Does anyone know what song this is? It's not the Serbian national anthem, and it wasn't in 1915, when this copy was published. All I was able to find was one recording by Jasmine Jankovic, but nothing beyond that. If anyone could provide any information about it, I would be very gracious. Thank you!

I have this Wagner Vocal Score with Piano accompaniment. Edited by Henry T. Finck. It seems to be copyright 1903. Can anyone confirm this or if there’s value to this?

Hi there, I decided it’s time for me to really dive deep into all kinds of music and discover what i really like. I learned about music theory and instruments and now am ready to really tackle the discover music problem. I went to sites like rate your music, which are certainly great, but I kinda feel like there’s too much out there and I’m not navigating it correctly. Also I don’t know which genres I will like and there are really a lot, so I kinda have to go through all of them, which is not a very systematic approach. I thought it would be nice to have something like a roadmap to the entire history of music at my disposal, so I could kinda see where everything is connected and decide which paths I will go down, based upon if I like the idea behind the creation of genre x. I wanted to ask here if someone maybe could help me out here, I did some Google searches but didn’t find what I was looking for. Thank you in advance!

Yesterday I was discussing the post on here about best complete albums. So many amazing options in that thread.... Because artist made 'albums' to be listened to as such.

What is happening now? What artist or band will define the times?

We brainstormed and spitballed, but where and who are today's musicians that will live on? I don't seen an Elvis, the battles, Micheal Jackson, zeppelin, Nirvana, or Sublime.

Is Rock n Roll dead? We have some great artists but who is iconic? What will.be 'the oldies' to lhr grandchildren?

Hi, I am a long time Afrobeat listener, although kind of new to the Highlife genre. I have also listened to plenty of Jamaican music, started with ska and then moved on into either roots reggae & dub or early-reggae, rocksteady and so on.

I recently came across an apparently pretty famous album from Pat Thomas - Path Thomas introduces Marijata and I was very impressed to realize how similar to some jamaican Boss Reggae / Rocksteady it sounds - see the song My Love will Shine . https://open.spotify.com/track/0bOkkiE0PtNi2yZ5CCoAbd?si=f0ccc0e02d034631
From an instrumental point of view, basslines and drums will give a strong accent to the 3rd beat like in reggae. The one guitar is almost skanking, while the other does a picking technique very similar to the one found in roots music. Having horns in the recording makes the parallelism even crazier. And the singers are so souly!
From a historical point of view, these genre parallelism doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as afaik Ska/Rocksteady comes from Mento, caribbean Calypso (ofc influenced by west african rythms, but it evolves into reggae already in the island) and soul, while Highlife is rooted on traditional ghanaian folk music that was later on influenced by western music in the style of jazz & funk, played with western instruments.
So my question to the reddit community: have the 2 styles taken a similar path in parallel, or was there any sort of influence between Ghana and Jamaica?

Lap steel and dobros all seem to be based in the 20th century as blues and bluegrass became a thing.

I'm curious about whether slides existed in earlier eras.

This is pretty random but it peaked my interest and I am curious to see if anyone knows anything more about this.

I was reading the credits on the 1968 album by Richie Havens "Mixed Bag" (one of my favourite albums) and looking at the writing credits because I know that Havens to my knowledge mostly covers songs but there are a few he is credited for, but one song caught my eye which was one of the personal stand out tracks to me, "Sandy" which is credited to Jean Pierre Cousineau, whom I looked up and found essentially nothing about, except that on Discogs that this song was his first credit and had only a handful of other credits in his career.

All the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd pictured on the cover of "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd" have since passed away. Yet they seem to escape the tag as a zombie band, a touring band where none or all of the original members have left.
Am I misunderstanding the concept of a zombie band or is there something about the current line-up and its history where they are seen as a legitmate successor?

It got me thinking about other pop/rock (not folk or traditional) songs that have a historical period or event or character as a theme. What others do you know?

Hi, I'm writing a paper on orchestral excerpts and I'm unsure how to cite it. Is it a manuscript? Is it even considered published?!? I've found a couple of lists I want to used published in other works. But more contemporary examples have not been included in any other research. And I don't think this is included in the Holoman book.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Hello all! First off, this post is in the wrong subreddit please let me know.

I have been listening to Public the band (John Vaughn, Ben Lapps, and Matthew Alvardo) and they have been pretty much radio silent for over 2 years, I have not been able to find much of anything regarding the band, their band is not listed under their Record Label's page, however the indivudal members have fairly active social media lives.

Does anyone know anything about the status of the band, new music, etc? I figure reddit is a million times better than a simple google snooping session.

Respectful greetings. I’m looking for where this term comes from. I heard it, it has something to do with rites, musicians who are not playing written music, rather translating the spiritual realm into sound.

Many thanks in advance for any indicators.
