while the two genres might be similar they have their own differences in lyricism and meaning as well instrumentation and production. Songs that exemplify their characteristics include funk group Midnight Star’s 1983 hit “No Parking on the Dance floor” and rapper Grandmaster Flash’s 1982 “The Message” from the album of the same name. Both are reflective in respect to their genre and through their structure, instrumentation/production
"Thinking Out Loud" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran off his second album titled X. Ed Sheeran gives his fans and critics a visual of his hit song. His audience is usually people who have been in love or are in love. The musical composition and video by Ed Sheeran uses ethos to show his representation, logos gives understanding to his lyrics, and pathos to explain the use of the instruments used in order to argue that change happens but love stays the same.

“To dance is to pray To pray is to heal To heal is to give To give is to live To live is to dance” –Unknown Dancing to Native Americans is many things. There are many styles, rules, customs, and culture involved. There are culture and rules specific to each separate tribe who are patting on the powwow or celebration gathering. The powwow is a gathering of many different tribes coming together to share relationships, stories, and history. But Native American dancing crosses all barriers and brings
performance of Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma was a beautiful integration of book, song and dance. The three elements add richness and aesthetic quality in very distinctive ways. Dance is a form of expression using rhythmic movements of the body. Facial expressions and the use of body language through dance offer portrayals of feelings that compensate for dialogue. The choreography done by Agnes de Mille integrates dance into the lives of the frontiersmen (and women) of the Oklahoma territory. The 20th
Mars I was inspired by this song because it was first time and this song was in my graphic organizer that describes experience of my first plane flight. I like to listen to this song with my best friends Danielle, and Brigitte. This song describes me because it reminds me when my parents first took me to Disney World when I was six years old, and it was 3 a.m. and I was very excited to go with my cousins. It was my first plane flight so, I was very excited and at the same time I didn’t know what it

Energetic. Classic. Alluring. Perpetual. Contemporary dance is a type of dance that allows dancers to express themselves through various dance genres with certain types of dance including modern, jazz, lyrical, and classical ballet. Many dancers who excel in contemporary dance aim to link their body and mind through fluid dance movements. Yana Abraimova created a contemporary dance to the song “Until We Go Down” by Ruelle and taught it at D Side Dance studio. In this paper I will be discussing how Abraimova’s
really entertaining to see my mom and the other attendees dance and sing along throughout the performances, as a majority of the songs were very popular and well known all around Mexico. However, a problem I had with the event was my inability to speak Spanish, with an exception of a few phrases and words. As a result, for much of the commentator 's interaction with the audience, I was entirely dependent on my mom translating the jokes and song history for me. The performance was such an experience
Folk dance Music of Bulgaria Bulgaria is a relatively small country but it contains a wide diversity of folk dance styles. I believe this is the main reason why Bulgarian dances are so popular among international folk dancers. Bulgaria is located in south-eastern Europe and surrounded by Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. First, we will have a brief introduction of Bulgaria and its folklore regions, then will introduce some folk instruments and describe each folklore region one by one
music certainly had influence on the songs and playing of gypsies who lived in Hungary and performed in ensembles, though. Gypsy music used to be the basis of all generalizations about Hungarian music. It was Ferenc Liszt's monumental error to state that Gypsy music is the creation of gypsies. The so called 'gypsy scale' points to a southern oriental (Arabic) origin and may possibly have reached Hungary through the gypsies. This music falsifies Hungarian folk songs by introducing augmented intervals
English: Poetry Commentary Haven’t I Danced the Big Dance? By Jack Mapanje The poem ‘Haven’t I danced the big dance?’ by Jack Mapanje concerns the traditional rain dance of a proud tribesman. The modern representation of his dance that he sees today provokes this nostalgic and emotional response. The speaker, a formal tribal rain dancer, is thinking back to the time when he used to dance this traditional dance, and looking at the new generation, dancing only for show, with sadness. The
Dance helps clear your mind and lets you have fun with moving your body. There are many styles, so different from each other, but they make people come together and create something words can’t explain. Different styles of dance need sharp and intense movement and some need soft, smooth, and emotional movement. Dance shows people the real you without expressing verbally. You become strong and more confident dancing as an individual and when you dance with a group everyone feels like they could accomplish
The history of dance is unknown. In addition, its origin is not confined to any one region or culture. Similar to music, dance is a language shared by all nations, cultures, and regions.

choir show at the Luce Auditorium was indeed a magnificent night. The Manila Concert Choir was singing. And due to my ineptness with choirs, I was surprised that the Manila Concert Choir’s members were almost old-aged. Nevertheless, when they were performing, you can’t really tell that old-aged was upon them. There was the oldest in the group but still singing great, and I’m not even a tiny bit of her voice (which is why I am taking my seat and she is standing at the stage). The stage was pleasant
importance of the Levites as makers of music and large orchestras. After the 2nd Temple was destroyed during 70 CE, Rabbis banned making of music in the synagogue. The only music that survived was instrumental, and it survived only because of the fact that song and merry- making was required in weddings (Shepherd 1).

I used to get irritated while listening to any typical Nepali songs that played on radio or cassette player. Almost every songs were alike with slow and lengthy pace and had very old texture to it. There were no other alternatives to choose except to embrace what I am used to. But as I grew up and my taste on music diversified with the music of other cultures, I began to realize the differences they have with Nepali music. The songs that used to irritate me before are very peculiar, rare and uninfluenced

one hundred thousand is edgy. The night is hot, humid, and alive with a feeling in the air so palpable you can almost trace it with your finger. The bleachers are filled to maximum capacity, along a mile-long stretch of paved roadway adjacent to an old brewery. People from all races, classes, and countries are celebrating together at the culmination of the orgiastic, pre-Lenten, hedonistic festival of Carnival. Soon, the first marchers proceed down the corridor to the booming cacophony of bass, snare
