Musical groups

on (Reichow 2017). Much with any musical culture, the main repertoire remains homestead but each new addition may add one’s own ornamentations or influence and the performance may evolve over time keeping up with the times (Reichow 2017).…

Bells,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and Billie Holiday’s “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” The concert was located at The Walt Disney Theater and featured works from several promising musicians who came up with an assortment of unique musical combinations. This was a great chance to witness an extensive diversity of music, which for the beginner jazz enthusiast, was wonderful. However, it was not only the…

The Melting Pot I choose the “Arabian Waltz” by 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…

Group Reflection Paper My group members for the group speech were Alex Potzner, Caitlyn Haller, and Shelby Welsh. I really had a great group experience, and I think my other group members would agree. When we first got together, it was pretty easy to narrow down our topic choices. We ended up not getting our first choice, but we did get the our second choice of the NAACP. We were very excited to start working on the speech, and we all decided to meet on a Wednesday. At our meeting, everyone…

For the deliberative presentation, my group was assigned to address problem number two. My group went through all of the phases of the Phase Theory of Group Development. On our first day, we went through the orientation phase. Because our class is small we all knew each other but when we got together as a group for this assignment we tried to get to know each other and we discussed the issue of mental health in our university and what each one of us has observed. Overall that day was dedicated…

Intro A group is a “collection of two or more individuals that meet face to face or virtually in an interactive, interdependent way, with the awareness that each belong to a group and for the purpose of achieving mutually agreed upon goals” (Gladding, pg. 83). There are many reasons why groups are formed; they may be formed to complete tasks, address a shortfall in a community or solve problems. All groups, regardless of what their goals are; will go through developmental stages” (Gladding,…

Swedish pop group, ABBA. The title of the musical is one of the group’s songs, and it sung throughout the show. I chose it because I saw it pretty recently with one of my closest friends, and it opened up a world of new love and appreciation for Broadway and Musical Theatre to me, even though I loved it already. It’s hard to talk about the musical without mentioning the history of the hugely successful group, ABBA. “Mamma Mia” was inspired by the music of ABBA, and, the score of the musical…

eye no matter how many times it is rotated. Although the never ending pattern will repeat itself over and over again, it always seems new each time it 's picked up and looked at. The band “Kaleidoscope” also captures many of these same feelings. The group takes several instruments from different parts of the world that most would never consider to be played together and make them blend together in an almost seamless manner. The three performers, Bill…

dance broke the mold of many of the dancing trends in music that preceded it. This important aspect of musical expression transcended the era of funk and to this day dancing is still just as important in the world of music…
