Joseph Haydn was one of the composers from the eighteenth century whom worked mainly for courts, churches, teaching, performing and composing on commission or publication for a living. Haydn was known as the “Father of Symphony” for wide publication of his symphonies. Symphonies, instrumental sonatas and string quartets are the most well known works, which made him a prolific composer in the classical period. Haydn was born in Rohrau and started to learn music in singing, playing the harpsichord…

Scerbo, before the recital on Sunday. I was preparing a piece by Charlie Parker named "Anthropology". Despite its difficulty, I felt that I would be able to perform it well. I would not play it at the original tempo because Parker was a phenomenal saxophonist, but I would play it at a decent tempo. Originally, I worked on the piece when I could, and I moved at a rate that would prepare me for the performance. A couple weeks before the recital, I stopped practicing, satisfied with my level of…

When it comes to music in film, it is important to properly capture what is onscreen with the music accompanying the scene. A piece of music that is appropriately orchestrated will allow the viewer to feel as though they have become a part of the film. Because the point of view of the camera is omniscient, the following musical description will attempt to create a piece that will not overpower the scene but rather complement it, and follow the emotion of the main character as the viewer cannot…

around the home, such as pasta shells, paper plates, paint and coloured paper. With trial and error before did the final stapling of the paper plate folded in half, developed nature of the instrument. Until l was able to be satisfied with rhythm, tempo and the sound of it (Dinham,2014, p. 282). Furthermore, discovering cultural pluralism has significate cultural use throughout the world (Dinham, 2014, p.11) decorated the maraca in bright colours and strips of paper to take own ship and be proud…

conducting patterns. It is important that a conductor knows the stroke of a specific patterns. The downs stroke usually the strong beat and the upstroke is the weak beat. Tempo in a piece usually changes from time to time. So the conductor should be flexible and keen enough to feel the changes. .However, there are some pieces that tempos are permanent all throughout the musical piece. Here are some basic conducting patterns that you could refer and study see figure D.1. Notice on figure D.2. It…

like the first piece, the conductor introduced the piece, made a signal and the lights dimmed. For this number, the violin was played first, followed by the Harp, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Trumpet and Flute. This piece commenced off lento but reached tempo over time. I experienced allegro in the middle of the piece which created a storytelling feel in my head. I suggest that the overall dynamics of this piece was pp—mp—mf—f—ff, with a theme and variation form. In the cessation, all the…

Concerto No. 4 was composed in a G major scale, is about sixteen minutes long, and consists of three movements. The first movement is played allegro, which means it has a quick tempo. The second movement is andante, meaning it has a fairly slow tempo. The third, and final, movement is played in presto, making it the fastest tempo in the piece. Bach is well-known…

There are two main ways of looking at the tempo of evolution and they are phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. These two ideas are opposite, however, they are not entirely different concepts; it is like they are at two ends of a continuum. Phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium provide different ways of determining how fast changes occur. Phyletic gradualism “holds that daughter species unusually originates through a progressive series of small, gradual transformations of…

1 in D major, “Titan,” was performed next. It was much longer in duration than the first piece. It showed uniqueness in that it incorporated everyday sounds into the music, such as bulge calls, bird songs, and dance tunes, which provided for a very wide variety of tone colors. The symphony began with a thick-textured undertone in the strings and a two-note “hunting call” in the woodwinds, which persisted throughout the piece. Also present was a bright fanfare in the trumpets, followed by a light…

The first part with the original definition of the tempo - Non allegro - begins with a clear rhythm in the pianissimo of the violins, against which there flashes a brief, of only three sounds, the motif of the English horn, repeated by the clarinet, and then descending all the way to the bassoon and bass clarinet. This is a kind of premonition of the basic images that will unfold further. In the meantime, another theme comes into Fortissimo: tough, angular, in the jerky sounds of the orchestra…
