The idea in the reading that stood out the most was the crossing of musical traditions in England and Italy. The article discusses how Italian music of the time period influenced the music of England. This shows how music can affect a culture and how music from one culture can affect another culture. It reminds me of how music can bring multiple cultures together. One culture can learn and gain knowledge from the music of another culture. Music can help us to learn about other cultures and teach us how other cultures think. It is important that we recognize the affect culture has on music and how in turn the music off certain culture can affect another one. There is so much to be learned from music. Music allows us to see other cultures and helps us to better understand how different cultures work and the customs they hold. This shows just how important music is to our everyday lives and shows us how much we can learn from music.
I commented on Lily Caswell’s and Caroline Tucker’s post.
Music plays so many roles in our lives. The meaning of a song can give one a personal feeling with it or with that album. There's a playlist I have on spotify that I sleep to called, "Let Me Vibe Mom." I made it because a few years ago I was in a bad place and music was my out and my mom ALWAYS yelled at me to turn certain songs down. So in my mind I made that playlist.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I love how someone can be moved by a song and they don’t even know the language that the artist is singing in. I feel like there is an endless world of possibilities when it comes to combining music from different cultures.
