Musique

appreciation for the sounds, pronunciation, and musicality of the language. However, I did find the language she used and the tempo of the song challenging, and found I couldn’t really pick out enough words to try to get a feeling of what the song was about. It will be interesting to go back to the song at the end of the course and see if I can glean additional understanding. The second artist I looked at is a French artist named Camille Dalmais. She performs using just her first name, Camille. Born in 1978 in Paris, she is known for both pushing the envelope of her music as well as being a beloved household name in France. I picked a song from her 2005 album Le Fil. This particular album won 2005 album of the year at Victoires de la Musique awards, which is much like France’s Juno awards. I also found it interesting that the artist left a random B note thread throughout the entire album, which translated is titled “the thread.” I think that sort of clever play on both words and music is fantastic, and has obviously led to her music being beloved and culturally relevant. After listening to the album, my favourite song is Pâle septembre. I really enjoyed this song because it is much slower moving in comparison to the Coeur de Pirate song; which allowed me to really focus on the words she was singing. I found I could actually pick out some of the words as she worked through the various seasons in each verse. The song it’s self also seemed to be composed of…

I chose to discuss how Caroline Shaw’s Passacaglia piece exhibits characteristics from Edgard Varese’s piece even though the composers had different performance mediums. Throughout Shaw’s piece, you can hear a few characteristics of e experimentation. Shaw’s piece does not use a lot of synthesizers and is not a dramatic as Varese’s Poeme Electronique. Shaw uses some electronic sounds and characteristics of experiments within her piece, but her main sound was the use of whispers, shouts, and…

experience. With these outside people coming in to attend the festival it adds to the amount of people who attend and spend money in the city of Lafayette and it also allows for the Cajun culture to stay alive through spreading the culture to outside places. The festival is a celebration of the Cajun Créole culture itself; therefore keeping the culture alive will also keep the celebration alive allowing for the festival to continue. Festival Acadiens et Créole takes place every year since 1974,…

Although it’s legal under certain circumstances, we cannot neglect the fact the plagiarism by definition means to take somebody else's work or concepts and exploiting them as if it was your own. However, in some circumstances, it permits for a variety of genres of the same musical compositions, which will permit diverse communities to enjoy the same musical compositions in their preferred genre of music. There are pros and cons to this method; nonetheless, it cannot be denied that it is a crafty…

In order to express the religious principle of ruling as the divinely appointed hero, Louis XIV fostered a French renaissance by becoming the most important patron of the arts. One of his most important commitments as a patron of the arts and letters was his organization of the royal academies in Paris that promoted progress in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Louis intensified the social value of intellectual and artistic talent in France (Brennan 21). Among the academies opened were the…

Lully became so dominate because he was granted the exclusive right to produce operas in Paris. A patent was granted to him by the king to have control over all of the music that was being created. He produced a new opera every year, besides one where he created a smaller production, until his death. Most of his operas were librettos which he made in collaboration with his librettist, Philippe Quinault (Parker 36). When Lully achieved success with his setting of Quinault's Cadmus et Hermione, he…

Gabriel Faure was a French composer, organist, pianist and teacher. He was one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th-century composers and he was best known for his Requiem. Life and Music It would appear that Fauré’s exceptional gift for music was obvious to everyone except his father, Toussaint-Honore. Being musically inclined since early childhood, he turned his talent into profession and is remembered for his-well known piece…

Her style was thought to be strictly “salon style” music, which Ross indicates often came “…with implications of the sentimental and the second rate” (Ross, 91), but says later that “Ironically, the composer most celebrated for her [Chaminade] ‘musique du salon’ was no salon composer” (Ross, 100), because of her success, internationally and domestic, but may have been thought of that way due to her gender and propensity to write and perform for…

Just like any thing else in the world starting out small and getting bigger Festival Acadiens et Créole did just that. In 1974 the first event that took place to get the celebration of Cajun Créole culture rolling was the Festival de Musique that was a one-day event that took place to honor Cajun or Zydeoc music. Secondly the Bayou Food Festival was moved to allow the celebration or Cajun cuisine and Cajun music to be combined. The last piece of the puzzle that makes all three of these…
