gives them, more than strong wine, that strength of arm and that endurance of soul which makes them invincible.” What sort of music could playwright Michael MacDonagh possibly be referring to? The bagpipe is probably one of the most controversial instruments in the world. It is either greatly adored (as evidenced by MacDonagh’s aforementioned quote) or it is much abhorred. Take the following quote by renowned film producer Alfred Hitchcock for example: “These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor

to be aware of the signs and symptoms, and their implications for therapy. Pathophysiology Hodgkin’s lymphoma is pathologically associated with Reed-Sternberg cells.3 As explained by Yung and Linch, Reed-Sternberg cells are classified as clonial lymphoid cells that are of B-lineage.11 The transformation of a B-cell to a malignant Reed-Sternberg cell is still under speculation, but it is most likely believed to be associated with infection, inflammation, or reaction to the Episteme

oxygen. The apparatus has six containers that are evenly spaced within the apparatus. On the left side of the apparatus is a metal wind instrument with a single-reed mouthpiece. This instrument is primarily used in jazz music. The instrument is silver and has a flower-like decal on the side. The mouthpiece of the instrument looks rarely used. Underneath the instrument are the supplies used to clean the

Bell developed the harmonic telegraph that allowed messages to be sent over a single wire (“Alexander Graham Bell”). The harmonic telegraph was composed of sequences of metallic reeds, and a protective covering. It made frequencies that allowed people to communicate. He also experimented with the human voice and the vibrating membrane of the human ear. Bell had help from his assistant

number of different instruments that were used such as; idiophones, membranophones, aerophones, and chordophones. This showed that even in one of the world’s earliest civilization, music played an important role in people’s everyday lives. One of the most known instrument from this time is the Lyre (Figure 1). Having this knowledge, allows a chance to look at how music intertwines into the lives of the ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians. The idiophone is one of the simplest instrument of the ones listed

musicians have adapted to using modern instruments and reading off their own sheet music. It is straightforward to make a copy of a part for someone, or simple to order a piece offline. Back in the early 15th century, the Squarcialupi Codex was one of the many books that notated early music, a beautiful and vibrant book filled with music and gorgeous ornamental pictures. The sheer size of the codex made it possible for multiple musicians to read off of one single part. In took many years, several talented

Indigenous traditions, European-derived music, and African-inspired musical activity make up the music of Central America, South America, and Mexico. African influence is evident in African secular and religious practices, in instruments modeled after African instruments, and in the use of musical traits associated with Africa’s ethnic groups. Amazonian tribes can differ in their language, dress, belief system, and kinship practices. The Kayapó-Xikrin are from the rainforests of Brazil. Men and

To best vicariously appreciate Mimmo Paladino’s evocative installation Dormienti (Sleepers), poke around the internet and find composer Brian Eno’s electronic score of the same title. At Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, this trance-inducing music plays on a loop in a large, dark gallery space, creating a moody and surreal soundscape for Paladino’s ambitious installation, in which 32 life-sized abstracted terracotta human forms rest in the fetal position. It’s as if their inert earthen

good and versatile musician in the long term, correct technique is very important.” (LTP Editor, 2014) To improve in performance skill, an understanding of the correct techniques is required. The clarinet is a woodwind instrument that is played with a single reed, it is an instrument with a cylinder body or bore. It was created by Johann Cristopher Denner at around 1690 (Gale Research Inc.1998). This essay will include two examples demonstrating clarinet techniques; example one has successfully used

parallel with the long sides of the case, as does the keyboard, which sits off center to one end or the other. At the opposite end of this rectangle is the soundboard. The soundboard is a box taking up one quarter of the total length of the instrument. It is usually made of softwood with an “f” shaped hole cut in it to amplify the sound coming from the strings, which are situated just above it. The keys sit on a simple rocker mechanism and strike the strings with brass blades called tangents
