Each style has its own fixed melody, which is called "rhythm type" professionally.
Country music (country music)
This name appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. /kloc-elegy of black people in the southern United States in the 0/8th century,/kloc-folk songs from the British Isles in the 0/9th century, as well as pioneering songs of Scottish and Irish immigrants who later lived in the mountains of the western United States and cowboy songs on pastures, labor songs of lumberjacks in the north, sailor songs in the eastern coastal areas, etc. , is its origin. At that time, the content of songs, in addition to expressing work and life, hated lonely and wandering life, yearned for a warm and peaceful home, and sang sweet love and the pain of lovelorn. The nature of American country music is very similar to the folk songs and minor tunes in various regions of China. In singing, people used to sing in their own voice at first, mostly in the form of solo or chorus, with guitar, banjo, harmonica and violin.
jazz
Among the so-called "pop music" in the 20th century, jazz is probably the most influential.
There are different opinions about its origin, some of which are almost legends.
There have been countless special studies on its musical form. However, it is still difficult for us to simply answer the most basic question, "What is jazz?" Someone once asked the famous fat man Waller louis armstrong, "What is jazz?" He replied, "If you answer in words, you will never understand." There are many theories about the origin of the word "jazz", and the most credible one is that it originated from the French word jaser. As mentioned earlier, the residents of these southern States in the United States spoke French at that time. Jaser's original intention is gossip and loquacity; Music is the main form of entertainment for slaves. They get together, play earth instruments at will, sing miscellaneous songs, and beat the rhythm with anything at hand. There is no notation or harmony that everyone should follow, and there are no technical restrictions. It's like a group of people getting together and chatting, which is exactly what the word jaser means. There are many other sayings. For example, some people say it comes from the name of a drummer. Because he can push the music to a climax with exciting drums, he calls his name whenever the audience wants more exciting effects. Over time, it became the name of this kind of music; Some people think that according to the analysis of the cultural background of jazz performance place (brothel) and participants (black slaves) at that time, this word originated from the vocabulary related to sexual behavior in the local black dialect. The word first appeared in 19 14, and a band in Chicago was named "Old Dixieland Jazz Band". 19 17, Shengli Company recorded a record for this band, even though it used the name "Jazz".
hip hop
The development of Hip-Hop mainly comes from Rap-Rap, but unlike Rap, Hip-Hop has repetitive melody and complex rhythm. Hip-hop music was very popular in early black American society. After the 1970s, many dance halls began to use this dance music one after another, but it was not popular at that time. It was not until 85 years later that Hip-Hop began to be widely used and gradually accepted by mainstream music! The expression concept of Hip-Hop mainly comes from Rap, and it wants to convey a lifestyle at that time, such as popular language, clothing or music type at that time! Different from Rap, Hip-Hop is not as fast as Rap, and at the same time it is more lyrical and soft in rhythm paragraphs!
rock
What exactly is rock and roll? This question needs to be answered thousands of times. In fact, as long as there is a new generation in the music hall, this question will be raised again. So, what is rock music? First of all, rock and roll is not only a form of music, but also a "life attitude and philosophy", which is why rock and roll is different from pop music. Although some singers now use guitar solo in their performances, and use many effects such as postponement and distortion, and the drums are as heavy as the real ones, due to the lack of "spiritual" theme in their creation, they are only pop music packaged with "rock" at best. "Spirit" can actually be described in one word, and that is "change". Early rock combined blues and country music (blues & county), but in fact, the two styles of music were contradictory at that time. At that time, racial discrimination in the United States was still very deep in the fifties and sixties. There are great differences between blacks and whites in living habits and humanistic thoughts. Even traditionally, white people listen to country music, and black people listen to blues or gospel music. There is a clear line between the two. Today, Apollo is regarded as a wonderful work of modern American music, which really turned the tide. At that time, many musicians were dissatisfied with this division, so they mixed this kind of music together and formed the form of rock music.
classical music
Classical music refers to music created under the background of European cultural traditions from the Baroque period (1600- 1750) to the early 20th century. It is different from pop music and national music and has eternal significance. From about 1600, the so-called baroque period (baroque is a technical term borrowed from the history of architecture and painting, which comes from Portuguese and means very irregular pearl; In Italian, it also means impulsiveness, exaggeration, willfulness and fantasy. ), European composers began to create early music, which was the beginning of classical music. In fact, many western classical music originated from music created for religious ceremonies and celebrations.
pop music
"Pop Music" is the translation of English pop music. So, what is pop music? Colbert Lloyd, a British musicologist, pointed out: In the whole field of music art, there is a vast zone between folk music and artistic music, where pop music is entrenched. Pop music has no clear boundaries, one points to folk music and the other to artistic music.

Evakasidi
People always have to wait until they lose it before they know how to cherish it. They can only leave a sigh for those who die young.
1996 33-year-old EvaCassidy bid farewell to the bustling world with cancer, and her singing became more and more popular after her death. /kloc-in October, the unknown Eva Cassidy died of skin cancer. At that time, people could only hear this number in several folk/jazz clubs in DC, USA. She is only 33 years old.
Now, Eva Cassidy's music has become the soul song unanimously affirmed in the global market. Her "Songbird" album reached the back seat of the British album charts in March this year, and recently it even set off a global snap-up. Except Amazon. Amazon.com of com, one of the best-selling albums in April, was selected by the British BBC as the list of the greatest singers in the 20th century, and Eva Cassidy ranked 2 1. This "Eva craze" makes all Eva Cassidy's albums collected by fans on a large scale at one time, which is quite rare in the pop music world. The authoritative American Entertainment Weekly magazine also reported the story of EVA in the latest issue.
Perhaps, somehow, although God was eager to let Eva ascend to heaven as an angel, Eva Cassidy's moving voice remained. Five years later, it spread all over the world, including Taiwan Province Province. At present, radio stations such as Power 989 or Academic Network are scrambling to play moving notes and convey Eva's singing magic. Eva's father also expressed his feelings about her success. "Eva never wanted to be famous, and her passion was devoted to singing and artistic creation." Of course, his daughter's absence still made him sad, not to mention her musical talent was inherited from her parents.
Most of Eva's albums are released by American independent brand Bix Street. The story begins like this. 1999, Paul Walters, DJ producer of BBC Radio, had no intention of getting Eva Cassidy's 1998 album "Singing Birds" from American friends. Paul heard Eva Cassidy cover Judy Lun Jia's "Over the Rainbow", and thought it was the first time that someone could sing this song as well as the original, and even took away Judy's glory. At that time, "Over the Rainbow" swept across Britain immediately after it was broadcast on the radio, and the BBC received hundreds of calls to introduce the song. Because this is the most fascinating song they have ever heard, it was not until last year (65438+February) that Over the Rainbow was widely broadcast on BBC TV and participated in charity activities in Britain that Eva Cassidy's singing charm was completely detonated. Suddenly, her records created a sales miracle in Britain, and many fans even reminded Eva to prepare facial tissues when recommending her, which made them want to cry easily.
In fact, the album Songbird is not her last record before, but it is the best collection of the past three albums, such as Eva By Heart, Live At Blues Alley and The Other. From the first live cover of Sting's "Golden Field", every Eva sang notes, lyrics and whispers. They are all touching, and I don't think it can be described as "nature is more or less out of reach", because Eva's singing is close to my heart, and with Eva's guitar playing, there is no doubt that "Singing Birds" has become a masterpiece that never stops.
Speaking of vocal music, the great thing about Eva is that the range of songs is very wide, which is quite surprising in this part. Whether it is traditional pop music, blues, jazz, folk songs, soul music and gospel, her voice has changed a lot, but the most rare thing is Eva's casualness and naturalness, which can control every song she wants to express, such as the singing ability and emotional integrity of "Wayfaring Stranger". Expressing her singing attempt is not just a cover. Eva Cassidy gave this song a new life. Another example is the cover of "Singing Birds" by Christine McVeigh, the female lead singer of Fliewood Mike Band. She arranged almost everything from chorus to performance, and her singing revealed the throb of a clear heart. When singing "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield, the master of soul music, I changed it to soul music, and then put on an electric guitar. The whole song seems to bring people back to the exquisite charm of the past. The gospel energy of "Oh, if I had a golden thread" is like a meteor across the sky, and Eva sings again with her life soul! Eva Cassidy has long hair, blue eyes and illustrations in her album. She really misses the world. Eva never likes to commercialize herself and insists on staying in non-mainstream records. She always likes to go cycling with her mother on Sundays and enjoy nature. Just as she sings, Eva sings a rainbow color. Nowadays, the global EVA craze proves that good music can stand the test of time.
