was Paul Da Silva playing piano and Manon Robertshaw on cello, and lastly Sung Ae Lee doing a solo performance. This was performed at Cerritos College in the music building at BC-51. It began at eleven in the morning on February twenty sixth. First musical performance was the piece of Muzio Clementi’s sonata in B flat major for two pianos. It was experience to see a performance with two pianists performing together. This piece alternates between the two doing their own specific solo and had…

were significantly discounted and right at my disposal, of course I took the opportunity to go. When the show was announced, I was very excited as I had heard a lot of buzz about the musical. First of all, it stars Josh Groban in his debut on Broadway, which obviously would direct a lot of attention towards the musical. Additionally, I have heard from multiple people that the Female lead, Deneé Benton, is very much in the running this year for receiving a Tony award. Further, before I got the…

When watching the video of John Cage's 4 "33", I was first confused on what William Marx was doing. I watched the video several times, to gain my focus on what he was doing. Finally, I understood why he was just sitting there and not playing the piano. Truthfully others probably have thought the same thing that I did when I watched the composition. William Marx sat down and opened the top cover of piano and set a timer, he never struck a key on the keyboard through three different movements.…

Being involved with the music department isn’t just for music majors or minors. There are many opportunities for the campus community to take part in the benefits of music through lessons, ensembles and performances. For those that enjoy music but do not sing or play an instrument themselves, Luke Carlson, assistant professor of music, said there are a variety of concerts and performances every semester they can attend. “Some of the audience members we get are family members,” Carlson said,…

Throughout the last century, music has transformed drastically in numerous ways. For example, in the 1950’s, songs were almost entirely acoustic and incredibly organic. Artists in the industry did not have access to the technology available today, which made them rely on their talents alone. Today, individuals are able to autotune their vocals and they have tools such as metronomes, drum machines, etc. that can enhance their songs. At the same time, their are several similarities in the style of…

No.1 Lonesome Town There are only three elements in this music: vocal, acoustic guitar, and the chorus. Because of there are only three elements, the stereo image builds on how wide and narrow the sound is instead of placing to the right or left location. However, I feel that the acoustic guitar is a little off to the left, and I hope that is not the problem of my hearing. The chorus is the widest sound that spread all over the left to right, and the distance of the sound is the farthest.…

grew up with her father until he passed away. Ruth began writing poetry at an early age and as a teenager had aspirations to become an "authoress or poetess". In 1914, Ruth went to Foster's School of Musical Art to study musical art by learning the piano. After she attended the Foster’s School of Musical Art, she began attending the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago to further her education by focusing on the piano, but that is not what happened. Instead of staying for only a year like…

To preface this story, I need to explain instruments. I found myself playing mellophone in marching band. The mellophone resembled a bigger trumpet and used by French horn players. Flugelhorns also look like trumpets, but they share the same musical key as the trumpet. They sound most like a trumpet but speak much more mellow and sweet. The mellophone section started as and an awkward piece added to the completed puzzle of the trumpet section. Our official section leader, Brass Captain and…

A study by Charles A. Elliot shows that gender indeed plays a role in the judgement of musical performances, relating instruments to perceived masculine/feminine associations (Elliot 53). While the study is somewhat different because it shows performances of instrumentalists, the same way of thinking can be applied. When an audience member…

remains under the functional chord progression. Assisting to a Baroque Orchestra event, it’s a nice experience, which allows you to get closer to what is music, I have to address with greater motivation to understand and enjoy different forms of musical expression. The work presented containing different elements, which managed to produce a…
