Pan flute

7:30 p.m. The venue was the University of Connecticut Greater Hartford Campus. The program began with Vientos del Sur, which is traditional Bolivian song that translates into South Winds. The sheer energy of that first chord from the acoustic guitar marked the beginning of a night of beautiful cultural music. It opens up with the quick strumming of the acoustic guitar and later follows the bass pipes and pan pipes. The piece sets with a major key in common time. The disjunct melody gives off a jumpy sound that gives an imagery of gusty winds. This imagery is further emphasized by the allegretto tempo which makes the feel much more…

Pan is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds and rustic music, and companion of the nymphs (Pan(god)). He is half human and half goat. He walks on his two hooves and large horns reach to the sky off his head. He has two arms of skin and two legs of fur. Pan is a God that everyone feared. His hideous face and screeching roar scared everyone away, but the sweet sound of his horn kept people curious. Pan was different from other gods. Although he was feared by many,…

trombonist; possibly from the sound needed from the instrument in order for the orchestra to achieve a specific musical sound. As far as any other instruments compared with another, there could possibly be a lower or high demand for the instrument performer. The principle viola in comparison with the next highest paid viola has to do with the level of skill that is maintained by the performer. The "principle" instrument performers are those who simply take the lead like a team leader or…

Music is something we all enjoy and love listening to. It has shaped this country and the world as we know it. It is important we take a step back and examine how music of all types makes us feel. Histoire du Tango is a piece written for flute and guitar by Astor Piazolla (1921-1992). This piece of of music is very wonderful to listen to. The genre is classic tango but has hints of modernism with the way the composer wrote the piece. Piazolla is a big fan of using the guitar to play a rhythm…

When I was a child, I was addicted to orchestral music, and I loved the sound from the flute. I think the flute performs the most wonderful music in the world. Afterward, I started to learn how to play the flute. Producing a sound from the flute can be a little tricky, so you should practice the correct blowing method first before you attempt to play any specific notes, and that’s also why I need more time to practice performing the flute. I spent two hours on practicing the flute a day, and…

the sky. The concert had only 6 musicians and one actor who would recite poems from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in between pieces. Most of the instruments were from the string family: three violinists, one viola, one cello, and one bass. The only other instruments involved were the piano, the harpsichord, and the flute. The first piece was from Arthur Foote titled, “Nocturne for Flute and Strings.” I really liked the piece. Each musician had a different part which, when combined,…

When people think of their mothers some think of memories, traits, or even looks. When I think about my mom I think about her work ethic, her love for family, and her constant support. My mom is one of the hardest working people I know. She never gives up and would always tell my siblings and me to do the same. One memory I have of her is all the many times she would be up late sitting in the dim glow of her laptop working on her masters degree. It took her 2 long years and many late nights…

to us. It 's hard to articulate the crushing feeling of rejection that comes with a botched audition, when the numbers don 't add up as high as they should and the boxes are filled with helpful comments that only show how big a screw-up it was. I would know, because I 've tried - and failed - to get into Allstate three years in a row. Even though I am also a vocalist, I 've always auditioned as on my flute. With good reason, the hardest instrument to get in for is violin, but the flute comes…

system where you use a finger, thumb, or quill. Bowing is using a bow- a tool with hair stretched from the end-to strike the strings. Lastly, striking is merely self-explanatory, where you just strike the string. The most important access of the string section is its vibration which gives off its sound. Furthermore, the woodwinds are very interesting also. Woodwinds are instruments that has holes in it and gives off a different sound when the holes are covered and uncovered. These instruments…
