The Duet Papagen Opera Magic Flute
The Duet Papagena/Papageno is a duet from Act 1 in the Opera Magic Flute that was written by W.A. Mozart in 1791. It starts in a 2/4 time sang allegretto. It starts with an ostinato ‘pa pa pa’ by the two voices while the orchestra blends in harmony. Staccato is used to give it a joyful, jumpy and light feel to the music. The instruments that have been employed have bright timbres and include violins and oboe; there is also prominent use of the panpipe which makes the piece quite expressive. The voices have a call and response technique while occasionally singing together in harmony. The piece is set on G major, which is a bright key to sing on. The melody of the song is folk-like; the rhythm is bouncy, carefree and dance-like. Listening to

    Midwinter Musings For Flute Analysis

    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…

    Summary: Gramophone Concert

    The concert that I chose to attend was the Gramophone award winners, Pavel Haas Quartet. Veronika Jaruskova, Marek Zxiebel, Pavel Nikl, and Peter Jarusek were the musicians. They were all very talented. Their movements were amazing and no matter the difficulty, they stayed in time with one another. The songs they chose to perform were Quartet No. 1 in B minor, Op. 50 by the composer Prokofiev, Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Op. 95 “Serioso” by Beethoven, and Quartet No. 5, Sz. 102 by Bartok. All these pieces were amazing both in difficulty and sound.…

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: The Most Popular Classical Composer

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 –1791) was one of the most popular Classical Composers of the 18th century. He was born in Salzburg, Austria under the influence of a musical family. A genious from a young age Mozart excelled in his compositions. Alleluiah was written in 1713 at the age of 17. The piece is part of the famous Exsultate Jubilate motet. At the time, Mozart did not have in mind the voice of a soprano for the beautiful melody but rather the one of a castrato, a specific one, Venanzio Rauzzini; a famous Italian castrato of the time with a very agile and crystal clear voice. “Allelujah” is the culminating piece of a three movement vocal concerto that was originally scored for soprano solo, oboes, horns, organ and strings; it is preceded…

    Maestro 'And The Painting Starry Night'

    Distinctively visual images which can be seen, or perceived in the mind can shape the responder understanding of relationship with others plus the world around . The use of distinctively visual features has had a positive effect on my understanding of the novel Maestro by Peter Goldsworthy’s and the painting ‘starry starry night’ by Vincent van Gogh. This has been done through distinctively visual features such as descriptive and emotive language in Maestro and the use of colour, shading, lighting and placement in ‘starry starry night’.In saying this, this gives evidence as I do strongly agree with the statement ‘‘The visual image has a significant impact on the way the responder is positioned to react to a text’. This will be seen through…

    My Papa's Waltz By Theodore Roethke

    My Papa's Waltz By Theodore Roethke

    "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke is a four quatrain poem written in iambic trimeter. The rhyme scheme present is abab, cdcd, efef, and ghgh. In the poem, the son is remembering a time when his father, who was excessively drunk at the time, carrying him through the kitchen off to bed. It was a rough, almost abusive, journey though because his father, who is already drunkenly waltzing him, is probably not used to handling things with care at work since his hands are described as "caked hard by dirt" and "battered on one knuckle". The speaker in the poem, the son, is clearly holding onto this memory of his father for whatever reason: maybe he died early, was working all the time, or abandoned the family.…

    The Role Of Overture In The Baroque Era

    The idea of an overture started in the 17th century or the Baroque era. An overture is defined as an instrumental introduction and usually played before a larger work such as an opera, play, ballet, etc to set the mood for what is coming up in the rest of the performance. Concert overtures started to appear in the early 19th century or the Romantic era. These overtures were inspired by a play or story, but they did not necessarily lead up to a larger work. Instead, they were independent, individual concert pieces that did not allude to stage performance. They usually had a literary theme though.…

    My Papa's Waltz By Theodore Roethke

    In Theodore Roethke’s poem, My Papa’s Waltz, there seems to be a bit of controversy about what actions are taking place within it. From the title, it appears that the father and child were dancing, seeing as a waltz is a type of dance. But this is no dance. While waltzing, one person leads while the other follows. The father is the leader in this situation, showing dominance over his child. This “waltz” is simply something that the father does often. The narrator is the child. The vague and patchy description of the actions taking place would indicate that this is but a memory the narrator is trying to recall about his childhood. The poem, when read over quickly and lazily, may appear to be about this dance,…

    Antonio Vivaldi Romantic Concerto

    During the baroque era, there were many prominent new artists, one of the most famous was a Venetian composer by the name of Antonio Vivaldi. He was very important during the baroque ear due to his mastery of the Italian concerto and his involvement in operas. Vivaldi remains relevant in modern times as the concerto is still a hugely popular genre for composers. A concerto refers to an instrumental work written specifically for a soloist or multiple soloists and a large ensemble. Vivaldi was born in Venice in 1678. His father was barber and played the violin in the orchestra of the Cathedral of San Marco. All his life, Vivaldi had health problems. He suffered from a chronic disease, probably heart failure, or a form of asthma (Talbot). His musical talent came…

    Fall Choral Concert Essay

    This is an amazing energetic piece by the presented of these instruments: piano, cowbell, timpani, maracas, voices (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass). The tempo throughout the piece are rallentando and fast tempos. The piece sounded strong, powerful, harmonizing in between the instrument, but also chilling at the sacred movement where it got slow and a bit softer. Overall, the dynamics where mezzo forte, forte, tenuto, crescendo, and sforzando. The word that have been repeated the most throughout the piece was “silliza” with a loud (forte) by the voices singing. I have enjoyed this piece and love it because it sounds really energetic, strong, happy, fun, and exciting. In my opinion, this is an good ending song where all the choirs get to sing together before the concert…

    Music During The Baroque Period

    Music has developed a lot over the years. Classical music has evolved in a more gradual manner with a number of smaller revolutionary steps along the way. In the 9th to 14th centuries the development of music was documented in a physical form. This was where music could now be communicated efficiently, and succeeding generations would know something about the music of their ancestors. There where demands of the church that required a musical notation, and so the earliest written music was largely in Church music called Hymns. The plainsong of this time was still singlehanded, but that’s when the new developments were starting to appear.…
