Evgerard Music

The music that composers make can be heard by various means; The most traditional way is to listen to it live, in the presence of musicians (or as one of the musicians) in an interior or exterior space like an amphitheater, a concert hall, a cabaret of life or theater. Since the 20th century, live music can also be transmitted via radio, television or Internet, or recorded and played on a CD player or MP3 player. Some musical styles focus on producing a sound for a performance, while others focus on producing a recording that mixes sounds that are never played “live” source. This often uses the possibility of editing and splicing to produce recordings that can be considered “better” than actual performance.

Technology has had an influence on music since prehistoric times, when people used the caves of simple tools to drill holes in bone flutes 41,000 years ago. Technology has continued to influence music throughout the history of music, as it has allowed the use of new tools and systems of reading musical notation, one of the notable moments of musical notation the invention of music In the 14th century, more time had to be copied by hand. In the 19th century, music technology led to the development of a more powerful, piano forte and led the development of new brass valves. In the early twentieth century (late 1920s), as images emerged in the early twentieth century, with their pre-recorded music tracks, a growing number of film orchestra musicians found themselves out of work. During the 20 live musical performances by orchestras, pianists and theater organists, they were common in first-time theaters. With the advent of talking movies, the shows presented were largely eliminated. The American Federation of Musicians (AFM) has published announcements in the newspapers to protest against the replacement of musicians with mechanical devices. A 1929 announcement appeared in the Pittsburgh press presents an image of a box called “Canned Music / Big Noise Brand / Guaranteed to produce an intellectual or emotional reaction”

Since legislation to help protect performers, composers, publishers and producers, including the 1992 US Home Audio Recording Act and the revised Bern Convention for the Protection of Works was introduced Literary and artistic in the UK, have also become more accessible through computers, devices and the Internet in a form that is commonly known as music on demand.

In many cultures, there is less distinction between reading and listening to music, since almost all are involved in a kind of musical activity, often communal. In industrialized countries, listening to music through recording, such as sound recording or watching a music video format, became more frequent than the experience of shows in the mid-20th century.

Sometimes performances incorporate prerecorded sounds. For example, a disc jockey uses a disc to pitch, and some works of the twentieth century have one for an instrument or voice that is performed with music that pregrabó on a tape. Computers and many keyboards can be programmed to produce and play music from Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI). The public can also become artists by participating in karaoke, an activity of Japanese origin centered on a device that plays songs vocal versions eliminated known. Most karaoke machines also have video screens showing the lyrics of the songs that are made; The performers can follow the lyrics they sing on the instrumental tracks.

In music, an “ornament” is a decoration for a melody, bass line or other musical part. The detail explicitly included in musical notation varies between genres and historical periods. In general, the musical notation of the art of the seventh-twentieth requires artists to have a great knowledge of the context on the styles of performance. For example, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, music for solo artists generally indicated a simple, unadorned melody. However, it was expected that artists would know how to add stylistically appropriate ornaments to add interest to music, such as trills and turns.

In the nineteenth century, art music for solo artists can give a general instruction, and play expressive music, without describing in detail how the artist should do. It was expected that the performer would know how to use tempo changes, emphasis and pauses (among other features) to achieve this “expressive” performance style. In the 20th century, musical notation of art often became more explicit and used a range of marks and annotations to tell performers how to play or sing the piece.

In popular music and jazz, musical notation almost always indicates that the basic framework of melody, harmony, or approach to performance; Musicians and singers are expected to know the performance conventions and styles associated with specific genres and pieces. For example, the “lead sheet” for a jazz air can only indicate melody and chord changes.It is expected that the jazz ensemble performers will know how to “translate” this basic structure by adding ornaments, music Improvised and accompanying agreements.

Performance is the physical expression of music, which occurs when a song or when a piece of piano, electric guitar melody, symphony, drums or other musical part is played by singing musicians. In classical music, a musical work is written in musical notation of a composer, and then performed once the composer is satisfied with its structure and instrumentation. However, as it is done, the interpretation of a song or piece can evolve and change. In classical music, instrumental artists, singers or conductors can gradually make changes in the phrasing or tempo of a piece. In popular and traditional music, artists have much more freedom to make changes in the form of a song or piece. As such, in popular music styles, even if a band plays a cover song, they can make changes in it, such as adding a guitar solo or inserting an intro.

A show can be planned and repeated (practiced), which is the norm in classical music with jazz big bands and many styles of improvised music popularly or on a chord progression (a sequence of chords), which is the Standard in a small jazz and blues. Orchestral rehearsals, concerts and choirs are conducted by a conductor. Rock, blues and jazz are usually run by the leader of the band. An essay is a structured repetition in a song or a piece of performers until it can be sung and / or reproduced correctly and, if a song or piece for more than one musician, until The parts are together from a rhythmic and tuning point of view. Improvisation is the creation of an idea – a musical melody or other Musical line – created in situ, often based on pre-existing scales or melodic riffs.

Many cultures have strong traditions of solo performance (in which a singer or performer performs), as in classical Indian music and western musical tradition of art. Other cultures, such as Bali, include strong traditions of group performance. All cultures include a mix of both, and performances can range from improvised solo play to highly planned and organized the modern classical concert, religious processions, classical music concert festivals or music contests. Chamber music, which is music for a small ensemble with only a few of each type of instrument, is often considered more intimate than great symphonic works.

Harmony refers to the “vertical” sounds of musical ringtones, which means that the sounds are played or sung together at the same time to create a chord. Usually, this means that notes are played simultaneously, although harmony can also be implied by a melody that describes a harmonic structure (ie, using the notes of the melody are played one after the other, describing the notes Notes of an agreement). In writing with the major tonal-minor system (“keys”), which includes most of the classical music written 1600-1900 and most pop, rock and traditional Western music, the key music of a Piece determines the scale used, the “note of the house” or tonic of the key. Simple classical and pop songs and traditional music many songs are written so that all music is a key. More songs and pieces of classical music, pop and complex traditional music can have two keys (and in some cases, three or more keys). Classical music from the romantic era (written 1820-1900) usually contains several keys, such as jazz, especially the bebop jazz of the 1940s, in which the key or note of a song can change every four bars or Even both bars.
Rhythm is the arrangement of sounds and silences in time. Encourages the meter time of groups of regular pulses, called bars or bars, which in the west, folk and traditional classical music notes often grouped two by two (eg 2/4 of time), three (Eg 3/4) times, or 8/3 of the time) or four (eg 4/4). Counters are made easier to hear because songs and songs often (but not always) focus on the first time of each group. There are notable exceptions, as used in a pop backbeat and western rock, in which a song that uses a measure consisting of four times (called 4/4 or common time) will have accents on two and four beats, Which are usually by the drummer on the snare drum, a strong and distinctive percussion instrument. In pop and rock, the rhythmic parts of a song are played by the rhythm section, which includes instruments playing chords (eg, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano or other keyboard instruments), an instrument Under certain styles as jazz and bluegrass, bass) and a drum kit.
