Bass clarinet

The Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra performed excellently in their performing arts theater, on their Pleasant Hill campus. The performance occurred Saturday, December 2nd at 8 o'clock P.M. I chose to attend this particular performance because I was intrigued to see how wind instruments and string instruments correlate as a group. The event had great structured acoustics and was engaging to listen to. The Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra played pieces from several different

Lauren Love 15 April 2013 Professor Dewey Music 1306 Concert Critique #1 I have never been personally a fan of the romantic orchestra music but going to listen to a concert live is breathtaking. I attended the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra, Masterpieces concert with music director Fouad Fakhouri performing Igor Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No.1 in D major. There was a full stage of musicians and a complete choir to back it up. The first half of the performance

The clarinet is a single-reed woodwind instrument with a cylindrical tube. The clarinet is a very interesting instrument that plays good music. It is typically used in band ensembles. It is made out of either plastic or wood. The reed is a part of the clarinet that it can't be played without. The clarinet was originated a long time ago and it has an interesting manufacturing process. The clarinet originated around 2700 B.C. in Egypt. The Egyptians created this instrument called the zummara (sometimes

I attended Auburn University’s AU Chamber Ensembles at The Goodwin Recital Hall on Monday, November 14, 2016, that began at 7:30 p.m. The concert featured performances from Auburn Bassoon Ensemble, Auburn Guitar Ensemble, Auburn Wind Quintet, Auburn String Trio, Nova Saxophone Quartet, and Auburn Horn Ensemble. The ensemble lasted approximately 60 minutes and offered a very gratifying listening experience. The audience dressed very casual but the AU Chamber Ensemble performers wore all black. The

Every brass instruments have mouthpieces, however there are different types and sizes of these which give different sounds. The mouthpiece is there to help your upper and lower lips vibrate when air passes between them. The different sizes of mouthpieces have their advantages and disadvantages, beginner students should use the mouthpiece that comes with the trumpet until their development changes. There are different mouthpiece rims and they all have different sounds to them. A wide rim gives an

Looking at both instruments side by side, there are minute differences in their construction. However, the cornet did not start out looking like a shorter trumpet. In fact, in the 1800’s, the cornet looked something like a curly “q” made out of miscellaneous metal. Noted for its warmer, softer, and rounder sound, the cornet has evolved since the early 19th century. Evolution of the Cornet The late 18th century involved a lot of modifications to earlier models of horns. Beginning with the

In both pieces of music, The Firebird Suite, by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) and C-Jam Blues, by Duke Ellington, there are traces of dynamics and timbre, also known as tone color, throughout. Dynamics is defined as “degrees of loudness or softness in music,” and timbre is defined as “quality of sound that distinguishes one instrument or voice from another.” Both pieces have repeated melodies, but The Firebird Suite shows the use of more crescendos and decrescendo, while C-Jam Blues uses improvisation

The analysis of the aria “Lascia ch'io pianga” by Haendel according to the thorough bass method, shows us how the composer refer in this piece to the typical compositional procedures of baroque music. The aria starts with a pedal (frame, according to Joel Lester's terminology) followed by a cadence harmonized according the regle de l'octave both in ascending and descending motion (MM. 5-8). The second episode starting at M. 8 consists of a sequence, precisely a modified sequence, in which the

played in jazz, concert, solo, and symphony playing(The Art of Trombone Playing, Page 2). The trombone plays on the bass clef. It is completely different notes than most woodwind instrument. Trombone has a tone a level lower than instruments that are played on treble clef. The tenor trombone is played on bass clef and others are also. The trombones have different tones, for example the bass trombone has a lower pitch than the tenor trombone. Together these instruments sound in harmony and

CHAPTER 1 ERHARD BODENSCHATZ AND THE FLORILEGIUM POTENSE Lutheran church music in its first two and a half centuries can be characterized by the incorporation of a staggering variety of styles and musical genres. Plainchant, imitative polyphony, and chorale hymnody existed alongside one another, and composers such as Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) and Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630) were among the first to synthesize elements of Monteverdi’s seconda pratica with a fully German practice.
