Chapter 1: The Power of Music

The Power of Music: “To control the people, control the music” -Plato Why do you listen to music? What role does music play in your life? How do you listen to music?* Why is music so universally appealing? How would YOU define music? Why is music so appealing? What is its attraction? Does it perpetuate the human species?

What is Music? MUSIC: The rational organization of sounds and silences passing through time Sound: – Created by soundwaves – the vibrations that reflect slight differences in air pressure – Speed of the vibration determines whether pitches are low or high

Music and Your Brain Our inner ear transforms soundwaves into electrical signals that goes to various parts of the brain that analyze particular components of the sound: pitch, color, loudness, duration and how music makes us feel

Listening to Music 1870’s: Wax cylinders 1940’s: Vinyl records 1960’s: Cassette tape; Eight track 1990’s: CD’s 1990’s: MP3 and M4A files

Classical Music “High art” or “learned” music Timeless qualities Emphasizes instrumental music Precise notation Acoustic instruments Lengthy and varied in mood Abstract sound patterns Popular Music Appeals to a large population Contemporary issues of life Emphasizes vocal music Electrically amplified instruments Short and conveys a single mood  Emphasis on the beat

Four Notes that Changed the World Listen to the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony Listen for the ever-changing appearance of the four-note motive – Motive: a short, distinct musical figure Symphony: an instrumental genre for orchestra Movement: a large independent section of a major instrumental work

If you thought Classical Music was for wimps, think again!! Listen to "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss Listen for a gradual transition from the nothingness of murky darkness, to shafts of light (trumpets), and finally to the incandescent power of the full symphony Does this piece sound familiar to you? What does it make you think of?
