Art, whether through the form of music, writing, reading,
painting, drawing, shaping, or anything at all, is a beautiful thing to be
enjoyed by all. The endless forms allow for expression in any form for any
purpose and is unlike any other marvel in the world. One of my favorite forms
of art is music because of its beautiful combination of poetry, sound, and
unity. Music can tell a story with little to no words just through the moving
sounds it produces.
It can be funny to think
how the classical stylings of Mozart, Bach, Brahms, and Chopin have translated
to works by Falco, Relient K, Xzibit, and Coolio. Producer and rap artist Chris
“Drumma Boy” Gholson puts it well when he said, “There is an electric synergy
between the two genres of Classical and Crunk, but one has to have a discerning
ear to recognize the instinctive connection.” Music has come a long way in a
few centuries, but it will forever be rooted close to the heart of its
beginnings.
Music has an undeniable
uniting force that can bring even the classical junkies together with today's
hip hop addicts. It can spread a message across the world - so as in the case
of the band System of a Down who's efforts can be understood and seen in the
documentary Screamers. Or the message
singer/songwriter Steve Moakler delivers with his music and heart (which can be
further understood after watching this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJC29MAB0Ws&feature=c4-overview&list=UUQJXQtCCDgzRUrZwGDCg_uQ).
The message that is able
to be spread with music is identical to that which is preached through other
forms, proving that art surely must be a beautiful uniting factor in the world.
