Discussion: Elements of Music and Vocabulary
The World of Music
8th Edition
Author: David Willoughby
ISBN: 1259892921
For your initial post (at least 100 words), address EACH of the following prompts:
1. Share at least three elements of music and/or ideas you learned the most about in Ch. 1-2. What did you find most interesting about each one?
2. What is your most significant takeaway from the Mad Scientist video (available in Module 1 Content)? Why?
3. Learning so much new information in a brief overview often leads to more questions. What is at least one question you have based on what you learned in Ch. 1-2?
For your two responses (each at least 50 words):
1. Extend the conversation. Do not simply agree or disagree with the initial post, but consider what information or opinion you can add to the discussion.
2. In at least one of your responses, try to answer their question. Share a link to a related online resource to justify your response and/or give further information on the topic. This might be a factual/informative website, an informational video on YouTube, or another online resource. Do not link our online textbook. One of the goals of this assignment is to build a bank of new resources that you might use throughout the course; the textbook is not a new resource since we all already know about it.
First respond: by  Andrew Sanchez (discussion Least 50 Words)
2. What is your most significant takeaway from the Mad Scientist video (available in Module 1 Content)? Why?
My most significant takeaway from the Mad Scientist video is how music should be interpreted. Music should not be set in place or have concrete labels. Music taste is very individual, and what makes one person laugh can make another sad. It doesn’t matter if there is sound or no sound. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make sense to others. It doesn’t matter if you use instruments or not. Music is anything that you find exciting and calling to you. If you enjoy a sound, then that is music for you. The Mad Scientist showed me I don’t have to stick to one view of music.
Second Respond:  Chrstian Damian (discussion least 50 words)
1. I learned a lot about the connection between all the musical elements. For example, the connection between the rhythm and melody. Simply changing the rhythm, or the duration of each note will strongly affect the melody which can either make the song very active, or rhythmically simple. I also found the element of texture very interesting. I thought it was so cool how a song could start with a thin texture, and then how adding something as small as a ukulele could thicken the texture, being equivalent to a beat drop. 
Discussion: Module 2
For your initial post (at least 100 words), address EACH of the following questions:
1. The oral tradition, discussed throughout Ch. 1-5, is a means of passing down information, musical or otherwise, from generation to generation. Describe one musical thing and one non-musical thing YOU have learned through the oral tradition.
‘Musical’ might be a favorite song or melody while ‘non-musical’ might be a family recipe, proverb, family lore, etc, but you must ID things you’ve learned THROUGH the oral tradition.
Be specific. You cannot earn credit by simply writing, “I learned a song and a recipe.”
2. What are your thoughts on religious music as it is covered in the textbook in Ch 4? If you were required to change/update/revise the chapter, what would you modify? (Be specific. You will lose credit if your response does not show an understanding of how religious music is covered in Ch 4 and a way to modify the chapter.)
3. From the Folk, Jazz, and Pop Listening Bulbs, which song was your favorite? Share at least two musical reasons why you liked that song. For example, what elements of music did you enjoy most in that song and why did you like them? 
For each of your two responses (at least 50 words each):
Frist discussion by Maria Seif
Chapter 4 talked about religious music from different cultures and religions. It explained how music was used in rituals, gatherings, and worship. I think one thing I would modify would be including a section about modern religious music and how traditional and modern music mix. It’s different from generation to generation which means religious music changed over time but still stayed important. It also shows how the media affects the spread of the religious music. 
Second discussion by Lidia Olivos
From the Folk, Jazz and Pop listening bulbs my favorite song was Judy Garland “I got Rhythm”. Having listened to her growing up as she was one of my moms favorite icons when she was younger and therefore being introduced to her music, movies and different entertainment she has been apart of, it has always been captivating to hear Judy. She is someone that has an amazing voice with such a specific tone and timbre that cannot be confused with any other artist. She has always been such a staple in my household especially since she makes anything she has ever sang she makes it sound as it from a Disney princess movie (nostalgic for me of course). 
Discussion: Popular Music
For your initial post (at least 100 words), select ONE of the prompts below to address:
1. If one popular style of music were to receive the most attention in the textbook (similar to the way country does in our textbook), which style do you think it should be? Defend your choice in at least 5 sentences. Why is that style significant to American culture? Your response should be about one style of music from the Popular chapter, or a newer popular style that wasn’t covered in the chapter at all. Music covered in Ch 3-5 is not an option because there are already entire chapters devoted to each of those styles.
– OR –
2. Read A Music Critic Review AI SongsLinks to an external site. and discuss: is artificial intelligence the future of popular music? Will AI replace songwriters and/or musicians in popular music? Why or why not? Cite at least one musical sample from the article to support your argument. Feel free to share other articles or AI-created music to support your argument.
In each of your two responses to classmates (at least 50 words each):
– Extend the discussion. Don’t just agree with what they wrote or rewrite what you wrote in your initial post. What can you add to the conversation?
First discussion by Aziz Hanna
Based on the article, AI has the capability to replicate voices and styles with surprising accuracy, as seen in the tracks sampling the styles of Kanye West and Nirvana. For example, the Nirvana inspired piece “Drowned in The Sun” is scarily good, the vocals were performed by an impersonator, Kurt Cobain, but everything else was created by AI. The piece was so good that it earned a “good” rating. Despite this though, AI can’t compare with the emotional depth and the originality that human artists bring. We can see this through the Britney Spears inspired piece which doesn’t even sound like a song, or music for that matter, explaining why it received a “horrifying nightmare” rating. So even though AI is able to create music in some sense, I don’t believe it will fully replace songwriters or musicians in popular music, at least not in the near future. AI can’t compare with human creativity and the emotional expression we bring to music as it does not have the same authenticity we have
Second discusion by Aziz Genidy
I believe hip-hop should receive the most attention in the textbook. Hip-hop is really important to the American culture because it originated in the 1970s in New York and has been growing and even became a global phenomenon. It has affected fashion, language, and social movements around the world. It serves as a powerful voice for the colored communities by addressing different issues such as poverty, racism, and social justice in its lyrics. Hip-hop has greatly impacted the mainstream culture, by shaping trends and breaking down barriers in the racial and socioeconomic worlds. Highlighting hip-hop would give us with a good understanding of its cultural, social, and musical additions to musical world in America
The World of Music
8th Edition
Author: David Willoughby
ISBN: 1259892921

I need a 540 word essay about how the baroque era started and who was the main 3 guys in it ( Sebastian Bach , Handel , and Antonio Vivaldi. ) and the influence they had in it. 

W6 Discussion Requirements:
Complete both parts:
1.    Many composers kept diaries during their lives. Choose a composer from the twentieth (or twenty-first) century and an important event from that composer’s life. Consider how this event relates to the music the composer wrote. Write a diary entry related to that event in 1st person voice, as if the composer wrote it (Your choice should not be in the Jazz, blues, pop, rock, rap, or any popular music genres.  Not sure?  Search .). Provide a link to a sound file or YouTube video of the composer’s music, to help classmates become more familiar with this individual’s work. In the subject line for your post, include the composer’s name.  List any websites or other sources you used to write your post at the bottom of the post.
2.    What is your personal reaction/response to this composer and/or the music we have studied so far in class? How does learning about music apply to your life and/or past experiences? 
*In your peer replies, ask the “composer” questions as well as furthering the conversation. Be sure to check back and respond to those who ask questions of your composer.

1. Paper needs to be types double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12pt Font and 1-inch margins. 
2. This is a Research Essay and must be written in MLA format
3. Must contain an Introduction and Conclusion
4. Must contain parenthetical references and a bibliography. Bibliography does not count towards word count. 

Part 1: Reflect on Content (100 words) An undercurrent of transcendence–“tarab”–defines this week’s selections. Say more about this in regard to our selections this week. Where do we hear examples of music that encourages people to experience the moment together? Be specific and be sure to spell and summarize the various examples you use, accurately. This is the shorter of the two sections. Part 2 (see the following) represents your main submission. Part 2: Outside Example (200 words) Think of an example among the music you listen to that might explore the same concepts. Post a video/link (e.g., YouTube) that apply your ideas from Part 1 to a song or performance you are familiar with and enjoy. It does not have to be World Music—and ideally, it will not be, unless that is the music that you, personally, listen to and enjoy. Be specific in tying the sample to the ideas you discussed in Part 1, including listing time stamps if necessary to support your points. The idea is that you, as the foremost expert on the music you listen to and enjoy, are introducing both the song and your ideas to your classmates. You want to help them hear what you are hearing, so they can engage with your sample and your thoughts about it. This is the longer of the two sections and represents the bulk of your submission. Use the “Insert Stuff” option at the top of the text box to insert your YouTube link. It’s the one with the four different shapes stacked up, in the middle of the editing options. Submit Part 1 and Part 2 as a single, 300-word submission, typed directly into the submission box (not as an attachment), by Sunday at 11:59pm PT. 

Analysis the music: Listening Guide. Take 3 minutes of a work by a classical Indian composition (perhaps from the Indian music PowerPoint). Write down the times on the left, the changes in the music and what elements you hear on the right. Note the main theme, bridges or changes to themes, instrumentation, rhythm, melody, dynamics, and texture as best you can. Do you hear any meaning in the work? Why did you choose this work? Please include a link and all the performance information: the title, composer, performers, conductor, etc. See the student example posted here, even though it is from a classical Western work. I am interested in how those skills translate to a Indian work that you analyze.

I have provided a file describing what to do for this report. Below are some concert videos which You wilwatch two of the provided concerts, and prepare a reflection on what you observed and experienced.

-I sent pictures regarding the orchestra and 2 MP3 files that have the orchestra recorded.-
Thank you so much!
• Name of the venue, date/time of the performance
• Name of the ensemble, or name of the performers
• Size and type of the ensemble (small/large orchestra, a choir, a wind ensemble, a string quartet,
solo piano, etc.)
• Featured instruments or soloists
• Title and composer of the works performed
• Genre of the works performed (symphony, concerto, tone poem, art song, opera, etc.)
• Is the work programmatic? if so, listen for how the program is reflected in the music
• How does the work correspond to the stylistic period in which it was composed?
• Recurring musical themes
• Dynamic range
What kinds of textures are used and to what effect?
• What kinds of tempos are used? Are transitions between tempos gradual or abrupt?
• Are transitions between sections smooth or abrupt? What makes them this way?
• Specific to opera/musical theater: Take notes on the sets, costumes, lighting, staging,
etc. Is the production in the original language, or in translation? Are there supertitles or a
printed translation? Was that distracting or helpful? Is the production set in the time period that
the composer intended? How was the acting?
Do’s and Don’ts
Your concert report SHOULD:
• be a minimum of two pages, double-spaced, in a professional 12 pt font, like Times New Roman,
Georgia, Helvetica, etc. (If you use a font like Comic Sans or Bleeding Cowboy, you are just
begging to be failed. JK)
• be submitted electronically as a PDF or Word doc upload
• describe the music of at least 3 separate pieces or movements. If you attend an orchestra
concert, talking about each movement in a symphony or concerto makes for a good report.
• contain an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
