Love Songs Change, But They Also Stay the Same.

Of all the genres of music,
love songs
seem to be the most prevalent. Singers like Whitney Houston,
Mariah Carey, Celine Deon and Kenny Rogers have popularized
this type of music
and never seem to tire of expressing their feelings about romance,
falling in love for the first time, falling in love for good
or breaking up with someone they loved. Even rebellious punk
rockers and rappers feel the need to address these topics in
song
and sometimes it seems as if there isn't a singer alive who
hasn't experimented with the genre at some point in his or her
career.
So just how far back can we trace love
songs?
When Pharoah Rameses wanted to tell a beautiful, bronze-skinned
Egyptian lady that he found her desirable, did he have a court
musician sing something that sounded like "Love Me Tender"?
"In a way, he did," says recording artist Robin Frederick. According
to Frederick, 3500-year-old Egyptian love poems from pieces
of papyrus and pottery fragments have been recovered that are
filled with the language and sentiments we hear in today's pop
songs.
"Though they are thousands of years old," she says, "the earliest
love songs sound so contemporary, so honest, so urgent, they
might have been written yesterday. They are proof that human
emotions have not changed. When we fall in love today, we feel
what men and women felt in centuries past: desire, joy, disappointment,
yearning, fulfillment."
Throughout history love songs
have changed to suit the tenor of the times. For instance, in
the Gay Nineties & Tin Pan Ally, songwriters, and particularly
American popular songwriters, came into their own. It was an
era of letting loose and innocent flirtation. Novelty love songs
like "Jeepers, Creepers!" and "A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight"
were wildly popular. The 1930's and 40's represented the golden
age of American musical theater and saw love songs
from Broadway shows written by the likes of Rodgers & Hart and
Jerome Kern take off. The 1950's was the decade of love songs
from Frank Sinatra, while the 1960's saw the rise of love songs
targeted at teens. In the 1970's the teens grew up. By the time
Barry White charted with "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe"
in 1974, love songs
exhibited a sophisticated, sensual appreciation of romance sung
from an adult perspective. Then came along disco and tastes
changed again.
Today's eclectic mix of love songs
offers something for everyone. Whatever you're going though
on the romantic front, you're sure to find a singer who expresses
it in the style you like best.

Art/Photo/Music Reviews & Reports
"I don't know if it's
art but I know I like it." -- Walt Disney.
Art is an act of creation,
when images & objects, sights and sounds, or drawings
and carvings convey the beauty and splendor of the
world, or realize the imagination of the artist, for
the purpose of self-expression or the shared enjoyment
of its creation. Art is that which elevates our interpretation
of the world and of ourselves from simple description
or narrative to the sublime. The modern use of the
word "art", which rose to prominence after 1750, is
commonly understood to be skill used to produce an
aesthetic result (Hatcher, 1999). Britannica Online
defines it as "the use of skill and imagination in
the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or
experiences that can be shared with others". By any
of these definitions of the word, artistic works have
existed for almost as long as humankind, from early
pre-historic art to contemporary art (Cited from "Art"
on Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia website. Click

Art/Photo/Music Articles & Contents
Around 500 A.D., western civilization
began to emerge from the period known as "The Dark
Ages," the time when invading hordes of Vandals, Huns,
and Visigoths overran Europe and brought an end to
the Roman Empire. For the next ten centuries, the
newly emerging Christian Church would dominate Europe,
administering justice, instigating "Holy" Crusades
against the East, establishing Universities, and generally
dictating the destiny of music, art and literature.
During this time, Pope Gregory I is generally believed
to have collected and codified the music known as
Gregorian Chant, which was the approved music of the
Church. (Cited from Music History 102 -- "a Guide
to Western Composers and their Music
from the Middle Ages to the Present" on ipl:
The Internet Public Library website. Click
