    The Rest is Noise Analysis

    Alex Ross’s The Rest is Noise was a nonfiction book that was impacted by the author’s bias and opinions. Ross omitted the names and information of many composers whom were considered innovative of their time. On the other hand, the controversies of the composers the author did mention were overshadowed by other details which meant they were inconsequential to the book. This argument can be refuted through the use of facts and research.…

    Vivaldi: Composer Report

    I decided to do my composers report on Antonio Vivaldi. I agree that Vivaldi was one of the best composers and violinists, in my opinion. I wanted to write on Vivaldi because one of my favorite instruments happens to be the violin, which Vivaldi seems to be an expert on. Listening to Vivaldi’s music just took my breath away; the sound was just beyond amazing. I could almost picture the violinist’s playing with such passion and the way that they move to the beautiful music of the violin.…

    Baroque Vs Baroque

    Through this course we have studied a variety of different eras of music and each have their unique characteristics, the Baroque Era stuck out to me the most, I enjoyed the passion and emotion that was put into the music that then created Classical music. As music has progressed it has built off of each other by innovating and trying new rhythms and techniques to make a unique sound. However, between this time period and the modern music of today many things have changed while some have stayed the same.…

    The author states that in the 19th century, it was almost impossible to criticize a composer’s work. Technology creates an obstacle that if it is overcome, the results will be flawless. In the late 1970s, an interactive technology system helped individuals have the right to criticize pieces. In turn, technology helped artists to think and create through challenges. He also says that STEIM a company…

    Experimental Music

    Experimental Music

    In the words of John Cage, “I compose music. Yes, but how? I gave up making choices. In their place I put the asking of questions.” Just having performed John Cage’s Musicircus, I found it only fitting to relate my own piece to the excerpt above. What questions did I have prior to developing the piece? I was curious about the sounds that could be created if I were to amplify the situation of shaving my facial hair. How did these questions change over the course of developing my piece? I realized I could use different types of razors- both standard and electric- and was curious about the variation in the sounds from the different razors. And how did these questions evolve through the course of the actual Musicircus performace? I was simply curious what the audience was experiencing when viewing and hearing my piece. My responses to these three questions are simple, but within their simplicity lies the ironic and interesting phenomena of Experimental music- complexity and variation within simple ideas and situations. During the course of developing and performing my Musicircus piece, I sought to find place and context for my piece within the identify of Experimental music. From exploring the 10 different aspects of Experimental music, the Experimental concepts of processes and systems, and evaluating various quotes and ideas from influential composers, I found a comfort and context for my own piece- Close Encounters of the Quattro Kind.…

    Modern vs. Classical Music

    Though the delight of listening to a brand new track on a compact disc with a big name artist has a similar emotional feel for modern day people, as it would have felt for people listening to a live symphony during the Classical era, the ability the artists, and those involved with them, have with the increase of new technology and business schemes has allowed their base of listeners to be on a global scale for millions, if not yet billions. During the late 17th century to early 19th century, the phenomenon that is the evolution of Liturgical Music had hit the Classical era; extremely skilled artists such as Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn and Schubert were producing masterpieces for the courts of the upper class. Because the culture that surrounds these classic artists and the modern artists has changed greatly over hundreds of years, the skill involved in becoming a master of the art has not.…
