Throughout music, songs can be illustrated within different perspectives, as the social context was able to be shifted throughout time. Pieces of music were able to be represented within different meanings. This meant that a songs overall meaning is able to portray a different perspective throughout time, as its occasion, location, and style could have been changed. First off in the piece of music, “Baamaaya”, the music can be portrayed to its listeners as an an example of music where its meaning was shifted after time. Baamaaya is considered a traditional dance danced in Shana. This music can be considered to have been changed from its usage. For instance, Baamaaya stands for “the fields are wet”, whereas “dressed up men” would dance until rain would come back, continuously. However, in the present time, the music is used to be played at funerals. This change in usage had also changed in the peoples attitudes, as people were no hearing this music throughout sad times, where before it would have been played within moments of wanting rain and until rain had come, the people in the village would be filled with joy. Furthermore, the aspect of the music that had stayed the same was the fact that in both the past and present, the music had still involved dancing to be included. Moreover, I personally believe that this change was placed in a more negative way. This is because while listening to the music, I would never have approached this song to have a sad undertone since the beats could have been identified as enriched with stableness, whereas during a funeral, most of the people are not stable with the death of a loved one. 

Secondly, another piece of music that had portrayed a change in attitude throughout time was in the “Rite of Spring”. This is because as its story was first portrayed, there was a riot from “jerky movements” the dancers had portrayed. Whereas in present time, the music is considered to be “one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century”. However, the aspect that had stayed the same, were the shifting meter and the loud crescendos being played within the song. Fortunately the dance movements had also stayed the same. Lastly in my opinion, I believe that this change was placed on a positive tone as it made the people to realize a different type of dancing that was used within music. In which this allowed the people to understand in how the composer made his music to be influential.
