Bass

piece somehow evoked a feeling of sadness in me as the pace slowed and the tone quality became darker. The time signature and tempo felt completely different from the previous set. The bassoon would occasionally lead the movement with its strong deep bass, bringing a harsh effect. The flute and clarinet would vary the tempo with dramatic effect. From what I heard, they differed by the third harmonic frequency. I noticed how the mood shifts in the scores were crisp and almost instantaneous. The…

their children even after the publication was proven to be false (Bass 23). “Anti-vaccine movements are motivated variously by political, cultural, and/or personal factors.” (Powell e57). With the anti-vaccine movement in full swing we are seeing “dead” diseases making a comeback, a few of theses diseases are Pertussis, Measles and Mumps. “More cases of pertussis were reported in 2010 (27,550) and 2012 (48,277) than since the 1950s.”(Bass 23). Nearly half of children who were diagnosed with…

On Friday, July 10th, the local instrumental jazz group Yuma Jazz Company played at Lutes Casino for a couple of hours. The instrumentation was fairly standard for a jazz group, with trumpet, saxophone, guitar, double bass, and drums (I believe those were electric). The guitar and bass, along with the drums, served as a sort of basso continuo, generally backing the horns, but occasionally taking up the melody for themselves, resulting in a texture that was thinly polyphonic. Also noticeable was…

the solo violin midi voice. And for the Basso, I chose the “Cello” voice. Even though the cello voice is warmer that the violin and viola voices, it still is does not sound like a live cello. I thought about doubling the cello part with the double bass, but I decided that it, in its current state, the recording was…

culture. The “Turkish style” is best seen in the Pasha’s chorus. In this scene, we are treated to the full array of janissary instruments. In addition to the typical orchestra instruments, the score for this song contains parts for a bass…

on their tour around the nation. The Philadelphian based band is no stranger to this local scene as they’ve played former hotspot for open band jams, Shady Katie’s. Matt Pillion (vocals, various instruments), Kevin Cunningham (guitar), Dan Haase (bass) and Eric Skye (drums) rolled out the night with the first track from the name album “Keeps Me Alive”. What a better way to introduce the album. With a soft start, absent of drum, Pillion’s voice drew the attention of everyone inside and out on…

differences between Debussy’s La Mer, Stravinsky’s Right of Spring, and Schoenberg’s Erwartung. Claude Debussy’s La Mer is an orchestral composition that was part of a collection of impressionistic pieces. It starts out with light plucking of the harp with bass accompaniment. The texture builds as the other strings and wildwoods join the harmony. Out of the three pieces, the melody in La Mer…

not modify. In the coming decades, the original recitative had been revised. Monteverdi was an important figure in adopting the recitative style in the Baroque period. To do so, he incorporated short, lyric melodies amidst his recitatives. Also, the bass line imitated melodic motives that appear first in the vocal line (Ulrich 69) An example of Monteverdi’s new style of recitative comes from an excerpt from Act II of his L’Orfeo (1607). Monteverdi used his previous experience as a madrigal…

time. In this style, the trumpet carried the melody, the clarinet played the showy countermelodies, and the trombone played the rhythmic slides and sounded the root notes of chords or simple harmony. Below this basic trio, the tuba or string bass provided a bass line and drums the rhythmic accompaniment. New Orleans jazz was just the beginning of an entire sweep across the county; which led to…

is also almost nothing, Guatemala hope to find ways to promote tourism and to promote the local economy. Pan Am is recommended in the lake angler favorite fish farming can achieve this purpose. Thus, non-native species of black bass was introduced in 1958, the lake. Bass soon received their new home, and began to devour the lake locally creatures. Due to its characteristics of meat, perch wiped out two-thirds of the original native fish species, and caused only live in the lake region of rare…
