When people listen to Tchaikovsky’s repertoire they would say his music exudes passion, energy, and depth. The first movement of the Piano Concerto No.1 in B-Flat Minor by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky exhibits elements of true orchestral genius utilizing its range to the fullest in combination with the complex and intricate yet powerful fingerings of the solo pianist. What perplexes yet entertains the audience is the contrast from the beginning of the piece where the introduction is lyrical,…
Melody- There's this basic riff repetition being played. As simple as it may be, there is melodic contour which takes shape when the direction changes. This song uses disjunct motion, the intervals change quite a bit. A lot of the singing seems to be staccato, adding to the long pauses. There's also legato that's connecting the song. Harmony- There is no vocal harmony, when he continues the singing, for a breath of time, it adds an echoing effect. The chords are played in a pentatonic format.…
The first part with the original definition of the tempo - Non allegro - begins with a clear rhythm in the pianissimo of the violins, against which there flashes a brief, of only three sounds, the motif of the English horn, repeated by the clarinet, and then descending all the way to the bassoon and bass clarinet. This is a kind of premonition of the basic images that will unfold further. In the meantime, another theme comes into Fortissimo: tough, angular, in the jerky sounds of the orchestra…
displays how Shostakovich uses uncertainty in major-minor mode to evoke folk-like flavor. In the orchestral introduction of song no. 2 mm. 1-18, the music sounds as if in an F# minor key, but the E major chords in mm. 16-18 that proceeds to the A major chord in m. 19 provide a certainty that the music really is in the key of A major (fig. 15), with the submediant chord at the beginning of the song gives the song a minor flavor. Fig. 15: The dominant chord in mm. 16-18 in song no. 2. Alfred J.…
This essay will focus on comparing “Die Lindenbaum”, the fifth Lied from the Song Cycle, Winterreise by Franz Schubert with “Lucy, I Remember Your Name” (2009) by John Cooper of the band Skillet (www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7sjrjiOYYQ). While there are several similarities between the two pieces, there are noticeable differences; such as, the time periods in which the two pieces were composed. “Die Lindenbaum” was written in 1828 during the Romantic period to be performed with a piano…
While my mom watched the news and listened to Garth Brooks, the world of entertainment released new material everyday. The Boy is Mine by Brandy and Monica reigned supreme over “Too Close” by Next (On This Day in History). Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy is Mine” spent 13 weeks as number one on Billboard Hot 100 charts. A close contender for second was “My All” by Mariah Carey (Billboard). As a bloody yet heartwarming film, Saving Private Ryan sold out movie theaters across the nation. Saving…
The Trombone solo last for the better part of 17 measures accompanied by a continual reconstruction of triples weighted over doted rhythms. Scholars describe the work as having qualities evocative of death and renewal. Section B is in relation to a sense of renewal. Its timbre and balance is different from its adjacent section. More specifically, the trombone with its brass qualities is comparable to the bugle calls of war. The imagery delineated through this intuitive use of the trombone…
Had I left the room without saying so much as a word, I would be no better than those who inhabited the room. However, should I haven chosen to be like my uncle, I would be better than them. Yet, in a certain sense I would be less than them. My “goal” was a spring in the north, calming at times but irritating at others. It had been a weeks time since my birthday, my uncle’s gift to me was not some mere object. No it was more profound, insightful, and meaningful, something that impacted me and…
laughed at the girl who threw up next to me. “Such a lightweight,” Arianna laughed. I was accustomed to drinking rum with my family and had become great at holding my alcohol. Being Jamaicana had it’s perks. The drive back to The Waldorf Astoria Resort Boca Raton Resort, from the concert was crazy and I needed to enjoy myself. More J. Cole music played in the background and I knew the party was already in full swing. I was in a great mood and already flirting with half of the guys in my suite…
Only one single key is saved in the nodes ' memory and once enforced in the network, there is no requirement for a node to perform key exchange or key discovery, however, all the nodes in communication coverage area can transfer messages employing the key which they already share. On the other side, this strategy suffers a serious disadvantage that adjustment of a single node would lead compromise of the whole network by the shared key. Hence it fails in offering the basic secure…
