Keyboard

Next, the melody is a combination of singing and shouting. Commonly, there are numerous repeated notes at the start of the line with a downward formula at the end of the line when the words are sung. The timbre is prominent in the electric keyboard. The keyboard plays the ostinato through most of the song. However, the drum, lead and bass guitars, and the male vocalist also contributes to the timbre. Continuing, “Jump” is a syllabic piece of music, meaning there is roughly one note per…

In an article written by Alan Kingstone, Chris Friesen, and Michael Gazzaniga they are discussing a study about gaze reflection and reflexive joint attention. They used two similar people to conduct multiple experiments to test out their hypothesis. In the article, Reflexive Joint Attention Depends on Lateralized Cortical Connections, their hypothesis was that the reflexive attention in response to gaze direction correlates with the hemisphere specialized for processing faces. The people used…

prelude or a sonata movement. Three times the treble makes a conspicuous climb to d: the first two times it is part of a dissonant chord and only the third time is consonant, when the two hands move in contrary motion to the outer limits of Bach’s keyboard compass at the close. The sarabande is of the trio type with numerous appoggiaturas,…

“I HATE it!” I shouted as I slammed the door violently. Baton raised. Freedom gone. The stick of ebony wood has more control than I do. I hated it. “Fast, forceful, driving, that’s how I want it. Now, let’s go. One, two, three, four!” the conductor instructed. I pressed my wiry fingers deep and hard against the ivory keys, feeling every hammer fiercely thumping against all three strings of every note; feeling my rage perfectly reflected on the hammers vigorously and promptly attacking the…

Keith Oxman Quartet did a remarkable concert that night.

On last Friday evening, the concert began at 7 pm and ended at almost 9 pm. Unfortunately, Nocturne didn’t offer a playlist that…

improvise other than the sections in the middle. The opening vamp featured the electric bass as the driving force improvising on two main elements of walking bass lines and this riff idea that would emerge in the head, and underneath this the electric keyboard played a sparse chordal accompaniment along with the drummer playing a light rock-shuffle groove. The main sections of improvisation featured guitar, flute, and bass, but I liked the guitar’s solo because it was the clearer and more…

doing various tasks. The first thing I observed was the hygienist probing the patient’s mouth to determine the millimeters of each pocket around each tooth. I typed the depth of the pockets into the computer for her. There was a barrier over the keyboard that was removed because I did not have any gloves on. None of the depths exceeded 3 millimeters. After all pocket depths were recorded, she used an explorer to find calculus then cleaned it. She took 4 horizontal bitewing x-rays of the patient.…

went to the local latin school. He also participated in the St.Georg choir and sung as a soprano. One of Bach's more recognizable musical inabilities as a child was that he was unable to play a keyboard instrument. After Bach's parents died in 1996 Bach moved to Ohdruf where he later learned the keyboard. Bach was mostly self-taught on how to compose by copying and studying his older brother's manuscripts. Around 1700 Bach moved north to Lünenburg. In Lünberg Bach had the opportunity to become a…

Since I got to choose what I wanted to write about for this report I decided to choose one of my favorite genres, country. It’s a style of music that was first developed in the southern and western states, which used to be known as folk type of music, but since then has transformed into pop/country. I would like to elaborate more on the old country musical instruments. Instruments generally used in the more traditional genre of country music were the banjo, fiddle, harmonica, string bass, and…

From 1740 to 1760, Haydn worked hard and he came to know the leading Viennese musical figures along the way. (Geiringer, 1982) In those times, it was necessary to have sponsorship of nobility for support. In 1761, Hungarian Prince Paul Anton Esterházy, contracted Haydn and asked him to be assistant kapellmeister, or composer for the Prince. The contract included an exclusivity clause that required the Prince’s permission for any outside compositions. When Prince Paul died in 1762, his brother…
