Measuring instrument

The performance I attended was at the Bienen School of Music, Northwestern University. This concert was a preview of BCE’s performance this upcoming Thursday at the American Choral Directors Association Central Division Conference. The works of Ratniece and Hearne will be performed at the conference. The program we started with was Horo Horo Hata Hata by Santa Ratniece, followed by a few other pieces. This was my first time at the Ryan Center for the Musical Arts, it was a very interesting…

to imagine. Her strange assortment of instruments was foreign to me, she had an antique toy piano, bells and even an accordion. Adam Joseph, writer for Monterey County Now, reported that inspiration struck when Rickman, tired of lugging around a keyboard almost as big as herself, realized she could play on her tiny antique piano, and she started using it at shows. This opened a door, and she now chooses to incorporate all sorts of different unique instruments (Joseph). When she performed “Pretty…

The Firefly Music Festival is a wonderful music experience with the beautiful landscape of Dover, Delaware. The festival features successful headliners and emerging artists from Outkast to Twenty-One Pilots. With all the wonderful performers that are attending the festival I can almost guarantee that you will have a great time. In 2012 Red Frog Events decided that they wanted to boost and reinvent the concert going experience. One of the things that makes this festival great is the setting.…

“Observe Music 1.9” 1. What is making the sound? a. Is there more than one instrument playing? Yes and no. There are brief times when only one is playing and each has a point when it is featured, or at least highlighted by the gentleness of the others while one crescendos. b. What instrument(s) are playing? Piano, flute, Oboe, trumpet, bass, cello, French horn, timpani, violin, trombone, bassoon, clarinet, and piccolo. Having watched I now actually recognize the sound of an Oboe and have…

addition, FNMA is a holder in due course, which specifies that the individual received a negotiable instrument in good faith without knowing that there was an overdue or defect. In order for the lender to be a holder in due course (HDC), the note has to be a negotiable (Professor Murray, lecture, November 14, 2016). In this case, Campbell’s note and mortgage were considered to be negotiable instruments. The mortgagor could verify their protection under the HDC if fraud was claimed. FNMA is a…

On April 14th, I attended a concert performed by Flux Pavilion in Washington, DC. Flux Pavilion is a soloist that plays as a DJ at many concerts. Most often his music would be considered Electronica or Dubstep. Some of the songs that he included in his performance were I Can’t Stop, Pull the Trigger, and Cut Me Out. The people that attended the concert were very in tune with the music getting excited like the DJ jumping up and down and shouting. By the DJ getting excited about the music it made…

Enjoy your listening experience on a level you never thought could be possible with the JBL 2500 Main / Stereo Speakers. These highly praised bookshelf speakers have a 0.5-inch titanium dome tweeter to deliver quality high-frequency sounds of treble. Thanks to the 5.25-inch polymer laminate driver, low frequencies of bass transmitted through the woofer are just as satisfying, and the culmination of the two is a powerful audio experience. Hear a range of sounds in precise clarity with a…

The streaks of bright light outlined all of the grinning faces of the Vernon Hills High School Symphony Orchestra. The immense collaboration of endless hours of rehearing Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 for the Midwest audition piece to burning through Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini at Midwest. I can say that orchestra is part of who I am. Without orchestra, I would not have been able to encounter some of the amazing musicians that I have come to known. The fine arts is more than just a hobby or an…

player. All of the instruments were replicas of instruments played during the time period in Venice. The violin’s strings were made out of guts and the humidity of the room caused them to frequently be out of tune, so before every song they need to be tuned with the harpsicord. The concert was filled with songs mostly by Monteverdi, and a few songs that were common in the time period. 6 songs were performed in total which were all relatively short. All but one song had only instruments being…

The song begins with a low and dreary beat and guitar strumming. The slow, somewhat sad tune casts an image, in my mind, of a man strolling from a bar after having a bad day, perhaps after being laid off by his boss. It has a slow, but steady pace that is supported by the guitar and low drum beats. At around the 3 minute mark , the beat speeds up slightly, as if to suggest tribulations or a slight sign of hope and light amongst the gray tone that has been present for the majority of the song…
