Clarinet

like trumpet and clarinet, were taken from the orchestra and used for jazz too. And around this time, in 1846, Adolphe Sax, invented the Saxophone, the most commonly played instrument for…

The 20th century was a major turning point in the history of classical music. Tonal harmony of the Romance era have been replaced with the dissonant sounding atonality of many composers of the 20th century. The 20th century of classical music was led by Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, and Claude Debussy. These composers have created techniques that were unlike any other in the history of classical music. Arnold Schoenberg is known for a technique called the Twelve Tone Technique. This…

this piece. Without the all the amazing, talented and beautiful instruments we would have never gotten Beethoven’s music. With the third movement called scherzo, I did not enjoy as much as the others because it was very slow and sad however, the clarinets did do a very good job in the piece. When I close my eyes during this piece I see white baby swans swimming very gracefully and then slowly but deliberately a huge black hole begins to form in the water and the swans are trying to get away from…

Growing up, my life revolved around music. My mother, a waitress and my father a bassist. I pretty much grew up in restaurants and bars, listening to my dad play songs Keith Richards wrote 30 years ago. Living in a house with more vinyls than square feet, I learned to love every genre of music. My parents went to every live concert they could go to; Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, you name it my parents were in the crowd. When I was ten my mom told me about this great guitar…

including me. Everyone would talk about how the eighth graders were “small” and how the hallways were going to be even more crowded. At Euclid high school, I participated in marching and concert band during the school of 2015-2016. I enjoyed playing the clarinet…

accounting from the College of Business. I choose this major because I attended a school career fair in high school and talked to a financial advisor and she described what she does for a living. I was very active as a kid and even now. I played the clarinet, violin, soccer, basketball, tennis, flag football, danced, and ran track. My favorite sport is flag football; I played for four years and received CO-MVP and best defense player. Growing up as a child, my family and I attended church every…

What a treat; I really enjoyed the event. I was skeptical about going because I did not read the book or have any background knowledge about the author, but in hindsight that did not matter. I was able to listen to relaxing jazz music, sing along with a great singer, and reminisce about my musical days. The incorporation of the black experience throughout the event was a fresh breath of air. I am an Africana Studies minor, so anything about the black experience has my attention! I appreciated…

strange or odd at first listen. It is written in a chromatic key, with no clear major or minor tonality. After the homophonic beginning of unison rhythms, Xerxes transitions into a monophonic woodwind feature that weaves its way through the flutes, clarinets, and saxophones. After this another monophonic flute solo takes precedence with a…

how 99.99% of people get by in their permanent illiteracy. I have absolute pitch. Each one of the twelve notes is an old friend, the sound of the school bell, or the microwave timer, or the climax-maker in my recital piece, or the first note in the clarinet solo in Rhapsody in Blue. Sometimes, if I listen carefully enough and…
