Sebastian Yradier The Dove Analysis
Written by Spanish composer Sebastian Yradier in the 1850’s, the song went on to be one of the first universally popular hits. The dove references a legend that a white dove would bring a message from a lost sailor to his beloved, that a final link of love overcomes separation and even death.

The style this piece is a Habanera, a genre of Cuban popular dance music of the 19th century which was brought back to Spain by sailors. This genre is a Spanish-American version of the contradanse, an 18th century English country dance.

In performing this arrangement, keep the bass line rock steady (having some of the basses play pizzicato will help) and be careful of balance between melody and accompaniment. There are staggered dynamics in many places

    Analysis Of Ted Talk By Janine Di Giovanni

    My last piece of evidence comes from a Ted Talk by Janine di Giovanni stated that the things she saw in war even as a reporter were horrifying and she can't imagine what soldiers go through everyday. She say piles of dead children who never got to see the end of their lives dead because of the war generals forcing kids to fight with weapons at such a young age. She said many soldiers sided because they were forced to lose their innocence during war and attack. I can't imagine how many toddlers saw soldiers shooting men and thinking that was ok. Towns were destroyed and homes were demolished and kids and young adults had to experience that and lose their innocence.…

    Tchaikovsky Interpretation

    The famous main melody, introduced after a few counts of quarter notes from the lower instruments, is played and repeated by the upper instruments three times with slight changes each time. During this melody, it can be difficult to play the notes short and precise while maintaining the delicacy. It then completely shifts to a moving section with chromatic eighth notes from the upper instruments that through crescendo and decrescendo with the lower instruments playing an interesting part in between repetitions. Eventually, it switches back to the main melody until the song ends with a rich long tone from the lower…

    Holiday Dance Concert Report

    The violins accented their notes with the snare to emphasize the overall lifted style of this piece. The drum set contrasts with the melodic part the rest of the ensemble play, this gives the music a very bouncy and jubilous feel that would not be present without the constant beat and subdivision provided by the percussionist. There is a short portion in the middle where the violins play pizzicato and the violas have the melody, the violas play with a timid sound where it should be powerful. After this short interlude, the violins and violas return to the melody with the cello and bass playing the counter melody. There are several places where there is a build up a slight pause occurs which serves to emphasizes the lifted feel. At the end there is a fermata that leads into pizzicato playing that gives the piece a sense of…

    1st Semester Concert Report

    The Rhodes College Orchestra began the evening with the Palladio by Karl Jenkins. The Palladio had three different movements. The first movement, the Allegretto, started steadily with the double bass, violoncello, and viola. Then, the tempo became faster and the music more intense, with firm bow strokes from the violin. Throughout most of the movement the rhythm was fast, though there were a few measures where the rhythm slows gradually, but only lasting briefly before it revives again. Towards the end, the mood became lighter and more cheerful, leading the piece to a strong and bold ending. The second movement, the Largo, began quietly. The tempo was slow throughout this movement. The melody was quiet during most of the movement, thus making the vibrato more prominent. The music was loud at the center of the movement, but started to get slower and quieter when approaching the end, letting the ending gently fade out. The third movement, the Vivace, was loud and had a very fast tempo. Towards the midpoint the melody changed and became slow with a melody slightly similar to Largo but faster and more joyful. Then, the melody shifted and became a lot like…

    Mordred And Sir Lancelot Analysis

    Mordred and Sir Aggravayne setting up a trap with twelve other knights to catch Sir Lancelot having an affair with Queen Guinevere. Another similarity between the two stories is that Mordred is the only one alive after he and the knights fight Lancelot. Sir Lancelot is warned of the pitfall set up by the knights, after being warned he became nervous. His nervousness could signify that he was scared of Mordred. Mordred is mentioned, along with Aggravayne and twelve other knights, as a good knight showing that Mordred was virtuous. This version of the legend is unique because it does not mention the discussion about Sir Lancelot between Mordred and Aggravayne to King Arthur and it does not mention the deliverance of the news by Mordred to King…

    Lark Ascending Analysis

    To introduce the piece two cadenzas inspired by the same melody are performed over a continuous subtle harmony. The piece begins with sustained chords between the string instruments and wind instruments. This gives a relaxed effortless tone to the piece and resembles the calmness and tranquillity of a spring day in England. The violin then enters imitating the lark. The violin plays an ascending pattern with elongated arpeggios. The chords underneath drop out so the violin plays a solo introducing the first theme. The orchestra is quietly introduced and develops the almost folk like motif. A folk dance theme is then introduced led by the clarinet and flute and woodwinds as the solo cadenza is repeated. The full orchestra then comes in however it is still fairly restrained to imitate the English countryside. There is antiphonal exchange between the solo violin playing a trill and then the woodwinds imitating the bird like call. This is followed by the solo violin playing a series of cadenzas over the orchestra which could represent the lark flying over the countryside and rolling hills. The shorter cadenza for the soloist is fairly contrasting in comparison to the rest of the piece. There are two separate melodies competing with one another yet also mimicking each other. There is…

One of the many scandals of Canada includes forcing the Chinese to pay head taxes reveal Canada’s racist and unjust past.
