Octave

beginning to the Finale, structured in two bars, initially played only by drums, and it is used as introduction for two bars every time one of the themes come in. Some instruments double the key of the piece just by octaves, like the Celesta, playing the melodies two or three octaves above; other using diatonic chords (like Piccolo) Ravel escape from the rigid melodic…

How do airplanes fly? What inventions led to the modern airplanes and jets we have now? We all have these questions in our head but not everyone is curious enough to find out. The dream of flying is as old as mankind itself. However, the concept of the airplane hasn’t been around for that long. Before that time, men and women tried to navigate the air by trying different things I’m stating birds. They built wings to strap onto their arm or machines with flapping wings called ornithopters. On the…

The Clarinet’s development in the Sonata A Sonata is a composition written for one or two instruments that has three or four large movements that are different from each other in rhythm and mood. The Sonata originates from Latin and Italian which means “to sound”. Throughout the Baroque period the Sonata was for one or two instruments almost always with continuo. After the Baroque period most works designated as sonatas specifically are performed by a solo instrument, a piano, or by a solo…

4) Elements can be created naturally through processes such as the big bang or other methods conducted by scientists. Scientists are able to create elements by using atomic colliders and quantum calculation. One process that scientists use to create new elements is to add protons one by one into an atom. This would increase the atomic number of the element which would change the identity of the element. The addition of protons causes a repulsion between the atoms because two positive forces…

accompanying one another to create a heroic feeling in both the band and the audience listening. In the end, the piece aids in conveying emotion without the usage of words with lower octave notes in the whole band in the beginning, silence in the middle section with only the clarinets playing, that too in their lower octave, and a feeling of triumph and heroism as the ensemble comes together as one and all of the instruments accompany each other in layering their sounds to convey various…

Bar 35-36 is a repeat of bar 27-28 an octave higher. The last dotted crotchet of bar 36 is written enharmonically to prepare for the modulation at bar 37. The piece has now moved into E major, the first modulation to occur in the piece. In addition to the modulation, the texture also changes…

for proportion and mathematical precision led the Greeks to develop the first systematic studies of musical sound. Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician, is credited with discovering the mathematical ratios of the fundamental pitch intervals; the octave, fourth, and fifth were considered consonances, or “perfect”, and all others were dissonances, or imperfect. Critical to an understanding of Greek music is the doctrine of ethos. The Greeks believed that certain scales, or as…

Alden” is a frolicking and unstoppable swinging piece that shows how Genovese can sound dashingly percussive, resorting to the use of several octaves to punch us in the face. The gentle beginning of “Don McCoy”, a richly textured tune that salutes McCoy Tyner, interrupts this animation. It precedes the title track, which marks the first intervention of Mr. Scofield whose jubilant tones and vibes…

What is a woodwind instrument? The woodwind instruments are instruments that produce sound as a result of air flowing through them. Instruments that belong to this family include the oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon and flute. While all of the other instruments mentioned are actually classified as reed instruments because that is the way that the air flows through them, the flute is an instrument that makes its sound from air being blown across an opening. The openings are closed or kept open…

Episode 119-Octave-Torment I stood there, motionless. The concrete walled, grey colored room was my only worry at the moment. Behind me stood a door, the only exit for Jeremiah, who unfortunately will not be accessing anytime soon. I looked down at my hands, my weapons, the skin hiding under black rubber gloves. My hands consciously moved all over my body, across my torso, being a bleached white shirt, past my legs, wearing only faded blue jeans and stretching all the way down to my feet, which…
