Double bass

For thousands of years human beings have had to work for their food, not everyone could just drive to the grocery store and pick up a rib-eye or walk into a fast food restaurant and order a double cheeseburger with cheese. They’ve had to physically go out, wait patiently for mother nature to yield and then claim their bounty which required a multitude of patience and skill. However today hunting stirs up a lot of controversy; Is it necessary? Should there be more regulations and less freedoms?…

10 in B- flat major, Gran partita, K.361/370a. This work employed oboes, clarinets, basset horns, bassoons, horns and double bass. The first movement largo-molto allegro began with the clarinets and oboes producing a slow, loud tempo that produced a sad melody. However, with progression the tempo increased as the instruments played in unison. The oboes produced a distinct…

Jazz music has evolved greatly over many years establishing a large variety of different styles within it. I will investigate the deepest roots of jazz and also take a look at some of the theory behind. In the 17th to the 19th century the true and honest roots of jazz music were just beginning. Black slaves were placed in the deep south to work in cotton fields where they would sing African spirituals, chants, work songs and field hollers whilst slaving away all day long in the heat of the sun.…

referred to by fans as vaportrap. The artist keeps the synthesizers and general smooth, digital atmosphere of vaporwave while incorporating trap style drum beats. Throughout the album, Blank Banshee makes repeated use of 808 bass drums, sub-bass lines and kick drums, double or triple time hi-hats. He also uses sound effects from computer programs in his songs, such as Skype’s “hang up” sound effect being used on one track. His musical samples are more obscure, taking parts from songs by The…

Strength in the Midst of Sorrow Trials and heartache have a way of changing people and shaking their faith. When a person has to experience the loss of someone very dear to them, they begin to question God. The biggest question trampling through people’s mind is, “why?” This was not true of someone who made an immense impact on my life and way of thinking. Rebecca Sperry went through the most grievous of trials and her reaction changed my perspective on life. She lost the person she loved most…

The Mass in D major, Opus 86, for chorus, soloists and organ —also known as “Lužany Mass”—was originally composed in 1887 for the consecration of the chapel in the stately home of the prominent architect and philanthropist Josef Hlávka in Lužany. Hlávka had built a chapel at his residence in the southwest Bohemian village of Lužany, and he wanted music by Dvořák for its consecration. Hlávka and Dvořák corresponded personally, and Dvořák was glad to seize upon this opportunity to write to…

CHAPTER ONE Rickety Knees “Two decrepit trolls sipping ice tea on the seashore in their underwear stood and peered at me through the palm fronds,” Gramps told me. I gasped—shocked. Though I shouldn’t have been. I knew growing up, that Grandpa Greene was the most fascinating man breathing. He had crossed oceans with pirates and deserts on dragons, spoke at least four different languages including elfish, tinkered with magic a bit and practiced sword fighting with a gnome. “So what you do?”…

embedded, but clear message on police brutality and the experiences of black people in the United States of America. Though the message of the song is entrenched in heavy themes, the track is upbeat and laced with funky seventies guitar riffs and groovy bass lines. It is so groove-able, that upon first listen one might not even catch some of the themes being laid out. The clear sound of a police siren at 2:49 is what alerted my attention to the song’s broader message. From there I went back to…
