characteristics for the corresponding regions. Incorporating stylistic features of another culture while composing for a Western audience as described by Locke’s idea of transcultural composing, is realized in this set. Debussy’s incorporation of distinctive scales, rhythmic patterns, harmonies, and colors commonly associated with the exotic also follows Locke’s idea of submerged exoticism. La soirée dans Grenade allows both submerged exoticism and transcultural composing to intersect. Although Debussy tries to imitate authentic Spanish music, the music does not reflect Spanish tradition except for the imitation of the strumming guitar. The Spanish composer Manuel de Falla would also echo this concept by saying, "There is not even one measure of this music borrowed from the Spanish folklore, and yet the entire composition in its most minute details, conveys admirably…

identifies this work as quite unique if compared to other sonatas from the Romantic period. Schumann and Brahms for instance, have another musical approach in their piano sonatas. Moreover, Chopin’s harmony was innovative with unresolved dominant sevenths and surprising cadences, which also can be found in the Piano Sonata Op.35 No.2.

These horns were mostly popular in Europe. The first horns were “monotone” instruments. The most useful range to write horn music in was in the upper harmonics, or “clarino” range, where the natural harmonics are close together. If the hornist needed to switch keys in the music,…

(Andalusian ballet) , but with a slower tempo (moderato assai). Two melodies, the first is in C major and it is diatonic, the second is in C minor and it is more rich of syncopation and flattened notes, like Bb, Eb and Db.

posth. 67, No. 2 begins with a double period (mm. 1-16) that briefly modulates in and out of the relative key of B-flat major. The first two measures use a v-i progression in g minor that is the mimicked with a modulated V-I in B-flat in measure three and four to finish the phrase with an IAC to solidify the beginning of the common double period structure. The motif then repeats itself over the v-i progression in g minor again, but changes from the original statement by staying in g minor and…

melody is composed in a D melodic minor scale, and the lower voice is written in A melodic minor. Mosco Carner states that “Bach in contrast to most modern composers, is here as much concerned with the vertical factor as he is with the horizontal.” In the previous example, the key relationship of an ascending perfect fifth creates a euphonic sound because there is only one conflicting scale degree.…

started to use around the 1890’s to provide a low-pitched bass line that would outline the chord sequences of any song. Before jazz, the bass was mostly known for its use in grand orchestras. The double bass arose in Germany during the late 1650’s. It was mostly used in Orchestras for classical music, creating a low pitched base for the violins and violas while harmonizing with the cellos. As time evolved, around 1890, the African American communities in early New Orleans began jazz ensembles…
