One song that is closely associated with my ethnicity is the Hebrew song of “Hatikvah,” meaning “hope.” Hatikvah was written as a poem in the 19th century by poet Naftali Herz Imber, and is therefore associated with the Romantic period. This song is the official national anthem for the State of Israel, as well as […]

The genre that I chose for my ethnicity is K-Pop, or Korean Pop. K-Pop originated in the early 90’s and gained popularity since the 2000’s. Starting then, it has been steadily growing into a “global phenomenon”. K-pop uses a wide variety of instruments, musical components, and dances, making each and every song unique. In the […]

This being, I am very fond of the orchestra sound and the way the instruments in unison resonate through the […]

As an audience member I personally would be more comfortable within the Jazz club as its music that I would more commonly listen too. The one that i would be least comfortable with is the Chamber music recital because it feels more intense and that anything could easily disturb them because there are less instruments […]

Based on personal preference I would feel the most comfortable as an audience member attending a Jazz Club. While watching the Music in Concert Video lectures the ambiance of a jazz club seemed the most appealing to me. Cornelius Steven states that “harmonies… are simultaneously lush and dissonant” this means that there is a combustion […]
