Gcse Music Performance Analysis

Exultate justi by Lodovico Viadana was an allegro sacred motet with. Its polyphony made it interesting to listen to. It had a pure tone that I found nice.

With means to express oneself, helps one overcome the difficulties of life. This approach represents the entire nature of the hip hop culture, especially when dealing with social justice issues. Today, the hip hop culture association revolves around raps (lyrics) and the rappers which reflect how consumers receive messages about social justice issues. Unlike breaking and graffiti, the music/lyrics penetrate society more. However, for this analysis, the focus will rely on a visual element with a connection to hip hop music. Even though a music video would make sense as a visual means of expression, this analysis has more interest in the cover art that goes with a hip hop album. Also, this focus will lead to the question of how important is art

Beginning solely by a haut instrument, Susato successfully conveyed a bright sonority to the first dance [Susato, Three dances. 0:00-0.06]. Added percussion instrument at the seventh second, the music was given its first touch to be vivid and plump. It was performed by outdoor woodwind bands including tabor, cornetto, sackbut, shawn, and tambourine. Though there are three dances contained in Susato’s work, and dances flowed from one another, it is not hard to distinguish because of their clearly full-stops between each part. Three dances, composed during Renaissance period(1551) by Susato, is a three rondes music in binary form(A-A-B-B). Its repeated melodies were played by permeant improvisers at that time to help enrich the music with colors

The ensemble performing is the Texas State Jazz Ensemble and guest artist Steve Houghton. The performance was at 7:30PM at the performing arts center recital hall on November 1st, 2016.

The last was the Mexican piece “Plena Con Sabor” written by Oscar Hernandez. This piece was different from others in that Beatriz Figueroa-Chavez sang solo and danced. I really liked her voice. During the composition, it was possible to observe how the sound changed because someone from the musicians fell silent and then joined again. The tempo was fast throughout the piece and did not change. The end of composition was played by all instruments and it sounded

The fourth piece was perform by Eric Schultz. It was really nice, it was a vibes and electronics vibes. This song is contained different types of rhythm, tones and it goes from Forte to Vivace and ended up with Presto. This song had a fast beat from low B to high B which performed by the end of the song. However, this song is contained its special technique by the electronics and the vibe from the

The Sound of Music is an old tale that ran its first show in 1959. This play was shown at the Belk Theater at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. It included two acts with a twenty minutes intermission between the two acts. The Sound of Music is a musical that has music by Richard Rodgers. The play follows Maria von Trapp’s life, it starts with her life at an Abbey trying to join the monastic life. The nuns from the Abbey do not feel that she is quite ready for the monastic life because of how much she likes to sing. There are strict rules that each person must follow in the Abbey. The nuns tell Maria that she is going to become a governess for the von Trapp family. The play then goes to show the relationships that Maria forms with the children and the Captain. The Captain is not home very often, but one time he is he brings home, Elsa and Max. Elsa is planned to be the Captain’s new wife, however, that is not what ends up happening. Maria and the Captain get married and the play ends with the family fleeing from the Nazi. This play is based on a memoir of Maria. Although the play is based on Maria’s life there were some events that did not occur in Maria’s life that is in the play. For instance, the family didn’t actually flee Nazi oppression right after the annexation of Austria; rather they relocated to the United States in the 1940s.

This Music Video was made with the theme of the famous British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, after it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The Movie was first initially released in 1997, won 11 Oscars and ranked the fifth position amongst the list of the highest-grossing films in Canada and the United States. Believing that it was all enhanced by that MTV was announced, where technology was taking over which had strong fondness in that course of time and a negative one as time elapsed. It had a positive affection in a way it accomplished to make it easier and now that MTV can use the WIFI after it was invented to stream it's movies and made it faster in other several ways, but as we can see, with time it started affecting all kids before they even grew up or became adults by being overwhelmed with Technology.

Entering the path to high school was a very important event due to how the school was bilingual, teaching both English and Spanish. I personally thought it was going to be challenging due to the double amount of assignments. However, the school introduced a music program, that was mandatory for all students. I thought of it as a way to distract myself from all the academics. That’s when I became a trumpet player. As a high school student, I was able to cultivate skills that would help me become a more reliable person not only with others, but also with myself. While practicing in the wind ensemble, I was able to persevere with the work, have punctuality in all my classes, show independence whenever it was necessary, and share my knowledge among

13. During this piece I could imagine people dancing at an elaborate gathering in their large ball gowns, and all of the finest. This piece began slowly, yet cheerful then the tempo began to speed up. There was in intermezzo performed by Amy Schroeder which was moderately fast with movement. By the end of the piece there was a rapid tempo. This piece was beautiful, and at times seemed as though the music was jumping, again almost playful. The faces of the quartet was astonishing in itself. At times the musicians appeared in pain, and at others seemed to be in heaven. There were times during the concert where the musicians appeared as though they were about to jump from their seats. You could definitely see their passion, and it was exquisite. The dynamics of this piece were so that at one point I jumped. I was in shock and a little embarrassed that the music actually scared me.

Rhythm and Blues (R & B) has always been my priority choice of music to listen to. “R. Kelly is talented and he is also inarguable the biggest male R & B singer since Marvin Gaye”. (Marchese) He is a musical genius who wrote “Forever” a very powerful and unforgettable wedding song that will be played during many marriage ceremonies for years to come. Forever is a nuptial song that sounds great for a bride walking out to meet her husband at the altar. R Kelly Lyrics reminds me of what my husband said the day he asked me to marry him “I will be your man you will be my lady, we'll walk hand and hand side by side, I will be the perfect groom you're the perfect bride”. (R. Kelly: Forever) This song “Forever” symbolizes our married on New Years’

The third movement is the Minuet & Trio: Allegretto. This movement is the typical dance-like theme, with its playful melodies and flowing chords.

Stage One Music expanded the knowledge and understanding of music theory to a further extent. As part of the subject, the opportunities and obstacles of the music industry was investigated, while each individual continued to experiment with discovering their own ‘music style’. Throughout the year, students progressed their abilities of their chosen instruments by performing a music arrangement as a soloist and as part of an ensemble. A highlight of the subject was participating in the Performing Arts Showcase since students were able to present the skills which they have worked on for the duration of the

Violins on the left, woodwinds in the center, a brass section on the right next to the strings and percussion in the back all start out in a single conversation with the brass taking the opening lead of the piece. And fancy free it was as this work immediately started out as the fast tempo “galop” movement. The second movement had the traditional waltz with the third and final movement the “Danzon”. During the Danzon movement, I noticed the strings plucking and tapping their bows on their instruments. I had never heard this piece before and found it very consonant, with a nice level of fluidity and extremely pleasing to listen to.
