"Concert Suite in D Major", Muddy Waters, "Baby, Please Don't Go", and Moods (pg 160)

This instrumental song "Concert Suite in D Major" sounds very classy. When you hear it, you can automatically tell its a classical song. It also sounds like music you would here in the past. People would be dancing at a ball to this song. I like the use of violin in the song because it sounds very smooth and relaxing.

Muddy Waters song "Baby, Please Don't Go" sounds like music you would hear in a bar or on the radio. This song makes you wanna dance because it has a certain rhythm to it. It's very upbeat.

These two songs are very different because I think the first song would be for the rich, but the second one would be for people of a lower class. The first one sounds like it is being played in a ballroom and people are doing a waltz. The second song is more free and open where you can dance all across the room.

In page 160 of Moods, Hoffman talks about the music we listened too (the blues and Telemann- Classical song). I think Hoffman mentions the blues and classically music because it was an important thing when he was growing up. In the past, music was developing and people were finding what they liked and disliked. The blues was a genre that everyone was used too in the past and that was the music that surrounded them. But when Telemann started making classical music, it sounded like it did not fit. It felt out of the ordinary for some people because they were used to the blues. These two genres of music are very different. While the blues fitted society like a perfect suit, Telemann's music was strange to them.
