Woodwind instrument

went off and the orchestra commenced. The clarinet was the first instrument played which was very soothing. Next, the flute began to play in the background, and immediately after that the orchestra joined in. The piece had four forms of kinetics that seem to have a homophonic texture. There were a variety of aerophone, chordophones and membranophones utilized in each piece. In this musical piece, I couldn’t organize both of the instruments being played so I had to rely on the program. Among the…

Instrument- .Glass bottle xylophone My experiment is about making a Glass bottle xylophone that plays six notes What is sound and how does it travel? Sound is a sort of energy made by vibrations (Jane. E, 2016). When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles (Jane. E, 2016). These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles (Jane. E, 2016). This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they…

tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale. The triumphant sound created by the percussions was very influential to me, and made me think of unity. As the different instruments meshed together to create a beautiful sound this caused me to really sit back and enjoy it. The soaring ballads in this song create an all in all diverse sound. Following The Band of Brothers, was Hands Across the Sea by John Phillip Sousa.…

I was the founder and concertmaster of the school woodwind quintet in the 2014-2015 school year. Convinced that a small wind ensemble would further showcase the talents of the school’s most prodigious woodwind players, I called upon several musical students in the school to form this group. Our goal was to be able to perform the woodwind quintet arrangement of Debussy’s “Petite Suite” for the Spring Music Night in May. We set a weekly rehearsal time and I handed out each person’s music,…

E-Flat for Military Band Op.28, No.1 by Gustav Holst is particularly unpopular due to it’s somewhat esoteric instrumentation,as the song was composed for a military band which is considered to be a wind orchestra instead.Orchestras with string instruments are far more popular and is the reason for its unpopularity outside of wind bands. It being so praised, it’s known beloved and popular in concert band repertoire ,I’ve heard this piece many times before deciding to finally rehearse…

Tale of Tsar Saltan written by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1899 based on the poem of the same name by Aleksandr Pushkin. It comes as the prelude to Act III, where a prince rescues a swan which is attacked by a bumble bee. The composer professionally used instruments of the orchestra to create pictures from the story. The musical piece is a programmatic music in ternary form that is representing the sound of a bumblebee. The strings are heard buzzing hurriedly about at the outset, brilliantly conveying…

through these inanimate, unfamiliar parts. But what I didn’t realize is that I am staring at my destiny: I am about to become an oboe player. My journey to play the oboe was definitely unconventional. Unlike the other kids in band, I learned my instrument the summer before freshman year; they had been playing since sixth grade. Although, I wasn’t a complete stranger to the music world–I played the violin throughout middle school and absolutely loved it. But with the transition from middle…

good choice for children with cognitive impairments. Kids with ADHD will benefit the most from learning string instruments, percussion and the saxophone because they allow movement and standing. Depending on the physical ability strings, brass, percussion, or woodwind instruments might be a desired choice. People who are deaf will have a better time with string instruments or woodwinds because they allow the player to feel vibration. (Habermeyer) Music surrounds our life, but maybe in more ways…

instrumentation very much resembles palace horns, bird songs, and also the mystery of the forests. The first movement, Bewegt, nicht zu schnell, begins with a distant horn call, over the shimmering of strings. The theme then quickly picked up by the woodwinds. One of the favourite rhythmic was a duplet followed by a triplet, it was also the climax of the first theme. Whereas on the second theme, it combined the violin’s chirping bird with a flowing counter melody. It ended with the initial theme…

Orchestration addresses how the combination of specific instruments in the orchestra come together to create a unique, overall sound. Composers and musicians learn ways to combine sound and to develop a conceptualization of orchestral sound. In orchestration, examples from past literature are studied and scrutinized…
