Accompaniment

premier sections of it reminded me of the Indiana Jones theme song. It then became more severe until ultimately releasing the tension and becoming more joyful again. The entire thing was played in double time. The entire piece could have been an accompaniment to a great epic sad story. There was plenty tension and suspense. At one point there was a decrescendo, only to drop to complete silence for a few seconds. As it crescendo, the Timpani played a big role in adding to a climactic effect. As…

Musicians often use their songs as a vehicle to make cultural or political observations. A persistent trope in modern music has been the anti-war song. Often when a song’s message strikes a certain cord, is so powerful that its message is perennial, other artists will issue their own renditions — covers. Eric Bogle’s“The Green Fields of France” is one such song. This is a song that has been covered by everyone from The Clancy Brothers to the Dropkick Murphys, always maintaining its serious and…

is at minim=48 for the introduction and minim=61 for the first theme. However this slow performance enhances his playing by allowing the audience to hear the depth and cultivation of his notes along with the magnificent depth of the orchestra's accompaniment (Bowen, 1996). Rachmaninoff’s…

William Wordworth’s sonnet “[The world is too much with us]” is a staple among Romantic era poems because it embodies the era’s ideals. The ideals of individualism, republicanism, and naturalism define Romantic era poetry, a movement that lasted from the late 18th century until the early 19th century, according to a Salem Press Encyclopedia article about the era. At its core, “[The world is too much with us]” is a written revolt against Puritan work ethic and the industrialization that was…

Long term and lasting friendships will be made through accompaniment of fellow mutants with similarities in daily life’s and powers they have been blessed with. As well as the mentorship of more seasoned mutants, to keep everyone safe during the learning experience. These two alone support the general idea of…

these elements from both these songs, this shows how historical jazz has impacted modern jazz and its musical style. During the late 1800s, Military marches and small bands created a style of jazz known as Ragtime. It is a style of music with accompaniments that have several accented notes combined with melodies that are highly syncopated. Piano is the main instrument used in Ragtime but it is also played by small bands with several combinations of instruments, this style became an early…

from loud to soft quite often, which are both staples in Baroque style music. The piece was written for 2 trumpets, 2 oboes, 2 violins, along with a single timpani and viola. This piece also included the SATB vocal ranges in their choir and solo accompaniments. This piece is popular even today, I knew of it before this class simply from Church services and in other popular events. I wouldn’t typically listen to it on my own because it revolves around the church, is in another language, and is an…

I chose psychotherapy as a career path early on. When my parents separated from a tumultuous marriage the court ordered us to see a psychologist and I was always eager to go to sessions. I grew up in a home where domestic violence was prevalent and spent my childhood with a traumatized single mother, a survivor of both marital rape and domestic violence. I would leave the therapist’s office I felt reassured and absolved of my issues at the time and it was an immense relief. I became very…

``The Battleship Potemkin'' has been so famous for so long that it is almost impossible to come to it with a fresh eye. It is one of the fundamental landmarks of cinema. Its famous massacre on the Odessa Steps has been quoted so many times in other films (notably in ``The Untouchables'') that it's likely many viewers will have seen the parody before they see the original. The film once had such power that it was banned in many nations, including its native Soviet Union. Governments actually…

One of the most incredible video that I watched to complete a Dance Observation assignment for Dance class is the video of: “Wade in the Water from “Revelations” by Alvin Ailey Company. This video was published on YouTube on November 25, 2007 and performed at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This video is very beautiful and impressive at the first time I saw it. Then I keep watching it again to really focus on the detail of very movement and sections. The dancers presented a movement of…
