The trumpet is constructed of brass tubing bent twice into an oblong shape. The trumpet and trombone share a roughly cylindrical bore which results in a bright‚ loud sound. The bore is actually a complex series of tapers‚ smaller at the mouthpiece receiver and larger just before the flare of the bell begins; careful design of these tapers is critical to the intonation of the instrument. By comparison‚ the cornet and flugelhorn have conical bores and produce a more mellow tone. As with all brass

Anna Dasom Schmitz’s Junior Recital was a very talented display on the piano. Her performance really showed her potential on the piano‚ especially considering it was only a junior recital. The overall nature of the concert was low-key compared to the last concert I attended‚ but it was still very composed and organized. Although the sound of the piano was only focus of the performance‚ it made things feel peaceful and unique‚ something I never felt at the previous concerts I attended. Overall I

The reason I chose Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 (1st movement) is because it really stood out to me out of all the pieces we heard in class and that are on the Moodle Website. I enjoy listening to this piece because it gives off a fun and warm vibe at times sounding playful and fast but then it takes on a warmer and somewhat soothing ambiance at other times. Honestly‚ when I listen to this song I have to turn the volume down because the pitch of the violins is so powerful and high. I believe this is

The next piece‚ Gypsy Dance‚ was written by Joseph Compello‚ and published in 2004. Mr. Compello discovered his love for music at the age of eight while watching the Centennial Celebration Parade in his hometown of Carbondale‚ Pennsylvania. When he saw the way the trumpets in the marching band flashed in the sun and heard how they sounded‚ he immediately fell in love with music. Not long after that parade‚ Joseph’s father‚ who had recently gotten a new job at a factory in Baltimore‚ managed to scrape

Plains Daybreak Reflection The performance of Plains Daybreak was held at the Harrison Theatre in San Marcos‚ Texas. The theatre was inside of the Performing Arts Center at Texas State University. The theatre was smaller than I expected‚ but it gave an intimate setting for the show that was taking place. The intimacy contributed to the atmosphere and made me feel closer to the performances. As a viewer‚ I tend to have an open mind while participating in artistic showcases. I am intrigued by abstract

Unsettling isn’t it? This particular piece is called Illusions‚ part of a four-movement piece by Chao-Jan Chang called “four moods for solo cello.” Each individual solo is meant to reflect on one of the many moods that humans feel‚ and the inspiration comes from the composer’s own feelings. Even though to listen to is you feel a chill down your spine and your hairs stand on end‚ you feel the underlying emotions of what the composer had to be feeling when writing this piece. Chao-Jan Chang created

For my piece‚ I chose “Parody‚” an exceptionally challenging and lengthy four-mallet marimba solo‚ composed by Jesse Monkman. I chose this particular piece because of my extensive experience in both practicing and performing it during my senior year in high school. Due to this being my last year‚ the director of our band encouraged me to choose a more challenging solo than usual for the State Solo and Ensemble Festival‚ and after considerable research‚ I discovered “Parody.” Although this piece demanded
