The Band and Orchestra room is to the left in the hallway and is filled with lockers, instructional pieces, and instruments. The first instrument I see when I enter the room is a wooden piano. The conductors chair is an old office chair that worn down so we can see the padding inside of it. Looking around the room I see many lockers ranging from small to large depending what is inside them. Each locker is completed with a metal door that resembles a jail door. The room has three short floor…

the Silk Road Ensemble as my song. This group is composed of “distinguished musicians, composers and performing artists from more than 20 countries around the world to celebrate, explore and experiment with a wide variety of cultural approaches to musical performances” (The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma: Live from Tanglewood). At the beginning of the piece I felt very serene with just a couple of instruments playing. However, when all the instruments joined in. the piece became more exciting.…

the music. The flute plays beautifully in genres like classical, baroque, and romantic. One of the top musician is named Ian Anderson. He was born on the 10th of August, 1947 at Dunfermline, United Kingdom and has one child named Gael Anderson. His musical group is called Jethro Tull which is a rock band. Andante in C major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1778 is a famous orchestral music piece. The flute plays beautifully besides the piano and is the main instrument of the song. The flute sounds…

This text to me is about temptation, wanting something when you know you shouldn't have it. I imagined a person secretly and quietly going into the icebox and eating some delicious plums that were crisp and frosty. To me the emotion of this poem, is satisfying along with saddening. I do not find myself happy when I finish reading this poem, thus, I find that there is mostly an instability of emotions. The concept that the person who ate the delicious plums betrayed the person who owned them.…

In the past, I want to firstly address that I personally have attended some music concerts on Sacramento State’s campus. However, I had never before attended to a symphonic wind ensemble concert. Before the concert began, I had noticed a large amount of chairs on stage as I found this quite interesting. As it was about to begin, a large amount of musicians wearing black appeared on the stage and were performing a small warmup. As performers, they were a guest group. Once the lights were turned…

13 composed by György Kurtág in 1978. Similar to Serashi Fragments, the piece also seemed to have an ebbing musical flow. However, the movements in this piece felt more contained compared to the entrances and silences of sound in the previous one. The twelve movements that make up the composition were short and simplistic culminating in a ten minute performance…

In Copland’s “Piano Variations” the piece is quite simple but darkly colored with 20 variations and a coda, giving a sense of dramatization in continuous variation form, which were originally played on a piano and are now placed into the orchestra which gives it a more lively and colorful perspective on the piece. It opens up in heavy, ominous manner but then more into the piece the chords are struck heavily to give this sensation of engrossment. You’re captivated by everything that is thrown at…

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than playing the clarinet; Evan hearing it gives my pleasure. I have been involved in a performance where you play jazz at heritage landing. At age 12 I realized that I belonged in front of an audience. I started to give demonstrations to younger kids to help out Mrs.Lawrence (My former band teacher and friend). My Friends and I have had fun doing such a thing. It was 7th grade for me and I was offered to play a part in the Muskegon Jazz band. Mrs. Lawrence…

their own favourite, a place, a movie, or even a colour. They like those things for many different reasons, its’ sentimental value or a simple drawing or attractions to it. My favourite thing is a band, Black Veil Brides because of their musical meaning, musical ability, and how much they care about their fans. Black veil Brides tend to put a lot of meaning through their songs. Their songs Saviour, Never Give In, and Carolyn, I believe, are the top three with the most meaning flowing…

already sang before. The pentatonic scale can be shown in the video as being accessible because the audience may or may not have musical skills or training prior to relaying the pentatonic scale back to Bobby McFerrin. The significance of the pentatonic scale is that it is easily recognizable to any person. People are able to reproduce it without having a lot of musical training. As a new vocalist, the pentatonic scale is something that I can replicate with practice. There is not a specific…
