Rhythm is sounds as they move through time. What is melody; melody in music is a group of notes (how high or low a note sounds) which are played one after another. Melody can't exist without rhythm because melody is a rhythmically organized sequence of single tones so related to one another as to make up a particular phrase or

5 the 4th movement. Beethoven’s innovation of bigger orchestra’s was a game changer in the Classical Era and he definitely deserves to be ranked as a “Maverick of Sound.” This piece is rumored to be an autobiographical tale of Beethoven losing his hearing and was done in the period’s traditional sonata form. This piece beautifully evoked the mood of what I imagined as Beethoven’s dilemma of “fate knocking at the door.” Everything in this composition is built around the four opening notes. The tempo allegro was brisk and lively. The exposition set the tone with string instruments followed by the entire orchestra repeating in a march-like character. The bridge was similar in mood to the opening and was announced by horns. The recapitulation led to a long coda that punctuated the ending which built to an exciting climax accentuated by a dynamic fortissimo resolution to the frenzied tension. This joyful finale was great fun to listen to and a most excellent way to end the
Beethoven's Symphony No.3 also known as the Eroica consists of four parts, namely, allegro con brio, adagio assai, scherzo and allegro, which is the standard structure of a symphony. In this work, the analysis focuses on the first movement so as to show how Beethoven enriched symphony. The first movement has a distinctive sonority and texture. It is considerably long as it takes about 14 minutes (it may depend on the version). Some complete symphonies from the classical period are about the same length as this first movement, so Beethoven's work set aside from the traditional symphony. It tells other composers that there is no such thing as a standard length of symphony's movement. In order to understand the first movement, one needs to consider the historical framework. Beethoven composed his 3rd symphony at the beginning of the XIX century when Europe underwent through a lot of political changes. The absolutism was coming to an end, so freedom was in everyone's heart. Beethoven manages to convey particular feelings and emotions t...
A symbol is a word or expression which signifies something other than the physical object to which it directly refers. The book “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee contains three recognizable symbols.
In the woodwind family, the piccolo and the bassoon are being played. In the brass family, the French horn and the trombones are being played. In the percussion family the bass drum, triangle and the cymbals are being played. Lastly, in the string family, violas and cellos were being played throughout the 4th movement of Ode to joy.

It is commonly asserted that the opening four note rhythmic motif is repeated throughout the symphony. Not only is this one of the most popular symphonies in the world, a book has been written by Mathew Guerrier (Knopf, 359 pages) titled “The First Four Notes.” It was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal Dec 22, 2012 by the Leon Botstein: “Beethoven’s opening was startling because it foregrounded silence. It employed compressed and intense sonorities that stop before they begin again. The listener hears three short notes followed by a longer one. Then after a pause of indeterminate length, the whole sequence is repeated a step lower. But the symphony actually begins with an eighth rest.”

Rhythm and blues, also known as R&B, is something that I really enjoy. I am a singer and along with country music, R&B is my favorite thing to sing. With rhythm and blues, there is a song for every emotion, so most of the time the songs can be very relatable. The songs have a variety of subjects like sex, work, and even drinking. In this paper I will briefly discuss how rhythm and blues started, how it evolved into today’s music and why I like it so much.
Ludwig van Beethoven is who everyone thinks of first when someone asks if you know any composer from classical music. Beethoven changed the sound of music in the early 1800’s from bland and meaningless, to exciting and heartfelt. You felt Beethoven’s pain through his music. Was Beethoven’s deafness to blame for his spark of genius that changed the course of classicism, to romanticism? Was it not for his lonesome solitude, and lack of hearing that drove him to create the masterpieces that are still resonating through current times?
T, P and D, as this is pointless (i.e. those arranged in the same way
The Music from classical era had a meaning that so many wants to hear the sound of the piece. Most Composer had a harsh life then, other era. In addition the classical era had more melody and texture to the piece. The music piece I chose was symphony No. 5. The reason I chose it, was because I loved how the song was dark, then to light. I’m going to talk about what the did, what was the music like. The mood the composer had when making this piece, a few reasons why. and the style about it.
Imagine yourself at a symphony concert and being moved by the first movement of the piece. Now picture yourself getting lulled by the sweet, slow movement of the second movement, when all the sudden you are startled by a sudden burst of sound coming from the orchestra. What I just described is Josef Haydn’s Symphony No. 94, also known as “The Surprise” Symphony. The 94th symphony is one of the 104 symphonies Haydn created in his musical career. Haydn’s best-known symphonies, however, were his later symphonies (Nos. 93- 104), also known as his London Symphonies. The significance of these symphonies were the stylistic contrasts of his
This shows that when the violins join in where it made it sound more like a snowing day. This piece was successfully played with very relaxing tone, along with the violins and piano. However, the second medley was only a solo piano, it had very slow high pitch sounds where it repeated in a poem. Later, the piano takes most of the lead it stats the third medley which was begins with piano and then the viola, cello, and violins join in together. The piano takes most of the lead in the medley where in some notes it goes into a dark loneliness pitch but shouts off by having the viola help it to pick
