Hook:

Formal Ceremonies can vary from sporting events to the death of a person of great importance. These ceremonies bring people together and embraces a nation's spirit. Formal ceremonies can vary from being quiet and sad to very jubilous but they ensure that people still remain united under one belief. Formal ceremonies are always occuring throughout the world on any day whether it is an anniversary of a country, an anniversary of a married couple, the birth of a new born, the birthday of the president, or a gathering of people at a sports event.

Billy: Formal ceremonies are always important to celebrate and honor times of great despair or great times.

There are many things that bring people together such as: Fifa World Cup, Sporting events, Death of people, and many more. America has many traditions such as the Pledge of allegiance

I Pledge Allegiance To the flag Of the United States of America And to the republic For which it stands One nation Under god Indivisable With liberty And Justice for all



Hail to the Chief is usually played for when the president makes an appearance or is about to make a speech to the people of the United States Of America. Whether it be a formal speech or an address to the public about a problem.

On March 4, 1829, the Marine Band performed at the inauguration of President Andrew Jackson, the first inaugural ceremonies held on the U.S. Capitol steps. President Martin Van Buren instituted formal outdoor concerts on the U.S. Capitol grounds, a tradition carried on today during the summer months. President William Henry Harrison died one month after his inauguration, and the Marine Band led his funeral cortege on April 4, 1841.

President John Tyler is believed to be the first to use "Hail to the Chief" as the official Presidential honors. "Hail to the Chief" had been played in the White House under Presidents Jackson and Van Buren, but it did not become the official Presidential honors until First Lady Julia Tyler instructed the Marine Band to play it whenever the President made an official appearance. President Tyler also instituted weekly public concerts on the White House grounds, a tradition that continued on Saturday evenings from spring to fall until the administration of Herbert Hoover. In 1854 President Franklin Pierce approved legislation allowing the band extra pay for playing "on the grounds of the President and the Capitol."

When a nation's people is in great despair or in great happiness, music is always there to satisfy the mood of the people. As time progresses on there will come a time where people will rely on music to deliver great or horrifying news to the ones we love and care about. Here are some examples of good news that we would spread among people.

What formal ceremonies do is bring people under a circumstance where they celebrate an event or honor the passing away. When people pass away we hold funerals for them but do we know why? Of course we do. Its a time to look back on their life and about how they affected the community. When JFK was assassinated on november 22nd at 12:30 pm, the nation was in great despair and his funeral was held immediately. Thousands of citizens attended his funeral im rememberance of JFK. JFK Assassination



Through out life there will be many formal ceremonies, good bad and pointless ones. The idea of music being played at funerals, weddings, bat mitzvah's, inaugurations and many more formal gatherings is to give feelin to the mood of the people and to share one constant emotion within all humans whether it be a sad emotion or a very estatic emotion music gives events feeling. An example of music giving feeling at an event would be where people are in mass, temple, church, synagogue, or at a mosque worshipping god in many cases than others music will be played in honor, respect, liberty, and love. The japanese share a formal dance named the Bagaku and is accompanied by the music Gagku. This ancient art was imported to japan as early as the 7th century, primarily from China and Korea. Refined and preserved in japan since that time, it is the oldest extant orchestral music in the world. Musicians and dancers are spectacularly costumed and performances are traditionally given outside on formal stages in beautiful settings.





A small example of this in a not as formal play can be shown here: Bagku Dance

Two songs that always can bring people together and are just as formal is Wavin Flag: Waving Flag. What this song does is that it unites people and nations together for a time to celebrate a sport that all nations can compete in to show their sportsman ship and skill. Like Bamileke, an african war dance that pumps up the army/military: Bamileke. This song can be played to help motivate warriors in a time of depression when they could be losing the war.

During the times of the holidays we gather together; Friends, Family, Loved ones, and Strangers to all celebrate the times of good health, good wishing, and times spent together. Christmas songs during the holidays always help cheer up the mood Christmas Time music

Weddings are full of love, life and promises. Music plays a special part in the day and the quest for the perfect wedding song is something almost all brides go on. Unfailing love

Song lyrics:

You’re my unfathomable precious unimaginable joy And you’re exceedingly exciting and abundantly more than I could ask for With your hand in mine we will pass through time and space And every second, every minute, every hour of every day I’ll say

CHORUS My unfailing love for you will not be moved For you will not be moved My unfailing love for you And though the mountains be shaken And the hills be removed Yet my unfailing love for you

Besides weddings, inaugurations, holiday music, and deaths of people of great importance, there is also msuic that other cultures and nationalitys go over and play at parties. Muslim Hip hop

 * Music has been used in Jewish religious services since Biblical times. The Mishna, a study of religious life and practice, says that the original Temple in Jerusalem had a choir of a dozen men and an equal number of instrumentalists who performed during services. Today most musical performance in the temple or synagogue comes from the cantor, whose [|job] it is to sing the prayers that are used during services. Some temples or synagogues have choirs that also sing the prayers and sacred songs written specifically for religious performance. The shofar, a horn made from the horn of a ram, is sounded at the High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, in a specific musical pattern.

__**Russia**__ [|russian dance] [|Russian music] __//**Native Americans**//__ Native American ceremonial music is traditionally said to originate from deities or spirits, or from particularly respected individuals. Rituals are shaped by every aspect of song, dance and costuming, and each aspect informs about the "makers, wearers and symbols important to the nation, tribe, village, clan, family, or individual". Native Americans perform stories through song, music and dance, and the historical facts thus propagated are an integral part of Native American beliefs. Epic legends and stories about culture heroes are a part of tribal music traditions, and these tales are often an iconic part of local culture. They can vary slightly from year to year, with leaders recombining and introducing slight variations. The Pueblo compose a number of new songs each year in a committee which uses dreams and visions. The styles and purposes of music vary greatly between and among each Native American tribe. However, a common concept amongst many indigenous groups is a conflation of music and power. For example, the Pima people feel many of their songs were given in the beginning and sung by the Creator. It was believed that some people then have more of an inclination to musical talent than others because of an individual's peculiar power

In the 20th century, influences from the music in the U.S became most dominant in popular music. This led to the explosion of the British Invasion, while subsequent notable movements in British music include the New Wave of British heavy metal and pop.

New Orleans, Louisiana is especially known for its strong association with Jazz music, universally considered to be the birthplace of the genre. The earliest form was dixieland, which has sometimes been called traditional Jazz, 'New Orleans', and 'New Orleans jazz'. However, the tradition of jazz in New Orleans has taken on various forms that have either branched out from original dixieland or taken entirely different paths altogether. New Orleans has also been a prominent center of funk, home to some of the earliest funk bands such as The Meters. The city is also the home of some of the world's most important sludge metal bands and arguably the place where the style was born.
