Why is a music note called a note?

They are different because they get different counts. 1/2 note & Half Rest: Only gets 2 counts. Quarter Rest & Note: Only gets one count. Long Rest: Counts the number of measures indicated. Single Eighth note: Is half as long as a quarter note. Eta: Depends on how long the Eta(has four notes sort of like a Eighth note) is. If clapped and spoken it goes: 1 eta,2 eta, 3 eta, 4. (Please note: Eta is a uncommon note used only about once or twice. They are somewhat difficult if played.) Hope I helped.


What are the lyrics of Tim Hardin song Tribute to Hank Williams?

Great song to wonder about! ~LL. --- Goodbye Hank Williams, my friend I didn't know you... But I've been to places you've been In Richmond, where they'd just been For some, seats could not be found But they planned to see him again Next time.. Hank Williams.. came to town Hardly nobody knew that night How soon they'd be crying Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams... was dying He sang from his heart, Took the pain for his fans Who watched the pain in his heart And they sat, and then... they clapped their hands. Goodbye Hank Williams, my friend I didn't know you... But I've been t'places you've been Chauffeur steared the car that night To the town next in line for a show With his name, and the date, in lights And the people, with tickets, to go Hardly nobody knew that night How soon they'd be crying Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams was dying Goodbye Hank Williams, my friend I didn't know you... But I've been - places you've been --- The 'live' version flips the first and second verses, and replaces the third with: "Whiskey took the heartbreak From too many broken dreams What pain wasn't taken by the whiskey Was given by too much morphine"


How did blues and African rhythms influence hip hop culture?

The blues movement and the development of early hip hop share many similarities despite being separated by nearly a century and differing in sound and culture.Special:WysiwygBoth have emerged out of financial impoverishment, racial prejudice and the creative expressions of disenfranchised men and women. Through music and words, both styles broadcast their disheartenment within their circumstance, but all to the same end, to be momentarily liberated from their situation.The blues is a product of influences that are heavily rooted in pre-civil war slavery and the music that developed throughout that period. Some of the blues primary influences come from work songs of black slaves in America, prison chants, spirituals, and church hymns that, more often than not, were purely an expression of collective grief from the mouths of distressing blacks. The most crucial development of the blues occurs during the 1880's - 1920's in New Orleans. Slavery had been outlawed by this time, but there was still a racially hostile environment to say the least. Jim Crow segregation laws, the rise of Ku Klux Klan terrorism, elimination of elected black public officials and the Plessey vs. Ferguson case can give an idea of the type of society and time the blues movement emerged.Special:WysiwygBlacks traveled from Mississippi to New Orleans in search of job opportunities that were potentially more promising than those of other southern states. For blacks, the status of the country alongside the everyday struggles of human hardship and heartache contributed to the main ingredient of the blues; the blues.The very sound of "the blues" was once said to be "about sculpting meaning out of a situation that seems to defy your being able to find meaning in it."Special:WysiwygIt is the product of human response to troubling circumstances in permutation with creative expression in the form of music. This strenuous emotional energy was channeled and developed into repetitious and simplistic twelve bar arrangements, known today as "the twelve bar blues". It is built on just three chords and typically played on a banjo or acoustic guitar. The blues is not to be limited to just an arrangement style and song formula. More importantly, it is not recognized as the blues simply because of an artist's attention to technique, but he or she must convey the intangible feeling of the blues that transcends conceptual playing style.Originally the blues told stories of painful events. As blues began to develop from its grass roots into a legitimate and structured style of music, the content may have altered, but the feeling and emotion of its sound continued to characterize it. For example, Bessie Smith was a renowned blues singer who penned the familiar tune Backwater Blues. This was inspired by an actual event, the Cumberland River flood that hit Nashville, Tennessee, on Christmas morning, 1926.Special:WysiwygThe lyrics of the song are intentionally sung slowly and repetitiously, stirring listener with the inflections of her voice."…When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blowThere's thousands of people ain't got no place to go…Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill.Then looked down on the house were I used to live.Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go…"To some, singing and playing music that reflects an individual's pain would almost seem masochistic. Why not sing songs that are happy and try to drown out the troubles of the day? Isn't it counterintuitive to remind yourself of the pain you are dealing with? No, this is actually understood to be musically therapeutic and "…A liberating and freeing experience to recognize that which pains you…"Special:WysiwygThis musical philosophy has since been adopted by many other genres and can be found as a primary influence in the early development of hip hop.Hip hop has been defined as a subculture that collectively embodies four main "elements". These have been grouped together in relationship to geographic location, interests and ethnicity. These "elements" consist of DJing (using turntables and records to create and manipulate sounds), break dancing or b-boying, graphing (graffiti art) and MCing or "rapping" (spoken word over rhythms). The element that has been most directly influenced by the sound and philosophy of the blues is rapping.Nearly a century after the foundation of the blues had been laid and roughly 1,300 miles away from New Orleans, the Bronx set the stage for a newly emerging sound that would parallel the blues movement in numerous ways. In the late 1970's, New York City was on the verge of financial collapse. With public schools slashing funding the first programs to go were, of course, the arts. This rendered musically inclined students helpless, as praying for private lessons was out of the question for most of the poverty stricken community of the south Bronx. With ambition and determination, these kids developed rap, a purely rhythmic and poetic form of expression which took no formal training or lessons. The ties between rap and the blues have been drawn together by music historians and observers alike. "Now that the schools don't have any music programs [in New York]…kids have no place to take music any more. In the Bronx what happened was they figured out a new form of music, that is, using poetry and rhythm - which has a lot of roots in Africa and music from the southern United States…"Special:WysiwygThe financially strenuous circumstances and enduring racial animosity for blacks and Latino's in the Bronx contributed to the emotional disposition and lyrics that rappers produced. The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is a legendary rap record that was released in 1982. This very same year was a time in which the nation experienced record high interest rates and deep recession.Special:WysiwygThe lyrics in this song are an excellent example of a modern blues which reflected the hip hop community's condition."Broken glass everywherePeople pissing on the stairs, you know they justDon't careI cant take the smell, I cant take the noiseGot no money to move out, I guess I got no choiceRats in the front room, roaches in the backJunkies in the alley with a baseball batI tried to get away, but I couldn't get farCause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my carChorus:Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edgeI'm trying not to loose my headIts like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonderHow I keep from going under"The song concludes with a skit depicting Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five having a typical conversation out in the street, when a police car pulls up and arrests all of them for no apparent reason. Grandmaster flash asks "What's the problem officer?" The response of the officer was "You're the problem!"Not only do these two genres share similarities within their literal content, but the musical elements of each are somewhat akin. The primal stages of both blues and hip hop share a minimalist sound, unaltered by modern technology. Church hymns often required only two instruments, neither of which were crafted by man, but rather, were man; the voice and the "ten string instrument" (two hands). The perpetual sound of stomping and the ring of farm tools striking hard ground provided timing for work songs and prison chants that shaped the blues. The human beat boxSpecial:Wysiwyg, arguably the fifth element of hip hop, was the foundation that set the rhythmic pace for the rapper to rhyme. A beat boxer would emulate real sounds of percussion instruments, synthesized noises, turntable scratches, and even movie and cartoon characters. Onlookers usually joined in and clapped their hands in unison with the snare sound (which typically landed on the 2 and 4 of the 4/4 time beat). Call and response was another church attribute that found its way into the blues and has continued to influence live performances ever since. From Cab Calloway's "Heidi ho" to LL Cool J beckoning audiences to "hop" after his "hip", the effect has always been the same, that is, creating a sense of unity between performer and spectatorSpecial:WysiwygThe Real Hip Hop Blues,eMusic Magazine, Article by John MothlandSpecial:WysiwygVeterans of the civil rights movement timeline. www.crmvet.orgSpecial:WysiwygJazz (Documentary), By Ken Burns.
