Musical Styles Assignment

Musical Styles Assignment


  • Sitar/Tabla Ravi Shankar/Chatur Lal, Raga Mishra Piloo
    • This piece of art has a fast style, soft and in some moments loud. It fits perfect for a quiet listening moment, where you can meditate or just relax; there are no voices involved that’s why it is even more relaxing. Listening to this style of music I can say that its sounds difficult to play because of the fast style it has.
    • This song was recorded in 1963 and is imbued of divinity a kind of mantra and is considered a dialogue with God. Ravi Shankar and Chatur Lal here transport you to a world where music is redefined. It is kind of a religious tradición.
  • I Should Have Know Better - The Beatles
    • This song was composed by The Beatles, recorded in February 25th and 26th of 1964 and published in July 10th of the same year. This song has a soft and slow-medium style, with a pop rock genre is ideal for listening while driving your car or maybe when doing something else, and because of the lyrics you can also sing along. In my opinion with a good knowledge in guitar and with a complete band you can perform this song.
    • Instruments:
      • drums
      • bass
      • acoustic Guitar
      • electric guitar
      • Harmonica

  • Wesley Willis-Rock'n' Roll McDonalds

    • In my opinion this is an amazing song. This is the perfect song for dancing and have fun with your friends. This song has a loud and fast style what makes it unique. Wesley Willis is the composer of this song and also the singer. While listening to this song you can hear drums, a bass and a guitar. 
    •  There is no to much information of this song because it is not popular at all. In my point of view it hears easy to play. I think that he did this song to humiliate McDonalds or maybe he just enjoy saying random thing in his songs.
  • God Bless The Child - Billie Holiday
    • A really slow and soft song but also really good, with the jazz genre it is ideal for listen to it and relax or while eating at a restaurant. Billie Holiday is the singer in this song. There are a variety of instrument for performing this song, so it might me sort of difficult to play it.
    • This son was recorded in May 9 of 1941. This song was included in the list of the songs of the century and also was honored with the Grammy Hall Of Fame Award. This song was inspired in a phrase Holiday’s mother told her during an argument between them both.
    • Instruments:
      • Piano
      • Trumpet
      • Alto Saxophone
      • Guitar
      • Bass
      • Drums




  • Malagueña Salerosa
    • A very distinctive song of Mexico created in 1947 because of the use of the mariachi genre. I really like the Mexican music and I enjoyed listening to this one. Is a slow and soft song that you can listen in a Mexican feast. The them of this song is about a man in love who says to a Spanish woman how pretty she is and the beautiful eyes she has although she ignores him because of his material poverty.
    • As it uses the mariachi we can guess they use the instruments of a mariachi band: “guitarrón”, trumpet, violin, “vihuela” and harp. The mariachi is an art and for playing this song you need coordination between all the instruments and the voice.
