西方音乐的文化精神

文艺复兴时是古典主义音乐.这是一个相当不明确的词,它有几种不同而又相关的含义.一种不很恰当的用法是将它指流行音乐以外的音乐,包括所有种类的严肃音乐,不管它是何时创作的以及为什么目的而写的.而此处我们所指的是...

Music in the Western Culture is the result of various influences, including the formalization of improvised traditions; the growth of notation; the development of tuning systems; the treatment of text; innovative approaches to form; the role of patronage; the absorption of various cultures into the style; the growth of technology; investigations of performance practice; and various other factors.
Western music also benefits from various dualities: sacred and secular traditions; monophonic and polyphonic textures; conservative and progressive tendencies; popularism and elitism; canon and non-canonic works; and other polarities. The western tradition is complicated by these various influences and perspectives, and formal musicological study often becomes a point of departure for other, more individualized investigations of music.
Blues and jazz became very popular in the twentieth century. A person who “sings the blues” feels sad. Usually , he or she lost something-a person or maybe money or a job. Blues express sad feelings, sometimes in a funny way. People played blues first with only one or two instruments, for example, a guitar, a harmonica, or sometimes a piano. Sometimes they sang without any instruments. Some famous blues musicians are Bessie Smith, John Lee Hooker ,etc.
Jazz came soon after blues. Composers added more musical instruments. Jazz can be happier and is often faster. Some famous jazz musicians are Duck Ellington, Louis Armstrong, etc.
Rock and Roll
Rock and roll came from jazz and blues during the 1950s. One of the first rock and roll songs was Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock.: One of the first very famous rock and roll singers was Elvis presley. Others were Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. Now , almost every country has many rock and roll bands and singers. Sometimes performers call their music by different names, like “rap” or “punk” . They sing and play mixtures of rock and roll and talking or other sounds. “Rap” and “punk” both came from rock and roll or “rock music”.
Country Western Music
Country western music is very old. It came form the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Great Britain. Country western music is a mixture of music from all of these places.
In the American West , cowboys had to take care of the cattle. They had to watch them all day and all night because the cattle were nervous and sometimes ran away. A cowboy’s life was lonely and dangerous. When he was alone in the desert with cattle, he drank strong coffee with lots of caffeine to stay awake at night . He also sang music to the castle to calm them. He sang about the stars and the moon, about his family and his friends. The cattle listened to the cowboy and went to sleep. They did not run away if he sang beautiful , peaceful music.
Country western music describes life . It talks about love, jobs home, and money. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and highways , farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country western music because everyone knows something about these ideas. Also many country western music fans wear western clothes and dance together to country western music. Many bands all over the world now perform country western music. Country western music fans enjoy Patsy Cline, etc.

倒是写过一个论文,但现在忘得很彻底了.我记得当时就是在百度百科查到的.先从jazz这样的关键词开始查起,然后一个一个连接进去.

In fact,my understanding of Western music is not profound,I just regard music as a hobby.Sometimes I like reading biographies,which might be the reason why I know something about them.

音乐,让我陶醉
音乐仅仅是代表歌曲吗?不,不是的.音乐是一个可以陶冶情操、放松心情的神秘艺术.它包括音乐历史、音乐常识、各种乐器和各方面的音乐内涵等等.音乐并没有那么简单,它具有丰富的内涵和复杂的结构,它令我折服,使我为之陶醉.
我从小就喜爱音乐,于是我从小就开始练琴,直至今天,每次练琴的时候,我都会全神贯注地去体会它,去理解它,从而演奏出的是富有含义的、富有艺术价值的曲目.我知道,音乐是神圣的,它更注重的是内涵!.
在家里,到处都可以看见我摆放着的CD和磁带,一有空我就会拿来听听!有一次我在房里写作业的时候,看见旁边的复读机,便不由自主地挂上耳机,开始从“文学世界”进入到“音乐世界”当中,正当我听得正入神的时候,“震耳”的敲门声急“冲”入我的耳朵,随即出现在我面前的便是妈妈,再后来就是她的责诉声：“在干什么呢?叫那么大声都听不到啊!”我拿着笔,装着刚写好字的样子,说：“啊?我在听写英语单词呢?”我一脸无辜得看着妈妈,妈妈只好一脸阴云地走拉!之后,便是我再次回到“音乐世界”中的情景.音乐让我陶醉,它的没一个音符,我都无法不为之感到兴奋!
我喜欢看关于音乐的书籍,比如说介绍音乐历史的啊,介绍音乐常识的啊,我都喜欢看!因为音乐也是一门艺术,艺术是最具有欣赏性的拉,它的内涵需要知识渊博的人才能完全体会得到!
而且音乐可以提高我们的欣赏水平,陶冶我们的情操,提高我们的生活价值,丰富我们的生活,充实我们的生活,给我们好的心情!
我爱音乐,因为它使我快乐；我爱音乐,更是因为它让我陶醉!

音乐,从广义上来说,应该是文化的外延,是文化孕育出来的精华的一种结晶形式.现在所提及的西方音乐实际上是从十六世纪末开始,由其是十七世纪到十八世纪,这一期间,音乐史上称为巴洛克时期.西方古典音乐有理论,有规范,有大量的文字和音响文献,易于流传；着重美学及功能性,故此比较客观.

因为我过几天就考试了
