  1. Chapter 1 Section 4 The Global Roach of Music

  2. World Influences • Modern technology has allowed us to look up cultures far away from our own. • We tend to find out that far away places have been affected by their visitors. • Some musicians blend the music of their native lands with visitor’s music. • For example, singer Angelique Kidjo infuses West African music with American, European and Latin American music.

  4. West African Music • Music of West Africa has influenced has culture for years. • These unique percussive rhythms find their basis in African drumming. • Much of these rhythms include clave. • Clave- basic rhythmic pattern that provides the foundation for the complex rhythms played by multiple drums.

  5. West African Rhythms • This pattern is played on an iron bell or two rounded wooden sticks called “Claves.” • This can be played on any instrument as long as it is louder than the rhythmic drumming.

  7. European Influence on World Music • A large part of today’s American population has European influences. • Many people can trace their family back to a certain country. • Germany and Austria have a particular influence on musical culture.

  8. European Influences • These countries have given us traditional folk songs, hymns, and works by certain classical masters. • One of these masters is composer Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706). • Pachelbel is famous for writing his famous Canon in D.

  9. Johann Pachabel • http://www.last.fm/music/Johann+Pachelbel • Melody- an intentionally organized succession of musical tones • Pitch- the highness or lowness of sound determined by its frequency of vibration • In the case of Pachelbel, the pitch is D or (DO)

  11. Listening • Let’s listen to Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel • CD 1 #22 • This has a follow the leader structure like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” • Canon- a musical form where parts enter at different times but have the same melody throughout.

  12. European Influences • Most people don’t think about how Western classical music can relate to Jamaican reggae music. • CD 1 #23 “The Best Times of Our Lives” • CD1 #24 “Symphony No.40” • Let’s try to find something that both pieces have in common.

  13. Technology and the Future • We live in a technology driven world. • Satellite radio makes it possible to hear live broadcasts not carried by conventional radio stations. • If the Voyagers ever do come in contact with some faraway civilization, our musical store may become enriched in unimaginable ways. • Music may one day be shared between galaxies.
