Clarinet

Softly and slowly, a single clarinet is playing the main theme. The piece then gradually builds in volume, from one clarinet to two, and from the two clarinets to the entire string division. It then abruptly changes to a fast theme, the violinists playing the melody and the cellists plucking the accompaniment. At the end of a short upward scale, the piano comes in hot and heavy. And then I jump and gasp for air. My parents and I are on a road trip to New England, and the first day of driving…

The Romani like to used clarinets for their high pitch sounds, even though they originally were only used if the dulcimer was already present (Piotrowska, Torr 19). Egyptians were the ones to developed the double clarinet, even though the origin of the clarinet is unknown (Sachs 91). Both use the clarinet in their music, even if gypsies have a less informal teaching of the instrument. Clarinets are not the only instruments they shared or were familiar, they…

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.

Have you ever wondered what instruments the Greeks had? Well, here is three questions you may ask. How much is the floyera like the flute today? How were the Karamouzis made? And, What is the Daouli? The floyera is a recorder like instrument. Unlike the flute you blow out of the top like a recorder, but it still has all the keys a flute. Yes this is just a fun fact, but the floyera in Greece is also a pastry. This is because it is shaped as the instrument. The main reason why the flute is the…

Working on the HHS Band leadership team has been one of the most difficult but rewarding jobs of my high school career. My junior year I was selected as the clarinet co-section leader with another one of my good friends Laura. Both of us are very strong and confident leaders, so throughout the marching band season, there was a bit of a power struggle. We didn't know how to properly balance our authority in the group to command equal respect, and we didn't know how to work as a team. Through my…

I recently got to sit down and talk with my two siblings, Oliver Cartagena and Sandy Cartagena. A little while back they both had a conversation on what they were both were going to perform, Oliver had said that he thought it was “weird” for a girl to be in band. This ended up causing some tension between both siblings. Then they realized that many people who are not in band had certain stereotypes with the way band kids are looked at. Personally this puzzled me. I wondered, why would he say…
