PART III
MUSIC
Ex. 1. Read the following text to enrich your general knowledge of different genres of music. Get ready for further discussion of the role of music in our life
Can you think of a day without music? There is music everywhere: at home, in concert hall, in parks, at the seaside and even in the forest. People cannot live without music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments. But what is music? Specialists explain it very well. Music isn't a combination f pleasant sounds only life. Music reflects people's ideas and emotions. Music is also a weapon. It is an art which reflects life. It fights for light against darkness, for freedom against tyranny, for humanism against barbarity ("Seventh symphony" by Shostakovich and so on). When speaking of different forms of music I'd like to mention first and foremost classical music. I prefer different chamber music, vocal music, opera, and ballet. Classical music gives me delight, pleasure, partly sensual, partly intellectual. Classical music is always a complex of emotions, excitement and at the same time, love for others and a desire to do something for them. When listening to classical music I have to combine all my feelings into one and to give it the name which will be happiness. Classical music contains the powerful appeal for listeners. It addresses both senses and intellect. We are lucky to have such a famous orchestra in Petersburg which executes music by Beethoven and Mozart, Britten
and Gershvin. It is famous all over the world for its original interpretations of classical music. As for me I prefer such musical pieces which are based on the theme of struggle of good against evil. Also I like quiet lyrical piano pieces by Chopin and Prokofiev which are full of enchanting melodies.
Many young people today are gravitating towards new rhythms probably as a result of changing times. This explains why new pop groups are profilirating. Pop has permitted all the mass media. Pop may be said to have emerged in the mid 1950's with the arrival of rock'n'roll. About 999c of pop songs are about love. Nowadays many listeners are rejecting second-rate products which are nothing but a rehearsing of the old numbers. This explains the success achieved by some groups. They are genuine. The voice of the new groups is pure and clear and they sing about the things that are important in life. A readiness to experiment, favour and sincerity are their hallmark. A simple message conveyed with a good melody has, I believe, been found by the "Beatles". Some of their old songs still enjoy popularity today.
Pop music has always been influenced by other forms of music: by jazz, the blues, classic music, etc. Another important influence is folk music. Folk songs are the songs composed and sung by country people. They may be hundreds of years old. Nobody knows who originally composed them. Folk music is often music for dancing. Russian folk songs are very melodious. I like to listen to Russian folk songs sung by outstanding singers.
