pitch and tuning; also, many people were required to operate the bellows since
there were upwards of twenty-four bellows per organ (Hopkins & Rimbault 35).

Buffet's Maragaritaville, The Flamingo, the Garden District, and Moolate's all
helped me to get into the proper frame of mind of experiencing true Jazz. The
focus of this report will be on my life changing experience at a little place
known as The House of Blues. This amazing combination of bar and stage created
one of the most conducive atmospheres to music listening that I have ever been
inv .....

Words: 1014 / Pages: 4 .... 50's marked a beginning for a new era of music to be known as Rock &

Review Of Gyorgi Ligeti's Danse Macarbei
Words: 279 / Pages: 2 .... this piece, I certainly was wide
awake when it was over. Ligeti seems to have sculpted a piece together from bits
and pieces of other musical styles: a sort of modern-art approach to music. The

the later minutes, stomping along without any respect for the classical viol .....

Words: 1643 / Pages: 6 .... arousing such strong feelings in me, or is it merely the means to bring those emotions out of me? The beats don't have any sentience. It's driving, it's hard, and it sure as hell makes me want to get up and dance, but does house music have anything more than electronic beats at it's core? Coming from a HUGE househead, it's sad to admit....but the answer is definitively NO. Let's forget the specific genre of house music. Is any type of electronic music based on more than samples and beats? Well...thanks to one innovative performer, that answer may just be YES.
