Themes and Variations of the Trout Quintet A quintet is a work for five instruments, in this case piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass (piano quintet). The fourth movement of this quintet is a theme and variations on Schubert's song 'Die Forelle' (The Trout). Schubert (1797-1828) was a prolific song / lied composer. Many of his songs took their inspiration from the beauty of nature; 'The Trout' being a good example. Much of his 'lieder' display pictorial word painting effects in
Handel’s Messiah I attended a collaboration of the Kansas City Symphony and the Independence Messiah Choir. Together they performed George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. The performance was an oratorio, which is a musical piece that is typically lengthy, tells a story, is based on Biblical or religious events, and is performed through voice and orchestra. I was a perceptive listener during the performance, as I was not just only basking in the delightful sound, while having associations for the music

chordophone called double bass. The piano is the fundamental instrument for all kinds of jazz performance since its origin. In jazz culture, it was considered as the main instrument for not only jazz composition, but also improvising performance. With its wide range of pitches and the easiness of improvisation, it took part as the main rhythms and melodies for Cécile’s performance. The drum sets which provided the supporting rhythm were comprised of several tenor drums, a bass drum that created very
Teacher Comment: As a part of the requirement for this course, each student must attend two live performances and submit a concert report on each. The reports should demonstrate “Active Listening” and not be merely reviews or critiques. I am interested in the student’s experience at this particular performance. There is no obligation to use fancy terminology. Just tell me what happened, how it affected you, how this experience will influence your plans for future concert attendance? I am particularly
cellos and double basses. These instruments introduce the first theme by plucking the strings of their instrument which is also known as pizzicato. The bassoons then play octaves of alternating notes. The bass drum is then introduced establishing the tempo of alla marcia, meaning that the tempo is played in a march-style manner. The theme is then played in molto marcato. Following this comes the piano playing the key of B minor. Soon after, the theme is repeated with the cellos, double basses and
orchestras there are four instruments used: the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Most high schools contain this type of orchestra; however there are many other instruments that can be added to create a symphonic orchestra. From the string instruments the best is actually the most undervalued instrument. The “Middle Child” of the family of strings. The one that everyone should want to play is obviously the viola. The violin, cello, and bass are all wrong. Each one has their own handicap that prevents them
third segments are almost the same. The piece is much like a waltz and has a tempo that is moderate to moderately fast. It is composed of string instruments and a snare drum. The first segment of the piece is an orchestra composed of cello, violin and bass instruments. The segment is divided into four sub-segments. The orchestra play a forte then a decrescendo to a mezzo forte. As the four sub-segments, the transformation to the second segment is brought into by a decrescendo that is a slightly slow
What Goes Into A Best Bass Lure? Rapala Fishing Lure Knowing which type of lure is the best bass lure is something fishermen (and fisherwomen) around the globe ask and yearn to learn through trial and error every single day. The answer to the often asked question of "What is the best bass lure" is both extremely simple and oh so complicated, there is actually a science behind the answer and I'll try to explain it for you here. Let's first eliminate some of the bass fishing related non factors to
The Winter Orchestra Concert on March 10 was amazing. The first band was Concert Orchestra. The first piece they played was Allegro by J.H. Fiocco, arranged by E.D. Borgo. This song had an equal tone quality. The violins were great with keeping up with the tempo. It sounded like one instrument the blending was amazing. The violins had awesome sixteenth note runs. It was also a constant dynamic it was forte. The intonation of the performers was good. The balance between the instruments was also equal
Concert Report The location of the concert was in Downtown San Jose and it was held in the California theater. The seating was appropriate for the ensemble. I was able to see all the instruments because of the risers and hear all the wind instruments because they were placed on a higher level with risers or platforms. The acoustics for the orchestra was very well. I did not hear any outside noise even though we were near the San Jose Airport. The walls and ceilings gave us the reflected sound because
Traditionally, the bass performs two vital functions within a band or a group: it provides the rhythmic and harmonic foundations. The rhythmic foundation refers to the steady pulse of music and a skilled bassist supports the group by providing a good steady beat. The sense of rhythms must be very solid and independent from anyone in the group, that way when all joined together, each member of the group should have a good rhythm while playing as a whole. If the notes are in the wrong place rhythmically
occasionally. The orchestra was arranged in a "U" shape so the instruments all turned in towards each other. From the audiences' point of view, violins were on the far left, violas, to their right, cellos to their right, and on the far right side stood the double basses. The 1st violinist sat in the second to last chair to the left, and among all this, the concert master stood in the center. The opening piece was very brief and light. It resinated a cheerful tone while exhibiting wide dynamics. The first
Bass Guitar: Origins In terms of guitars, the bass guitar is one of the “newest” instruments. The bass guitar, however obvious it may seem, was not derived from the guitar. Electrical guitars were created from acoustic guitars, while bass guitars were actualized from the double bass instrument. These instruments were at first known as electrical bass instruments or the electric bass. The double bass instruments are colossal classical instruments that have been around for hundreds of years
playing in the WNE, the bass guitar, and the one and only Willie Nelson. In the legendary WNE, I am the bass player. For this project, it took hours on end of studying the bass inside and out to become this legendary player that I dreamt of before this project. The electric bass, a mystical object that is the foundation of every song, was invented by Paul Tutmarc. Since the 1960s the bass guitar has replaced other instruments like the tuba, the organ, and other low pitched bass instruments. There are
Dave Matthews Band Formed in 1991, The Dave Matthews Band is composed of the widely varied musical interests of five musicians to create a uniquely impressive sound that combines the influences of folk, Jazz, rock, world beat, and reggae. South African David Matthews, the band's lead guitarist, began to assemble the players in 1991 to accompany him on a demo tape of original songs. Matthews, at the time was a bartender at a Charlottesville, Va. Jazz venue, called Millers. Matthews decided
The gentle strum of the bass guitar ends the silence of the night with a soft yet deep note that brings consciousness to me. "Beautiful Morning With You" by the Pillows fills my ears like the soft sunlight filtering through the shades of my window, bringing light to my dark world. I am awake without effort. The light tapping of the cymbals dispels the ethereal world of dreams around me. The strum of the guitar strings come again insistently, pushing my eyelids slowly open as I find my way from the
publications of the time e.g. NME. Their lead singer Ian Curtis is well known for his on stage performance where he often looked possessed by devils. His vocals range from a fast, tenor, atmospheric sound to a steady, bass, haunting sound as in The Eternal. The mix of their songs causes the bass and drums to be very prevalent and the vocals and lead guitar in the background. The tempo, dynamic and melody always influence the content of the lyric. Evanescence did, in fact get into the charts when their
musical instruments used in the High and Late Renaissance include plucked strings, bowed strings, brass, double reeds, other winds, keyboards, and percussions (McGee, 1985). Lutes, drums, and trumpets were often used, but the instruments that were especially popular during the Renaissance include the bass viol, treble viol, viola, violin, tenor sackbut, cornetto, bass sackbut, curtal, tenor shawm, bass recorder, and harpsichord (McGee, 1985).
