Trumpet

ensemble piece rough sketch Immortal, for 4 trumpets and 4 trombones, and 1 Person to blow up Balloons. The Trumpets will stand in position at the right of the stage. 3 will be designated as “followers” and will stand in a straight vertical line facing the left of the stage, in front of the remaining trumpet player, who is designated as the leader. The Trombones will set up in the same fashion, but mirroring the Trumpets. the Trombones and the Trumpets should be no closer than 5 feet apart.…

later transitions around 2:50 to a lush chorale type motive with a call a response happening between the lower voices/trumpets and the woodwinds. This continues until a bouncy texture change at 4:38 that is set up by the upper voices that is then immediately contrasted by the percussion and the jagged interjections by the trombones and brass.…

The pay levels within an orchestra vary quite a bit in terms of compensation for instrument. Orchestra performers all play the same role. Performers who are experienced with an instrument, rather in front of a live audience or not, are needed for their ability to play specific instruments for entertainment to those who wish to hear their talent. Performance per instrument appears to be on a need basis. A violin concert master is compensated with a fee of $6,970. Low on the totem pole is of…

The Trumpet – various, trumpet A mixture of feelings is how I reacted to this album. A selection of pieces, experts, and composers that I have not even heard of appeared on this album. This album featured many different trumpeters as well, making it hard to hone in on specifics on the technique of playing. Ludwig Guttler, however, did appear on many of the pieces and had an interesting sound. At first listen, I was struck by the style of his tone and timbre. Ludwig sounded very, in the throat,…

The song begins with a low and dreary beat and guitar strumming. The slow, somewhat sad tune casts an image, in my mind, of a man strolling from a bar after having a bad day, perhaps after being laid off by his boss. It has a slow, but steady pace that is supported by the guitar and low drum beats. At around the 3 minute mark , the beat speeds up slightly, as if to suggest tribulations or a slight sign of hope and light amongst the gray tone that has been present for the majority of the song…

yet powerful sounding instruments today. Brass instruments have vastly different histories and origins which have evolved to work perfectly together in terms of sound in any band or corp. The trumpet has been around the longest out of all brass instruments. Trumpets can be traced back to 1500BC. Trumpets were found in King Tut's…

picture something along the lines of a saxophone player standing on a street corner in the French quarter of New Orleans. Or a thought of the roaring 20s' and imagine your self at a party where everyone is dancing to the sound of a live band with trumpets, saxophones, and trombones. However these are actually surprisingly accurate to what jazz really is. But how did such an innovative type of music come about? Who was the first one to bend the rules of music and create a whole new genre? Who…

The Negro Speaks of Rivers, being Hughes’ earliest work, is indicative of the themes that run through much of Hughes’ work. Hughes use of black pride is present; he writes, “I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young./ I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep./ I looked upon the Nile and raised pyramids above it./ I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln/ went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy/ bosom turn all golden in the sunset” (Hughes, 23).…

louder sound over all and its use of crescendos that brought a sound of power to the ensemble. Another interesting thing I heard in this song was the use of slight dissonance between the trumpets on some of their chords. This gave a wild feel to the song, but it still maintained its smooth demeanor. The trumpet solo in this song was also impressive. The soloist had nice tone and his note accuracy was fairly good, but one of the only problem I had with the solo was that it was a little hard to…
