What music would you suggest for a project for the book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck?
I need some music for a school project. What music would you suggest that I use for a podcast for the book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck? something from 1930- 1939 (I need music from pre-World War II because the book was published in 1937 and the war was in 1939 so I need it to make sense)
Something rural and acoustic; not jazz or blues (too urban and black-identified for the California redneck setting)
One idea is something like the Carter Family (although, it would be a little misplaced, since they are Appalachian, but the time period would fit, and they have a rustic, rural, poor Depression-era sound).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter_Family
However, I’d go with something by the folk-blues acoustic guitarist John Fahey. It’s solo acoustic guitar, very rustic, and he covers many old songs from the time period. I recommend the album “Death Chants, Breakdowns, and Military Waltzes” His best albums were recorded in the 60’s, and included many traditional songs from the 30’s and earlier.
The term “art appreciation” is one that is heard quite often, and most colleges and universities offer a course or a series of courses under that name. But how does one “appreciate” art? For that matter, how does one appreciate opera or classical music? Most people would be able to recognize the inherent beauty of these art forms even if they lacked an in-depth knowledge of them. But with greater understanding of these subjects, the more your enjoyment of these art forms can increase, and fine art is no different.
To explain how one can enjoy a greater familiarity with art, I’m going to take a different approach than I usually do: I shall teach by example, using a painting that is well known to everyone, Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” or “La Gioconda,” as the painting is known to the Italians. I have had the rare fortune of seeing Leonardo’s famous painting in the Louvre Museum in Paris; it is arguably the most renowned work of art in the world.
When introduced to the Mona Lisa at the age of eighteen, I have to admit that I was not as impressed by it as I should have been; after having viewed the Baroque spectacle of the Rubens Room, with its huge tumultuous canvases, Leonardo’s small, quiet panel was something of a disappointment to me. Perhaps I can be excused for this, given my youth and the fact that this painting has suffered from considerable overexposure in modern times. Fortunately my opinion of Leonardo’s painting improved over the years as I learned more about art in general and Leonardo’s work in particular. And this is a fine example of how deepening my understanding of art allowed me to revise my attitude about this remarkable painting.
The Mona Lisa is a small easel painting, approximately 18 inches by 24 inches, done in oil paint on a wooden panel. Commissioned by the sitter’s husband, a Florentine merchant named Francesco del Giocondo, the artist worked on the portrait from 1503 to 1506, taking it with him from Italy when he traveled to France to join the court of King Francis I. Like most of Leonardo’s work, it remains unfinished.
When I look at reproductions of the Mona Lisa today, the first thing that I notice is the soft and gentle rendering of the forms, created by Leonardo’s “sfumato,” an Italian term that refers to the gentle transition between light and dark. This effect was made possible by the use of oil paint, still relatively new at the time, rather than the more traditional tempera. This, along with the muted color scheme and the strange landscape in the background, gives the composition an air of mystery and subtle drama.
The figure of the woman is characterized by obvious grace and beauty, and the gentle melancholy of her eyes is reinforced by the famous “smile that doesn’t smile.” One side of her mouth is higher than the other, giving an ambiguous expression. This is also found in the face of St. Anne in Leonardo’s “The Virgin and Child with St. Anne,” also in the Louvre. In fact, St. Anne bears a noticeable resemblance to Mona Lisa, suggesting that the artist was painting an archetypal female, rather than a portrait of a specific individual. This may have been why the portrait was rejected by the lady’s husband.
The landscape in the background seems less realistic than one would expect from Leonardo, considering that his scientific study of the natural world combined with his artistic sensibility made him a master of landscape. This is instead a dream world, with winding roads overshadowed by dark cliffs and a sense of foreboding, a world both graceful and turbulent. Along with its atmosphere of mystery, it is also a land that is devoid of human beings; we see evidence of Man’s activity, such as the roads and the aqueduct, but not Man himself. A welcoming world this is not; contemporary accounts describe Leonardo as reserved and secretive, and undoubtedly the cold world that Mona Lisa inhabits reflects the wariness that the artist felt towards his own society. And as every work that an artist undertakes is a portrait of his own psyche, the contrast between the serenity and elegance of the woman with the ominous background may reflect the duality of Leonardo’s soul; the reserved and dignified exterior, concealing the turmoil within.
The Mona Lisa represents Leonardo’s mature style, and was imitated by many of his pupils and later artists; none of these efforts could equal that of the master himself. Perhaps only Raphael, with his unsurpassed ability to absorb the influence of other artists, realized the grace and refinement of Leonardo’s style without resorting to mere imitation. For five hundred years the Mona Lisa has been seen as a consummate example of the power of the painter’s craft; its ability to engage and enthrall generations of admirers is unequaled, and the mystique that surrounds this painting is matched only by the brilliance of the man who conceived it.
As you can see, the previous six paragraphs constitute a critical appraisal of the Mona Lisa, and it will be evident that my perceptions of this painting are highly personal. Each individual will be affected differently by this marvelous painting, and this is the way it should be. Every work of art is a personal experience; a way for the viewer to find his own answers to the questions that the artist poses. The viewer is not a passive participant; the viewer is as much a part of the artist’s work as any element on the canvas itself. To this end, the artist should never make his message too explicit: it is left to the viewer to complete the painting.
One can also make a more technical assessment of an artwork, taking into consideration such things as design, composition, technique, color and medium, and how the artist used these to convey his idea to the viewer. To evaluate a work of art in this manner requires a familiarity with those subjects, and I have written about some of these topics in previous articles. It is also helpful to know something about the life and personality of the artist, as well as the time period and the society in which he lived. These factors have a major impact on the artist’s style, subject matter and technique; understanding these considerations gives us a sense of how the artist viewed the world around him, and perhaps how he viewed himself.
No single work of art exists in isolation: it must always be viewed along with the rest of the artist’s body of work, and within the broader history of art itself. An acquaintance with other examples of the artist’s work allows us to see how his ideas and style evolved over time; also by gaining an insight into one work by the artist we may better understand another. We also need to see how the artist’s work fits into the larger context of art: how he was influenced by his contemporaries; how his work was influenced by earlier artists; and how subsequent artists were themselves influenced by his art.
The impact that the artist’s work makes on the viewer validates the efforts of the artist; a painting that has no effect on anyone is a failure. As a teenager, standing before Leonardo’s small painting, I could appreciate its obvious greatness. Nonetheless, my ignorance allowed me to miss a great deal of what it had to offer. As I expanded my knowledge and familiarity with art, I was able to correct that unfortunate situation and to see the Mona Lisa for the treasure that it is. I hope that my experience with this legendary painting will help you to undergo that same transformation, not only in regard to the Mona Lisa, but with the whole of the world’s legacy of fine art.

Charles Griffith’s interest in art began in childhood, and was encouraged by his family. Later, while serving in the U.S. military in Europe, he was inspired by seeing firsthand some of the treasures of European art. Today his art focuses on traditional realism, often with elements of Expressionism and Surrealism.
Birds whistle a happy tune
Yet apocalypse is in torn ruin
As you sit in the crimson abyss
Not a world for you to miss
Yet the birds still sing a cheerful song
Something surely must be wrong
As darkness spirals out of control
Chaos corrupts this world in full
And the birds are in the symphony
Hanging there, right on the tree
Enveloped in darkness from ear to ear
Nothing creeps in darkness but fear
Despair seems to run out of light
The birds never seem to give up the fight
Yet this cruel infestation looks into you
And the birds look past this trembling world
But the birds know they will not be harmed
By the passing jokers, and hellions
As they light up the tiniest corner of hell
This light we all can carry in our pocket
And the music brings the world back to life…
the ups and downs
as life keeps going
along cheerfully
but the misery that
is ignored
music is the best
way to drowned the world.

How To Get More Plays On Your music Site To Get Noticed By Record labels And Get More Fans
Already on MySpace? Want to get more plays on your songs and rise to the top of the charts? Want to get your music heard by important record label executives and hundreds and possibly millions of people all over? In order to get more plays on your songs on your MySpace music site, you have to do a few things. Just like the top artists at the major record labels, running a consistent promotional campaign is key.
To be successful, you’ll have to maintain consistency to be sure your music gets attention, stands out, gets you the maximum number of listens, and reaches the most people in your MySpace fan base. Most importantly, you have to make sure that anyone who comes to your MySpace music page is listening to your music and telling their friends to come to your page to listen to your music. This shows those big music executives that your music is worth listening to, and that millions of people everywhere are doing just that — listening to it.
To keep new fans coming in on a regular basis, you’ll need to make sure that you are uploading different songs regularly. Keep updating your blog with stories about your music and funny or outrageous adventures, and keep rotating the profile picture on your MySpace music site. It’s something different that is going to get your page noticed over the rest of the musicians out there. Something new will have your fans returning to your page to read your band updates, look at your recently updated pictures, and tell their friends about your most recent awards, tour dates, or concert venues. Don’t be afraid to promote, promote, promote yourself to radio stations, news stations, and other media outlets like magazines or morning shows to get your sound heard. Let them know about how many plays and Views you are getting.
The benefits of getting more hits on your music site and more plays on your own songs is the draw of big record executives; they want to know that your music is popular and that you are bringing in a wide variety of fans. The more plays you have, the more attention you will get. It’s that simple. It’s the number one factor that will drive your name to the top of the MySpace music charts. Fortunately TuneBoom Pro offers many services that were once only available to the major artist and labels at a affordable fee. They even offer a new reliable D0-It-Yourself software and prompt attentive customer service.
If you have a lot of friends, it’s only really useful if your music is getting at least as many plays as would be natural. If you have 50 plays on each of your four songs, there’s a good chance that having 157,983 friends isn’t going to get you very far with the record labels. There isn’t a large chance of being noticed by a label.
In addition, don’t forget to auto play your song list so that each of your songs gets an equal amount of playing time. A listener is likely to let the list play if you have the songs automatically play instead of having to hit the play button on each song title after the last one stops.
When you put up a new song, design a press release to let your fans know about it. Remember, the more people that come to your page, the more likely it will be that your music will receive more plays. If someone likes what he or she hears, they could play a song on repeat and up that count to more than one per person. And if there are hundreds of people out there that want to listen to your most recent ear-catching tune, the number of plays could rise steadily up and up until success is inevitable.

Also, if there is anything anyone knows on scales (major and minor patters)
Triads(identify chords with root, the inversion and whether its major or minor)
Thanks all! have a good day
I want to add to the previous answer. Cut Time is in reference to a specific time signature: 2/2. The name is derived from taking the typical time signature 4/4 and “cutting it in half”. It’s used primarily in fast sections of pieces.
A major scale is any 7-note scale created using the following intervals: major second, major second, minor second, major second, major second, major second, minor second. For example, C-D-E-F-G-A-B.
A minor scale is any 7-note scale created using the following intervals: major second, minor second, major second, major second, minor second, major second. For example: C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb. Typically the 7th scale step (Bb in this example) is raised to a B-natural to create what we call a leading tone, because it “leads” to the tonic note C. Raising it to B-natural also gives it the unique “minor” sound we associate with minor music.
Triads are major if they include a major third and a minor third in that order. For example, C-E-G
Triads are minor if they include a minor third and a major third in that order. For example, C-Eb-G
A chord is in root position if the C in the preceding examples is found in the bass part. If any other note of the chord is found in the bass part, it is in the inversion. For example a D major chord in first inversion would have an F# in the bass (with the D and A found in other parts). We would notate that D^6 because the F# is 6 scale steps from D. If the A is in the bass, it is notated as D^65 because the A is 5 scale steps below the root of the chord. You leave the six in there because the A is also, consequently, 6 scale steps below the F#.
