... The conflict between the ideal of pure instrumental music (absolute music) as the ultimate Romantic mode of expression, and the strong literary orientation of the 19th century, was resolved in the conception of program music. Program music, as Liszt and others in the 19th century used the term, is music associated with poetic, descriptive, and even narrative subject matter. This is done not by means of musical figures imitating natural sounds and movements, but by imaginative suggestion. Program music aimed to absorb and transmit the imagined subject matter in such a way that the resulting work, although "programmed", does not sound forced, and transcends the s ...

... the very beginning, RVW puts the key signature of this movement into doubt. The movement opens with a horn call in D, set against a firm base (or bass?) of octave C's. Could it be that in the great traditions of British musical 'amateurism', RVW got his transposition wrong? Or is this a deliberate feature of the music, intended to blur the tonality? Musicologists prefer the latter explanation. This is by no means an unusual feature of his music, when he was asked what the 4th symphony was about, RVW replied "It is about F-minor", alluding to his sometimes hazy tonalities, often augmented by his use of modal, mainly pentatonic melodies, which, with no leading note ...

To start of with some other bills that were found on his account in 1995 were rental fees for condos and homes. Charged with more than $120,000 in rental cost for a Malibu home that was actually occupied by Kenner. Complaints by Afeni, Tupacs mother, were that Kenner failed to protect the interests of Tupac.

In 1996 rent totaling $57,600 was charged to Tupac for a Wilshire B ...

... for the concert on Tuesday morning and we arrived in the city at about noon. My uncle drove me and my cousin Edward up. We bummed around the city for a while and then we went to Jen's place where we were staying. There were a few other people from Inverness staying there as well. My uncle, Edward and I left for the concert at around quarter to seven. We kind of got lost. We got to the show at around seven thirty. While we were in line waiting to get in I could here the band that was performing. It was then that I realized what I was about to experience. I stumbled to my seat, half looking a my feet, half looking at the band on stage. I can't remembe ...

... in 1939. By 1945, Monroe's band included Earl Scruggs, who popularized the characteristic three-fingered banjo picking style, guitarist Lester Flatt, and fiddler Chubby Wise. The Scottish-Irish music of southern Appalachia was a powerful form of entertainment as folks gathered in the evenings to dance and socialize. It was what people back then loved. The people back then probably looked at bluegrass music in the same manner as I look at alternative music today. It was just a style of music that they could relate to and express some of their ideas through. Bluegrass spread when Appalachians fled to the cities after the war to find work. These peo ...

... usually given in inches, the first measurement would be the depth of the shell and the second measurement would be the diameter. Every drum has a batter head wich is struck by either a stick or a foot pedal. If a second head is used at the other end of the drum it is called a resonator head. Lets start with the bass drum. THE BASS DRUM The bass drum is obviously the bass or low pitch drum in the set. The bass drum is set on the floor with the batter of the drum facing vertically so that a foot pedal may be used to hit the drum. The standard depth of a bass drum shell is 14" and standard shell diameters range anywhere from 18"-26". During the history of the drumse ...

Sure enough, the boys deliver on the promise of that title, creating a miserable mishmash of Nirvana in a soft mode, Zeppelin playing "Kashmir" on a bad drug day, even throwing in a little flatulent. Yes-ish prog-rock to boot, all of which staggers around a bit and then proceeds to fall flat on its sunburnt face. Silverchair's leader Daniel Johns has been thinking long and hard about what's happening today, and through he's made a killing off the record biz and never has to work another day in his life, he's decided to lead a youth revolt against "overweight people in suits": hence, "Anthem For the Year 2000," complete with a Siverchai ...
