Parents Music Resource Center Tipper Gore, cofounder of the Parents Music Resource Center The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was an American committee formed in 1985 with the stated goal of increasing parental control over the access of children to music deemed to be violent, have drug use or be sexual via labeling albums with Parental Advisory stickers. The committee was founded by four women: Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of former Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius. Actions[edit] As a method of combating this alleged problem, the PMRC suggested a voluntary move by the RIAA and the music industry to develop "guidelines and/or a rating system" similar to the MPAA film rating system. The PMRC also released the Filthy Fifteen, a list of the 15 songs they found most objectionable: Senate hearing[edit] Transcript Supporting witnesses[edit]

George Frideric Handel George Frideric Handel (/ˈhændəl/;[1] German: Georg Friedrich Händel; German pronunciation: [ˈhɛndəl]; (1685-02-23)23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759(1759-04-14)) was a German-born Baroque composer famous for his operas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. Born in a family indifferent to music, Handel received critical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712), and became a naturalized British subject in 1727.[2] By then he was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition.

Camille Saint-Saëns Camille Saint-Saëns Early years and education[edit] Saint-Saëns was born in Paris, France, on 9 October 1835. His father, a government clerk, died three months after his birth. He was raised by his mother, Clémence, with the assistance of her aunt, Charlotte Masson, who moved in. In the late 1840s, Saint-Saëns entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied organ and composition, the latter under Fromental Halévy. Middle years[edit] Saint-Saëns early in his career. From 1861 to 1865, Saint-Saëns held his only teaching position as professor of piano at the École Niedermeyer, where he raised eyebrows by including contemporary music — Liszt, Gounod, Schumann, Berlioz, and Wagner — along with the school's otherwise conservative curriculum of Bach and Mozart. Saint-Saëns was a multi-faceted intellectual. In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War, in spite of lasting less than 10 months, left an indelible mark on the composer.

Henry Purcell Henry Purcell (/ˈpɜrsəl/;[1] c. 10 September 1659[2] – 21 November 1695), was an English composer. Although incorporating Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions, Purcell's legacy was a uniquely English form of Baroque music. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest English composers; no other native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar. Early life and career[edit] Purcell is said to have been composing at nine years old, but the earliest work that can be certainly identified as his is an ode for the King's birthday, written in 1670.[9] (The dates for his compositions are often uncertain, despite considerable research.) In 1679, he wrote some songs for John Playford's Choice Ayres, Songs and Dialogues and also an anthem, the name of which is not known, for the Chapel Royal. Later career and death[edit] Purcell's manuscript copy of When on my sick bed I languish (c. 1680) 17th-century etching of Purcell In the name of God Amen.
Antonio Vivaldi Antonio Vivaldi in 1725 Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi had been employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also had some success with stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival and Vivaldi himself died less than a year later. Though Vivaldi's music was well received during his lifetime, it later declined in popularity until its vigorous revival in the first half of the 20th century. Life[edit] Childhood[edit] Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was born in 1678 in Venice,[2] then the capital of the Republic of Venice. The president of the Sovvegno was Giovanni Legrenzi, an early Baroque composer and the maestro di cappella at St Mark's Basilica.

Minor third Minor third Play equal tempered or just (6:5). 19th harmonic (19:16), E19♭ Play . A helpful way to recognize a minor third is to hum the first two notes of Greensleeves or Light My Fire. One author feels that the minor third is commonly used to express sadness in music, and research shows that this mirrors its use in speech, as a tone similar to a minor third is produced during sad speech.[2] A minor third, in just intonation, corresponds to a pitch ratio of 6:5 ( Play (297.51 cents, the nineteenth harmonic) with only 2.49 cents error.[3] Other pitch ratios are given related names, the septimal minor third with ratio 7:6 and the tridecimal minor third with ratio 13:11 in particular. The minor third is classed as an imperfect consonance and is considered one of the most consonant intervals after the unison, octave, perfect fifth, and perfect fourth.
