Background music

increasing gradually. This is him steadily becoming addicted. It then explodes with volume. This is his addiction screaming at him, commanding him to come take more. He ends up taking more witch again gradually pulls him in deeper. This time the background horns during the theme give of the downward spiral of his addiction. The horns starting the second theme give off a sense of hope. The change from menacing to happy with the eerie undertone of knocking, gives the illusion that things may…

surrounded by music growing up because of his father and because of him I also did. My dad is constantly playing shows at markets or restaurants with his accordion. My grandmother has a beautiful voice and growing up I was always surrounded by it. My grandfather whom I mention a lot about later on was the most musical man in my life. He started a family…

born on September 13th, 1874, would become one of the most important influences on classical contemporary music. Born to a non musical family, Schoenberg was a primarily self-taught cellist and joined an amateur orchestra under the direction of Alexander Zemlinsky. He would later be instructed in composition by Zemlinsky, and in counterpoint by Oskar Adler. Schoenberg became prolific in music theory and composition while working his job as a bank clerk, and later quit this job to become a full…

time and resources volunteering for citizens in need. Furthermore, I believe citizens should contribute to the care of impoverished communities. Through my volunteer work during a holiday party, I interacted with many families from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The event was locally held at Harford’s Billings Forge-a low income community housing complex. A young mother and father were grateful for serving food to them and providing a place for their children to embrace a youthful, vibrant, and…

To begin, Bach was a devout Lutherian, who played music for the church (Sherrane). Toccata and Fugue, a two-part musical piece composed for the organ (generally speaking, the instrument most associated with the church), is assumed to have been created with spiritual intent (Schwarm). Bach 's duties for the church included making religious music, which combined with his faith, and musical passion make it likely this piece was crafted for sacred purposes…

I was taught music at such a young age that I don’t even remember learning it, just like one doesn’t remember learning to walk. My mom was a pianist and my dad played the trumpet and guitar. The thought of not being able to play music is crazy to me. When I play my instruments, I love being able to make a unique story with sounds. When I’m feeling down, I’ll just pick up my violin and start practicing. I also enjoy being able to play competitively and collaboratively. It’s really easy to meet…

in crescendo and had a consonant harmony. Because of the fast tempo and tone, it made me recall when I was young how I always felt excited about going on a trip. During this concert, I liked Ives’s “Washington’s Birthday” the least. This piece of music began with a dissonant harmony and soft dynamics. It made me feel depressed when I first heard it. As this composition went on, the dynamics suddenly became loud, and it scared me. There was a moment when the tempo was fast, and I liked this…

Rothman that was held in the Whitman Theatre of the Conservatory of Music of Brooklyn College. There were four pieces of music during this concert.

the first few notes of the Chopin prelude I’ve been working on for an entire year now. Feeling the music progress exactly as I’ve practiced it for months now, I finish and bow. I hear the applause in the background, but all I am thinking about is how happy I feel. Piano has been my favorite instrument as I’ve grown up, but it certainly isn’t my the only instrument I have come to love playing. Music has been a part of my life ever since before I was born. My mom and dad did a great job of…

Unlike the Language we learn in school, music is a special type of language that can be use as a type of communication tool. Jazz is origin from African American and its main characteristics are swing and syncopation, improvisation, distinctive voices bent notes and modes. I’ve watched an amazing concert for the Jazz term paper. The title of the Live Jazz Concert is “Brian Culbertson feat Michael Lington” As the Piano and the Trombone player, Brian Culbertson is one of the main performer that…
