Example 1: Machaut - 'Epistle'
from Messe de Notre Dame
Example 2: Miles Davis - "Bitches Brew"
Example 3: Javanese Gamelan
Example 4: Run-D.M.C. - "Peter Piper"
Example 5: He is Alive - "Are You Comin' Down?"
Example 6: Mozart - Papageno's Aria
from The Magic Flute
Example 7: Sex Pistols - "God Save the Queen"
Example 8: Berio - "Visage"
In case this particular example (Berio's Visage) perplexes you, you may find Young Thug's "Old English" quite intersting. Berio's composition is sampled for use in this tune! [Thanks to Aiden (Fall 2021) for turning me on to this recording! Hmmm ... wonder if Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs, or A$AP Ferg took my rock history class ... ??? ;)]
Example 9: Sioux Grass Dance
Example 10: Scott Johnson - "John Somebody"
Sound & silence organized in time that communicates (non-verbally) within a cultural context.
