	Epic (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epic was a breakthrough hit single by the alternative metal band Faith No More.
		The video for Epic was subject to controversy because of the perceived treatment of the fish, which appears to be dying--it was in fact slow motion footage; the fish was returned to its tank alive.(The band has stated that said fish in fact belonged to Bjork and was stolen at one of her parties.)
		It is said that Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers watched this video, and was so insulted by what he believed to be plagiarism at his expense (Due to The extream similarity between their styles), that he started an intense rivalry between himself and Mike Patton.

	Performance and Performer: The Role of Tradition in Oral Epic Song
		Epics, ballads, prose tales, ritual and lyric songs, as genres, existed orally before writing was invented.

		Epics are sung also at weddings and to help celebrate the Slava, the family feast for its patron saint.

		Medieval Narative: The Medieval Epic: The Song of Roland, The Poem of Cid, The Shah-nama
		These "songs of great deeds"--as they were referred to in their respective languages--not only reflected the organizational structure and basic preoccupations of the societies in which they were composed, but also fulfilled a need of both Frenchmen and Spaniards, who eagerly sought information about their past and their national heroes.
		While epic poetry may be somewhat didactic, the poems were written primarily as an entertainment, and were meant to be chanted by traveling singers, known as jongleurs in France and juglares in Spain, to the accompaniment of some string-like instrument.

	Understanding American Pie - Interpretation of Don Mclean's epic song to the passing of an era.
		But this was no ordinary song, either: boldly original and thematically ambitious, what set American Pie apart had a lot to do with the way we weren't entirely sure what the song was about, provoking endless debates over its epic cast of characters.
		But however open to interpretation the lyrics may have been, the song's emotional resonance was unmistakable: McLean was clearly relating a defining moment in the American experience—something had been lost, and we knew it.
		It is across this decade that the American cultural landscape changed radically, passing from the relative optimism and conformity of the 1950s and early 1960s to the rejection of these values by the various political and social movements of the mid and late 1960s.

	Comparative Arts: A CyberEd Course: Part 4: Medieval Music: P.2
		A chanson de geste is a "song of deeds," an action story in poetic form sung by a minstrel to the accompaniment of a viol or lyre, an epic poem in Old French the medieval vernacular language of France, rather than in Latin.
		Taillefer, in the age-old tradition of minstrelsy, was a mime and singing actor, and his rendition of the epic was undoubtedly accompanied by skillful vocal declamation as well as with appropriate gestures and action.
		The Song of Roland is thus a direct-action story, set in the time of Charlemagne and relating incidents from the campaign in northern Spain where that Emperor had been battling the pagan Saracens for seven long years.

		An epic song collection project focused on the Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands) ethnic groups has finished its first stage, clocking in nearly 5,000 hours of song, but with such a vast amount of material, transcription and translation remain an unequivocal hurdle.
		Especially notable in the collection were three sets of chained epics (or genealogical epics), which the project team was the first to find, of the Ot Drong of the M’nong people, the Dong of the Ba Na people and the Dam Diong of the Xe Dang people.
		As the epic treasures are harboured by an older generation, relating to the subjects has been thorny for researchers.

		Epic is an unusual genre, because it only exists in certain cultures and does not last for a particularly long time.
		As a result, epics tend are the a source of great pride, e.g., Beowulf in England, The Song of Roland in France, The Niebelungenlied in Germany, the Sagas in Norway and Iceland, the Iliad and Odyssey in Greece.
		As a result, an epic is never exactly the same, since the minstrel varies it depending on what has happened in the village since he last visited.

		Originally titled “Jerusalem,” this bombastic song (an album in itself, clocking in at more than 63 minutes) was a gift from doom rock gods Sleep to their fans and basically ended the group’s recording career.

		After about 8 "depressing" minutes the song turns into a progressive piece of art, which ends again when the song is clocked at about 15 minutes, followed by another 2 minutes of excellent doom.
		Epic vocals, strong riffing, atmospheric keyboards and a very tight rhythm section; every element of While Heaven Wept is in perfect harmony.
		From epic guitars solos to pounding riffs, from massive epic compositions to fragile atmospheric interludes, from majestic clean vocals to even sporadically using a death grunt on the title track, While Heaven Wept combines all that is good about Doom.

	Meshuggah: I - PopMatters Music Review
		In the entire genre of heavy metal, the epic song is something that has always been tried by many, but perfected by few.
		As the 1980s rolled around, songs became considerably sleeker, as bands like Rush and Judas Priest opted for simpler arrangements, and it wasn't until 1984, that Iron Maiden dared to take the epic song to the next level with their 13 minute opus "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
		The band is absolutely relentless throughout the song, highlighted by Thorendal's solos, which are always more jazz-oriented than the usual metal shredding, and Haake's characteristic syncopation, the hi-hat and ride cymbal keeping simple, 4/4 time, but the snare and double bass drum possessing minds of their own, with their mind-boggling polyrhythms and rotating time signatures.

		Most bard songs, like Song of Celerity, are Haste v2 (spell haste), and thus their haste component only applies if it is greater than the haste % of any other V2 effects on the player.
		This epic has been somewhat upgraded by Songblade of the Eternal, although the songblade does not act as all instruments, only modifies singing, and you'd have to be in a very high end and elemental capable guild to enter the Plane of Time for this weapon.
		Third, epic is 20 percent, which is the same as troubs mace, gem inlade weapon for all instraments.

		Meaning literally “to narrate in song” in the Maranao language, the Darangen existed before the arrival of Islam in the Philippines in the fourteenth century.
		Being part of a wider epic culture that is connected to early Sanskrit practices and extends through most of Mindanao, it offers insight into pre-Islamic cultural traditions of the Maranao people.

		Launching a Satellite — When China launched its first satellite in 1970, once more it was the song The East is Red that rang out through the heavens; here you can see documentary footage of the launching of the satellite, precursor to the October 2003 manned space-flight of Yang Liwei.

		For a song that is predicated on its repetitions, it’s remarkably powerful, and manages to save a few surprises for well down the line.
		The singer-narrator (these songs are really like short stories), tells of how his brother leaves town, and experiences life – while the narrator sits and stagnates in a dead-end town, surrounded with people who can barely stand each other.
		However, interestingly, this is the only epic song he recorded, usually his problem was not knowing what songs to drop from the final track-listing.

		This one really surprised me. Musically, this is very similar to Nightwish (especially their brillant 'Oceanborn'), but these guys have the epic strength of Rhapsody.
		Track 3 "Torn dress" is another strong epic song with an excellent guitar solo.
		This change in speed continues throughout the song and the contrast in vocals does too.

		"Epic Song," by Pablo Neruda, is a frequently strident volume of political poetry.
		And I think that after reading the poems praising Castro's revolution, it would be wise to read the works of an anti-Castro Cuban dissident like Reinaldo Arenas (who was persecuted under the Castro regime).
		Still, "Epic Song" contains passages of real emotion and beauty, and is worth reading.
