Trumpet

The section begins with the harp as the solo playing a quasi-cadenza using the same thematic material as before. The strings and piano then respectively play unison glissandos and arpeggios supporting the flute, clarinet, and trumpet playing the bluesy melodic line motive while flutter tonguing. A brief transitional section begins at rehearsal 25 with the horn stating the previous thematic material before leading up to the second piano cadenza at rehearsal

sounds of early Sunday morning car rides with my mother. She’d have on 101.9 as I sat in the back seat and happily hummed along with the freeform jazz sailing peacefully through the air, filling the car with intricate and fleeting sax solos with trumpet accompaniment. These memories make me appreciate jazz, although I still don’t love it. As I was being led into the concert hall, the only thing that really stood out to me was how deep the stage was. The jazz ensemble was seated in the upper most

changed over time? Trumpets, French horns, trombones, and tubas are the four main instruments in the brass family. Each has changed dramatically and will continue to change. Brass instrument come in all varieties. All brass instruments are curved and twisted to allow for easier holding as well as playing. Brass instruments range in size from about six-and-a-half feet to 18 feet, normally. There have beens some brass instruments invented that use nearly 60 feet of tubing. Trumpets are the smallest

Jaeger. The piece begins with the trumpets and snare drum with a mezzo piano dynamic. The trumpet repeats the same legato phrase of what seems to be eighth note, dotted quarter, eighth note, eighth note, eighth note then a whole note. Each time this was played by the brass instrument, it ascended by a half step. I personally liked this rhythm because it felt slower and more relaxed than the previous marches. Shortly after, the clarinets join in and layered the trumpet and snare. These woodwinds added

in the saxophones and clarinets it helps the ensemble build suspense. Once the tenor saxophone comes in with a solo, the performer runs through chromatic scales smoothly. The ensemble continues with the melody leading to a heavy melody held in the trumpets until an alto saxophone comes in and takes the melody away. The rest of the ensemble holds the countermelody that compliments the alto saxophone well. The alto saxophone passes the melody to the piano where then it was passed to a trombone. This

especially with the solo timpani strikes at the beginning. The listener waits in anticipation of the brass section to enter, feeling as though the percussion introduction is much longer than it is in reality. After the percussion introduction, the trumpets state the main theme. After the first statement of the main theme, the French horns join in creating a fuller texture. Throughout the piece, the brass sections continue to layer with each other in different combinations each time. Sometimes one section

Alyssa Hougham sits at a laptop at the island in her kitchen looking up music scores on a website on the internet. Her calculus homework is spread out around her, long forgotten. Light brown hair pulled back into a messy ponytail, strands of hair falling down to frame her face, she hums a song under her breath. This is how she typically spends her her free-time on the weekend, looking up new music or practicing the old pieces she has learned for her school band. Learning and playing music is one

this song for his friend who is the principal trumpet for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and his charity. His charity, Cancer Blows, raises awareness and money for the research of cancer. The piece started out with a slow trumpet solo and the baseline was played by the trombones. There was then a clarinet solo that was very similar. Both solos were played at a medium loudness. After the refrain played by all the instruments there was another trumpet solo and then a oboe solo. Then the whole band

instrument, that instrument was the Trumpet. At first I started out playing the Flute, but I later realized that I was not good at it. When I went to go try out instruments I picked the Fluet and they told me because of my lips and braces it would be hard for me to get the appropriate air flow out, so I decided to play the Trumpet. I picked the Trumpet because my father payed it when he was in high school, and because it only had three valves. My first Trumpet was rusty and old looking and the third

In ‘The Great Enigma: new collected poems’ written by Tomas Tranströmer and translated by Robin Fulton, Tranströmer uses storms in a number of his poems to communicate ideas. In ‘A Winter Night’ (p68) Tranströmer uses two storms in conjunction to communicate the idea of global consciousness. In ‘Downpour over the Interior’ (p88) Tranströmer uses a storm to show how the past and the present are linked, and also demonstrates the idea of global consciousness. To help convey these ideas, Tranströmer
