The first piece written by Lowell Liebermann, Sonata for Flute and Harp, Op. 56 was a vibrant piece music dealing mostly with chromaticism at its center. The harp slowly and gradually moves in a crescendo with an almost synonymous sound to a suspense movie. The flute on the other hand, acts as the amplifying instrument that amplifies the tension created by the harp. Similarly, David Kechley’s piece, Available Light: Midwinter Musings for Flute and Harp possesses almost the same characteristics as Liebermann’s piece with an exemption of a calm and soothing reflective 3rd movement, the Lyric Transformation. The 1st and 2nd movement, Frenetic Reflection and Cold Fusion desperately dives into an even more chromaticism while still…

IGOVERNMENT Each village and tribe had a government led by a chief. The chief made decisions on matters such as food storage, celebrations, building, and farm planning. The chief's position was sometimes inherited. Other times, though, he was chosen for his wisdom and experience. He had advisors and council elders to help him. A war chief took care of military matters. All people could give their opinions on major decisions. Florida Seminole reservations today are run by elected tribal councils. The Seminole Tribe of Florida also has a board of directors that is in charge of economic matters. The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma elects a chief and an assistant chief. All decisions about economic matters, social programs, and job opportunities are made by the General Council. This body has two representatives from each of the tribe's 14 groups.…
The Ojibway tribe is one of most well known Native American tribes. It is known as a variation of names, each variation more commonly used depending on the location of the Ojibway 's. Chippewa is a variation of the tribe name most often used is the United States, whereas Ojibway is more common in Canada.

I like the Bagpipe, the recorder and the Pipe Tabor. The recorder and pipe and tab sound so peaceful. The bagpipe sounds like Irish also because i like and fascinate Irish culture. The pipe and tabor sounds like it could be used for American music. It could be mistaken as a flute and drum. The recorder reminds me of birds singing in the trees. And the bagpipe just reminds me of Irish music.…

Sports teams at any level always have mascots. Mascots give fans something to cheer for. However, there is some controversy about some of the mascots. Some team names and mascots are related to Native Americans, such as The Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and the Florida State Seminoles. Some people will argue that these mascots are offensive, and others will say that they are just mascots. Sports teams should use Native American names and mascots because fans support these teams with pride, they don’t reflect poorly on Native Americans, and actual Native American tribes want to be named after sports teams.…
When imaging a mascot, the first image to appear in my head is my high school mascot which is a tiger. In addition, I think of the attributes it represents, such as pride, honor, power, and determination; however, alongside these thoughts come the memories of the ridiculous mascot in the tiger costume messing around at pep rallies and of the stripes painted on the bodies of tailgaters who would go out and “roar” at the football games. Now instead of a tiger, I want you to imagine those scenarios, except with people. Of course you would feel proud of being a “chief,” but alongside the pride would come the person in the stereotypical Indian costume humiliating themselves…
The trombone in itself has been around for over 600 years. Trombones were introduced to the orchestra in the 18th century. Trombones were found in churches during this time because they were known for their vocal support. This tradition of using trombones in a church setting continued well into the mid-19th century. Fanny Mendelsson-Hensel’s Oratorio is an example of the trombone use, used in the early years of the trombone. During the mid-19th century, bell-size became wider as a larger, louder sound was introduced for the performance in bands. This was also used to generate louder volume in the orchestra. By the mid-19th century the role of the trombone in band and classical music was in place. It was not until the end of the 19th century where the trombone found itself in the hands of jazz musicians in New Orleans. There were multiple types of jazz such as New Orleans jazz which was popular during the 1870’s until the 1920’s, Ragtime (1890-1930), The Jazz Era (1920-1930), the Big Band/Swing Era (1930’s-1940’s), the Bebop Era (1940's- 1950's), The Avant Guard Era (late 1950's), Free Jazz (late 1950's), and Fusion (1960's-1970's). However, when jazz was in the beginning stages the trombone was more often used as a single instrument. Early jazz bands consisted of a many instruments, but by the 1930's it became standardized, consisting of four trombones, four saxophones, four trumpets, and the rhythm section which was made up of bass or tuba, drums, piano, guitar and banjo.
