TO BEGIN WITH...

Does sadness or melancholy belong to music? Or must music always make you feel happy or glad?

This music is sad, because the notes are low-pitches and the melody is slowly.
I don't like it! 

PROJECT 2

- How would you describe the "program music"?

 It is music that aims provoke  ideas  in the mind of the  listener.  

- Choose one of the next examples (worked already a bit in Music classes)
and do some research about the composer.

I choose the Vivaldi´s Four Seasons. He called Antonio Lucio Vivaldi ( 1678,Venicia; Italy -1741,Viena;Australia). He was a famous composer and he played the violin.
He was a very good musician!

Do you believe the composer transmits the title meaning in a good manner?
Why?

Yes, because the composer  put the name the song in relation to what the song speaks.

PROJECT 1

- Which one do you prefer? Why?

I prefer  the Bruce Springsteen cover. Because I like him voice,and I like more the rhythm of this song than the rhythm of the others songs. 

- Who was Bob Dylan?

Is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s.

In Music classes I have told you about the sixties and the music of that period, including some videos. If you paid attention, you will be capable of writing down a summarize.

In 1960 there was a lot of racism and women didn´t have rights.
Highligted singers like Bob Dylan, The Beatles,The Rolling Stones...
There were hippies who were pacifits because they didn´t want more wars.
