  • Impulse Songlist
    west coast music Impulse SPECIAL/PROTOCOL DANCES: Please note that we will need to have your special dance requests (i.e. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, etc) FOUR WEEKS prior to your event so that we can confirm the band will be able to perform the song(s) and so that we have enough time to locate sheet music and an audio sample of the song. In cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is needed, this gives us time to properly prepare the music. General song requests are not required, as many of our clients simply ask that the band read & react based on their guest's dance response. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs or artists they like and want played or avoided. If you wish to maintain the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested) we would ask for a minimum of 80 requests from the band’s songlist. 'LOW ROTATION' REQUESTS: General requests chosen from the 'Low Rotation' section of this songlist (pages 7-12) must be submitted at least FOUR WEEKS prior to your event. The songs from the 'Low Rotation' section are not in the current ‘IMPULSE’ song rotation, so the band would need extra preparation time.

  • Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

  • 11 January, 2016 March 3 , 2017
    C XC b 11th January, 2016 March 3rd, 2017 THE HIGHLIGHTS Economy Contracts by 1.3% in Q4 Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) recorded a negative real growth of -1.3% in Q4 (year-on-year). This brings the 2016 full year growth to -1.51%. The worst performing sector for the period was Mining and Quarrying (-12.04%), while Agriculture remains the top performer with an expansion of 4.03%. We expect a further improvement in Q1’2017 figures. CBN Reviews Forex Policy The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced plans to increase its supply of forex to banks to enable them meet demand for travel, medical and school fees. This will temporarily mitigate the current forex liquidity crisis. However, because the CBN still wants to determine price and quantity, the market will remain fragile. Eurobond Hits Successful Sales The Federal Government has completed the sales of its dollar denominated $1 billion euro bonds at a yield of 7.88%. The offer was almost 8 times oversubscribed, as investors bid over $7.8 billion for the 15-year bonds. These funds will boost and revive the economy. The bond has now been listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange PMI Plunges for Second Month this Year According to the CBN, Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 44.6 from 48.2 in February. This sharp decline raises significant concerns about the state of economy, especially in the light of an expected recovery. The performance of the manufacturing sector continues to be hindered by high operation costs and forex illiquidity.

  • A Level Music
    A level Music Areas of Study – Other Perspectives NB: updates to this document were made in April 2021 and these are highlighted in yellow. © artwork: Mark Bolitho | Origami photography Pearson Education Ltd/Justin Hoffman Introduction This qualification features a Component entitled Appraising. The purpose of this component is for students to develop their listening and appraising skills through the study of music across a variety of styles and genres. The content is grouped into six areas of study, containing either two or three set works. This component gives students the opportunity to reflect on, analyse and evaluate music in aural and/or written form. To achieve this objective, students need to use their knowledge and understanding of musical elements, context and language to make critical judgements about the repertoire and context of music within the areas of study. Students should also study a range of pieces beyond these set works. The suggested other musical pieces for each area of study (see Appendix 4 of the specification) provide students with breadth, enabling them to place their knowledge of musical elements, context and language in a wider context, and apply their knowledge and understanding to more pieces of music. The suggested other music can help students to relate their learning to music in the set works, but their study is not compulsory. Teachers can identify and teach other pieces of music to support their students’ learning. The following music and musicians are examples of how each of the areas of study can be approached from a diverse range of other perspectives. The pieces have been chosen to encourage students to think beyond the mainstream and over-represented composers and styles of music, and instead to consider alternative and less well-known types and origins of music.
