Single-reed instrument

music; Handel: Messiah, Hallejuah Chorus; Bob Dylan, Like The Rolling Stone; Glass: koyaanisqatsi section and John Luther Adams: The Light that fills the world The Dhrupad music is chanting Vedic hymns and mantras. In the background there is string instrument playing in lower sound than the chanting completing it. It can be used as prayer, meditation and yoga. The Georgian Chant is liturgical music chanted in the church as a form of prayer. Two things we see common is the two kinds of music are…

order to provide a methodical structure to my analysis. Louis Armstrong starts playing the trumpet in the first song, “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South,” almost immediately after walking onto the stage. The song is quite sullen, with all of the instruments playing in a soft, slow manner. Soon after the head ends, Louis Armstrong moves into a voice solo. Although his voice is quite rough, it interestingly invokes a certain…

She also came up with the idea of making musical instruments with the afternoon class and asked me if I would like to help because I was very artistic. When the afternoon children arrived the special helper for the yellow bumblebee group was Noah. He collected the board from the board as normal and we took…

After completing my first semester at Ohio State, I can already tell I am part of something very special. Granted, when I was accepted and when I made my decision to attend, I started to get the feeling that this would be the case. Growing up, I didn’t really think that this would be my case or story, but looking back on it, I am so happy it is. I was born in 1998 in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo as always been the place I call home, and I have spent most of my time in Ohio as well. I know the…

It was not too long ago that I started listening to the music of Beethoven out of interest. I had always dreamed of organizing my own symphony, making each and every piece with the technical mastery of that of the most incredible composers like him. When it came to portraying serious emotions such as anger, frustration or even sorrow; few could contest Beethoven. For this assignment, I decided to go with one of my favourite pieces of his: Symphony No. 7. Focusing on the second movement, before…

looks like a violin. The first sound that the instrument emits makes the song seem like it is going to be slow and solemn. However, the man playing the instrument then quickly picks up his pace and the notes being played get higher and higher. This builds up anticipation that something exciting is about to happen. Then suddenly, Duke starts playing the piano and the whole composition seems to change. The piano seems to be the most exaggerated instrument in this composition; perhaps this is…

other issues that I’m having outside of the music stand that’s in front of me just disappear from my mind. It’s a time that my head becomes clear and I know exactly what I want. I found that I wanted was to learn how to create happiness from my instrument and to translate it into the language of classical music. This was when I realized how badly I wanted to continue music performance to finish up my high school career and into college and beyond. Now, every time that I pick up my viola, the…

After listened several time of the absolute piano music, my feeling is very complex and I have a lot of words to say. First of all, I want to appreciate the composer and pianist. That is because both of you created the wonderful music for us. I thank for your contributions to the human race. So I just want to say how much I appreciate both of you and I want to also say that stay strong. History will remember both of you. In the second place, I want to talk about the piano music in some specific…

Whenever someone has free time they usually find something fun to do. As for myself, I found that audio engineering; lighting and special effects design, playing and learning about percussion instruments, and anything electronic or technical related are great things to play around with. When I was a little kid, I always played with different toys of mine that either ran on batteries, or that plugged into an electrical socket and/or took my toys apart so see how they worked. So, from that moment…

The voice, an instrument and element that can shift on different composition levels – melody, timbre research and counterpoint – is for me like standing in the mirror: what does a voice translate and where does it originate from? When does a sound transform into a song…
