highly-articulated, staccato two-bar ostinato. As one would expect from a march, this piece is in duple meter. A pickup by the trumpets leads into the A melody (0:07) . During this section, the trumpets play the melody in monophony while the low brass and timpani continue their ostinato. It then becomes apparent that this song is in a major key. After six bars, where extra brass is added under the trumpets to give the melody harmony (0:18). This two-bar part becomes the climax of this section, as this is where the

ensembles played anything from two to three pieces each giving you a better idea of their style of music rather than what one single piece would have been able to tell you. Throughout all five ensembles there were several solos including: saxophone, trumpet, trombone and a guitar solo. The solos were rather interesting to listen to as a large number of the pieces that were played throughout the concert were originals. The pieces all had their own flow, a person could notice a number of the pieces had

concludes the song powerfully loud. Another way that Grant and Simone’s versions differ is the way the timbre is altered by their accompaniments. Simone has a typical jazz band accompanying her that is very heavy in the brass department with its trumpet, trombone, and tuba. It also is heavy with piano and a little bit of drums that all come together to create a bright and energetic tone that helps one feel empowered just by hearing the song. In one of the song’s more recent covers, American singer

In the current time period, 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

look in the center-to the bottom-you can see two hidden lizards. Although, there is also other hidden parts if you look closely. This piece would be in the genre capriccio which is living piece of music, as you can see the little boy holding the trumpet. Also, the style of this piece is surrealism which is a movement in art. This piece of art was created using a lithograph. It also has lots of movement. For example, when you look at it your eyes follow the staircases, it doesn’t matter if you are

recognizable instruments of the low brass family, but when and where did the trombone originate? It all started in the fifteenth century in Germany, when someone thought that we needed a trumpet with a slide most likely for easier playability. The first trombone was called the Sackbut the sackbut was basically a lower key trumpet with a slide Instead of valves. The bell was roughly 5 inches in diameter and the boring of the bell joint was about the same as a trumpet’s boring. What the Sackbut was used for

the 15th through the 17th centuries. It’s also called the cornett, which is not to be confused with the trumpet-like instrument called the cornet. A hybrid between a woodwind (like the recorder) and a brass instrument (like the trumpet), it was a long and slender tube, curved to one side, and had open finger holes. Sound was produced by blowing into a cup-shaped mouthpiece, like that of the trumpet. The combination of the mouthpiece and finger holes results in difficulties of intonation (pitch) and

well as these two themes, there are also a handful of leitmotifs used throughout Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of the most important being the Ark leitmotif. This motif is created with low rumbling noises from the cello and low brass, mixing with trumpets and higher trilling strings. This creates a majestic and mysterious sound that also sends shivers down your back to insinuate the amazing power that God has put into The Ark of the Covenant. This Ark motif is first introduced when Indiana Jones presents
