Tithe Music Concert

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our seats. The seating seemed rather helpful because from a distance you could hear every instrument when you focused on it. It was beautiful. The band presented well with their “Penguin” like attire that was kind to the eyes. They appeared very organized,

The clarinet is a woodwind instrament consisting of a cylindrical wood, metal, or ebonite pipe with a bell-shaped opening at one end and a mouthpiece at the other end, to which a thin reed is attached. The clarinet has five different sections, the mouthpiece, the barrel, the upper section, the lower section, and the bell. The length of the entire instrument is 60 cm long. The mouthpiece section consists of a slotted cylinder, to which a reed is attached by a metal clamp called a ligature. The mouthpiece plugs into the next section which is a barrel. The barrel is simply a connecting cylinder to which the mouthpiece and the upper section plugs into. The upper section is a cylindrical pipe consisting of 4 holes and 9 keys placed in

The University of Redlands Wind Ensemble, directed by Eddie R. Smith, put on a show at the Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, November 16th. Walking into the monumental Chapel I was unsure of what to expect. As I walked in I saw the amazing artwork around, the high ceilings, and a wide variety of instruments scattered on different levels of the stage. On the first level there were many small hand held instruments such as flutes and clarinets, on the second there were a wide variety of brass instruments, and finally in the last row were the percussion instruments. Knowing that it was a wind ensemble and not a traditional orchestra like the ones we have been made familiar with during this course, I was unsure of what to expect. I thought that

The concert I attended was called the Faculty and Student Recital, which took place in the Cisco Auditorium on April 11, 2017. The music that was on the program was mostly what is called “classical” music, as well as a Chinese Folk Song, an electronic composition, and variations on an Indian Tala. In the classical pieces, the instruments that were used were the violin, the piano, the cello, and the oboe. In the electronic composition, the computer was used to make music. In the Chinese Folk Song, the piccolo was used to imitate the unique timbre of a Chinese flute. In the Indian tala, drums from Ghana were used to imitate the rhythm and sound of Indian drums. The piano, the violin, the cello, and the piccolo all originate

Assignment #1 The influence of Africans in Dominican Republic music Dominican Republic is mainly known for Merengue and Bachata music, but there are other music forms that were played on the island of Hispaniola long before the music that most relate to that country. The slaves brought that music that is heard on the entire island and it was transmitted for over 500 years. However, most Dominicans do not recognize this music as their own because they consider it as more Haitian because of its African origins. Many have tried to disassociate themselves from their African-Slave background. Nowadays, it seems that more Dominicans are starting to pay attention to these forms of music.

A violin is a wooden, four string instrument that is a part of the violin family. In its family, the violin is the most high-pitched and the smallest. Also, violins are usually played with a bow made from horsehair. A typical violin bow measures near 75 centimeters and usually weighs 60 grams. This instrument is tuned by turning the four pegs near the top. Many various notes and sounds can be played by pressing down on a certain part of a string while sliding the bow. A

The ukulele is a member of the lute family of instruments; meaning that the strings run in a plane parallel to the sound table. Most people believe that the ukulele originated in Hawaii however, they actually had their first start in Portugal in 139 B. C in the Lusitania tribe. By the thirteenth century, four-string instruments were being used in Spain, when six-string instruments were introduced in the 1700s the popularity of chordophones exploded. (A chordophone is a musical instrument that makes sound by way of a vibrating string or strings stretched between two points.) Although we all picture ukuleles as a Hawaiian instrument, it wasn't until 1879 that the first ukulele was brought over from Portugal. One of the Portuguese

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.

The woodwind section consists of flutes, piccolos, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons. Woodwinds were traditionally made of wood, hence their name. These instruments can only produce one note at a time. Some woodwinds use a reed. The clarinet, saxophone, and bass clarinet are single-reed woodwinds. The oboe, English horn, bassoon,

Although the tuba has been around for more 150 years, it 's prominence as a solo instrument did not appear until 100 years after. The tuba shares the role as lowest instrument in the orchestra with string bass. The tuba 's thick, round sound serves as the foundation for the ensemble in both timbre and intonation. Typically never popping out of texture in melodically, the tuba offers the orchestra with a bass voice that defines the harmonic sequence of the music played through the root and inversions.

The cello is a much bigger string instrument, so large that it has an end pin at the bottom to help keep it standing. Since the cello is much larger it is harder to travel to different notes on the neck. In the short musical performance, you can see his moving up and down quickly trying to reach the notes in time for the
