Music loop

With a mace in my hand and a whistle in my mouth, I felt that I would be able to rule the world. However, a load of long suffering came with that feeling. In the eighth grade, I was began preparations to join the marching band my freshman year of high school. During the course of my first year in band, I began to study the drum major very closely. I could picture myself on the field conducting and dancing in front of the band. For three years I studied the role. By the time I was a junior in…

toward music was recognized early on by his father, who was his first piano teacher. His father exposed the young Liszt to music by taking him to concerts. It was around the age of six he started piano lessons with his father. At age nine, Liszt made his first public appearance as a performer, playing a concerto by Ries. Several noblemen of the region took notice to Liszt and offered to pay for musical studies in Vienna. Liszt soon began studying the piano under Carl Czerny and music…

Throughout the Adagio movement of Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, we are presented with several different juxtaposing textures, each offering a new perspective with its experience. The dialectic forces of this movement could also be found within layers of Image A. The antiphony at the onset and again in later references can be heard as soft (in a texture sense), open, and even vague in its harmonic and rhythmic structure. The instructed una corda gives an airy and empty quality to the…

class in the midst of the long school day would provide the student with a low stress and accepting environment to be crazy and not think about school for fifty minutes.

over to Rosie's trailer as he is "... terrified. Terrified of losing her" and blurts out that he loves her. Another time he was confronted with conflict in his teenage years was when he joins the Rock and Roll band even though he thought it was "Music to shit by". After Rough Stuff won the Battle of Sounds Paul feels "strangely empty, deflated". During his last day in Darwin Paul faces a significant conflict. Staying and listening to Keller's tale vs going off and spending time with his…

When you hear the word band when related to music, what do you think of? Is it a small group of friends playing in a garage, or a huge group of people putting on a concert at school? Merriam Webster defines a band as “a group of persons, animals, or things; especially: a group of musicians organized for ensemble playing.” To finish out the semester I went to one last concert, the SIUE Wind Symphony and Concert Band. The opening piece of the night Where Never Lark or Eagle Flew by James Curnow.…

Since my ending of my last production I was eager to start our new musical. One evening after school musical practice finally started. Exhausted after class, I grudgingly sat down around the piano while I waited to the music to start and practice to begin. At 3 o’clock we began to learn our required songs for our audition.

That’s what makes composing music so diverse. Anyone can do it! Even the singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran says, “Music is a powerful tool in…

Music has always been a part of my life. The extensive record collection between my father and grandfather. The music teacher grandmother. The composer cousin who lived in L.A., New Orleans, and Nashville who married an operatic vocalist and toured the country with his jazz group who now directs a middle school band. Then, there is the other cousin who was in high school acapella choir and a guitarist and a bassist and a drummer and a bagpipe player. I went to church children’s choir practice…
