What classical music has the sound of bells ringing in it?

February 52010

We are looking for a slow song, classical without vocal, that has bells ringing in it. Preferably chime-like bells, but ‘church-type’ bells are ok also. And please, no Christmas music! This is for a wedding.

Tubular Bells.

How do I put music in a external hard drive and put the music on a different computer?

Posted in music | 1 Comment »

I noticed that having music on my laptop takes up a lot of space! So I bought an external hard drive to store music and pictures. Except when I bring my external hard drive to my boyfriends house and put my music into his computer and take it out it doesn’t stay on his computer for him to put on his iPod.

1) Make a new folder somewhere on the computer, for examples sake I’ll say the desktop.
2) Copy the songs you want to transfer over.
3) Paste the songs into that folder.

Then add the songs into iTunes by going to add iTunes and going to the toolbar and find something along the lines of add songs by folder and choose the folder that has all your newly added songs.

What is some good classical music I should listen to while studying?

February 32010

While studying or doing some homework, I personally like to listen to some classical music. What are your reccommendations?

BQ 1: Do you think it is okay to listen to classical music while doing homework or studying?
BQ 2: Some people say to me that listening to classical music is only for ”older people”, do you think this is true?

Yes I think it is fine to listen to classical music while studying. For me it helps me focus, if i listen to pop music i get way to distracted.

No i think it is stupid when people say classical music is for only older people because honestly in my opinion i think people in almost every generation listen to it. I am 14 and I listen to it and Absolutely love it! practically obsessed with it.

what i like to listen to when im doing homework is debussy’s pieces very relaxing some are in the faster tempos but still very enjoyable and not very distracting. He is not from the classical era if that’s what you are looking for, but his compositions are amazing!

How was music used during the Vietnam War?

February 32010

Posted in music | 2 Comments »

I’m doing a Senior Seminar paper on Vietnam and the music of time. My prof said I should focus on how the younger college age generation used the music to express themselves and just how they used the music in general. Anyone know any good books or sources for this?

You might consider using lyrics of the time as opposed to books and websites.

You can watch the ‘general’ cold war evolve into Vietnam in the lyrics by Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, [some] Kingston trio, Dave Van Ronk and others of the cusp time when Vietnam was just tuning up. As the worm turned you see CW splitting as a direct result of the war, folk fading to be replaced by predominantly anti-war lyrics, political lyrics, or ‘civil rights issue’ lyrics.

Merle Haggard, "Okie From Muskogee" and "You’re Walking on the Fighting Side of Me" emerged as a battle flag for the pro-Vietnam War factions, along with a song by an ex-Special Forces guy [name escapes me] "Silver Wings upon His Chest" about the Special Forces.

These songs were countered on the other side by "**shole From El Paso" by Kinky Friedman, "Your Flag Decal won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore" by John Prine, songs by Steve Goodman, Kris Kristofferson, many others were openly anti-Vietnam War and made it into poplularity

The troops had their own obliquely anti-war preferences in music. We Gotta Get Out of this Place is an example. The song from the broadway musical hair, "Happy Birthday Abey Baby" became fairly popular and reflects the racial side of things. The haunting sound of "We Will All Go Down Together" by Billy Joel, sounds of helicopters in the background maybe covers the whole waterfront.

Jesse Winchester left to avoid the draft during the "Love it or Leave It" stage of things. Later he released a great album, "Learn to Love It" that’s worth a listen.

How does lstening to classical music help with school work?

January 272010

I only understand calc II when I listen to classical music and i cant take my ipod to the test lol, but anyway how does that help ppl concentrate?

Studies have shown that listening to music while studying actually reduces concentration. My guess is that you are not actively listening to the music (which requires concentration on the music), but perhaps listening passively to drown out ambient sounds. It is also possible that you are a rare case, but I don’t think it applies to most other people. Science has never shown that listening to any music (classical or otherwise) while performing a task helps in the performance of that task.

Listening to some music that you like before doing something can help you relax, however.

How do I transfer music from one iTunes list to another?

January 272010

Posted in music | 1 Comment »

Alright, so I’ve got like 3 different computers, and I have an iTunes list on each of them and have different music on all of them. So, is there a way that I can compile all my music onto one computer? I know there’s a website out there, but I can’t remember what it’s called. Other than burning all my music onto database CDs or separate music discs, can I get all my songs from one computer to another?
Thank ya!

IM the files then import them to iTunes.

I sing folk songs to a small guitar- to start my professional career should I gig at old folks homes?

January 252010

My best number is ‘There was a lover and his lass, with a hey nonny no and rosemary and thyme’
I follow this with ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor? Hey nay and up she rises’
I finsih after about two hours with a comic version of ‘Old Jed is dead and so is his daughter, the both drank from the stream they knew they didn’t aughter.’

I think it’s a good idea to do that to give you practice in front of a live audience. Then when your ready hit an open mic. But think of all the joy you’ll bring to the elderly giving them something different in their monotonous nursing home life. Have fun and keep going.

Do you know any Bb Clarinet sheet music for 1st year players - maybe jazz music. I just need something to do

Clarinet doesn’t play much jazz…
If ur bored, buy trumpet music
and play it with the clarinet
That would be super fantastic
