Music Dimensions.
Although music is one of the greatest mood changers around, I am a firm believer in the idea that everyone has their own independent likes and dislikes, musical preference can say a lot about someone’s personality. While each historical time frame seems to shift with the musical background that it creates, to love music you do not have to be a follower of the current popular music themes. I have turned to more classical pieces that continually stimulate my emotions but in my early teens Elvis Presley seemed to dominate the airtime followed by Cliff Richard and then the Beatles. I appreciated their talent but there were times that for me when I wanted something else to motivate my emotions I then heard and discovered the Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. I let my imagination gallop along aside the music with a heart pounding crescendo. That was followed by The Planets by Gustav Holst. Each piece with it evokes a particular shade of colour and set of feelings. Music does appear to be a go to, and as an example widely recognised is the notion that if you want a more sombre reflectional time for thought then the Madame Butterfly aria by Puccini does the job.
Music is a kaleidoscope of enjoyment, colours and memories. It can stimulate the mind and stir the feelings that then go on to influence you in life. Indeed music as a technique for improvement in how people function has been used in schools, care homes and rehabilitation centres. Why is this? In the areas of education and recouperation, music has been found to do wonders for calming the mind or for stimulating the more energetic capacity to put effort to work. Studies have shown that a little music goes a long way, improvement in work done while carried out with music in the background, has in fact radicalised not only how well people have functioned but also how altered the sense of how enjoyable the tasks were to do.
There is no doubt that music has many dimensions. What do I mean by this? Music is varied and multi-layered, it can be thought about and used in many ways. I never tire of familiar themes of particular pieces of music, as I have no doubt Beethoven's 5th Symphony will be an example of this for many listeners. Beethoven is considered a musical gem by many and for those who appreciate the classical tones, it can delight the soul. There is another aspect to music that enhances its ability to captivate. Historically individuals such as Beethoven were able to prove that talent as such could inspire and move a generation to look to the future. In this world it so easy to be defined by cultural or theoretical boundaries and that is why I find the music in The Hunt for Red October so moving in its portrayal of united determination. It is the combined sound and tempo that is so compelling. The music interwoven into Close Encounters of the Third Kind sparked my imagination, as it has a haunting scene which has at first only a few notes produced by a computer and then a musical response that alludes to contact with alien life. You imagine, think and then literally see with the mind’s eye the themes that the music has given. Tubular Bells is a pleasant interlude to listen to, it can be a stimulating setter of themes. Everyone has their own musical memory book, but what is so important is what it means to you?
Classical music may be seen as categorised by some but it can be every bit as relevant to the day that we live in. Tchaikovsky 1812 overture with deafening canons and church bells peeling is intriguing because it can be reminiscent depending on the person, to places, events or significant personal history. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Nessun Dorma are examples of how music can be historical and modern because no matter when, they can influence the emotions. As pieces of music, generation upon generation can not fail to be moved by them and there are so many top quality renditions that they can positively affect multiple cultures.
Music, I am happy to say, is now no longer only a pastime for the privileged few but a love for everyone who would like to access it. There are free tools that mean time or money now need not be a restriction as for how one would like to appreciate such a stimulating ally in life as music, it is there for the taking and for that fact the making. It gives enjoyment, inspiration and moreover it can be the basis as for how someone taps into and speaks to the communities, cultures and nationalities that they would like to learn about and be a part of defining.
