Musical instruments

The performers playing their instruments were outstanding. I was so amused by how well they played the music and made it sound like you were listening to it on a CD. Taken I have played my share of instruments, I could tell how much time and effort they put into their work everyday to make it better and fix all the little errors. The first piece they played was beautiful, “Concerto in d minor.” Michele Fiala who played the oboe and Christopher Fisher who was playing the piano, worked perfectly…

ACME Rock Shop: The hastiest yet most instinctive business decision of my life. It was late 1979, and at the age of nine, I had already developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Rock & Roll. When I wasn’t busy playing hockey like a normal Canadian kid or taking Hammond Organ lessons (unlike any other normal Canadian kid), all of my free time was spent flipping through stacks of my parents’ classic rock albums, reading Circus Magazine, Creem, Hit Parade, and occasionally braving the…

One of my favorite instruments is the cello. The cello is known as the bass instrument of the violin family. In respects to solo work, the cello is very important in the works of an orchestra. Today, the cello is adored and played by many. One of the most acclaimed cellist is a Yo Yo Ma. He is a songwriter of Chinese decent known for playing the grand classics. Yo Yo Ma is not only an artist of music, but diversifies one’s understanding of what music was like in the past. One example is how he…

I’m going to discuss how the different instruments are used to make different tones. How these different tones can create different images and how these images can create different emotions and tensions. My feeling for attending this orchestra performance was very eventful. There was many instruments playing and the music was beautiful. I will recommend people to this performance. In the performances King Stephen Op.117 by Beethoven, there are many instruments…

As a child, and even now, my mom is in charge of the music. She would mainly play music she grew up with as a teen or music her brother introduced her to which varies from the 50s to the 90s. When I was thirteen years old my parents were going through a divorce, and my mom was driving and a song came on the radio. This song was “No Rain” by Blind Melon, and usually, when I heard it, it was just a calming, catchy song. But when I heard this song on this occasion, I heard it with a different…

It began with the exchange of the woodwind instruments to the brass instruments playing the same rhyme. Then it advanced as the melody piled together with moods of various eagerness until it reached the ending of pure elation. This could be attributed to the sudden dynamic changes, as there were many occurrences of subitos. It was obvious with the entrances of the percussion and the brass instruments. In addition, the ending put me on the edge of the seat with the tempo…

No. 3 in E Major, by Johann Sebastian Bach called “Loure.” This piece is from the baroque period and like many pieces from that time, it was extremely emotionally involved. This composition was exceptionally sorrowful. Ha-Eun Song preformed this musical…

Theme Introduction The music approaches within a succession of graceful pitches and harmonious chords. As the music plays in all different tempos, rhythms, and pitches, it reminds you of your happiest moments, despite the hardships you have went through recently. You feel that you are swept up and carried with the progression of music, and you are taken away on a journey of excitement, anxiety, happiness, sadness, anger, relief, and bliss. After, the music fades away, and you are left feeling…

Anthony Seeger illustrates the musical and cultural traditions of the Suya Indians in his paper, “What Can We Learn When They Sing? Vocal Genres of the Suya Indians of Central Brazil.” Music is a very important aspect of Suya culture, but musicians and anthropologists have found it difficult to document why their music is so important. One of the reasons that makes it so difficult is that in some cases, the Suya Indians’ performance of one song can last up to fifteen hours. Also, their…
