  • Indian Classical Dance and Music Essay

    ..."It's only for a section of society. The masses can't really relate to it."; "It's extinct."; "I don't know anything about that. But I can talk to you about Jazz, if you want." Talk about Classical Music and Dance and these are the replies you get from the people of the country, supposedly so rich in heritage and culture. Boasting to have strong traditional and cultural roots, our country has always called itself the land of arts. Unfortunately, the very same country lives in an irony today as its classical arts face an abandonment from the masses. "Who is to be blamed?" is the big question. India claims to be the land of art and culture. Yet sadly, if we look at the present scenario, we find hardly anyone with genuine interest or genuine understanding of the Classical arts. Having lost the sheen they held, they have apparently also lost the audience and vice versa. "It's all about westernisation. We live in a society that apes Americans and Europeans. Classical Arts aren't the only things that we have given up due to the Western influence," says Kriti Malhotra, who has been learning music for the past 4 years. And now we do what we do every time our culture is attacked. We complain and blame westernisation process. Contrastingly countries like Europe and America, which Indians continually criticise for their lack of ethnicity, provide much more cultural re-enforcement...

  • Music 1 Classical Music Essay

    ...Artisha Thompson Music 1: Classical Music Live Professor Jill Felber May 27, 2015 Music 1: Classical Music Live The classical music period extends from 1700s to 1800s, which includes the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Mendelssohn. The classical period of music combined various musical instruments to create symphonies to be performed by orchestras. With the natural development and progression of music slowly changing with the 18th century society and culture, the classical music period was heavily influenced by events taking place in society at that time. Among the many musical types of the period, the classical period is best known for the symphony, a form of a large orchestral ensemble. The symphonic pieces generally had four different movements, the sonata, a slow movement (adagio), the minuet and the finale. Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Mozart established symphonies as a significant genre of the 18th century. Although all three of these composers were as equally as influential to the development of classical music, their origins and contributions to classical music differ quite significantly. As guest lecturer Henry Michaels’ stated in lecture, “Joseph Haydn is known as the father of the symphony, he wrote 106 of...

  • Evolution of Hindustani Classical Music Essay

    ...chanting. It is this Veda which is specifically connected with music in India. A fourth Veda, the Atharvaveda, replete with magical chants and incantations, was accepted as a Veda considerably later and is quite unrelated to the other three. The Vedas are considered to be revealed literature. Sages and seers (rishis) with extraordinary powers directly 'saw and received them' - hence their unique authority and influence. In order to ensure the purity of the Vedas, the slightest change was forbidden, and there has been virtually no change in these texts for about 3,000 years. Each Veda has two parts: texts of the mantras and Brahmanas, which consist of rituals and related examples. Moreover, to each Brahmana is attached an Upanishad as well as an Aranyaka, both having a philosophical content. The rishis, to whom the hymns of the Vedas appeared as revelations, are the authors of those hymns. The seven Rishis (saptarshis) are referred to in the Shatapatha Brahmana as Goutama, Bharadwaja, Vishwamitra, Jamadagni, Vashistha, Kashyapa and Atri. The seven Rishis are represented in the sky by the seven stars of the Great Bear. The richas or the hymns were often composed on the spur of the moment. ! Vedic Music Vedic religion was based on performing sacrifices in order to propitiate the gods. Music formed an important part of the rituals, which structured the sacrifice. In fact, singing, instrumental...

  • Music: The Viennese Classical Style Essay

    ... 16 December 2013 Cynthia Laker This essay will include an introduction, and then use examples of works from Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven to discuss the historical significance and evolution of the six genres of the Viennese Classical Style. I. The String Quartet; II. the Symphony and the Symphony Orchestra; III. Sonata; IV. The Concerto; V. Serenade This essay will also describe the four forms found in the four-movement symphony. Sonata allegro; Ternary; Theme and Variations; Rondo Introduction The social and political scene during the late 18th century was hardly a setting for a quiet, composed classical age in view of the main revolutionary spirit and imposing rivalry. The revolutionary movement did have a direct effect on music in that music became a new ideal, music that directly attracted a large class of unsophisticated people who had previously been excluded from courtly entertainment. The French obsession with lightness, gracefulness and decoration was offset by the brutal German affinity for drama and tears as expressed in the Sturm und Drung (storm and stress) in the arts of the time. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn and young Ludwig van Beethoven inspired the changes in musical style that distinguished the Classical era from the Baroque. The orchestra and chamber groups such as the string quintet and the piano became consistent with the organization of...

  • Classical Music Essay

    ...Classical Music Passion and determination are leading forces that can aid in conquering anything. A true appreciation and optimism arises when one can express themselves deep within. The ability to connect what one feels through music is rewarding. Classical music has changed the perspective of an average individual. The genre is very different compared to other genres of music; the music is elegant, expressive, and artistic. This genre of music is intricate, yet passionate and it shows a direct representation of the composer himself. It is a piece that has proved its value overtime. The strong sounds of classical music have made such a tremendous impact on society compared to other types of music. Classical music is rooted all the way from the 11th century to present day today. In the article, “The Rise and Fall of Literacy in Classical Music: An Essay on Musical Notation,” Dahl states the period from 1550 to the 1900 was known as “the Common Practice”. Classical music is largely distinguished from other art forms due to the notation. The music is measured precisely with pitch speed, meter, rhythm, and exact execution of the piece of music; thus, it leaves less room for practice and more room for...

  • The Flute From Classical to Romantic Eras Essay

    ... Changes within the flute from classical to romantic to neo romantic era's Flute instrument When a jet of air is directed across one of the open ends at the appropriate speed, pulses of air set up a standing wave within the pipe. Some of the energy from the standing wave escapes and propagates to the ear, where it is perceived as sound. Holes in the side of the flute can be opened or closed by the player’s fingers, which changes the effective length of the pipe and the frequency of the notes that can be played. A flute with all the tone holes closed has a long column of air, open at both ends. When the flute is played, sound waves travel up and down the flute, producing a standing wave. The air column in the flute resonates at particular frequencies—these different modes determine the notes that are possible. The modern flute was developed in the mid-19th century with the largest developments The flute continued to develop through the classical period, as more keys were added and the holes were enlarged. Makers at this time generally sought more volume, a ‘stronger tone’ and greater uniformity of timbre among different notes. On a classical flute, fewer cross finger- ings are used, and are necessary only in the third octave of the instrument. Most flutes of...

  • Essay about Microtones in Greek and Indian Music

    ...Munir 1 Mustafain Munir Professor Moore Ancient Greek and Roman Music 12 December 2013 Microtonal Phenomena in Ancient Greek and Classical Indian Music The semitone today is almost unanimously used in Western Music to divide the octave into twelve equal intervals, and rarely are further divisions used; this is called twelve-tone equal temperament. In opposition, the common division of the octave in Arab music today is the quartertone, a type of microtone exactly one half a semitone, and the resulting is a 24-tone equal temperament. This system was derived from the work of the famous Arab scholar and a philosopher named Al-Farabi (872-950CE).1 Al-Farabi also contributed to the field of Greek musical theory, and is in part responsible for its preservation. There are an abundance of distinctive features that differentiate what is thought of as traditional “Western” music with that of “Eastern” music. However, one of the most prominent aspects is the unmistakable use of microtones in the theory and performance of the latter and a sufficient dearth of its application in the former. It is quite intriguing then that in Classical Greece, considered a key time period in the development of Western Civilization, the preferred musical structure from the fifth century BC to the late fourth century, was the enharmonic genus and it indubitably...
