    In Kathleen M. Higgins work The Music of Our Lives she discusses her theory on how music positively benefits us, not only as a culture, but an individuals. She opens her writing by elaborating two very profound quotes on the importance of music, one by Plato and the other Confucius. Both quotes, alone with Higgins words, come to the conclusion that music is a central tool in promoting harmony in the soul and connecting our cross cultural society. Kathleen M. Higgins than goes on to compare the views of Allan Bloom. Despite devoting a chapter in his book Closing of the American Mind to maliciously attacking rock music, he keeps in mind that music still serves a ethical function. Bloom expresses how deeply music sears deep into the souls of…

    The first piece was Intègrales by Edgard Varèse (1883-1965). Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. He was innovator in 20th-century techniques of sound production. According to the www.allmusic.com, his concept of "organized sound" led to many experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. Intègrales was composed in 1925. I think this piece is very modern, and is a work for wind, brass, and percussion. I am not really enjoying this piece because it is a little noisy for me. The second piece is Coptic Light, and the composer…

    Mademoiselle Reisz inquired Edna how has she been using her time and is shocked to hear of Edna’s choice of becoming an artist. She warns her that an artist must be brave, possessing “a courageous soul that dares and defies.” Edna assures her that she has persistence if nothing else, and Mademoiselle Reisz laughs, hands over the letter to Edna, and begins to play the Chopin Impromptu that Edna asked to hear. The music deeply affects Edna, and she weeps as the pianist glides between the Impromptu and another piece, “Isolde’s song.” When Edna asks if she may visit again, Mademoiselle Reisz replies that she is welcome at all times.…

    Ave Verum Corpus is a hymn, originally sung in Catholic homes, referencing Jesus’ Last Supper. The piece has been arranged differently over many centuries – William Byrd in the Renaissance period, Edward Elgar in the Romantic period and Francis Poulenc in the 20th Century. The three ‘versions’ of Ave Verum Corpus have pivotal similarities and differences, showcasing the different styles of each composer. The most obvious similarity between all three adaptions is the text, a vital part of a Catholic worship service. The melodic shape of the pieces are very similar, with the melody building to important phrases such as ‘O Jesu, File Mariae’ (Oh Jesus, Son of Mary). The phrase reaches a climax point before receding away. The timbre remains the same throughout all three adaptions – SATB, except the Elgar has an organ/piano part. The texture is a key difference between the Byrd/Elgar and the Poulenc. Because Poulenc was writing in the 20th Century, the characteristics of the time were very different to Elgar and Byrd. Impressionism was encouraged so the layering of parts was very different. The range of dynamics used in the Poulenc is not subtle, like the Byrd and the Elgar. The Byrd had a mostly homophonic texture, with the occasional polyphonic writing and one section in canon. This is the ‘style’ of the Renaissance time, nothing that took away from the solemn worship people of the time were accustomed to. Whereas Poulenc wrote polyphonically, creating a jovial sense and a more lively piece (even though his adaptation is in a minor). The use of irregular phrasing of the overlapping melodies was featured in Poulenc. The text even overlaps with each other due to the question answer style between the Soprano 1 and Soprano 2 parts. The layering of the Elgar is similar to the Byrd, with sombre sustained chords in the organ part. Elgar begins with a single soprano line before the second verse ‘Ave Verum…

    Othello: Willow SongShakespeare also used songs to establish the character or mental state of the singer. Ariel simply describes himself in “Where the bee sucks.” Iago uses songs to give himself the appearance of a rough soldier. Most significantly, Ophelia’s snatches of folk song demonstrate the regressive breakdown of her personality. (The only other Shakespeare heroine who sings is Desdemona. To overwhelming effect, she sings a popular tune, “The Willow Song”—for which 16th-century words and music exist—just before she is murdered by Othello.) In King Lear Edgar feigns madness by singing snatches of folk song.…

    In The Song of Songs, the Shulamite and her lover are everything but what society conforms to. In their Hebrew society there are rules and restrictions pertaining to sexual relations and who is allowed to marry who. These rules are stated in the book of Deuteronomy, and if the citizens do not abide by the laws written in the book, the punishments were harsh and brutal. However, the Shulamite and her lover seemed to be living in their own world where they could not care less about what society thought of them. In this poem, The Shulamite and her lover break many laws, and in most cases, desire seems to be considered a higher law to them than anything written in Deuteronomy.…

    As midnight struck on January 1, 2000 the world came into a new millennium and the genre of Celtic Punk came into a new age as well. As the millennium kicked off so did a slow down turn of the American Economy and in turn the world economy, which caused high unemployment rates and high prices for essential items. Bands such as Dropkick Murphy’s and Flogging Molly began to make more political statements. Dropkick Murphy’s have multiple political songs such as; “Tomorrow’s Industry”, “We Got the Power” and “Worker’s Song” and Flogging Molly has songs like “Man With No Country” and “Factory Girls” and ‘Drunken Lullabies”. The songs that I have mentioned along with countless others from multiple artist have an underlying political meanings mainly…
