Multi- Genre
Research
Paper
The
Evolution

and History
of Music
Dear Reader,

This is a multi-genre research paper about the history of music. This

kind of topic has a very broad and wide topic because of how music was formed.
These days, people were so into different genres of music, they sang it, they danced
with it and some people made it a tool to relax. However, we do not really know
how it was born or how was it made. Different genres of music shows how people
and musicians improved their own skills and showcase their talents about world of
music.
The whole purpose of this multi-genre research paper is to let other
people know that music is not just only for musician or music minded people but
also for ordinary ones. On this project, we will be able to know when music was
made and how it was formed. The Evolution of Music still remains as a misery and a

question to other people who do not really understand anything about it. As a result,
I dug deeper about this topic and hopefully would help you.
I chose this topic because I love music and I grew up with it. My father
was a band member before and he raised me up with music every single day of my
life. As a music lover, I do not really have a lot of idea about how music was before
because of the generation Im living. I applied music to every aspects of my life and
I used it as a tool for my relaxation. I wanted to be a pilot before but then days
passed by and I was so into music ever since and I want to have a music career.
Music is one of the most important matter in my life. The magic that brings me
makes my life much easier.

Evolution of Music Poetry

Music was first heard from a Gregorian

chant Back in 500 A.D where
musicians were triumphant
Composers like Gregory and
Charlemagne

Romantic music was more expressive

and emotional

Both composed songs with a glass of

champagne.

You c an hear cries and dramas on

their vocals

Renaissance music was strongly made

It was a tool to praise church and
trade
The greatest composer Franco Flemish
Made music stunning and will never
vanish.

Some pieces were made as a figure of

nationalism
The period where everybody fought
for communism
20th century was the combination of
technology and music
Listening to radio and amplifiers in just
one click
Music was more popular and portable

Baroque period made instrumental

music defined

That is why they were selling

headphones very affordable.

Concerto and sonata were played

perfectly fine
Composers such as Bach, Handel and
Vivaldi
Made tons of music with the best
quality.

21st century is modern music and the

most popular
Generation of best songs and artists
so far
Everybody wants to be a musician and
have fame

Classical Era was a bursts of

composers

They think that this is the only way to

have a name.

Like Mozart, Stamitz, Beethoven and

Richers
Pieces of music was played with lute
and piano
They can choose how to sing it duo or
solo.

Different genres should never be

forgotten
Other harsh and cruel music should be
forbidden
We should show respect and gratitude
to musicians

They brought magic in the world and

they should be considered magicians.

Grab the microphone and hit the high

note
Strum your guitar and and sing until
your vocals would float
Me and the band just wanna be jazzy
So everybody would feel like they
want some more groovy
Music is everything we do and music is
the real magic.

Song Lyrics
The Magic of Music

We can do magic
Magic that people can always do
Magic that we can be true
Something that we could offer for you
Music is the magic we can spread
Life without music would be misery
A mysterious move that would never
be solve
Every little thing it does is magic
That turns our life moves on
Music for you and for all
We gather from different genres
before
Do it to the music groove and shake it
I wanna do it to the music and I would
feel to like it
Because we are all about music
How deep love and passion we apply
to it

Notes Page
Page 4 is a lists of most influential people in music industry and lists of
songs that can never be forgotten. I really agree with what the
information had given me. The lists would never be the same until we still
keep progressing and get way better and better because of technology
and the unlimited sources of humankind. As of now, these lists are based
on people who were asked and most songs played all over.
Page 5 is a timeline of how music first created. It shows how the music
was progressing as time goes by and how modern music is now. As time
goes by, these genres would probably keep adding and keep progressing
because of brilliant ideas of musicians.
Page 6 is my own personal poetry. I wrote this poem while listening to
other genres of music and it took me forever to figure out what to write. I
personally described them with the help of my resources. The poem shows
the proper order of genres of music but I did not include the branches of
every genres because it will make more pages needed.
Page 7 is a song lyric that I wrote. I know I am not really good about it but
I tried. I just started to write a poem because my own perception of song
is it starts off with a poem and just keep putting beats on it. I love writing
music no matter what topic it is so this one was not that hard to do as
what I thought of.
