Music

Hello, my name is Rita and I am a student of Applied foreign languages at Marijampole College.
This is my individual task for the course in conference interpreting.
Today I will talk about music and its genres.
Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony and colour.
Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, it may be concluded that music may have been in existence for at least 50,000 years and the first music may have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.
And now I would like to introduce to you 5 most popular music genres.
5. R&B Music - Rhythm & Blues is a music genre, which first appeared in America, in the late 1930s.This beautiful music genre appeared in times, when the American, white pop music was stuck in a creative crisis. Today the most popular R&B singers are Alicia Keys, Mary J Blide, Usher and Beyonce.
4. Pop Music - the phrase 'pop song' first appeared in 1926 as a description of a piece of art 'having a popular appeal'. A couple of decades later, in the 1950s, people started to use the term 'Pop music‘. And today, Pop music as we know it, is electric and energetic, including rock, Latin, dance and even country elements. Its main purpose is to encourage dancing and make us hum the latest summer hit.
3. Jazz Music - this music genre is extremely difficult to define. It first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century and generally it is a combination of harmony, form elements and African-based music. What is interesting about this music genre is that improvisation is considered to be one of its main elements. The most common music instruments are saxophone and piano, which are the heart of its magic.
2. Techno Music - techno music is music genre, which combines a huge variety of sub-genres. It emerged during the mid-to-late 1980 in Detroit, Michigan and since then has moved to spread all over the world. Minimal techno, funk, electro, Chicago house, electric house – all these genres are representatives of techno music. Today, there is a great number of techno music festivals, gatherings which gather people from all around the globe to enjoy its energetic rhythms and unique sounds.
1. Rock Music - rock music can be described as simply the most popular music genres of all times. Favourite to millions of people, Rock ballads are never-dying. Names such as Deep Purple, Eagles, Metallica, Gun'n'Roses will stay in our hearts forever. The era of Elvis Presley is one of the most memorable and significant things in the history of music. The King had touched the hearts of people from all over the world and changed their concept of art, music and inspiration.
Music is passion as we know it and we all love it. We use it to tell our stories, to cry, and have a great time. In music, words are not just words anymore; they are much higher. Music - connects us all.
Thank you.
