GOTHIC ROCK

PROJECT III

1) What period does the Middle Ages cover?

 The Middle Ages cover one thousand years, from 476 to 1492

2) What general characteristics does it have (according to the teacher’s comments)?

People sang in the street and in churches. In churches and cathedrals they sang Gregorian Chants. Social classes were divided in privileged (kings, nobility and clergy) and not privileged.

3) What is the main difference between “troubadours” and “minstrels”?

A minstrel was travelling artist, they offered his street show in exchange for money or food, sometimes they participate as entertainment at banquets.

Troubadours were musicians and poets who composed their works.

4) Pay attention to these two monuments (a Romanic church and a Gothic cathedral). What do their different heights have in common with the music evolution of those centuries?

In the Romanic churches the pitch was high and in the Gothic cathedrals was low.

5) What do you feel looking at these pictures (taken from the 19^th century but directly linked to the Middle Ages)? In your own opinion, what kind of music could accompany these images?

I feel the effort and sacrifice rewarded of the soldier with the first one and I accompanied  with victory music, the second one I feel relax and I accompanied with a relaxing music and the third one I feel romanticism and I accompanied a harp music.

6) Why does Heavy Metal music love this aesthetic? 

Because they are very gothic.

PROJECT II

Program Music.
Program music is the music that builds ideas and images in the mind of the listener, musically reprenting a scene, image or mood.

Vivaldi.

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was a composer, violinist, teacher and Venetian Catholic priest of the Baroque. He was nicknamed "Il prete rosso" for being a priest and readhead. He had reinvented the genre of the concert, the most important of his time. He composed more than 770 pieces, the most famous are The Four Seasons, a serie of concerts for violin and orchestra.







Morning Mood
I think the composer transmits the title meaning in a good manner because somehow i relate the melody of music with the morning. I would like to wake up every day with that music, it transmits good mood to me.

PROJECT I

Blowing in the wind. New stanzas. (In group: Diego Nieto, Pablo Iglesias, Daniel Tendero)

How many times must your family lie

Before you learn the true

How many wars must a soldier resist

Before he leaves his job

How many cokes can a man drink

Before he has diabetes

How many games must students play in class

Before the teacher comes

How many leaves can trees drop down

Before the autumn comes

How many days can we feel sad

Before the war has come

Which video do you prefer? Why?

The one that i prefer is the Bob Dylan one, because i am used to listening the Bruce Springting one and i think Bob Dylan is better singer than Bruce Sprinting. I have never listened before the original one and i like it more.

Who was Bob Dylan?

Bob Dylan, registered at birth as Robert Allen Zimmerman, is an American musician, composer, singer and poet, widely regarded as one of the most prolific and influential figures in popular music of the 20th century and early 21st century. Also, he was born the same day as i, May 24Th.




Sixties


In the sixties an never-seen before hippie counter-culture appeared through the United States, inciting both the flower power movement as well as a general revolution of more straigh-lace americans. Then talking about music, the most referent musician, song writer, singer and american poet was Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan took the folk music roots and started doing protest lyrics against war and consumption. The movement started to grow around USA and expanded through the world, then hippies appeared all around the world and musicians of different countries started composing protest and reactionary music.
