This historic arrangement was one of “the original seven” that formed the repertoire of the original Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. In the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra band folders‚ Big Dipper is to this day #4 in the book. This new edition is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the band’s debut performance in February 1966‚ now housed in the Thad Jones Archive at William Paterson University‚ where Thad served as Founding Director of Jazz Studies. These original seven

People who want to learn to play the violin often ask: Is violin hard to learn? How long will take to learn the violin? Am I too old to start learning violin? Like learning anything new‚ it takes dedication‚ persistence‚ enthusiasm and the desire to want to practice as much as one can in order to succeed. Practicing violin cannot become a chore or something that needs to get done. Just like anything else‚ some people will have an innate ability or gift to play violin and will learn faster than others

Guillaume Dufay’s mass‚ Missa Se La face ay pale is largely based on his previous ballade Se la face ay pale. In fact‚ the cantus firmus is completely based on the tenor line used in his ballade. Dufay maintained the durations that were used in the tenor part in his ballade‚ but he added verbal cue to change the durations when in performance. Because of this‚ all the different parts of the mass had the tenor line moving at different paces. The result of this is a different sounding polyphony in each

The piece is very unpredictable several day ways‚ especially rhythm. This could be down to the fact that there is no time signature given at the start of the piece - meaning that each bar is made up different lengths. This can therefore be hard for the listener to try and predict where the music is going next. Pärt doesn’t use many different note lengths‚ the only ones he uses are: crotchets‚ minims‚ dotted minims‚ semibreves and dotted semibreves - all of which are simple to count as they don’t

thematically and ideates the “music as an emotional bridge where words fail.” (2013‚ p. 27-28) As with Bergman’s other aural elements in Through a Glass Darkly‚ the music is used sparingly (following Bergman’s signature style of reducing his soundscapes) and serves a thematic purpose (following Bergman’s thematic signature of human communication). However‚ Pua’s analysis does not integrate the sarabande’s meaning as part of an entire other body of work — that is‚ Bach’s — into the film’s constructed

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Introduction and background to the study One would assume that a religious composition is a direct reflection of a composer’s personal ecclesiastical devotion. My research discovered that this was not always the case. Discussions of the famous works by Beethoven‚ Liszt and Stravinsky do not usually focus on their religious compositions. However‚ their religious works represent relevant personal experiences of their lives. Their noteworthy religious works also afford Western

Lakeisha Berry Mrs. Lang English 101 26 September 2013 The Real Choir Life What is choir life all about? Well I can tell you that it is more than classical music and tuxedoes! Choir is a great group to join‚ and it is a great way to make friends and have fun. I know all of this because I sang in my church choir and high school choir for years‚ and with that experience I can tell you the truth about choir. However‚ many people have their own ideas about choir that are mostly untrue. They have

Discuss how composers have used distinctively visual elements to convey a particular point of view. Distinctively visual elements have enabled composers to convey particular points of views‚ through the vividly portrayed images on the topic of war. John Misto’s ‘The Shoe Horn Sonata’ captures the past experiences of 2 Japanese prisoners‚ Sheila Richards and Bridie Cartwright during the horror of World War 2. Misto’s use of distinctively visual elements highlights the power of friendship and emotion

One of my favorite pieces of music is Dido’s Lament‚ from Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. The slow‚ sorrowful melody is hauntingly beautiful‚ and though it contains few lyrics‚ the words infer a rich backstory of romantic love and a grieving‚ broken heart. Purcell uses several elements archetypal to Baroque era music styling to convey a dramatic story of emotional extremes‚ from love to heartache; a concept prevalent over all human cultures and generations. Henry Purcell was considered one of

Qanun: 1. What are your overall impressions of the instrument? How difficult does it seem to play? Do you like the sound? Why/Why Not? This instrument reminds me of the Chinese guzheng that I used to dream of playing when I was young. Both instruments are zither-like‚ so I believe that is why I thought of the guzheng initially. The qanun seems somewhat easy to play; however‚ I do not play any instruments‚ so I am sure I will have a hard time with it. The man in the video also said it can be hard
