For the first listener’s guide I chose to listen to the piece Hildegard of Bingen: O vis aeternitatis. This piece is very calm and sweet. It had a relaxing and soothing tone to it.

Hildegard’s music rises to the level of sacrament from the divine of grace to the heavenly choirs down to us. Not only she was a composer‚ she was a writer

An orchestral instrument like mine would be the flute because it has two open ends like mine does. The physics behind a flute is that it can either be an open or closed end pipe and it depends on what kind of flute you get. With the harmonics the lower holes are in the flute to shorten the air column to raise the fundamental frequency of the open air column. To make an higher note you can force the air column to sound its second harmonic‚ up an octave from the fundamental.In a flute decreasing

Creative Song Assignment The Creative Song Assignment was an interesting assignment‚ because I have zero experience in mixing music.

The main benefit I see with Aural program notes is they “can demonstrate the most compelling aspects of the work” as stated by Feldman and Contzius (p.336) In the beginning of the piece there is a snare drum introduction. This gives us a since that the work place is very busy. The notes on beats 1 and 4 are the hammers hitting on to the metal. The snare drum helps to add the sense that the workshop is busy because of the fast rhythms you hear underneath the notes on beats 1 and 4. In measure 7 we
