Fugue

Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the great composers of his time. His Cello Suite #1 was one of his well-known works and very much recognizable still today. I have heard this specific piece several times throughout my life but have never really taken the time to interpret its meaning. I immediately enjoyed listening to it and felt intrigued to further my study of this piece after my initial review of it. After reviewing the piece several times, I realized not only is it the simplicity of one…

Charlie’s state of mind plummeted quickly. When Charlie first started lose control over his mind he said, “Why can’t I remember? I’ve got to fight. I lie in bed for days and I don’t know who or where I am. Then it all comes back to me in a flash. Fugues of amnesia. Symptoms of senility---- second childhood. I can watch them coming on. It’s so cruelly logic. I learned so much and so fast. Now my mind is deteriorating rapidly” (Keyes 219-220). In another situation, Sam in “Hallucination” took a…

David Garrett. The free movement between solo and group in jazz is sometimes compared to baroque music, and snippets of Bach and Vivaldi frequently appear in the solos of heavy metal guitarists. Modern Baroque music example is that of The Lady Gaga Fugue and other incredible Baroque-inspired arrangements of pop songs. “Lady Gaga used an eight-second snippet of music from the Well-Tempered Clavier in her 2009 hit, Bad Romance; now she's being owned by this Bach-inspired stretto-fest”…

strings. All of the instruments for the most part are playing the same melodic line just at different intensities. The ears are focused on one voice at a time and are not jumping around so it is homophonic. This piece also relates closely from the fugue from the baroque period. It relates because each new set of instruments that enters in this section presents the theme and plays something similar to the preceding line. The music has a celebratory quality when the strings are playing their…

according to a certain young man named Titus; he was born with the feed and is completely ignorant to the fact that he is being controlled. In feed, the authority is the feed or the government according to Titus when he stated that his feed was going fugue. When Titus and his friends landed on the moon they were distracted because of all the banners that were popping up on the feed. “We flew up in our feeds where burbling all sorts of things about where to stay and what to eat.” (Page 1). This…

Katherine Siochi, Harp and Piano On Sunday, January 22, 2017, at 3pm Katherine Siochi played several compositions by a variety of composers on her harp and the piano. The performance took place at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Watertown, New York. The artist, who wore a formal dress in turquoise, brought her own harp from New York City for this recital and the harp stood precisely in front of the altar of the church. Thirty minutes before the concert started, I arrived. Although, I have seen…

quartet consists of six movements that lasts about 50 minutes total. The quartet is made up of a big first movement, four shorter inner movements, and the concluding movement. The movements are adagio, presto, andante, allegro, cavatina, and grande fugue. The first movement begins slow and it actually reappears later on in the piece. Most all of the pieces began solemnly and then recovery to a lighter tone. One of the most famous movements in all of Beethoven’s quartets is Cavatina because it is…

performer because he was hide behind the organ, I could feel that I was putting a lot of energy in this piece to make it dramtic. Just by the way he would hit the peddles it resound in the Hall. The musical composition I liked the least was Prélude et fugue en mi mineur composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. The style period of this composer was the Baroque period. I disliked this composition since I did not feel that the flow of music was very good. The music was unstable since the pattern of the…

“Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence” -Colin Powell. I will never forget when I was awarded one of the two “Most Outstanding Musician” awards when I was a 7th grader at Neil Armstrong Middle School. It was the second week of school when we first met the string orchestra teacher; no one gave her a schedule. Her curly ginger hair, piercings, and her tattoos made her look kind of “intimidating”, but she was a very fun and…

When I signed up to take music appreciation, I knew it would be the perfect class for me. I myself take up being a musician as a hobby, I’ve played the guitar for years and have a basic understanding of music in the world. I knew that music had deep history within its roots, but I always had a curiosity to learn a slice of that history which is exactly what this class did. Besides playing an instrument and make music, I also became very fond of listening to music as a hobby. I began to have a…
