Chord

much more atonal (although completely separately from Schoenberg’s atonality). It is speculated that if Scriabin had lived longer, he would have fully embraced atonality. During this time, Scriabin loosely used what is called the “Mystic Chord” (or the “Prometheus Chord” as it is used in his Symphony by…

lento, or at times moderato. What I thought was unique was that sometimes the left and right hand would have different tempos. A lot of the time the left hand would be playing faster than the right hand. The left hand would repeat the same notes or chords in a measure, and the right hand dances around. There are a few moments when both hands are in sync with each…

The modern dance piece Night Journey (1947) by Martha Graham demonstrates the unique and powerful choreography which established Graham as the “Mother of Modern Dance” (Mapes). Perhaps Graham’s distinctive style can be traced to her unorthodox path into the field of dance. Unlike many of her peers, Graham did not begin her study of dance until her mid 20s (Mapes). Graham’s venture into dance was during an era in which women did not even have the right to vote and the globe was in the grips of…

The piano, another classical instrument, was used to play chord progressions, melodies, harmonies, bass lines, or all of the above. Piano was and is still mostly used for composing any kind of music. So, seeing a jazz pianist play more than chords is not uncommon. The snare drum, the concert bass drum, and the cymbal, were turned into what is now called, a drum set. It was used to keep time and exaggerate…

Race Race is a term used to describe a group or a cluster of people who are of the same color or kind. The term race derived from slavery. Race is defined by populations that differ genetically. In today’s society race is non –existent. Individuals may appear to be of a same race but differ in their hereditary background. In the 1600’s colonists had established servitude that included Europeans and Africans. Shortly after the Bacon Rebellion the status of Africans changed and they had…

Ludwig van Beethoven‘s Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op. 21 is considered to be a landmark in the field of symphonic composition. In this work the composer brings the late Classical period into full bloom while bridging in the essence of Romanticism. This was the composers’ first major composition for orchestra in which he scored: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in C, 2 bassons, 2 horns in C and F, 2 trumpets in C, timpani and strings. The form of the piece is comprised of 4 movements. The first…

out that that musical pieces are extremely hard to play. Rachmaninoff’s is more like two mixers stroking the piano keys rather than fingers, extremely fast tempted. In the other hand, the Scriabin’s style is relatively slower paced long stretched chords than the Rachmaninoff's. Also, my prejudice against particular classical kinds of music changed. Music pieces are so well constructed that I probably never able to look at the equally well-formed Beethoven's…

The way that the group sounded to me was that it felt like the sound was mostly harsh and piercing. At first it did sound smooth but around thirty seconds later the guitar went faster so it made the sound harsh. When all of the instruments are put together it all really sounded harsh with only like one spot where it was mellow. When it got in the middle and the end of the song, I really had to cover my ears because it got so loud to the point my speakers made the piercing sound. Sad part is that…

Bebop or bop is a style of jazz developed in the early to mid-1940s in the United States, which features songs characterized by a fast tempo, complex cord progressions with rapid chord changes and numerous changes of key,…

The cosine was developed as the sine of the complement of the angle, and notation for cosine was also varied. The term sinus residuae was used by Viete while Gunter preferred co-sinus in the year 1620. Cavalieri used Si.2, Oughtred used s co arc and Wallis used S [2]. The tangent and cotangent developed out of the need to calculate the height of an object casting a shadow of a certain length, which was of critical importance for the sundial. Thales is known to have used the method of lengths of…
