Why I Chose When The Saints Go Marching In

The first great player I chose was Louis Armstrong, also nicknamed Satchmo or Pops was an American jazz player. He was born on August 4, 1901 in Louisiana He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, which is also where he worked for most of his life. Louis played the trumpet and the cornet for his life, it was his passion and it was his talent. These are 3 pieces of music that I really enjoyed listening to, and I think were his best songs recorded. The first song I chose was "When The Saints Go Marching In." It is an American gospel hymn. Luther G. Presley wrote they lyrics of the song but didn't become well known until the 1930's. The reason that I chose When The Saints go marching in was because I listened to many songs and many

Then I liked how he a very high note and then all players stopped playing so he could start singing the song. Then soon after the only instrument was the double bass, making the atmosphere very low and his voice sort of bring the mood up. Then in the end they all started playing bringing it together. It was a very jumpy song. Sometimes the mood would be low and at other times it would sort of jump making the song very upbeat and low beat too. It was a very straightforward piece, however they were all playing notes and not making much unusual sounds with their instrument, making the song sound very neat and smooth. If you are interested in this song all you need to do is go to YouTube and write "Louis Armstrong- When The Saints Go Marching In". The second song is "When You Wish Upon A Star" and is a song that was written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's Pinocchio. It was recorded by Louis Armstrong on May 16,1968. It is available on Disney Song the Satchmo

What I enjoyed was the way that it was a sad, and inspiring song that kept the atmosphere very depressing and emotional, it really make you want to cry. I also really like his trumpet solo, which just added to the affect. It was vey loud making it stand out and it was so sad, that it really made me want to cry. It was a really smooth piece all on the same low music playing until he picked up the trumpet making it stand out louder then the rest of the piece. In the end he sorts of just mixes his trumpet part back into the song making the tone change back to a very low and depressing tone with nothing sticking out. All the notes were very low making the piece very smooth. Overall, he didn’t change it much except for making it a bit more on the jazz side.
