Worlds greatest composers such as J S Bach , L V Beethoven, Mozart relied on the simplest system to compose the worlds greatest music from which the musicians in this era are inspired and influenced by. Even though a pencil and a paper was a bliss, musicians around the world today doesn't rely on it anymore.

...How Technology Changes Jazz Music Throughout history, jazz has been a crucial block in the establishment of music. Generations of artists found inspiration in each other’s work, and a variety of collection was thus created. Despite the varying styles in different artists’ work, the core of the music always belonged to the jazz genre. The genre of Jazz has evolved throughout the ages and a lot of that change wouldn’t be possible without the development and integration of new technology. Technological advances within Jazz music have allowed new instruments and computer equipment to emerge in Jazz music. This new knowledge has changed the genre in ways people never could have imagined. Things such as the radio and new recording methods were also apart of this new technology that allowed jazz music to change and improve. The phase of music that we are experiencing more of now is involving computers that allow the musicians to create synthesizers that weren’t possible before this new technology. “MARSALIS: Well, I'm not gonna put that on his head because he can do stuff Hendrix never thought of doing.” What Marsalis is talking about is the musical icon Prince and how you can’t compare him to Jimi Hendrix because technology was so different between their times. Jimi Hendrix came from a time where live music was the main way people could listen to their favorite artist. As the electric microphone made advances in its technology, it changed the development within the recording session...

...Philippe de Monte (1521 – 4 July 1603), sometimes known as Philippus de Monte, was a Flemish composer of the late Renaissance.[1] He was a member of the 3rd generation madrigalists[2] and wrote more madrigals than any other composer of the time.[3] Sources cite him as being "the best composer in the entire country, particularly in the new manner and musica reservata."[4] Others compare his collections of music with that of other influential composers, such as Lassus.[5] Philippe de Monte was born in Mechelen. After boyhood musical training at St. Rumbolds Cathedral in Mechelen, where he was a choirboy, Monte went to Italy — a common destination for a young Flemish composer in the sixteenth century — where he made a name for himself as a composer, singer, and teacher.[6] He lived and worked in Naples for a while, and in Rome, in the employ of Cardinal Orsini, although he was inEngland for a brief period, 1554–1555, during the reign of Queen Mary I, while she was married to King Philip II of Spain.[7] Monte reported that he disliked working in Philip's choir since all the other members were Spaniards.[8] "Though Monte was not likely to have been a supporter of the Reformation, he took part in a variety of intellectual exchanges on sensitive topics, some of which involved Italian academics."[9] In 1568 Monte was appointed as successor to Jacobus Vaet as Kapellmeister to the chapel of Maximilian II.[10] A majority of his music was published in Venice under the direction of Gardano...

...Articals The Advantages of Using Session Musicians on Your Song Demo Photo By Cliff Goldmacher Why do professional recordings sound, well . . . professional? There are a number of reasons, including high quality microphones, pre-amps, an experienced engineer and a well-designed studio space. But one of the single most important elements in a great-sounding, professional recording is the performance of the session musicians. There is a reason that the job of the session musician exists. It’s these musicians whose talent and studio experience contribute in a major way to the polished sound of a recording. Because there are different rules that apply when you’re recording an artist demo, I’m going to limit the scope of this article specifically to songwriting demos. Shouldn’t I Be Able To Do This Myself? While I am a big proponent of wearing as many hats as you can in your musical career, there are certain areas where it makes much better sense to rely on experts. First of all, it’s extremely important that you take ego out of the equation. There is no shame in having someone else play on your demo. Remember that a songwriting demo is supposed to put your song in the best possible light in order to “sell” it to prospective artists or place it in films and TV shows; it is not supposed to be proof of your studio musicianship. Recording your instrument in the studio requires an entirely different skill set than playing live. For lack of a better description, studio recording...

Instrumental versions by Dowland include Lachrimae for lute, Galliard to Lachrimae for lute and Lachrimae antiquae (1604) for consort. Dowland also published Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares (London, 1604), a collection of consort music which included a cycle of seven Lachrimae pavans based on the falling tear motif. Thomas Morley set the "Lachrimae Pauin" for the six instruments of a "broken consort" in his First Booke of Consort Lessons (London, 1599). Other composers have written pieces based on the work, including Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Thomas Tomkins, while John Danyel's Eyes, look no more pays clear homage to the piece, as does John Bennet's Weep, O Mine Eyes. In the 20th century, American composer and conductor Victoria Bond wrote "Old New Borrowed Blues (Variations on Flow my Tears)". Benjamin Britten quotes the incipit of Flow My Tears in his Lachrymae for Viola, a set of variations on Dowland's ayre If My Complaints Could Passions Move. In 2006, the British electronic music group Banco de Gaia produced a vocoded version called "Flow my Dreams, the Android Wept".

...Ross Simard Who is the greatest composer that has ever lived? That is a question that can lead to many debates and possibly arguments. There are as many great composers, each using the styles and methods of their time, that one will have a very difficult time naming one single composer the greatest throughout the history of music. Composers have come along that mastered the style of their era, and there have been composers that have broken down the barriers of what music, in their time, was supposed to be. There are those composers that had such an impact on music that their deaths have marked the end of that era of music. To name one single composer as being the greatest, would be like determining which grain of sand on the beach is the most important. They are all equally important to making the beach look as beautiful as it is. The composer that drew my attention was Johann Sebastian Bach. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest composers of his time. Throughout his lifetime, Bach was an outstanding organ player. Born in 1685 to musical parents, Bach was the youngest of eight children. His family was a musical family, so the young Bach was set off for a career in music from a young age. He learned to play the organ and harpsichord at an early age. His parents died when Bach was only ten years old. Fortunately enough for young Johann, he had a brother that took him in. His older brother, Johann Christoph, was able to further Bach’s musical...

...1827) BIOGRAPHY Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. He was the oldest of two brothers. His childhood consisted of endless piano practice forced upon him by his alcoholic father. If Ludwig made a mistake, his father would punish him. In 1782, Beethoven published his first work, 9 Variations in C minor for the piano on a march by Earnst Christoph Dressler. By the age of 12, he was providing for his family by playing the organ and composing music. In Bonn, he studied with Christian Gottlob Neefe.

His talent for creating original and eclectic pieces is impressive to say the least. His score for The World Ends With You exposes his genius for variety, with songs like "Long Dream," "Calling," and "Fighting For Freedom," funky, urban pieces that mix rock, rap, and dance beats. In contrast to this his work for Crisis Core is darker and more pensive, showcasing pieces like the acoustic "Under an Apple Tree," and the jammin' "Wandering in a Sunny Afternoon." And let's not forget his theme for Final Fantasy: Dissidia, an orchestrated bonanza or winds, percussions and brass. To be that diverse is impressive indeed. 9.

...Introduction Ludwig van Beethoven (17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German pianist and composer. He was a figure in Western art music in Classical to Romantic era transition. His Compositions He was taught music and often soundly beaten by his father Johann - a music teacher and by a fellow composer Haydn after he moved to Vienna in 1792. His hearing began to deteriorate in his mid-twenties, and by the last decade of his life he became almost totally deaf. He gave up performing and conducting in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from this period. His symphonies were composed as follows: Symphony 1 was composed in Key C, symphony 2 in key D, symphony 3 in Key E flat and titled “Eroica”. ”Eroica” helped redefine symphony as a genre of music. It was first performed in 1804. Symphony 4 was composed in Key B flat, symphony 5 in C minor, symphony 6 in Key F and titled “Pastoral”. Symphony 7 was composed in Key A. Symphony 8 was composed in Key F and symphony 9 in D minor and was titled, “Choral”. The ninth symphony included a chorus. It was very popular since it was with this symphony that a composer used choral voices in a major symphony. His opera was titled, “Fidelio”. It was composed in the ‘middle period’ of Ludwig’s career and it went on through many revisions and rewrites. By the time of his death, he had the following compositions: 1 Opera, 9 Symphonies, 31 orchestral works, 77 choral works, 87 Songs and 92 chamber pieces. He...

...Blood on the Leaves: Kanye West as a Contemporary “Jazz” Composer “Blood on the Leaves” by Kanye West – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9os5qNv_RI Kanye “Yeezy” West’s polarizing album “Yeezus” is a defining moment in the history of hip-hop. Kanye’s confrontational lyrics coupled with brash production work perfectly captures a sense of urgency. The urgency to redefine music as well as critically examine the world around us. With political undertones combined with the playfulness of hip-hop, Kanye’s frustration is captured as he weaves his way through the album. One of the stand-out tracks of this album is “Blood on the Leaves,” which juxtaposes varying ideas of slavery and explores what it means to be “enslaved.” Because the production of hip hop music is primarily created with the use of electronic musical instruments like Akai’s Music Production Controller (MPC), it is easier to “sample” music. Sampling music is based around the idea of taking certain sections of songs or sound recordings and reusing it to create a new song entirely. The sampling of primarily funk, soul, and jazz music in hip-hop is the direct result of the music lineage of African Americans in the twentieth century and therefore shares certain commonalities. The many overlaps between the genres in terms of style and lyrical content allows for these samples to coexist harmoniously in hip-hop tracks. Sampling is derived from the idea that referencing another artist will add to the potency of one’s music...
