So... First post on this new Blog. This will be for my thoughts on certain matters, such as Politics, Wars, Music, and other things.

Music - Vocal or Instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, or expression of emotion. Does Modern Music follow these different definitions of it? How about I compare modern music, say Rave Music, to, for instance, the works of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, or Wolfgang Adameus Mozart, to name a few. In particular, we will be looking at Requiem - Lacrimosa for Mozart, and the 1812 Overture for Tchaikovsky.

First Question. Does Rave Music produce beauty of form? Constant Electronic Beats that hurt peoples ears, Definitely not. As for the classics such as Requiem? Hmm, one tone for most of it... Yes, in my opinion, it passes with flying colors.

Second Question. Does Rave Music provide harmony? Perhaps, when you look at it from a certain perspective, however when you take a closer, and I mean closer look (well, listen really), it hardly seems to be in harmony with the song at first, but in a way it can. So I say it hardly, and I mean like 0.003% of it actually reaches that. As for the Classics such as Requiem and 1812, it mostly follows it.

Third Question. Does it show emotion? With Rave Music, it is kinda hard to tell, as it mostly seems like a child who has no musical talent trying to make music. Of course, I am not saying Classical Music is perfect either, but I would definitely say that Lacrimosa shows sadness, mourning. (I mean seriously, the name itself literally translates to weeping!). As for 1812 Overture, it is in memory of the victory of the Russian Armed Fores over France in the Napoleonic Wars.

(I may have been a bit to biased towards it.)
