Timbre

For the first activity, I attended the play “The Last Five Years”, held Friday October 7, 2016 in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall. As stated in the playbill, The Last Five Years is “a show about a relationship, about a marriage…it’s told from two angles. From the man’s point of view, it starts at the first meeting and ends in the present…from the woman’s point of view, it starts in the present and works back to the first meeting.” (citation). The cast was made up of college students…

I am your English 12 teacher and I like to make things. I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than imagining a great tree fort, then gathering the materials and building a special refuge for me and my friends. Over the years I’ve built sheds, fences, decks, boats, guitars, catapults, barges and barns. The thrill of seeing something from my imagination coming to life and taking its place in the real world makes me feel powerful and alive. Through the things that I make, other people get…

instrument. It was not, by any means, a trumpet, for the bugle was considered an infantry instrument while the trumpet, a cavalry instrument. Considered a descendent of the hunting horn, the bugle, though played similar to the trumpet, had a different timbre, making a definite distinction between these two appealingly similar instruments on the battlefield. The hunting horn, considered the father of the bugle, came with colonists as they immigrated from Europe, especially Great Britain, where…

acronym for H.A.I.L.: honesty, authenticity, integrity and love. As an analogy, Julian uses tools in a toolbox that represents how you can take advantage of your voice to convey a point, and to entice audiences. The tools were as listed: register, timbre, prosody, pace, pitch, and volume. Julian then asks the audience to stand up, and to warm up their voice by: putting your arms up, deep breath in, sighing out, warming up your lips, warming up your tongue, and performing the siren method to prep…

corresponding track was written by Stuart Maxfield, Robbie Connolly, Brandon Kitterman, and Aaron Anderson. Free Spirit was released on July 29th, 2016. (Harbour Recordings) This song utilizes a lot of electronic sounds to create an atmosphere of different timbres The introduction to High Society starts with a synthesizer “progression”, of which term I will choose to use loosely, that lasts approximately ten seconds before subduing itself into the first verse devoid of any instrumentation…

for a small crescendo at m. 10, and crescs-decrescs. at mm. 12-14., before again returning to the initial pp dynamic. The melody is very flowy, like waves. It sits mostly in the upper register, except for the final 4 bars of the piece. The piece’s timbre is soft, mellow, and romantic (which makes sense as it is a piece from Scriabin’s early period). The piece combines both homophonic and polyphonic textures as both the left and right hand have points where the rhythms are the same thus creating…

Throughout history, few conflicts have been that horrific like the First World War. Being one of its combatants, the English poet Wilfred Owen was one of the first to question military propaganda which defended the old Latin proverb: “Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori”; meaning ‘it is sweet and glorious to die for one’s country’. With nothing else than words, he created a distinguished and innovative masterpiece that condemned the grandeur of war by picturing how cruel and deranged the…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

On Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm, I have attended a performance by Joy Harjo and her friends Mitch Taylor who played the guitar, Dave Copenhaver who played the bass guitar, and Smiling’ Vic Gutierrez who played the drums and vocals. I had specifically chose this performance to do my report on because I wanted to feel what actual Native American music would be like in concert as opposed to what we naturally think of when it comes to Native American music. For me, that would include heavy…
