Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is broken up into many sections. This allows someone with no prior experience listening to orchestras to understand the different instrumental sections. The piece begins with broad sections, continues with individual instruments, and ends demonstrating musical vocabulary. Each variation showcases different instruments ranging from the woodwinds to the percussion. The woodwind section consists of flutes, piccolos, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons

were using many elements of jazz in their arrangements*. As a result Davis introduces new musical instruments to his arrangements, such bass clarinet, flutes, bass trombones, tuba, and muted trumpet; also one orchestral instrument, a French horn. Third stream is alike with cool jazz, since Davis uses a French horn and a tuba in both periods of jazz. The first three periods of Davis’ career are very similar because he uses an unaggressive sounds, and deliberate rhythmic

This was my first time to attend the music concert, and I am very enjoyed both of them. The first one I went was in the David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center. And the second one I went was Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Music Center. Compare with each music hall, I like the David Geffen Hall better not just because it’s big and having many seats, it is first buildings completed on the Lincoln Center site and home to one of its first resident organization. The New York Philharmonic is the oldest symphony

virtuoso ensemble. In 1892 I took it upon myself to formed my own band and toured internationally. In all, I composed 136 gratifying military marches. I also wrote operettas. In the 1890s I worked with the great J.W. Pepper to develop a type of bass tuba now known as the sousaphone. Although you do not know this but my birthday is two days after the great Carlos Johnson. I am the third of 10 children, I must tell you we had a lot of fun and the main reason for that was music, I started playing the

wind, brass and percussion sections. Symphonie Fantastique, by Hector Berlioz, was no exception, and was written for an extensive orchestra of 220 players, including, piccolos, flutes, oboes, horns, clarinets, bassoons, cornets, trumpets, trombones, tuba (or ophicleides), timpani, bells, a wide variety of percussion, bells, violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Through this symphony, various instruments have programmatic purposes to develop the scene, such as the pizzicato strings in the 4th movement

heard it played before, but I have never paid attention to it specifically. The fact that it does not have such a high pitch as the violin amazes me, because they look almost the same. I like that it has a wider range of sound and is not deep like a tuba or cello, and that is why I think I could not pin point a viola before. I am glad I know what one is now, because I can only imagine being a viola player, and not be noticed for such a gorgeous sound one can make. The timpani drum was a new instrument

Growing tired of this process my eyes wandered around the room. Eventually they settled on an instrument hidden in the corner. It looked like a tuba, but was much smaller and just seemed so lonely. I went over and picked it up. I asked Ms. M, “ Can I please try this one?” She looked at me and smiled and said, “ Of course, that's the Euphonium. It's like a tuba in the regards that it plays similarly and serves as part of the backbone of the band, it's sound though is much more similar to a trombone.”

Orchestral brasses are the trumpet, French horn, trombone, and the tuba. Concert and marching band brasses are the cornets, baritone horn, euphonium, and sousaphone, which is the marching version of the tuba. The sounds are produced by blowing into a mouthpiece through the vibration of the player’s lips. The pitch of the instruments is changed in two ways, which are the pressure of the

village in Africa with jungles surrounding it. It was defiantly one of my favourite pieces! Another enjoyable piece was the Moderato by Piu Mosso. It was different than the other pieces because it conveyed what I felt like was a horror feeling. The tuba started off the piece and was later accompanied by the trumpets in a minor note but later on changed to major tonality near the middle of the piece. It was very elegant and I enjoyed the major parts more than the minor parts in this piece. The group
