So you could do mgk and Eminem (that you talked about on the album chat) to compare it to another beef like how they attack people personally, talk about family, white rappers compared to black rappers, whatever makes sense
Try to provide two quotes from the readings in the response
Hello, I need help understanding basic music theory. Can someone explain melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, and chords with simple examples? Thank you.
Select a composer, artist, or band/group who has made significant cultural contributions with

Analyze 2 pieces of music using the Listening Journal Analysis Questions document (included
in the Listening Journal Resources section of the assignment page). You only need to answer
one question per element of music for your analysis, but you need to include an analysis of all of
the following elements: melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, texture, form, and dynamics for each
piece analyzed. Your two selected pieces for analysis should not be the same as those discussed
and analyzed in a Directed Listening Guide in the course textbook. You can analyze a different
piece by the same composerjust not the same piece.

After exploring jazz through sources like NPR and Jazz at Lincoln Center, and practicing how to identify musical elements such as melody, rhythm, texture, and form this semester, you will now apply these listening skills to crossover artists. I have included 2 artists, Wynton Marsalis (jazz and classical) and Jon Batiste (Jazz, Pop, and blending classical). Consider how crossover artists like Wynton Marsalis and Jon Batiste blend jazz with other genres using musical elements, changing across styles, as well as similarities and differences you hear compared to traditional jazz.
Discuss and analyze some of your favorite crossover artists, specifically artists who blend jazz with other genres using your current expertise in understanding musical elements as well as listening skills, developed while exploring jazz during this course.

Is it possible to separate art from the artist? Should we separate them?
What would make you stop consuming an artists work?
Without thinking about it, we listen to music, watch movies/TV, and/or enjoy visual arts from not only people who are benevolent, charitable, and generally good-natured, but also people who are greedy, abusive, hateful, violent, and more; yes, that includes Christian artists. Where is your ‘line in the sand’? Do you find Elvis Presleys and Jerry Lee Lewiss physical relationships with minors unacceptable enough to stop listening to their music (they are just two examples of many)? Do antisemites like Richard Wagner break a moral barrier for you?
Part 1: Find at least one specific example of a musician who has admitted to, been convicted of, or credibly accused (i.e., not on social media or a blog) of behavior that you find objectionable enough to stop consuming their art. Provide your source(s).
Guidelines:
Part 2: Whenever we make such moral judgments, we often unknowingly contradict ourselves.
Think about the following questions to prompt your answer:
-Are you giving someone a pass? Why?
-Where are your convictions inconsistent?
-Think about why icons such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Jonny Cash, and countless others get a pass, but we cancel people who do things like support social ideas with which we disagree.
-We listen to the music of James Brown and John Lennon despite both being domestic abusers, substance addicts, adulterers, and more, but we then reject music with lyrics that trouble us.
-To whom do you give a pass, and how does that align with your Christian faith (or belief system, if you are not a Christian)?

write a 1-2 page report (double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman or equivalent) about the concert. Include as much as you can, such as…
–Texture and recognizable form of the music (to the best of your ability)
–Instruments played (if any) // If voice, note any differences in the language of the songs
–Tonality: did the music generally have a key center? Or, was the music atonal (nearly lacking in a key center…could you sing along to it?)
–Any noticeable contrast between pieces and songs
–Stage presence of the performer (e.g. Did they move a lot? Stand? Sit still? Were they generally loud or soft in style? Timid or bold? These are all things you can observe while watching and listening to the performers)
–Program notes: did the performer provide any to guide the listener? Did they talk in between pieces? Was any context and a historical background given before a piece was played?
There is more that you can write beyond this, but this should serve as a starting point.
