Boulevard Of Broken Dream Analysis
The boulevard of broken dream is a wonderful piece of music, another great piece of work from the band green day, a outstanding rock song, which also means this piece will be especially hard to transform into a different type of art work which in this case, it will need to be modified into a jazz piece.
Firstly the important role of the electric guitar here must be replaced by a fanfare instrument, i think a trumpet will suit this the best, then the acoustic guitar will need to play a bigger place as well. Than the drum playing style will need to be a lot more smooth, rather than how it is performed now.
The line of The Boulevard of Broken Dreams can be perfect for a sad mood jazz song, how ever if it was to be change to a jazz piece, than the beats must slow down and

When a jazz piece is played and there is a solo opportunity, the best way is to allow the piano to take over with a soft major keys, that basically completely takes over the place of the electric guitar within the piece which is what i have intended in the first place, in a jazz piece some thing so loud like a electric guitar will not fit in, in fact even one stroke from the guitar can ruin the beautiful of the entire piece. One more important thing is that the usage of harmony must be used more, but not as a harmony, more like a second part of the song that continues with the leader, this can create a beautiful harmony. with all the component replaced and the new component i have suggested i think, if it was to be applied in the first place, these examples can change the main style of The Boulevard of broken dreams. Basically by taking away the main melody here so that the feeling of rock is gone, hence plant in the mood of jazz, but also to take away the instrument that will not help while performing a jazz piece and replace it with other instrument that is smoother and fits

    A Streetcar Named Desire was based in the time it was written – New Orleans in 1947. The late 1940’s was a postwar era as the United States rose as a victorious superpower above the rest of the world. This era was also the beginning of the Baby Boom – a time of high marriage and birth rates in the country. There was a postwar surge in luxury with the end of rations and the emergence of better, cheaper cars and entertainment. Although there were many positive advances during the time, there was also the dark cloud of the Soviet Union as the Cold War was brewing and the atomic bomb was being threatened once again.…

    The three-part work, set to popular and gospel music by Alice Coltrane, Laura Nyro and Chuck Griffin, depicts a woman 's journey through the agonies of slavery to an ecstatic state of grace. Knowing Ms. Jamison 's strengths, Ailey had made it for her and as a birthday present for his mother. He phoned Ms. Jamison the morning after the first performance. ' ' 'You 're in headlines in The Times, ' Alvin told me, ' ' she says. 'Clive Barnes calls you a triumph. ' ' ' Awakened from a deep sleep, she responded, ' 'O.K., thanks, I 'm a little tired.

    In the movie, A Street Car Named Desire, Blanche uses the quote, “I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, Yes, magic! I try to give that to people." to explain her desire for her fantasy life to become reality. Blanches fantasy life would restore her youth, forgive her past and she would be more welcomed by people like Stanley and Mitch. I do agree with her statement, and believe that living in a “fantasy world” for a short period of time can be beneficial, but I do not agree with the circumstances Blanches is doing so by. Blanche wants to forget the death of her husband, the termination of her position as a schoolteacher caused by a discovered affair with a high school aged boy and the loss of her childhood home and plantation. Some of…

    Cry - Alvin Ailey

    • 792 Words

    Everything in this piece was thought of in specific detail in order to portray the intent as well as possible. For example, in this work there are three distinct sections and for each new section, there is a new song that is played. The songs used in this work are ‘Something About John Coltrane’ by Alice Coltrane, ‘Been On A Train’ by Laura Nyro and ‘Right On. Be Free.’ by The Voices Of East Harlem. In a couple of these songs the word ‘north’ is used quite a bit. My personal interpretation is that these slaves perhaps saw freedom and/or refuge in North America, wished to be there but something stopped them. I say this because in the song ‘Been On A Train’ it speaks of a woman on a train with a man who is addicted to drugs. This train is heading north but as the song goes on it shows the man’s addiction affecting the woman in a way that she does not wish to be on that train anymore heading north. The words are “I saw a man take a needle full of hard drug, and die slow.” “He died in the morning sun, and I ain’t going north no more.”…

    Jazz concert review #2

    • 412 Words
    • 2 Pages

    On Sunday May 2, 2004 I attended a jazz concert with some classmates. The program was entitled Jazz at the Stockmarket. We kind of got lost on the way so we only saw the second half of the show. The Sacramento based musicians were Jim Malone on keyboard, Steve Krohn who played both the guitar and keyboard, Rich Defazio an amazing drummer. That night the band was featuring Ken Stout who is an incredible tenor saxophone player, and also a guest appearance vocalist by the name of Debbie Defazio. There was also a tremendous bass player but his name was not on the program. There was a count off and the music began with a jam-packed house. The first song was called Equinox by John Coltrane. I know I have heard this piece played before at one time or another. When the band played it they added a little taste of their own to it. The song was unique. Ken Stout played two remarkable solos; one in the beginning and on at the end. The Bass player was just fantastic; he flowed with everyone flawlessly in the first piece. The next two bits were written by Steve Krohn, which he dedicated to his three-year-old daughter. One was called Nicole's song. This part of a set was very diverse it included mixes of Christmas and cartoon songs, which blended together perfectly. The song started with a guitar then the saxophone and drums meshed in together. I really enjoyed this piece since it reminded me of the old cartoons I used to watch plus it just made you feel happy inside. I looked around and everybody in the building had a fat smile on his or her face. The next song was entitled Pleasing the Queen. It began with the drummer snapping on the symbols. This song was awesome because there was a total of six solos in the piece. There was some real talent in the band you could feel it in the air.…

    Films that claim the statement, “based on a true story” intend to make all of the pictured events as accurate as possible. While depicting a historic moment can be incredible hard, it can be even harder when the original script is constructed upon a lie. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a movie based the life of the man responsible for creating a genre of television in which we capitalize on today, but also for creating an autobiography so far- fetched that it appears to be true. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind presents a look into the fabricated double life of Chuck Barris.…

    Jazz Music

    The first song I’m going to write about is Swing, Swing, Swing. The beat of this song was strong and dominate, while the tempo was played very quickly giving the song’s tone color a bright, high energy, dancing feel to it and the overall volume was loud. The horns also added to the rhythm by adding a lot of syncopation throughout the piece as they played extra loud accent notes with high pitches. The theme of the song had variations between the big band and the soloists that created a call and response between the two as well. Since it was a big band playing this piece the instruments included: saxophones, trumpets, bass, trombones, etc. so it essentially had the sound of a marching band. The trumpet solo had a fast tempo and it was played at a loud volume, whereas when the bass and drums played the volume soften up, while the tempo was still being played fast. While this song was written music it seemed there was room for improvisation for the soloists, I noticed the saxophone player close his eyes a few times during his part.…

    Part 1: In the movie Awakenings, a man named Dr. Malcolm Sayer applies for a job at a hospital in The Bronx, New York. As he's being interviewed it's obvious that he's nervous and not comfortable around people.
