My Favorite Music
My favorite music style is alternative rock. I can listen to it both loud and at the background. This music makes me cheerful but sometimes even sad. Earlier I thought that alternative rock included only hard and loud music, it was not quite true. Alternative rock can be slow and very beautiful.
My favorite group is Muse. I think it's fantastic. It is a popular British group. They play alternative rock which is original and interesting. Muse is a very successful group. Their concerts are always visited by many people and the concert halls practically don`t have free places. Their songs are touching and meaningful. Their soloist plays very beautiful and exciting melodies on the grand piano.
I have never been to the concerts of this group, because they have never come to my country. But I want to see them very much. And I hope that soon I will go to the concert of Muse, the best group of the world!

Most modern parents whose children go to school are wondering: why write compositions in a music lesson? Even if it will be an essay based on a piece of music! Absolutely fair doubt! Indeed, even 10-15 years ago, a music lesson involved not only singing, reading music, but also listening to music (if the teacher had the technical capabilities for this).
A modern music lesson is needed not only to teach a child the correct singing and knowledge of notes, but also to feel, understand, analyze what he hears. In order to correctly describe the music, it is necessary to work out several important points. But more on that later, but first, an example of an essay based on a piece of music.
Composition of a 4th grade student
Of all the pieces of music, W. A. Mozart's play "Rondo in the Turkish Style" left the greatest impression on my soul.
The work begins immediately at a fast pace, the sound of violins is heard. I imagine two puppies running from different directions to one tasty bone.
In the second part of the Rondo, the music becomes more solemn, loud percussion instruments are heard. Some moments are repeated. It looks like puppies, having grabbed a bone with their teeth, begin to pull it, each to himself.
The final part of the piece is very melodic and lyrical. You can hear the piano keys running. And my imaginary puppies stopped quarreling and calmly lay down on the grass, tummies up.
I really liked this work because it is like a little story - interesting and unusual.
How to write an essay on a piece of music?
Preparing to write an essay
- Listening to music. It is impossible to write an essay on a piece of music if you do not listen to it at least 2-3 times.
- Thinking about what you hear. After the last sounds have subsided, you need to sit in silence for a while, fixing in your memory all the stages of the work, putting everything “on the shelves”.
- It is necessary to define the general .
- Planning. The essay must have an introduction, body and conclusion. In the introduction, you can write about what work was listened to, a few words about the composer.
- The main part of the composition of a musical work will be completely based on the play itself.
- It is very important when drawing up a plan to make notes for yourself how the music begins, what instruments are heard, quiet or loud sound, what is heard in the middle, what ending.
- In the last paragraph, it is very important to convey your feelings and emotions about what you have heard.
Writing an essay on a piece of music - how many words should there be?
Both in the first and in the second grade, children talk about music orally. From the third grade, you can already begin to leave your thoughts on paper. In grades 3-4, the essay should be from 40 to 60 words. Pupils in grades 5-6 have a larger vocabulary and can write about 90 words. And the great experience of seven- and eighth-graders will allow describing the play with the help of 100-120 words.
An essay on a piece of music should be divided into several paragraphs according to the meaning. It is advisable not to build too large sentences so as not to get confused by punctuation marks.

When I first heard Vysotsky's song about a friend, I liked it. I liked the way the author performed it. But with each subsequent time, I realized that the song is not just beautiful, it has a meaning.
The lyrics of the song say how important it is to have a friend. But how do you know it's real? Vysotsky sings that a friend needs to be taken to the mountains, and then it will become clear what kind of person he is and how he treats me. So I thought about what if there are no mountains nearby? And who will let me go to the mountains alone with a friend? Of course, whoever coined these words had something else in mind. I became curious and asked my grandfather.
Grandpa said that he likes this song very much. And that at one time he also pondered the meaning of words for a long time. He understood these lines about the mountains as if you recognize a person only after some kind of test. But you do not need to arrange this check yourself. Then a friend, even if he is real, may be offended. Grandfather said that sooner or later, but the time will come to test friendship. Joy or sorrow will force us to respond and be together with a comrade. And how sincerely we are happy for a friend, or wholeheartedly want to help him, will depend on how real friends we are.
Vysotsky has many songs. And they are all interesting. Some are funny and some are serious. But I love the one where the real price of friendship is shown. After all, there cannot be 100 or 200 friends. These are all acquaintances. People we just met and learned a little about. There are no friends and 10 or 20. These are comrades about whom we know a little more than about acquaintances. We communicate with comrades, help them if we can. But there are 1-2 friends. These people will help and support even if they can’t, if it’s hard for them. They will always be there under any circumstances.
Composition: My favorite song
There are a lot of songs now. A variety of genres. New and not so much. My relatives always sang songs at all holidays. The songs were sung in a variety of ways.
Every day and every hour on the radio, TV, the Internet, in the player, we hear a lot of very different music and songs, without them it is difficult to imagine modern life.
Songs can be simple and not very, funny and sad. Most often I choose a song according to my mood. But I have one favorite song. I am a 5th grade student and I love girly TV shows. And my favorite song from Charmed is "How Soon Is Now" by Love Spit Love. In general, I love rock as much as TV shows. But as I heard this song at the beginning of one of the series, I fell in love with it immediately. It would seem nothing special. But something about the song grabbed me. Probably the series also influenced, because I always listened to it at the beginning of each series, I tried not to miss it. Then I found the full version, downloaded it, and continue to listen even now, when the series is over. The music in the song is quite calm for this genre, especially for the one I listen to. But I like her more and more. I am delighted with this song. In translation, it is called this: “When will you live in the present?” And it really captures the essence of the series. It sings about the son and heirs. This is a rather unobtrusive and calm music, albeit from the rock genre. She is special. This song is as mesmerizing as the show, maybe that's why I love it so much. I guess I'm not the only one who likes her. And this is not surprising, the music in it is really good, and the performance is cool.
This is the coolest song I have ever listened to and heard. It doesn't exist anymore and probably never will. The performers really did their best. The song "How Soon Is Now" creates a positive mood, gives only a good mood. And when I'm sad, I listen to this song. The mood is getting better.
Among these melodies there is a motive for any mood: romantic, positive or dreary, to relax and not think about anything, or, conversely, to collect your thoughts.
