.... Armstrong closed the book on the dynastic tradition in New Orleans jazz. The first true virtuoso soloist of jazz, Louie Armstrong was a dazzling improviser, technically, emotionally, and intellectually.

As you can see, both Franz Liszt and Kurt Cobain have some characteristics in common. They had both been hospitalized for an illness. However, one was physical while the other w .....

.... themes and sub themes have been created with specific ideas in mind and have been put in place only to add to the story and the characters. It is also important to acknowledge that the evolution into the type of film scoring that we are accustomed to today was not a quick or easy transition.

When the first moving pictures were seen they were known as silent films, although they were not actually silent. They contained a very primitive type of musical accompaniment that laid the foundation for what was to later develop. As .....

.... known as Paul, John, George and Ringo this music was more like the gateway from Elvis Presley to Jimi Hendrix. Known as the Beatles they stole the hearts of millions of teenage girls with songs such as Michelle and Julia. If you were lucky enough to have one of those names you were idolized for life.

.... with slight variations are often too insignificant for outside listeners to notice. In the Iroquois Quiver Dance the first thing to strike the ear is what is often known as a “call and response” form.

.... the scene and then were gone equally as fast. However, they were to have an impact on popular music that hadn't been felt since the Beatles. Although they weren't the first punk group, they definitely defined the genre in the popular sense. From their music come new wave, alternative, and grunge. Lyrically, the groups definitely differed. The Beatles compositions were quite eclectic, whereas the Sex Pistols tend to be all drawn upon their dissatisfaction with society. The majority of the Beatles songs were written by the awesome partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. All four members of the Sex Pistols are accredi .....
