Genres of Music
My favorite genre is R&B. Every genre has their own unique twist to it but I think what makes mine unique is the effect is has on people. R&B makes one want to move and dance to the beat of the music. It gives life to the ambience and it brings people to have a new personality. I personally find that it brings me up when I’m down. I find it very similar to hip-hop but R&B is a mixture of different genres which includes hip-hop in the mix. The artist that came to mind to associate R&B with is Beyoncé. It only seems appropriate to talk about Beyoncé because she is one of my favorite artists and today she managed to pull of the stunt of the century by surprising us all with her brand new secret album that no one was expecting. I find her extremely powerful and she has a great effect on one with the music that she produces no matter what the song is about. Whether it was with her group, Destiny’s Child or on her own as a solo artist Beyoncé definitely conveys a message in her lyrics and with the beat of the songs. Beyoncé fits into the genre because the songs that she produces are a mixture of rhythm and blues, pop, soul, funk, and hip hop. Classical music is a calming soothing type of music in my personal opinion. I am not too familiar with the artist in the classical genre but after listening to some pieces in this class I became fascinated with classical piano music. Therefore I added a Pandora station and one artist who I happen to see quite frequently was Mozart. As I did a little research I learned he was a composer for a piano quartet. Two songs that he composed that I stumbled across were “An die Freude” and “Dans un bois solitaire.” Classical music is fascinating to me. I find it extremely interesting because I find it amazing that music such as this can convey such powerful emotions without any lyrics. That’s very difficult to do with the modern music seeing as how the song is now based more on the lyrics than the rhythm or the beat of
