Recommended: The importance of music

Firstly, I will be playing 7 pieces; 6 with recorded accompaniment on my main instrument (the trumpet), and 1 with live accompaniment on a different instrument. I am currently unsure of what instrument I will be using for that piece, but I am leaning towards playing the piano and singing. For the three required RCM pieces, I am still in the middle of my search, but so far I would like to play Vladimir Bakaleinikoff’s “Serenade”, Richard Wagner’s “Walther’s Preislied”, and Leonard B. Smith’s “Tall Men”. For the remaining two pieces, I am unsure of what I will play but I will let you know ASAP. These song choices may be changed in the future because I haven’t purchased the pieces yet, and I haven’t gotten the time to so far. I will try to combat

    Into the Woods is a musical based off of classic Grimms Brothers’ characters and their fairytales.

    Music videos are apart of humans visual language, they are an artform and although they are arguably on the decline, music videos are an important factor of an artists career. Due to new technologies music is consumed on the internet and forgotten about daily. So from a record label point of view, an artist needs something bigger than an a song to get noticed; artists need strong creative visuals to give them a substantial competitive advantage over their peers (Boardman).

    The play I went to see was The Music Man performed by the Mesa Encore Theatre at the Mesa Community College. I saw this performance on November 20th. The main performers in this play were Zac Bushman as Harold Hill and Lauren Koeritzer as Marian Paroo. Alongside them, a mix of both adults and children as young as 8 acted in this production. The cast and crew used appropriate clothing to match the time and place. Lights were utilized scarcely, with not much more than spotlights or front and back lights. The set was extravagant, cute, and fitting for the setting and time. Overall, this musical was vibrantly performed and left me with positive impressions regarding presentation and production.

    This concert is held by the Stony Brook University music department and is to perform seven pieces of music written by seven student composers. The concert is performed in Recital Hall of Staller Center in Stony Brook University. Since it is a small hall, audiences are very close to the performers. In fact, it is the first time I am this close to the performers and the sound for me is so clear and powerful that seems like floating in front of my eyes. Among the seven pieces, “Ephemeral Reveries” and “Gekko no mori” are piano solo, “Two Songs for Joey” is in piano and marimba, “Suite” and “Fold Duet No. 1” are in woodwinds, “Elsewhere” is played by string groups, and “e, ee, ree, and I was free” is in vocal.

    Composition music theory has a longing history of how it was brought up and the way it has evolved into new cultures. “Musical Composition, the act of conceiving a piece of music, the art of creating music, or the finished product. These meanings are interdependent and presume a tradition in which musical works exist as repeatable entities. In this sense, composition is necessarily distinct from improvisation.” (Crossley-Holland, Peter)

  • The Piano Analysis

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every person has a past, every race has a heritage, and every family has a legacy. In Wilson’s play, four protagonists, Boy Willie, Berniece, Doaker and Wining Boy are all wounded by their traumatic pasts’ and have only have one reminder of their family history – the piano. During the beginning of the play, Wilson describes the setting and illustrates a piano that is dominating the parlor and gathering dust in the Charles’ home. The piano is covered with carvings of events and “mask-like figures resembling totems.” Wilson then begins to describe the carvings as “graceful” and rendering a “power of invention that lifts them out of the realm of craftsmanship and into the realm of art.” Nevertheless, to the Charles’ family, the piano is not just an ornately carved piano but rather the only symbol of their family legacy; the only way to understand the piano is to go back to the period of slavery. In the play, Doaker begins to reveal the family history to Boy Willie and explains the significance of the piano. During the slave period, Boy Willie and Bernice’s' grandfather's (Willie Boy) was owned by a man named Robert Sutter. Sutter had traded their grandmother and uncle for the piano as a present for his wife, Miss Ophelia. After getting tired of the piano, Miss Ophelia missed her slaves so much, Sutter made Willie Boy hand-carve the faces of his wife and son's faces all over the piano. However, Willie Boy didn't end there; he carved all of his ancestors onto the piano and “all kinds of things that happened with [the] family.” Miss Ophelia became ecstatic when she saw the piano, because “now she had her piano and her niggers too.” When she looked at the carvings in the piano, she could see all the faces of the slaves she missed and the...

  • Music And Rhetoric Analysis

    Music and rhetoric are very closely intertwined. It can be said that a majority of all pieces of text have some musical influence or have later on been set to music. By looking at the way music can communicate different messages we can learn a lot about our own society and culture.Music has often been referred to as a universal language. This is certainly true and it can convey messages in ways nothing else can. As universal as organized pitch and rhythm might be, and as common as some musical intervals and rhythmic patterns are to all cultures and civilizations, there are nonetheless a great many "dialects" of this language which not only distinguish one civilization from the next, but indeed distinguish different eras of the same culture

  • Analysis Of The Piano Concerto

    1294 Words  | 3 Pages

    Like every concerto, it has its unique and tricky moments for duo piano concerto collaboration. The concertos have to be different to how did I do piano solos and I need to practice it with a second piano. I think the hardest for the successful collaboration is the breath when we do either rehearsal or performance. This concerto is based on the solo-tutti relationship, they dialogue each other. In my opinion, I would like to treat it as singing a song with an accompanist, the voices and instruments all should enjoy the whole musical part where should breathing, where is the direction should deliver to. Singing and breathing together is the main focus either for rehearsal and performance. I am very lucky for prepare this duo piano concerto,
