I do a lot of writing and can really cruise to instrumental music- vocals interfere with my concentrating on my own "inner voice". I have a half dozen different genre stations in which I've systematically given "thumbs down" to each vocal track. Still Pandora is delivering vocal tracks in these stations. Apparently it is not actually possible to train Pandora's stations very well, so we need a force setting to help.
In my experience, it didn't take much thumbing of tracks for Pandora to pick up on the fact that a particular station was intended to be instrumental songs only, and then to only play instrumental tracks. I only have two such stations, but I'm disappointed to hear that's not a consistent experience for others. If thumbing doesn't consistently work, I agree there should be a means of specifying this, but it begs the question, what other song-characteristics should be allowed to be turned on or off for a station? I think this touches on some other FR's I've seen for adding the ability to manually adjust all the criteria that selects songs for a station - i.e. all the 'music genome' characteristics, like "heavy vamping", and "male vocal aesthetic" and whatnot. I envision a slider for each where you can weight each aspect more or less heavily, and maybe others are just an on/off switch, like whether or not it's instrumental-only.

[edit] I've been listening to my "Rock Instrumental" station most of the day today, and I think I've had to thumb-down more lyric-containing songs than instrumentals I've actually listened to... it seems the thumbing algorithm isn't as good as it used to be at picking up on a desire for instrumental tracks. Today, I really want a selector for choosing instrumental-only tracks on a station. ...aaaaand another lyrical song just started playing as I'm typing this...[/edit]
I have created my own personal playlist just for reading. But my reading playlist has music with lyrics, softer but with lyrics. My playlist also has only instrumental music on it as well. But I do agree with you about the option to have. If you noticed I gave you a liking(vote). Well take care and be safe.
I agree with wisepeppy that it just takes a little training. I have created several stations that I seeded with instrumental-only tracks. After thumbing down just a few tracks with vocals, I now only hear instrumental tracks on those stations. It would be nice to have a feature to request this in the first place, but until then the workaround is relatively simple.
Music scholarship's views of Franz Schubert's instrumental works continue to evolve. How might aesthetic values, historiographies, revisions to the composer's biography, and disciplinary commitments affect how we interpret his music?
Schubert's Instrumental Music and Poetics of Interpretation explores the aesthetic positions and operations that underlie critical assessments of Schubert's instrumental works. In six chapters, each devoted to one or two of Schubert's pieces, Ren Rusch examines the conditions that have prompted scholarship to reevaluate the composer's music and legacy, considers how different conclusions about his music may be reflective of certain aesthetic values, investigates the role of narrative in both music analysis and constructions of history, and explores alternative forms of coherence through updated analyses of the composer's instrumental works. Rusch's observations and comparative analyses address four significant areas of scholarly focus in Schubert studies, including his approach to chromaticism, his unique musical forms, the relationship between his music and biography, and the influence of Beethoven.
Drawing from a range of philosophical, hermeneutic, historical, biographical, theoretical, and analytical sources, Schubert's Instrumental Music and Poetics of Interpretation offers readers a unique and innovative foray into the poetics of contemporary analyses of Schubert's instrumental music and develops new ways to engage with his repertoire.
Great music does not have to be dependent on memorable lyrics. Simply listening to the composition and creativity of an instrumental track can be just as rewarding. Here are some of the great instrumental tracks listed in chronological order.
Here, in the second installment of a two-part interview, BGS catches up with Thile about co-producing an album with his wife, finding inspiration in good wine, and why great instrumental music should emulate a warm dinner conversation.
April 15, 2009 at 09:46 PMĀ The discussion on another thread regarding Bach's music opens another subject area. Bach certainly autographed a large number of his works with a reference to God, but I find it odd that music which has no text (as in the sonatas/partitas discussed on another thread) can be identified as religious in nature simply because it was written by Bach. Bach certainly wrote works that were not written for the church (his gig though was as a church musician). But can we identify his instrumental works that were religious or non-religious simply by hearing their melody or harmony--or can we hear his intent because of voice leading? That interpretation can certainly leave the door open for many unintended consequences--some of which people (and some churches) are grappling with on a weekly basis. If we allow that some instrumental music can be identified as religious (or referencing God), then we also have instrumental music that is non-religious or pagan. Taking that thought process further, we then have music that must have other intrinsic qualities also, such as instrumental music that is inherently good or evil. Hummmm... slippery slope indeed.
April 16, 2009 at 05:24 AMĀ In my late teens I was a reborn christian (nobody is perfect ;-). I played electric guitar in my church band, it was in the 70s. Then they told me not to play Santana tunes, because Santana was then a dedicated follower of some obscure guru. They argued that his music was evil. I continued to play Santana songs (to great sucess) and explained that through my christian mind, soul and fingers this evil heathen music gets transformed into sacred music, inspired by the holy spirit. This experience was one reason for me to gradually become unable to take religion for serious.
Btw, a lot of the most beautiful baroque music uses religious themes and inspiration. The music is still alive and fresh, but the spiritual background is outdated. (I prefer instrumental music, partly because many of the words used in baroque oratorios kind of offend me.) It is significant that this music makes no difference between glorifying a secular or a ("the" ;-) divine lord, it's only a matter of who payed for the composer's job. So it is obvious that the music itself contains no spirituality in whatever sense, even if there may be some elements interpreted as symbols.
April 17, 2009 at 05:18 PMĀ Hitler did paint, and fancied himself as an artist, and there are paintings of his that survive. In fact, I heard on the news that a couple of his 1914 landscapes are being actioned off (If I heard correctly, starting at around $5,000). I've seen reproductions of some of his paintings in books. His paintings are neither good nor evil; they're just lousy. He did like Wagner (and Wagner was a rabid anti-Semite). Does that mean Wagner's music is evil? Maybe why so much of the discussion of Bach as the prime example of "good" or religious music is obviously because that's what inspired him and the church is what he wrote for. That religious "style" (including classic 4-part hymn harmonies and counterpoint) is certainly infused in his more purely instrumental writing. But I think that just as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," one can make the case that "good and evil are in the ear of the listener." No?

April 21, 2009 at 03:12 AMĀ This is indeed, an interesting and subjective subject. That said, I haven't read every word so far, and hope I won't be repeating much. I think that this goes to the larger question and long-standing debate about program music. That is, can purely instrumental music convey a specific story or scene, etc.? And do we get, if we are not told, what the composer had in mind, and if not, are we missing much? Various examples come to mind...
An instrumental or instrumental song is music normally without any vocals, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a big band setting. Through semantic widening, a broader sense of the word song may refer to instrumentals.[1][2][3] The music is primarily or exclusively produced using musical instruments. An instrumental can exist in music notation, after it is written by a composer; in the mind of the composer (especially in cases where the composer themselves will perform the piece, as in the case of a blues solo guitarist or a folk music fiddle player); as a piece that is performed live by a single instrumentalist or a musical ensemble, which could range in components from a duo or trio to a large big band, concert band or orchestra.
In a song that is otherwise sung, a section that is not sung but which is played by instruments can be called an instrumental interlude, or, if it occurs at the beginning of the song, before the singer starts to sing, an instrumental introduction. If the instrumental section highlights the skill, musicality, and often the virtuosity of a particular performer (or group of performers), the section may be called a "solo" (e.g., the guitar solo that is a key section of heavy metal music and hard rock songs). If the instruments are percussion instruments, the interlude can be called a percussion interlude or "percussion break". These interludes are a form of break in the song.
In commercial popular music, instrumental tracks are sometimes renderings, remixes of a corresponding release that features vocals, but they may also be compositions originally conceived without vocals. One example of a genre in which both vocal/instrumental and solely instrumental songs are produced is blues. A blues band often uses mostly songs that have lyrics that are sung, but during the band's show, they may also perform instrumental songs which only include electric guitar, harmonica, upright bass/electric bass and drum kit. 0852c4b9a8
