FMP-Literature review

Literature review:-

Pop music is a term used to describe popular music, it is a genre of music that is influenced by many other musical styles.David Hatch and Steven Millward define pop music as a type of music which contains Popular,Jazz and Folk Musics. The definition of pop music is deliberately flexible as the music that is identified as pop is constantly changing. The term "Pop song" was first recorded in 1926. Modern popular music and rock and Pop music can be related to western music also because,There are mostly English Songs.It is more to be performed with a band in Gig,One can also perform themselves as well in the sense of "piece of music having popular appeal". Pop has had the special meaning of non-classical music.Some of the most well known names in pop music history such as; The Beatles, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, ABBA etc.

The songs which My band members and I had  performed for the Gig are the songs related to Pop music. The songs   which we had performed are Wavin Flag by K'naan and American Boy by Estelle. K'naan who is the singer in Wavin Flag is a South African citizen but the song is in English. When people listen to pop music in Gigs, after

each and every performance, they scream out while clapping for the performance.

Pop music songs are also from various types of music, Such as Hard rock, Alternative rock etc. Some artists who make pop music take some one or more pieces of other types of music whichever they like and put it into their own music to make a song. This usually happens in Indian Bollywood movie songs and English songs of well. Some artists also want to do a copy of some phrases of Indian and Western Musical songs meaning, English and Hindi Songs and put them into their own music. People also like listening to Pop music when they are free at home,When they are                                                                                                   

driving and when they listen to the super hit songs in the radio and it can also provide them

entertainment for them.

According to me, Pop music can also be performed by rockstars and other musicians in concerts like Razz Matazz and So on. Pop music has often been repeated meaning, In some songs, or even more songs,there are repetitions. The lyrics and Musical tune are the same like for example in a song named around the world.

My idea is that,When we are selecting a set of songs, especially when singing with a group of band and also at her band members, There has to be a time limit like for example, If you are singing Six songs for making a 25 minute performance, You must sing some of the lyrics of each song to make it work nicely and it only comes by Practicing. If you sing the all the songs continuously meaning if

you are singing one whole song and similarly if you sing the whole lyrics of other songs, that is also

good means you are confident of singing the whole song and have learnt the whole lyrics of the

songs to perform, but the Audience may get bored and not enjoy it because same things are being

repeated over and over again. So it is better to cut some parts of the pop songs you are performing

and work on the time limit to prepare for your performance.

How Pop music and the research articles I looked at so far are related to my Final Major Project is

that, the songs which we had performed for the summer gig are all related to Pop Music and

especially a group band named Linkin park, is a group band who wanted to take break by listening

to so many kinds of music and wanted to do some sampling meaning that they wanted to make Pop Music, So they took some parts of other kinds of Music and put it all together for using to

make Pop music. There was a song named Numb by Linkin Park which got influenced by Another band named Jay Z. The name of the song of Jay Z was Encore. These songs were released  in September 2003 and One year later, Linkin Park and Jay Z got influenced with each other and

mixed both their songs together and named it Numb/Encore.

If you are performing individually, then it is up to you how you want to perform but do keep practicing and don't let it go down.

"History of Pop Music" - Luka Wheeler

Modern Pop music was originated in the 1950's in the United States and the United Kingdom. Early pop music was originated in the 16th and 17th century. Pop music is also somewhat related to Classical Music especially the

Brass sound. People who had been setting up musical sheets had been making companies.

Pop music songs are also from various types of music, Such as Hard rock, Alternative rock etc. Some artists who

make pop music take some one or more pieces of other types of music whichever they like and put it into their

own music to make a song. This usually happens in Indian Bollywood movie songs and English songs of well.

Some artists also want to do a copy of some phrases of Indian and Western Musical songs meaning, English and Hindi Songs and put them into their own music. People also like listening to Pop music when they are free at

home,When they are driving and when they listen to the super hit songs in the radio and it can also provide them entertainment for

them.

 According to me, Pop music can also be performed by rockstars and other musicians in concerts like Razz Matazz and So on. Pop music has often been repeated meaning, In some songs, or even more songs,there are

repetitions. The lyrics and Musical tune are the same like for example in a song named around the world.

"What pop music owes to the classical masters" - Imogen Tilden

This basically talks about Artists about How they were working together with other musicians or

artists to make pop music better. Bach was the cleverest musician of Pop Music. They had also been working on three or four chords as well. Artists such as Mozart  have been making melodies and harmonies out of Chords and this article also talks about how artists have been producing opera music and also while some artists are singing.

  

Modern popular music and rock and Pop music can be related to western music also because,There are mostly English Songs.It is more to be performed with a band in Gig,One can also perform themselves as well in the sense of "piece of music having popular appeal". Pop has had the special meaning of non-classical music.

What I mean to say is that,there are many artists who are taking one or more parts of various kinds of music like

classical and put use those parts to music. This is known as Pop music and Sampling.

"It’s true: Pop music has become more repetitive" - Rachel Kaser

I also feel the same thing, and therefore people get bored of listening to those same songs again and

again. In this article there was a video clip of a song n,ed around the World, In this song, the lyrics and the sound of the music are being repeated over and over again.

My idea is that,When we are selecting a set of songs, especially when singing with a group of band and also at her band members, There has to be a time limit like for example, If you are singing Six songs for making a 25 minute performance, You must sing some of the lyrics of each song to make it work nicely and it only comes by Practicing. If you sing the all the songs continuously meaning if

you are singing one whole song and similarly if you sing the whole lyrics of other songs, that is also

good means you are confident of singing the whole song and have learnt the whole lyrics of the

songs to perform, but the Audience may get bored and not enjoy it because same things are being

repeated over and over again. So it is better to cut some parts of the pop songs you are performing and work on the time limit to prepare for your performance.

If you are performing individually, then it is up to you how you want to perform but do keep practicing and don't let it go down.

Pop music was a great leveller. Now it's a bespoke plaything for the rich:-

What I understood about this article is that there was a new Pink Floyd record out, as artists used to say in the 1970s. It's not only a record, a CD, or anything resembling the modest recorded artefacts with which that a group made their name, but rather a 27 disc cornucopia. It contains more than 26hours of music, 42 "items of memorabilia", five reproduction vinyl singles and three feature films. It is titled The Early Years 1965-72, so prepare for a sequel, and it's a outward appearance suggests an item of colour-coded furniture. Pop music used to be heard by people when other people had listened to music while playing CD's, Cassetes etc. But now along with the 27 disc cornucopia, people have also started listening to Pop music in YouTube. Other examples abound, equally luxurious and loving done, though that is not exactly the point. For the first 35 years of its life the Who's first album, My generation, was a primary-coloured example of everything great about the peak of the teenage epoch, and priced accordingly. Now, having already been packaged in a "deluxe edition", it has been reinvented as a "spectacular 79-track, five-disc super-deluxe" version (with, inevitably "period memorabilia"), which will retail for just shy of £90.

In my opinion, Pop Music can be heard anywhere,Maybe if you would like, You could also make Pop Music yourself.

Indian Pop music:-

Indian Pop music is also known as Indian Pop, Hindi Pop, Indie pop and Indie-Pop. It refers to Music in South Asia with a Play back singer named Ahmed Rushdi and his song was named as Koi Koi Karana in 1966. Indian pop music was also made in other countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Shri Lanka as a pioneering influence of their respective pop culture. The term Indian Pop music generally refers to Studio album Music like Soundtrack and Indian Bollywood film songs,emotional pictures etc.

These articles basically talk about Many other things related to Pop Music. Such as songs which are related to Pop music kept being repeated. For example in a song, A song named around the world and Of course some other songs related to Pop music, have the same tuning structure and the lyrics is often repeated from time to time.

How these articles are related to my final major project is that, The songs which I performed in the gig are all related to Pop music like Wavin Flag by K'naan and American boy by Estelle. This was my main Idea to perform these songs along with a group of Band Members for my final major project, and which is why, for this written work research, I had planned to research these articles related to Pop music to show what I am doing relevant for this project.
