What a Change!

   Music has been on earth throughout history for a long time, and has favored people all the way back to the cave people. In this post I'll be talking about how music from long ago and music today, and how they have changed. 

   Music from the time period of Mozart long ago to Modern Tech music today has changed so much. The era of music that Mozart was in, played soft music, with string instruments, such as the violin or the cello. The music usually had no singing in it, just the beautiful soft sounding music. Today if you crank up the radio to hear some music, you'll most likely hear some rap, pop, and hip hop, etc. genre of music. The main difference of music today and music from long ago, is the power of technology today. I'm pretty sure that the music Mozart composed and performed wasn't fixed with computers or fancy devices. The music was all played by the movements of their arms slashing their bow across the strings of the instrument they're playing. Famous artists today [some of them] use laptops, computers, etc. to add background music to their singing voices, some of the background music was probably made with technology.

    In class we did a mini lesson on how music changes. Our teacher gave us pieces of music from different time periods to listen to. We listened to many interesting pieces of music. The music time periods ranged from classical, jazz, rock, dub step, and all the way to pop. The time periods of the music we listened to had big gaps, since we skipped many years between classical and pop. Even though we skipped between the time periods of the music, it sounded like it could be a real song remixed and put all together to make a famous song.

   When I listened to the pieces of music, there was one big difference I noticed in the music. It was that the instruments in the music was changing dramatically. One minute I would be listening to the violin playing softly, and the next thing I knew I heard an electric guitar blasting out my eardrums, as the artist rocked out.

   I think that even though songs like what Mozart composed was long ago, it's still interesting to listen to, sometimes to relax I listen to music that was composed long ago.
