In The Mood And Night In Tunisia
“In the Mood” and “Night in Tunisia” are two jazz songs with completely different feels. The first different thing I noticed was that “In the Mood” has a faster tempo, and a more upbeat feel than “Night in Tunisia”. “In the Mood” and “Night in Tunisia” both have mixed textures, but “Night in Tunisia” is much heavier, with multiple layers going on all the time, while “In the Mood” is sometimes monophonic in parts of the song where the melody is played by a singular instrument, unaccompanied by anything else. The main difference I noted was the decrescendo towards the end of “In the Mood”, which serves as a false ending to the song, but then actually ends with a bang at the end of the song when the music comes back in with a crescendo and then

    MDC Jazz Band and Jubilation Dance Ensemble: Music Review

    The first piece, "Wind Blues," had a very harsh sound and was hard to listen to, partly because it was very loud. The trumpet part sounded the best. It had a metered rhythm; it became faster toward the end. The second work, "Archa," was very easy to hear. It had a slow tempo at the beginning, was metered, and reached crescendo at certain points. It mostly stayed at the same volume. The trumpet players performed solos at the beginning, and provided a longer soothing piece.…

    Black Morocco Chapter Summaries

    Black Morocco is divided into two parts. The paired chapters of part 1 consider slavery within the broad Islamic legal and moral framework, on the one hand, and, on the other, within a specifically North African and Moroccan context during the medieval and early modern periods. Chapter 1 examines legal and moral perspectives on slavery in the Qur'an, ḥadīth literature, and Sunni legal traditions. El Hamel argues that interpreters of Islamic law chose to accommodate existing institutions of slavery and concubinage, ignoring the Qur'an's counsel against such practices. In chapter 2, the author thinks broadly about notions of color, descent, and servitude in Arab-Islamic thought of the medieval and early modern periods. El Hamel points out longstanding continuities in North African perceptions of racial difference and hierarchy, so that despite the enslavement of many different groups, and the possibility for the child of a male master and an enslaved woman to inherit or attain a high social status, "blackness" came to be associated with servitude. At the…

    Bebop After The Swing Era

    It was not until later that Dizzie and Charlie both developed bebop and became two of the most influential bebop artists. In his album, “The Song Book”, the element of bebop is evident in the song named, “Cold Breeze” performed by Dizzie’s band along with jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. Bebop came into existence after the swing era. As bebop surged it developed new characteristics different from that of swing. Some characteristics that distinguished bebop from swing were the fast tempo, virtuosity and the emphasis on solos. As soon as the song, “Cold Breeze” starts the fast tempo is evident right from the start. The tempo is so fast that it was hard for the singer to sing words, and in this case the singer Ella Fitzgerald had to use the technique of scat singing to follow along with the song and its tempo. Another characteristic of bebop was the virtuosity of the music and the emphasis on long and complex instrumental solos. In the song, “A Night in Tunisia” featuring saxophonists Dexter Gordon along with Dizzie’s band, the complexity of bebop is evident in the chord progressions used and the emphasis on solos is clear as saxophonist Dexter initiates most of the song predominantly engaging in a sax solo. The sax solo is then followed by a piano solo, a drum solo, and then capped off with the sax solo once again. Dizzie was very heavy on solo improvisations and as a composer and director of a big band he gave many instruments the opportunity to engage in their respective…

    Baroque Agead

    There are several similarities in these pieces. One of the main similarities is that both songs give the listener a haunting, sorrowful, distressed and sad feeling. Although one song is expressing the sorrow of a loved one’s death and the other is expressing the tragedy of one’s fate; they both put off a sad vibe. They both at one point or another reach a climax and then drop, which keeps the listener entertained and interested in the song. Tu se’ morta and Dido’s Lament are both accompanied by a basso continuo. Last but not least, the texture of both of these pieces is homophonic.…

    Themes Of Our Araby

    The car plunged from sun drenched desert into tall, dark palms. Into a different world. Inside, the road softened to a track that wound and bumped its way forward over sandy, unimproved soil, shielded from the sun’s glare by walls of greenery. That is, the track came about as close as any vehicleway can to being in harmony with earth and vegetation. But before long it ended; just petered out. A few yards ahead, nestling so naturally among the palms that at first my eye hardly registered it, stood a thatched-roof cabin. Or perhaps the right word is “shanty.” For the place had a definite South Sea Island air. The big stars-and-stripes hanging from a flagpole seemed almost colonial.…

    West African Culture

    Richard Franke argues that traditional West African cultures invented better adaptations to their environments than were developed later through outside, Western Influences. As is stated in the first page, "the historical record so far suggests strongly that Western policies have been major contributors to the current degraded state of the Sahel that renders its food production systems so vulnerable to shifts in the weather." (Franke, p. 257) The thought, is that this is because we do not have the historical background or scientific knowledge to do what was envisioned. The relationship between the herder and the farmer is very important and something that you have to be very careful with when trying to find a solution.…
