After learning about active listening in Unit 3, it is time to put your active listening skills to the test and try them out! For this lab, you will be exploring two different pieces of music using the listening checklist described in the unit—and your active listening skills, of course!

Start by finding and selecting two pieces of music online. You are free to choose whatever type of music you like: pop, rock, rap, classical, instrumental, etc. Do your best to select something that is as appropriate as possible (i.e., as free as possible from curse words and inappropriate content) as your teacher will be listening to your selections too.

Create a word processing document and copy/paste a link for each musical selection in it. Below each music selection, copy/paste or recreate this chart (seen below).

Listen carefully to your first musical selection at least twice. Then, fill out the chart based on your listening. Repeat the process for the second musical selection.

Download this chart to analyze each piece of music:
RTF (Edit) PDF (Print)
After you have listened to each music selection and filled out the listening chart for each, it’s time to do some comparing and contrasting.

Write a one- to three-paragraph essay that compares and contrasts the two pieces of music that you listened to. If you need some help with what specific things to compare/contrast, refer to the listening charts that you filled out or the questions below:

How do the two musical pieces differ?
How are the two musical pieces similar?
Were the instruments featured in the two pieces different from each other?
What differences or similarities were there in tempo, or speed, of the music?
Were there any differences in what you were imagining as you listened to each piece? Did you hear a story in either piece? What emotions were evoked from listening to each song?
For information on how you will be graded, please refer to the rubric below.

Answer:

  Have you ever wondered how Country and Rap music differ? Music genres include pop, rock, jazz, rap, and country. But most of them have some commons, which confuses many. I compare rap to country music in this essay. After reading this article, you should realize how much country and rap music share and how little they vary. There are many features that individual might compare. Most people assume Rap and Country music are quite different, although they have many commonalities, such strong female performers, and meaningful lyrics. Despite their differences, rap and country have a lot in common.

Rap and country lyrics are opposite. Despite their musical differences, the performers' performances and presentations have certain parallels. Before a country performance, folks tailgate and grill in the parking lot. Most rap fans come a few minutes early and take their seats. For example, most country performers are white, whereas most rap artists are black. While many white individuals attend rap concerts, few black people attend country concerts. The crowds at each concert are also different ages. Rap performances attract teenagers whereas country concerts draw all ages. These musicians can perform everywhere. Most rap concerts tend to be staged in indoor settings like basketball stadiums, theaters, or hockey rinks. Some country concerts are hosted inside, but most are staged outside in amphitheaters. Also, many county performers play during summer fairs and festivals.

The music is clearly the largest difference between the two events. The musical instruments vary greatly. A rap concert usually simply has a DJ playing tracks on stage. A country performance features a wide range of musical instruments. Some performers play their own instruments, but most have backing bands. These ensembles include a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist. There is even a violin, banjo, or harmonica.

Lyrics are as vital as a singer's voice. A vocalist typically picks or creates a song that has a deeper significance to them. A song's lyrics may convey a wide range of emotions. They prefer to sing about love and sex. However, rappers are more candid than country performers. People like to country and rap music because they can connect to the lyrics. A song that is not relatable will not sell as well. When you listen to a music, you want the lyrics to signify something to you. When life becomes tough, some individuals resort to song lyrics. It makes you feel better knowing someone else has been through it and won.

Famous rappers include Eminem. He wrote a lot of songs about his life, kids, troubles, and feelings. His song "Mockingbird" is typical of his music. "Hayleigh, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad, while I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had." (“Eminem - Mockingbird Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) During a difficult period, he penned this song for Haleigh. The music of country performers is not used to describe their life narrative. They sing about love, loss, or fun. Instead of delivering a tale, country performers utilize song to communicate sentiments. A superb musician, Clint Black. He created "When I Said I Do" for his wife. Here is the chorus: "When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time be faithful and true, devoted to you. (“Kenny Lattimore - When I Said I Do Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) That's what I had in mind when I said I do.”

In conclusion, music is like most things in life. Overall, both country and rap music contain essential and personal lyrics. Rap artists use their music to convey a tale, while country musicians use their music to express sentiments rather than tell a story.

It is March 15, in the year 2514. The people of former New York are in desperate circumstances. They are being overrun, and they are losing hope. The banners proclaiming a Free the Real NYC lie in the gutters, trampled by terrified and panicked citizens. Two teens– or kidz, as they are called now– are on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walk in the shadows to avoid detection, they both trip on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface are a series of scratched-out words. The only words they can make out are, "he will prevail." They drag the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twist it open. The glow from their flashlights reveals the contents of the cylinder. With gasps of relief, they look at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.
Adam and Bridget were walking home one night from a Free the Real NYC meeting. They were walking in the shadows to avoid being caught by the curfew police when they tripped over a huge titanium cylinder. There were three words etched on it that they could read. "He will prevail?", Bridget asked quizzed, "What's that supposed to mean?" Out of curiosity, Adam opened the container. They shone their flashlights at the titanium cylinder as they gasped in awe and relief. It was a news article from December 13, 2505! It was written about how the leader of the formerly NYC was planning to build a machine that could wipe out the entire city! They rushed back to the secret base of the Free the Real NYC resistance. They put the container on the table. Now that it was in better lighting, they could read the rest of the etchings. They read ψοφώ, Greek for "I'm dying." They learn that the etching was written by the founder of the resistance, Henry Gihigal. He wrote it when the leader of the Cultists, Tabea Thomas, was torturing him with methods unheard of. He wrote the "He will prevail" section speaking of the resistance. The "ψοφώ" was to tell the resistance to choose a new leader. They started planning their attack to make sure that the machine was destroyed.

Read the following passage from the Bible: Daniel 1:8-16 (ESV).

"But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.” Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's food. So the steward took away their food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables."

B: So he asked permission from the chief eunuch

I was so excited when he told me I would finally have my chance that I was bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball and springing from one place to the next the rest of the day. It will be carefully hidden and buried underground It requires everyday equipment in order to locate it.

One of the many things that authors have to consider when writing is the audience they are writing for. The author may use specific techniques to interest a particular audience, or shape their writing to ensure that their specific audience will understand the main ideas. For example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. Your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.
