dynamic. The second part features the percussion ensemble with occasional choral elements in a forte dynamic. The piece opens with a held D from the upper strings at a mezzo piano dynamic. The solo clarinet then comes in, creating the first four bar musical theme (could you call it a motif?) At the end of the first theme, a tin whistle is heard playing an alternating 16th note triplet figure. A piano to mezzo piano cymbal roll takes the piece into the piano countermelody under the main melody as the
thrust towards the heavens, which leads to the other animals celebrating wildly, and then the scene ends. Throughout this paper, I will show that the texture of the music, through the use of different musical techniques, is essential in creating the particular setting and mood of this scene. The first musical component I will talk about is the vocals heard in the song. In the beginning of this song, a rising sun is being shown on the image track. To give us hints as to where this is taking place, a form
The Laidlaw Preforming Arts Center held a Wind Ensemble for the students of South Alabama. In this program there were a various Romantic style pieces which are listed on the program stapled to the back of this paper. Each piece of music shows a series of different styles, and the student band does so well with each. As the concert is coming to the end student conductors begin to conduct the pieces, and they all do a wonderful job. Jazzalogue No. 1 was the first piece played and it was written by
“You gotta play this piece like an English military band would,” said Jules during band one day while rehearsing the first movement of Gustav Holst’s Second Suite in F. “1.

The Sartell High School Band and Choir Fall Combined Concert took place at 7:30 October 17th in the high school gymnasium. The musical selections of the Wind Ensemble included a fun program piece as well as two world music pieces from around the globe. They performed “Imaginarium” and “Buenaventura”, and then combined with the Concert Band as well as all four Sartell choirs to perform “Baba Yetu.” I will be critiquing the Wind Ensemble’s dynamics and articulation. The first piece performed by the
On Thursday, September 17th at 7:30pm, I attended Daniel G. Driskell’s Alumni Piano Recital called “Around the World in 88 Keys” at the Laidlaw Recital Hall. The concert contained seven different pieces of music. The first piece of music performed was called “Sonata in A Major.” This piece is an Italian piece that was composed by Domenico Scarlatti. The piece required Driskell to do a lot of hand crossing. The piece was upbeat, happy, and dark. Driskell explained the piece as being happy and dark
in on Tosh’s microphone that he was hogging the spotlight from Tosh. It did not appear that Tosh minded, at least not on camera. Peter Tosh: Rude Boy Tosh became known as the ‘Stepping Razor’ while in the group the Wailers. His presence and musical intonations were angry and incited revolution, thus he was given this name.
