Essence Types and introduction of music

Jazz is a music form that originated in Africa. From roots blues and ragtime, through New Orleans jazz to Dixieland jazz, swing, mainstream jazz, bebop, modern jazz to free jazz and electronic jazz. During the 19th century, music was an important means for black slaves in the southern plantations of the United States to express their lives and emotions. Jazz is very unique in the instruments and playing methods used, which is completely different from traditional bands. Since the "Jazz Age", the saxophone has become one of the most sold instruments; the trombone can play funny or weird slides that other brass instruments can't do, so it has become popular in jazz bands; the trumpet is also the instrument preferred by jazz musicians. Blues is also a kind of JAZZ. Wang Ruolin's songs are basically jazz tunes, which has a very casual feeling. Rock host Alan Fried Freed created "rock and roll" from a rhythm and blues song "We're Gonna Rock, We're Gonna Roll" (We're Gonna Rock, We're Gonna Roll). As the British BAND, the Beatles completely changed the trend of American music. Light music There are many types of light music, including general life songs, lyric songs, witty songs, satirical songs, some operettas, waltzes, small orchestral overtures, serenades, as well as some orchestral sketches, movie songs, dance music, beautiful piano music, etc. Ethnic folk music from all over the world is also the object of adaptation of light music, such as the British "Last Rose of Summer", the Italian "Return to Sorrento" and "Santa Lucia", the Romanian "Hola Dance", the Canadian "Red River Valley", and the American "Return to Sorrento". "Home on the Ranch", Cuba's "Dove", Gypsy's "Song of the Wanderer" and Latin music. In addition, some widely circulated romantic ditties such as "Girl's Prayer", "Love's Romance", "Green Sleeves", etc. are also often performed by light music bands. The full name of pop music R&B is Rhythm & Blues, which is used in movie soundtracks, advertising soundtracks, and even some Chinese pop songs, but electronic dance music is the most popular. Many people think that electronic music is a kind of cold and emotionless music. In fact, electronic music can also be full of emotions by incorporating various elements such as Rock, Jazz and even Blues. R&B The full name of R&B is Rhythm & Blues, which is generally translated as "rhythm and blues". R&B can be regarded as "black pop music". It originated from black blues music and is the basis of today's western pop and rock music. Billboard magazine once defined R&B as all black music except Jazz and Blues, which shows how broad the scope of R&B is. Hip Hop and Rap, which have become popular in the black music circle in recent years, both originated from R&B, and at the same time, they retain many R&B elements. HOUSE HOUSE was inherited in the 1980s. Dance music developed by DISCO. This is music played by DJs in Chicago. They mixed a record of the German electronic band Kraftwerk with the regular rhythm of electronic drums (Drum Machine) and black blues singing, and House was born~ Generally translated as "house" dance music, it is the most basic form of electronic dance music, with a 4/4 beat, one drum per beat, and a simple melody, often with high-pitched female voices singing. After DISCO became popular, some DJs changed it, deliberately making DISCO less commercial, and the bass and drums became deeper. In many cases, they became pure musical works. Even if there were singing parts, they were mostly short sentences sung by dancing female singers, often without clear lyrics.Gradually, some people added elements such as LATIN (Latin), REGGAE (Reggae in the West Indies), RAP (rap) or JAZZ (jazz). By the late 1980s, HOUSE broke out of the underground and became the darling of the pop charts in Chicago, New York and London. Why is it called "House"? That is to say, as long as you have simple recording equipment, you can make this kind of music at home ~ House is also the most easily accepted by everyone among electronic music. Believe sung by Cher is a good example. M-People can be said to be the representative group of House. After house dance music became popular in 1986, it can be said to have replaced disco music. House can be divided into: Acid House, which is house music that combines the acid sound of TB-303. Deep House has a very strong soul singing style, also called Garage, which is quite popular. Real Mecoy, M-People, and La Bouche are all garage groups. To put it simply, Hard House is a house with a heavier rhythm and fiercer rhythm. Progressive House This type of house does not have much soul singing, but pays more attention to melody and music arrangement. It's a bit like "performance" house music. Like SASH! The album It＇＇＇s My Life is a very good Progressive House album. Epic House is "epic" House. Epic House has beautiful, smooth melody and majestic momentum, and rarely has vocals in it (almost none!). BT's music is great Epic House, and he is also called the "Epic House Emperor". In fact, even Rock has "Epic Rock" Trible House. Imagine: What does House with primitive African style or Indian drumming look like? This is Trible House~ In addition to the stable rhythm of general House, this kind of House will add some original style and fragmented drum beats between each beat. Quite interesting ~ However, the scope of House is too broad, so you don't have to classify a piece of music. These are just to tell you that there are many kinds of house. By the 1990s, house had lost its avant-garde and trendy colors, but it was still a very popular music. Britpop Although Britpop has the word "Pop", it is actually a type of Rock. It originated from England in the 1990s and can be translated as "British rock" in Chinese. This is the British music scene's response to the American Grunge trend, mainly in the form of a band. However, the Britpop style is actually very wide, such as Oasis, a guitar rock band, and Blur. There are many Pop, and Pulp is close to Glam Rook and dance styles, but they are all classified as Britpop. British Britpop representatives: Oasis, Blur, Suede, Pulp, Radiohead Trip-Hop Trip-Hop Trip-Hop is a type of British/European dance music. Its name comes from "Trip + Hip-Hop = Trip-Hop" because it originated from Bristol in the UK, so it was first called "Bristol" "Hip-Hop". Because there is so much Hip-Hop (in fact, a lot of music is based on Hip-Hop... I don't know what Hip-Hop is and go see some hip-hop dancers, Most of them use Hip-Hop music to dance.) The rhythm is slowed down (sometimes very slow) and some psychedelic flavor is added, such as a very gloomy, fat bass, a slight but psychedelic synthesized sound, or some record samples. Sometimes even the noise of the record is "deliberately" sampled. The so-called "Trip" refers to the psychedelic, dense drug [journey], so Trip-Hop is a kind of slow psychedelic, with Break beat music with a Jazz feel and a touch of Hip-Hop rhythm. Although it belongs to the dance music category, its psychedelic and confused characteristics have made it far away from the clear beat characteristics of ordinary dance music. Representatives of foreign Trip-Hop: Ortishead, Tricky, Massive Attack, Mandalay Moloko, Coldcut Gangsta Rap and Gangsta Rap are recognized in Trip-Hop. A type of Rap, the content of Rap is mostly related to urban crime and is full of violence and lustful feelings. This is a music trend that reflects reality. Gangsta Rap emerged in the United States in the late 1980s. The tough and sharp style of Rap music is very popular in the United States, and its records sell very well.Many Gangsta Rap musicians themselves actually "participated" in various real-life crimes, and some were imprisoned or even died as a result. It can be said that it is a genre of music that truly reflects reality and is shocking. Gangsta Rap group: Ice-T, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, 2 Pac, Geto Boys Synth Pop The "Synth" in Synth Pop is Synthesizer. As the name suggests, Synth Pop is "pop music produced by Sythesizers". Of course, in addition to Synthesizers, other electronic instruments such as computers and drum machines are also used. Synth Pop became popular in the early 1980s, but fell silent in the mid-1980s. It also caused a wave of craze in Hong Kong that year. Synth Pop is characterized by a strong sense of technology and can sometimes be quite cold. Most of its songs are "3-minutes Pop", and Synth Pop musicians often dress up in fashionable styles. Synth Pop representative groups: Depeche Mode, uman League, Duran Duran, OMD, Gary Numan ORCHESTRA ORCHESTRA is an orchestra, which is divided into four parts: 1 strings, including violin, cello, etc., 2 brass, 3 woodwinds and 4 percussion groups. Each instrument in the string section has multiple players (except harp), and the four groups of players are coordinated and led by one person, who is the conductor of the orchestra. ORCHESTRA appeared in the 17th century and was clearly modeled in the 18th century with the works of Haydn and Mozart. In the 19th century, some new instruments were added and the number of orchestras increased. ORCHESTRA is the authentic version of Western classical/orthodox music. Western pop/rock music often uses some or all members of ORCHESTRA to assist in performances. CHAMBER POP CHAMBER POP refers to a kind of elegant, noble and refined pop music, which has a certain feeling of classical music. The word CHAMBER MUSIC comes from classical music, which is called "chamber music" in Chinese. It is a group string performance style with an elegant atmosphere. CHAMBER POP emerged in the 1990s as a reaction to LO-FI and GRUNGE at that time. It emphasized beautiful melodies, exquisite soundtracks, and clean recordings, often using strings and wind instruments to create the musical feel of the Baroque era. Representative foreign bands include THE DIVINE COMEDY, RIALTO, ERIC MATTHEWS and BALLE & SEBASTIAN, etc., while Hong Kong bands include Wong Yaoming, part of Peng Ling, part of MULTIPLEX, etc. FOLK Folk songs (FOLK) originally refer to the traditional songs of each nation. The ancestors of each nation have their own songs that have existed since ancient times. Most of these songs do not know who the author is, and they are spread orally, passed down from ten to ten, and passed down from generation to generation to this day. However, the folk songs (FOLK) we talk about today mostly refer to the folk songs (FOLK) of the pop music era. They refer to the kind of songs that mainly use wooden guitar as the accompaniment instrument, sing in a natural and frank way, and sing people's simple life feelings. The records of American folk singer WOODY GUTHRIE in the 1950s can be said to be the earliest folk song recordings, so they are generally regarded as the ancestors of modern folk songs (FOLK). Afterwards, PETE SEEGER and THE WEAVERS continued to promote this type of music. During the Vietnam War in the 1960s, anti-war folk singers such as BOB DYLAN, JOAN BAEZ, PETER, PAUL AND MARY, etc. became the voice of the times. After folk songs developed towards POP, ROCK and urbanization, BOB DYLAN invented FOLKROCK, SIMON & GARFUNKEL developed urban FOLK POP with middle-class taste, which became popular for a while. In the 1980s, SUZANNE VEGA, TRACYCHAPMAN, etc. developed a more urban-feeling URBAN FOLK (city) / CONTEMPORARY (contemporary) FOLK route. Folk songs (FOLK) have also developed different looks in music circles such as the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The latest development of folk music (FOLK) in recent years is the combination with NEW AGE (such as ENYA), and the combination with TRIP HOP (such as BETH ORTON). BOSSA NOVA BOSSA NOVA is a kind of Brazilian music with a JAZZ flavor. In the 1950s, the composer ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM mixed the Brazilian music rhythm with the American West Coast COOL JAZZ. It is soft, comfortable, relaxed, lazy and romantic. The 1st, 4th, 7th, 11th, and 14th beats of every two BARs are repeated beats.The pure singing voice of singer JOAO GILBERTO is an excellent partner of JOBIM music. It became very popular after being introduced to the United States in the mid-1950s. Other famous BOSSA NOVA musicians include CHARLIE BYRD, STAN GETZ and ASTRUD GILBER.
