main melody then switches to the oboe with the strings playing a baseline part. Those sharp chords soon came up again‚ but this time the chords sound better in term of intonation. The french horns also come in as a harmony to the oboes. The next instrument group to get the main melody is the flutes. Once again the strings provided the baseline. At the beginning of the second movement‚ the harp has a beautiful part that counters the melody beautifully. Soon after the harp‚ the choir came in perfectly

Alto Saxophone Versus Tenor Saxophone Being a part of band for eight years playing the E-flat alto as my main instrument and dabbling with the B-flat tenor saxophone‚ I learned that even with its similar look and playing techniques‚ there is a few key differences that differentiate them. The two saxophones‚ almost identical in looks‚ are both part of the woodwind section of instruments‚ created by Aldophe Sax in the 1800’s‚ and classified as middle tone ranged with identical fingerings. Yet when

Although you cannot replace getting dressed up and going to a concert‚ I liked this webcast because the different camera angles provided footage of everyone playing their instrument and if I had been in a seat I would have been stuck looking at the same few people the whole performance.. For example‚ the conductor would usually have his back to the audience throughout the performance‚ but since I was not a part of the conventional

meter. One thing that grabbed my attention is that the variations do not overlap. The last extra piece featured was Trio where three artists were featured. In this piece the meter stays as compound but the tempo accelerates and becomes allegro. The instruments featured in this piece were oboe and flutes. It was one of the best pieces of the concert. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the concert. The concert was somewhat as I expected to be. The concert was so formal and

intriguing camera angles‚ chilling images‚ and eerie‚ yet pure music to convey these themes. Composers often convey emotion through their music in the form of different instruments. Particular instruments are more suited to portraying certain emotions‚ and audiences can decipher what emotion is being portrayed depending on the instrument used. At the beginning of the opening credits‚ a flute‚ conveying innocence and naivety is used. The mellow‚ calming sound of the flute is later contrasted by a steady

Lerner got the inspiration for the musical Camelot from the idea based on the King Arthur Legend as adapted from the novel The Once and the Future King. Lerner also wrote the music with Frederick Loewe in the 1960’s. The musical faced criticism because some say it wasn’t as good as My Fair Lady‚ and the musical did suffer from structural problems‚ but it still was able to tour around the country. 2.

It moves men to give more of self‚ to march longer when they are exhausted‚ to be more thankful in celebratory times‚ to celebrate more with their friends and family and even to effectively reflect on darker and often depressing times such as funerals and other memorials. It is an instrument of change as well as an instrument of the status quo. The instrument gives speech to otherwise

Stephen Sondheim‚ hailed by many as a genius‚ has had a long and illustrious career in Broadway musical theatre spanning five decades. During those fifty-some years‚ Sondheim has essentially reinvented the Broadway musical. The Sondheim canon shows three distinct ways Sondheim has contributed to musical theatre. First of all‚ the difficulty of Stephen Sondheim’s music has raised the standard of musical theatre. Actors simply cannot stand onstage and sing as they used to in the days of Gershwin and

The first piece I’m going to talk about is Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitacre. This piece is a cantata‚ or a piece that is meant to be sung by a choral SATB choir. Since the choir is not all singing the same pitches‚ this piece would be texturally polyphonic with the sopranos especially near the end singing a different tune than the rest of the voices. The range between the voices goes from the lowest bass note to the highest soprano note near the solo in the beginning. The timbre of the voices is smooth

clarinet ever made was around the 1700’s in Nuremberg‚ Germany by Johann Cristoph Denne. Of course it wasn’t as prestigious as now‚ but it still had a big impact on music. The very first clarinet invented looked similar to a recorder‚ the sound of this instrument sounds close to a trumpet‚ which is in key of C‚ but the only difference is the runs and jumps they are able to do in pieces that would be more difficult for a trumpet player to do. It started with the thumb key in the back with two keys on each
