Bela Bartok (1881-1945) has its roots Hungarian folk, opera, chamber music and ballet to revolutionize. Regarded as a great thinker and a musician, but his influence will remain for years.

Philip Glass (1937 -), a minimalist startedwith works such as "Strung Out", but later extended his work in line with works such as "Satyagraha," based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. The glass is free Tibet because active.

For his big jump in total serialism, Pierre Boulez (1925 -) has observed, is one of the most famous modern French composers. Although he did not write a lot in recent years, his greatest work is considered "Pli Selon Pli," based on the verse of the poet Mallarme.

Best known for his workPeter Grimes, Benjamin Britten (1913-76) was the leading light of British classical music scene of the twentieth century. He was above all an artist profoundly moral, an expression of hostility to violence with his acclaimed "War Requiem".

The conductor Sir Thomas Beecham was once asked if he had ever known made any Stockhausen. He replied that he did not, but he would have strengthened some.

Another of the world's greatest composers was Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), who embodies the love story back in favor of a more avant-garde style irregular ballet "The Firebird itself.

Pass Me Not: Sacred Steel Guitars, Vol. 2

Pass Me Not: Sacred Steel Guitars, Vol. 2 Review



I never heard guitars talk the way they do when played by the Campbell brothers. They approach the guitar as a human voice, and they succeed better than anyone I ever heard.
With a change of the lyrics, this could have sounded like a truly great and innovative Chicago blues band. The difference is mostly in lyrics and in that the Brothers go all the way all the time - no laid back moment throughout the CD.
For some reason I prefer the tracks that were recorded without Kate Jackson (11-14). Make no mistake - she is an awsome singer. I just feel that if I could hear someone like Julius Cheeks, Archie Brownlee, or the soloists of the Caravans, the Soul Stirrers or The Swan Silvertones - backed by the amazing guitars of the Campbell brothers - I would never stop listening.
All the tracks are good - the opener is chilling, Mary Dont you Weep remains one of my favorites ("Pharoe's army got drowned in the sea" - to me is a political agenda).
A spiritual CD to warm you up when your'e down and out.




Pass Me Not: Sacred Steel Guitars, Vol. 2 Overview


If, as many sacred musicians believe, the blues is "devil's music," who, pray tell, is responsible for the feverish music on this sacred-steel record? Sorry to say, this music is nasty in the most righteous sense of the word. The Campbell Brothers, led by incredible pedal-steel guitarist Chuck and electric guitarist-bassist Phil, play an almost insurgent brand of sacred-steel music--a form with deep ties to the Church of the Living God, Keith Dominion--that adds the urgency of rock, the exploration of jazz, and the grit of the blues to its roots. On his pedal steel, Chuck is capable of otherworldly shouts and wails, melodic beauty, and speedy runs of head-spinning alacrity. The sheer number of distinct tones he coaxes is amazing. And when Katie Jackson delivers her wrought-up and commanding vocals, the intensity is almost too much to bear. Youngest brother Darick trades lap-steel licks with Chuck on three standout cuts and offers an urgent vocal workout on one live tune recorded at their father's church. If this is God's work, imagine what would happen if the devil got a hold of these guys! --Marc Greilsamer

Music review Brantley Gilbert

Brantley Gilbert Congratulations, you are my first contribution. I found a simple search on MySpace, I had to check first, and tell the truth, I am so happy that I came across Brantley Gilbert.

Now I was not able to much about this guy from his MySpace page to learn. I think he just wanted to let only the music speaks for itself.

The first thing I noticed waiting to load your music, it was the dates of the tour. This guy must be on the edge of the star. HasBookings until December. Some people can not understand how big it is, however, is enormous! To dream of a working group is a musician. So congrats on that.

Now, for the music

The first song I heard was "My Kinda Party". This is the song good ol 'country rocker that makes want to get up and shake a bit'. The lyrics of this song were great. I do not know who is doing the writing, but keep at it. I love this song, but there is aSome things I feel are missing. The song feels empty when it is appropriate to parts choir. You can stay where it should be the construction and nature of stays in a plane. I believe that there is no such thing as a guitar distorted to fill the song with a full sound and give that country difficult, serious ass, and does not listen, the nature of the product.

The other thing that I noticed any choirs. This helps the song sound fuller than I think it would catapult en Radio. It's definitely almost ready for this.

Overall I think the song is great and you would like to know if a producer enters into possession, and that really makes "The Business" on.

The next thing I heard was "A Modern Day Prodigial Son." Brantley, what do you do on the street and not being with the bigwigs at Sony or hell itself, as an indie label Big Machine Records. One of them will make you rich!

This song has hit written all over him. I know, big country> Music and my friends IS GREAT Country Music. I can not believe how good your songs are written. As I said, I do not know much about these guys, but I think that does it for a while '. "I am a renegade I'm a tramp." This is particularly true for many people. I see myself playing this for my friends and I sing this at a karaoke bar. I love Wannabe in Nashville!

I could not, time to get to the next track. I saw the familiar name of Colt Ford will bea song I'd heard. The title was "Dirt Road Anthem".

This song is the new style of rap country. The song has no album cut written all over him. But for me, I dig it. It has everything I like. I am a big rap / hip-hop fans, and rightly so my thing. I do not see a country in a friendly way radio with this cut, because it sounds so much like a stream rap.

Colt Ford is great in this song. I have a couple of things on CMT, but thisreally took me by surprise. His rhyme style is nothing less than the point. It was country, was the rap, you have to play with my car.

The hook and the music was good, so good. Guys, this was perfect for me.

Overall Final Review

Brantley Gilbert is fantastic. It seems to me like a man should be so close to a "distraction" that has the smell of popcorn stage hours. Just keep it up and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. Congratulations BrantleyGilbert has received the thumbs up from me! Visit his MySpace page at myspace.com / brantleygilbertmusic.

The Music Man (1957 Original Broadway Cast) [Angel Reissue]

The Music Man (1957 Original Broadway Cast) [Angel Reissue] Review



Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" has been revised and performed all over the world. While it's a good musical overall, I am not crazy about it myself. I didn't care for Pert Kelton's voice which I felt was like nails on a chalkboard at times. One of the main reasons to listen to this compact disc is for Barbara Cook's singing capabilities as old maid librarian Marian. Pert Kelton plays her mother. Marian thinks she's better than most of the people in her small Iowa town because she reads French literature but manages to fall in love with the music salesman. Apart from Barbara Cook, I didn't care about the rest of the story. I felt the songs were typical of the musical genre and sometimes annoying but I do feel that it's worth seeing once if not at all.




The Music Man (1957 Original Broadway Cast) [Angel Reissue] Overview


Although Robert Preston and Barbara Cook put in stellar performances, it's the music that's the star of this hugely successful document of the 1958 Broadway smash. Written entirely by Meredith Willson, it drew from memories of his childhood in a small Midwestern town. Preston plays a traveling salesman/con artist, while Cook is the dull spinster "Marian the Librarian," whose love for Preston's character makes her come alive. "Seventy-Six Trombones" has become a marching band standard, while "Ya Got Trouble" (featuring dizzying fast-talk from Preston) and "'Til There Was You" (with a gorgeous vocal from Cook) remain well known even among those who have never seen the show. The latter was also a favorite of the Beatles, who covered it on their first album. --Dawn Eden

Learning music as an adult

While we have all heard stories of miracles and learn the importance of learning music as a child, an adult is still playing well one instrument. Even without prior knowledge can learn the proper training assistance of an adult to play good music as a child. The main thing is to learn to find the right way, both from a tutor or self-study.

The adults come with their personal baggage, often from childhood lessons. Adult piano students may have had bad experiences with music lessons as a child. These can range from trainers fear of endless unfair or teacher-student relationships. Sometimes a teacher can not punish students for his ability enough, and sometimes a teacher can be a very promising students have gone too. This is one of the obstacles that come with the learning of music as an adult.

Accept the teacher as an authority figure is a further difficulty that comes with learning> Music as an adult. An adult has learned to be independent. An adult will take part in the development of curricula and will be able to evaluate themselves. It may be difficult for an adult, simply listen and receive instruction from a music teacher. So the best conditions for learning music as an adult self can be a teacher or trainer to be found, which teaches, through long-distance calls on Internet. There are many wonderful piano lessons now available on the Internet: Simplyinto something like "playing piano" on a search engine and you'll find some.

Although the process of learning music as an adult from a child, is not necessarily more difficult to reverse. To have a child, what the music is magic, an adult who sees the work in question, making the music scene. It is primarily a mental obstacle to overcome. The learning of music as a child is part of the natural process of development, as when learning musicAdults is usually part of a larger goal. For example, an adult is as a tool for learning how to play to join the team of worship of the church.

Learning music as an adult, can be difficult also because of the deep personality traits. Moreover, adults outwardly confident when people get insecure about their mistakes. So it is with learning music. If a teacher is employed, an adult can be embarrassing when the teacher corrects a wrong note or technique. Some adults have difficultyBreathing and concentration when they are very nervous. All these factors can lead to a difficult context for learning.

Adults also demand comfort. This is why adults often learn an instrument in their homes. Children are less demanding than the hardness of a piano bench, for example. Adults have back or other conditions that have a high level of comfort is necessary.

So the basic ingredients for the learning of music as an adult are adaptable tutoring, the reason for learning,Confidence and comfort. With these key points and the search for the best learning method for you, you become an adult musical genius - Well, maybe not a genius - maybe even a person who has more fun. Or maybe you are the man speaks or girl at a party that knows how to play all the newest songs. With the right to education, adults can enjoy listening to music wherever they are.

Dracula Music

As a composer, musician and teacher, is very likely that I heard most of the music over the years. However, I still love the music of the film, and especially, old horror movie soundtracks (think Hammer Films, etc..) Dracula is a solid favorite!

Let's start with the music of Philip Glass, Quartet composed for the 1931 Bela Lugosi classic Dracula movies from the beautiful Kronos String.

Glass is a minimalist style suitable well to this topic. The album is a modern sound, but with a kind of timeless chamber-music quality, and is a good company just film dialogue.

Fingerprints usual glass are here: stubborn repetitive arpeggios, motivations, and rocking two-note bass lines, but touched with delicate, lyrical moments. For me (as a melody man at heart!), E 'was this melodic moments that the album before too boring prevented. Do not get me wrong, I like the modern, dissonant> Music, but I finally had time for a damn good melody and this album gave me something.

Most of the 26 tracks are quite short (1-4 minutes) and, even if left, are surprisingly melodic. The string is playing very well, as one would expect from the bonds Kronos.

Here are some of my favorite highlights:

"Excellent, Mr. Renfield": a sinister plot planned by repeated ostinato / riff, but with moments of sheer terror, where the quartet suddenly inside the ticking BassThe line keeps things moving and a melody of great resolution over the top rounds of the fly-eating lunatic who lives in prison!

"The Storm": a violent start to the track, full of harmony and very ambiguous memory of a storm. Pizzicato strings produce the rain and wind quickly to create the impression of speed.

'Terrible tragedy' not: sure if this is bi-and tri-tonal! Sounds like every member of the quartet plays in a different key. I like their quality hypnotic and simpleshort riff.

"In the theater": a very catchy melody and simple chord progressions - it reminds me of Phantom of the Opera, for some reason!

"Renfield" sound surprisingly good and enjoyable for our residents crazy! Very classical piece that plays with some anticipated changes and two basses accompanying note, later moved to triplets. Very nice.

This is not the blood of Dracula usually dirty, full of diminished chord and the strings of screams. Yes, it can berepetitive, but the glass seems to offer a wider range of tones than usual, and for this kind of music, I found it very melodic (even if it would be hard pressed to whistle with the CD!).

Perhaps the CD is never tired halfway: 26 tracks are a lot of minimalist music! I must admit that I have not seen the movie with this soundtrack, but I've heard that the images seamlessly in particular "guided vehicle," whereSpinning wheels are clearly visible and the music evokes a feeling of threat.

Overall ... I like it!

The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz)

The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz) Review



This DVD is great. Freddie is a first class international performer that has never gotten his full due. I have danced and clapped- while watching this DVD- about 3 times now and I just got it over the weekend. This artist work is not dated and his voice is as strong as ever, and he gives you a show! The hard work that went into this DVD is above board. A lot of folks did their homework on this project.

Freddie- the band- the back up singers- and the set d?cor (lighting -sound, etc) and the B.E. T. audience are on point. Now I want to buy all of his music- that is my next step.

Big ups to you Freddie and keep up the good work!

PS: I heard about this brother and his voice- right before he hit it big time and he still continues to amaze me to this day.

I used to hang out a bit with some people at Hush Productions and they only had good things to say about this brother. And I agree with them-his talent is awesome! I also saw Freddie once, getting out of cab on 8th street in NYC a long time ago- and he had that star thing going then.




The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz) Overview


One of the premiere R&B balladeers of the past 20 years, Grammy-nominated Freddie Jackson rocks the night away on "Jazz Central." This rousing concert is jam-packed with wild surprises and romance as Jackson performs before a live audience at BET's Studio II in Washington, D.C. Songs: Nice 'n' Slow, Have You Ever Loved Somebody/Tasty Love, Jam Tonight, Love Me Down, Don't Let Love Slip Away, You Are My Lady, Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)


The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz) Specifications


With his church-derived tenor voice, his suave, onstage demeanor, and his excellent taste in clothes, Harlem-born vocalist Freddie Jackson was the most dominant black male singer in the '80s after Luther Vandross. His eclectic mix of sass and class is evident in his live shows and on his many singles, which were staples on the urban contemporary/quiet storm radio stations. On this Black Entertainment Television concert, Jackson struts his stuff for the ladies and delivers his best-loved hits, from the torchy and tempting "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" and "You Are My Lady," to the sophisticated funk of "Jam Tonight." Freddie Jackson is an animated performer, in complete control of himself and his appreciative audience. This concert, which also contains an intimate "Meet the Artist" interview segment, showcases the full range of Freddie Jackson's urbane artistry, and it proves that there's nothing more enduring than a well-written and well-performed love song. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Understanding structured notes for beginners

Assessment may be the creation of new music are the students. It seems written in his language, which may seem like you expect to be able to read the code. In a sense, yes. Note is one way that musicians can look at and say immediately what was written was the key, tempo and volume are playing in. If you know more about music and how it is viewed, so to start at the beginning and work your way through, onlyas you would when playing a song in the first place.

The first thing you need to know is the structure. While different pieces of music can have different parts that are the fundamental elements of the notes remain the same. The first part of this would be the staff. The staff includes not only the five lines that you see on paper. These include the four spaces between each of these lines. Correspond to each of the lines and surfaces with asingle note. You can find the other musical parts in different places among the staff.

To sign a key, time signature, key of one and then another mark that a certain rhythm or pitch, which is intended to be described. Each of them working together to sort the notes that are on staff and help build the piece of music for them. Now that the names of the different parts you can begin to understand theone is and what could be his goal. In the first part is the key icon.

The symbol key is through the voice that sings or your specific instrument determined. There are two different keys, high and low, the octave of notes that define you play or sing to. They also determine the notes played. The treble clef is the first, we will discuss. In particular for higher voices and instruments used, it seems something like a reverse-S, with a linecut in half vertically.

The lines of the treble clef staff can be easily saved by the use of an acronym. From bottom to top: Every Good Boy fine or EGBD and F. Spaces can be just as good, if not more Pinned: FACE or FAC and E. The bass clef is the second of two keys. E 'for instruments and voices, which are used in a much lower register. The acronym of the bass clef notes are easy to remember, like the treble clef. The lines are Good Boys DoEnd Always or GBDFA. The rooms are all cows eat grass, or ACE, and G.

The next part of learning the language of music you need is the key. This tells you what level you intend to use as a basis for your piece. The notes are marked so strong that, flat or natural, and this also applies to the whole song, unless the individual notes are marked otherwise. The last piece of the language is at the beginning of the piece, the timeSignature.

The signature lets you know how many notes you play each bar. A measure is part of the staff from other parts separated by vertical lines. The time measured is represented as an integer or a fraction. It is a 4 / 4 time signature as the default unless a different signature lists time horizon. There are several beats that the insertion can be used 6 / 8, 2 / 3 and 3 / 4.

Now you know the basics of the staff will do everything for youstart learning the basics of different types and length of time that should be maintained. Enjoy!

Instrumental, Vol. 2

Instrumental, Vol. 2 Review



This instrumental CD of Taize music is wonderful! Very soothing, very relaxing... although this CD includes many of the most familiar Taize hymns, I still wish Volume 3 would suddenly appear! And then Volume 4...
We're using Volume 2 to set the "mood" & encourage silence as people enter the church for our new Taize worship service. Most people attending have commented on how much they love the instrumental music. I highly recommend this CD for personal use as well as for group meditation/worship.




Instrumental, Vol. 2 Overview


Like its predecessor, Instrumental 2 is a recording of guitar and flute accompaniments designed to support communities and groups who have the desire to pray in song. Unlike the original Instrumental that mirrors the songs found on Laudate Omnes Gentes, this collection of 19 songs is a sampling of your favorite Taizé melodies from 11 of their most popular recordings.

Crazy Love

Crazy Love Review



What can I say about Michael Buble - he has the most mesmerizing voice of any male singer alive today. Elvis would be the only one to top him. This is becoming my favorite CD. AT THIS MOMENT is an old song - but I much prefer his rendition to the original. The emotion in his voice on these songs touch your heart - you can feel the pain and sincerity. I bought it on amazon and saved almost over the stores and got it the next day.




Crazy Love Overview


'Crazy Love', Michael Bublé's first CD in two and a half years, features two original songs along with his always original take on 11 standards from various eras. The multi-Grammy winning artist hunkered down in recording studios in LA, Brooklyn, New York and his hometown of Vancouver for the last six months to make his 'ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships.' The first single, 'Haven't Met You Yet,' written by Bublé (with Alan Chang and Amy Foster) is scheduled to be released to radio on August 31st. Additional tunes on the album include 'Cry Me A River,' 'You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You,' 'Georgia On My Mind' and 'Baby (You've Got What It Takes)' which was performed with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. The title song is a cover of the Van Morrison gem 'Crazy Love.' The CD closes out with a haunting version of 'Stardust' which is performed with the acapella group Naturally 7. The album was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica.

- Travel: Even if one of the most successful rock bands of recent decades has Journey is known for producing some music videos hurt themselves. If ever a fan of rock music most fanatical obsession that will be regularly making fools out of themselves as an air guitarist, then Journey's "Separate Ways" lovewith a vengeance.
