The artist that wrote the song for my music project is called song Simani. I thought I’d tell you about the artist first so you could get a bit of backstory on the song “Music and Friends” or any other songs you have heard by Simani. Simani is a duo band (two members) who focus their music on their Newfoundland and Labrador culture that they were raised in. The band had come together in 1977 with members Bud Davidge and Sim Savory. Sim was a kind hardworking man who never gave up through all the struggles in his life.
The amiable melodies blown by Jones, who opts for a post-bop language, encounter Ortiz’s titillating voicings. The pianist’s movements demand clever and intuitive responses from Waits, who nails
Accompanied song was cultivated in Italy in the 16th and early 17th centuries, long before the word “cantata” was common terminology. Shortly after the conception of the recitative, the cantata began to combine the monadic style with new forms and the concept of systeme tonal (or the basis for the development of equal temperament) , which began to replace the ancient modes. The cantata had its origins in the same sources as opera and oratorio. The three forms are direct descendants of the madrigals of the sixteenth century.
There are many bands that have changed their lead singers—such as Asking Alexandria, Killswitch Engage, Black Sabbath, and more. Most of the time changes are due to disputes, medical issues, or even death. Three Days Grace lost their lead singer, Adam Gontier, in 2013. The band had been together almost twenty years when the split occurred. Usually when bands have been together for a long time, people think disputes are not the reason for the split up.
When listening to the original operatic version of Leontyne Price, elements of blues and jazz are portrayed. The polyrhythm style is exhibited. However, it does not have the usual characteristic of “call and response, the holler” nor the “traditional three-line structure. He was successful in evoking the style and feeling of African American music in the sense that it was extremely soulful, emotional and polyrhythmic style. Leontyne Price’s voice, in her portrayal of “Summertime”, is stunning and vibrant.
In a market full of worship music, Rend Collective continually step out on a limb with their folk style take on classic and original songs. In their latest album ___, we are again given a plethora of songs, styled for corporate worship or a feel-good soundtrack to your day. Opening with “Celebrate,” we are given clear direction on where the album is headed, as the Irish band pull together a guitar driven tune that is literally styled for celebration.

I was going on a trip to Berwyn, Illinois with my family to meet my father’s youngest brother and his family. The trip was quite short, but my uncle had told us to hail a taxi and meet up at the Fitzgerald’s Sidebar, in Berwyn. I didn’t have the slightest idea of the impression of the location we were heading to from the airport until we reached the place. I was in complete shock because a jazz band was playing the style of music that my uncle knew that I was very fond of right in front of us. As we came into the sidebar there were no crowds of people, meaning it was mainly just my family.
One of the most classic staples in film history, Singin’ in the Rain, influenced the way the film industry made movies forever. Singin’ in the Rain was a musical-comedy produced by Arthur Freed. It was released in 1952, but based in the late 1920’s, depicting the transition from silent films to “talkies.” Don Lockwood, played by Gene Kelly, was an already successful actor in the silent film era. Kathy Selden, played by Debbie Reynolds, was an aspiring actress who fell in love with Lockwood.
Some of the components of its performance are firstly, vocals. This can be in the form of a choir, single singer, duet, or other. Second, the main tune can be played by any instrument, or none, but the official version arranged in 1917 uses a choir, and piano as the only instruments. This main tune is both high and low at some points. Its form is simplistic, but still artistic and thoughtful.
The oratorio originated in Italy, and was considered a musical story based on an Old Testament character from the Bible. Even though Giacomo Carissimi was the father of this genre, with his work Jepthe, the oratorio as we know it today was not developed until later by the hands of Schütz, J.S. Bach, Handel, and Mendelssohn. This paper will discuss the contributions to the genre from these great composers. Before unravelling the contributions of Schütz, it is important to know the background of the genre that directly affected the development of the oratorio: the Lutheran historia.
Boundary Ballads relate to the Iowa Core Literacy Standards because students need decide what the writer is inferring based on the ballad. The two standards that relate to creating ballads are: 4.

Although the stage and costumes are seemingly more saturated with decorative props than the stark, almost empty surroundings of the Beijing Opera, there is a subdued dimness that allows the audience to put full attention to the male vocalist and his muse. The singing lines in the Beijing Opera were performed within a limited range, at a very high octave with a limited range. Similar to screeching, the notes were carried high in her throat, and produced with a certain harshness. On the contrary, the big, powerful “bel canto” operatic voice of the male singer in the Italian Opera, resonates with rich, full sounds throughout his voice range. The male performer’s voice and the message of love to the woman present with him, is obviously the main focal point of the piece.
Imagine Dragons is a classic boy band consisting of four members, Dan Reynolds (vocalist), Daniel Wayne Sermon (guitarist), Ben McKee (bass), and Daniel Platzman (drums). They were originally from Las Vegas. Imagine Dragons have been around since 2008 but they didn’t become popular until 2013, with their release of Night Vision. Night Vision has 11 songs on it and the most popular ones are “Radioactive” “Demons” and “On Top of the World”. Night Visions was their first big hit and without that album Imagine Dragons would not be where they are today.
In some parts he also uses ironic phrases to help visualize the description being made. Tone shifts when the woman singer comes in
Behind my improvisation lays a theme of loneliness Improvisation is not the best thing a dancer would ask for. However, it allows me to express the real me, be creative, and express what I want to express, and no what somebody else has to express. The title of the music that ii danced to was Tears of An Angel by Ryan Dan. The minute I heard the song, it brought out an emotion of loneliness and that is what I based my theme of my improvisation on.
