"Hey Jude" is a perfect song to be sung by a huge crowd like this considering it was originally sung by a band. This Beatles song is essentially written to be sung by multiple voices and even in the original music video had a large group of people sing along to it. In order to sing this song to it's full extent, you need a large group of people, and I feel that this crowd does just that.]]> 2018-02-15 18:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232082919 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232170614 As seen in the "Hey Jude" sing-along, participatory music values it's participants involvement more than their musical talent. Individually, the majority of them were not great singers, but all together they created something very enjoyable. As a pretty poor singer myself, this is something that I really like about participatory music. You don't need to be a talented musician, you just need to have the passion to join in. ]]> 2018-02-15 21:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232170614 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232179669 This image showcases just how nomadic and casual participatory music can be. It can just be you and your friends singing along in the car. This type of music is not meant to be listened to on your playlist but something you experience in the moment and around other people. There is no pressure to be good or put on a show. WIth participatory music like this, your goal is just to unite with the people around you and have a good time with them.

I feel that this casualness is the root of participatory music. It's making music for enjoyment and for connecting with those around you. Even in the ritual traditions, it is about coming together to make something as one. In that, participatory music is a very social event that really has no limits on where it can take place or on who can join in and participate.]]> 2018-02-16 00:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232196351 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232197366 The point of participatory music is, as it sounds, for people to participate in it and so there are very few limits on who can join in. ]]> 2018-02-16 00:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232197366 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232201729 I haven't physically been to many concerts in my life but I have watched quite a few on TV or on youtube. I feel that concerts can very much so be a hit or miss depending on the showmanship and talent of the performers. Not only do they need to have musical talent but they also must display a good stage presence in order to keep the audience entertained. Even in the more classical examples, they need to convey this sort of energy and passion to the audience.]]> 2018-02-16 00:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232201729 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232219104 I'm not too familiar with BTS but I had heard their song "Mic Drop Remix" on the radio quite a bit and I was very impressed when I saw this performance of theirs. This group does a perfect job of captivating the audience and keeping them focused on their performance. BTS is the main focus of this production with the camera barely ever panning to show the audience. You don't want to miss any part of their stage show by taking the camera's eyes off them.]]> 2018-02-16 03:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232219104 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232221546 BTS does a great job of sustaining the interest of the audience with their amazing and very impressive choreography. They display a momentous amount of energy, never missing a beat and never slowing down. A lot of the music I typically listen to isn't the type that I feel the need to see in concert. It's more melodic and soft toned, and I really get the best experience listening with my headphones on laying down in bed. Pop music like BTS really shines on the stage however. They use an array of lights and choreography, along with their upbeat and energetic tone to keep the audience interested, which I think is a very awe-inspiring skill. It can take just as much talent to be an impressive performer as it does to be a great musician. ]]> 2018-02-16 03:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232221546 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232224543 2018-02-16 04:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232224543 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232225299 Presentational music doesn't always have to be this spectacular show. The goal is to showcase the talent and captivate the audience. This audience shows the performers great respect by sitting still and staying quiet in order to fully experience their music.

Participatory music is a more laid back signing with friends type of event in my life, whereas presentational music is a pre-planned musical event where I want to go experience and appreciate the music of an artist that I really like. Participatory music has no audience or musical expectations but presentational music has exactly that. Presentational music is for artist to showcase their musical talent but in participatory music, talent does not matter. In the end, both types of music are very social events that connect people together, whether it be through the people that you are actually singing and making music with, or just through the people in the crowd with you that are enjoying the show. Whether it's singing karaoke with your friends or attending a classical music concert, it's about connecting to the music.]]> 2018-02-16 05:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232227532 bluelighting0012 https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232229658 2018-02-16 05:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bluelighting0012/Module5Padlet/wish/232229658
