“Choose two excerpts of a concert, one of a pop or rock concert from modern times and one of a performance of Baroque music. (The Baroque performance would by necessity be a performance of Baroque music performed in modern times.)
You may pick from the following YouTube recordings for the Baroque piece:

Henry Purcell, “The Fairy Queen” https://youtu.be/K7AbzbN-MqA?list=PLIxUq0CwyVLGSCB

In terms of pop/rock music, the choice is yours, but you must be able to not only identify the performer(s) but also the musical selections that you are listening to. If the YouTube video is long, then please provide me with the time stamp of where your selection begins.

Each excerpt should be approximately 10 minutes in length.

After viewing the concert excerpts, construct a comparison of these two concerts and address the following:

1. Explain why you did or did not enjoy the concerts.

2. Evaluate similarities and differences between music in the Baroque era and modern times. Be sure to use the musical terms we’ve been learning in Chapter 1 of our e-text. Your discussion should be specific to the pieces that you’ve listened to.

3. Discuss the types of people who attended concerts in the Baroque era and modern times, and why people attended concerts in the Baroque era versus today.

4. Analyze how new technologies, such as digital media and the internet, change the ways music is experienced.

Similarities and differences between music in the Baroque era and modern times

Derived from the Portuguese barroco, or “oddly shaped pearl,” the term “baroque” has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750. Baroque music was the start of “common practice” harmony, the rules that guides that Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and among others used. It was basically triadic with strict rules of voice leading. There are similarities between music in baroque era and modern times. Baroque music has a rich history as well as classical music. Both vocals and musical instruments are used in both styles of music like the violin. The difference is that the instruments used in baroque music are larger in the number of categories and not constrained like in modern times. Also, baroque music tends to feature longer phrases with fewer cadences while classical music has shorter more regular phrases.

dditionally, the second important festivals celebrate by Malay ethnic is Hari Raya Haji. They believe that it is an important day for Muslims to commemorate Ibrahim for following Allah’s command to sacrifice Ishmael (Ibrahim’s son). It is known as the Festival of Sacrifice, all Muslims observed the process. Allah stopped Ibrahim when he was about to sacrifice his son, and Allah told him that it was just a test to know whether Ibrahim can follow Allah’s command to sacrifice his son. Therefore, all Muslims will sacrifice animals with four-legged during Hari Raya Haji. They usually kill goats, cows or lamb in this sacrifice event. Then, the meat will be distributed to 3 parts which are for family, relatives or friends and last will be distributed to poor people. However, they believe that Ibrahim and his son Ishmael were guided by Allah to build ‘Kaaba’ the square tone building in a place name Mecca. Thus, that is the direction that all Muslims prayers pray towards all over the world. (Nurul Azliah Aripin, 2015)

VALUE & BELIEF

A value is the belief that people think it is preferable. It is something that people taught us and we believe it and follow the tradition set by ancestor. So, these cultures have been taught from one generation to next the generation until today. Besides that, different culture has their own values and basic belief.

In Malaysia, Chinese ethnic and Malay ethnic learn their value and belief of own culture. This is known as Enculturation and of course different culture has different belief. For Malay culture, they are known as Muslim prayers. All of the Muslim prayers pray to their god – Allah. For Muslim prayers, they strongly believe Allah is the universe creditor. Allah is also the meaning of God in the Arab language and they only believe Allah is the only God in Islam. Besides that, Muslim prayers used to pray to Allah 5 times a day is because they believe they can get some benefits by doing so. Muslim prayers can pray anywhere, but it will be better if there is a Mosque for them. For example, Muslim prayers will gather in Mosque every Friday and pray the Al-Quran. (BBC, 2014)
