“Tourist Point of View” is a piece written by Duke Ellington on the album “The Far East Suite.” The piece features the piano, the drums, the bass, the baritone saxophone, the tenor saxophone, and the trumpet. It is a medium to fast tempo piece with a steady percussion section in the background as the saxophones, trumpets, and other horns play in the foreground. This selection is in swing rhythmic feel. The piece has a rhythm and tempo that make it seem like you are on a journey. The piece also fits the swing era as the piece really is big band instrumentation and you are able to dance to it. The first adjective I would use to describe this piece is bold. I get this feeling from the drums and the short bursts from the saxophones and trumpet. The percussion is really fast paced and kind of calming with the bursts …show more content…
The percussion section plays steadily throughout the entire piece and sounds like metal banging against each other. This sound can be attributed to the cymbals. The cymbals begin at the opening of the piece and continue until the very end. When the horns are quiet it is all you hear until they come together to build the crescendo. The horns begin at the very beginning but then go silent from six seconds to thirteen seconds as if to show the journey has now started. They then play in bursts, shy at first but becoming more comfortable as the piece progresses along. At 0:56 the melody repeats. At 2:36 the instruments reach their peak and become loud, much louder than they were throughout the beginning. The fast tempo is maintained by the percussion section but the horns play at a more medium style tempo until the midway point. After the 2:36 mark they play much louder and faster in order to show the excitement stage of the journey. The solos are very short as other instruments come interrupt to keep the bold and erratic nature of an
In the second movement have a brief violin solo songs with the latter half of the elements (Schwartz, 2015). Faster featuring piano part as follows, gradually building, until near the end, in a piece of this point seems to pull back to the original melody, now given to the flute. In a peaceful, introspective rhythmic movement ended.
The performance demonstrates the variety of the flexible-but-not-quite-free post-bop genre with an intensity on modal jazz- something that had pioneered by Miles and was a staple of the 50s and 60s. Each player displays strong influences of modal jazz, avant-garde, and free jazz without completely submitting to any solid genre. The forms and tempos are much more free and open than more common jazz
This is how I heard the music, piece by piece with some help to understand and ...
The first movement is in sonata form - Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso. Strings and horns appear from the distance as if they had been already playing out of earshot. The music gradually intensifies in volume until the final explosion into the first subject. Then this whole process is repeated. The first movement shows a contrast of emotion that seems to return in the recapitulation befor...
This song tended to sound like a bossa nova piece with a mixture of hard bop included. During this performance, the trumpet player, Josh Holland, tends to vibrate at the ends of the notes, which seemed to have a slight vibrato, with a linear tone to it. The drummer, Ryan McDaniel, used the technique of ‘drum bombs’ in the performance as well. The pianist, J. Paul Whitehead, played with his right hand giving the ‘oom-pah’ sound and his left hand doing the comping. There were solos played by the trumpets, pianist, bass player, and drummer, in that order. This piece of jazz tended to get us in the feel of era of music they were
... began the piece, and the beat of the drum was frequent. After the introduction, the rest of the musicians joined. The pianist also had a solo part with the companion of the drum. The pace of the song was moderately fast, and the song ended with a climax.
Of the five minutes, I believe that the most interesting segments are the first solo and the last minute or so; I will be analyzing these particular portions in depth. From the very start, this song is hot and fast. To open, the entire band plays a fast phrase that follows the 12 bar blues scale and this phrase remains central throughout the entirety of the song. The bass and piano hold this phrase while the horns transition into a separate rhythm to compliment it. These two phrases are repeated until the beginning of the first saxophone solo at :56. During this solo the bass transitions to a shuffle line while the piano compliments. The other horns join in with riffs after the first two choruses of the solo. The solo continues for another two choruses with the whole band playing before it is rounded off. The final minute of the song begins with a repeat of the third, fourth, and fifth choruses. In the final 20 seconds, things begin to get very interesting. The horns hold the last note of the chorus as the rhythms comes to a sharp halt. The horns engage in a brief agglomeration of notes that exhibits a strong use of polyphony and could be described as somewhat hectic. The drummer begins to shine with a solo of his own which he continues for the final seconds of the song, before resolving the entire song with a final
The majority of the pieces featured a rather slow steady beat, provided by the drum and the piano, while the other instruments (mainly the brass section) were used to play the main motif along with some minor ornamentations. The third song they played, one of my favorites, was simply a steady 4/4 tempo kept by the drum, with some minor variations. The saxophone and trumpets took turns drifting in and out to carry the melody. The saxophone player delivered an entertained solo which consisted of very light and amusing trills, this created a very soothing and relaxing
The music here is still dark and gloomy, but is intensified with strings playing back and forth higher and higher notes until she jumps and Newt catches her. The strings then play a trickle of notes showing Newt and Tina running out of the room. The horns enter playing low rushed notes mimicking the quick walking by Jacob and Queenie, who have just stolen back Newts briefcase and wand, and also the running by Newt and Tina. While Newt and Tina are trying to find their way out two men shoot at them with their wands and the horns play a very Indiana Jones like rhythm. The music then changes to a gloomier sound showing Graves, a bad guy.
The brass plays an ascending sequence, followed by pizzicato notes played by the strings, and an ascending and descending scale on the harp. Strings and oboe play the rhythmic melody, whilst the trumpet plays fanfares in syncopation. The oboe is then replaced by the flute. There is an ascending scale played by the strings, then the brass section repeats the string and oboe melody with cymbal crashes at cadence points. The orchestra then plays a loud melody with cymbal crashes and drum rolls. There is an interrupted cadence, followed by crescendo with cymbal crashes and a brass ostinato. The piece ends with a perfect cadence.
The beat has four meters where one and three are more emphasized. The tempo slowly builds up until the suns are revealed and the music crescendos. The melody is soft in this scene, using horn, string, and wind instruments, but there is also a more intense version which uses trumpets and trombones, the theme is conjunct and set in minor key, but ends with a more positive major IV chord and uses more consonance than dissonance. The timbre is very subdued and slow while the form is fittingly binary.

... then plays allegro passages of semi quavers, accompanied by timpani and descending scales in the woodwind. The clarinet, takes over the main melody whilst the cello accompanies with sequences. The French horn takes over the melody, accompanied by the strings. The flute briefly plays the melody before the cello plays octaves, accompanying the woodwind as they play a reprise of the DSCH theme and the timpani crashes. Repeating the themes in the first movement, the cello plays the DSCH motif followed by the "tate ta, tate ta" rhythm in the strings. The horn then plays the theme in augmentation, whilst the cello plays passages of ascending and descending scales, and the theme is heard again in the strings. The movement builds up with the motif appearing increasingly often in the woodwind and strings and climaxes with octaves by the soloist and a boom from the timpani.
When people travel to a destination, they sure have some motivation to motivate them to make the decision. ‘Motivation’ is the key term that will make the tourist to consider the reason to travel around. During the decision making process, people will consider some of the reasons before they confirm travel to a destination. The research that has conducted in The Netherland found out a remarkably high propensity to travel, 70% of the populations are taking one holiday per year and 24% was taking two holidays per year for holiday. Some of the people will affect their decision making by looking at destination image or some of the impact advertising. On the internet, business people will use image and advertising to attract tourist to travel to the destination by using image that they edit before. This is part of the marketing to promote their country to tourist. For family traveler, they will consider the distance and transportation travel to the destination. When go for travel, tourist will bring the whole family to travel. Then, they will consider old people who travel long journey are very hard for them. If one of the family members are senior citizen, they need to consider their healthy. Some of the senior citizen cannot take long journey, such as they have sickness. Bring children go for holiday also need to be consider. Some of the children will afraid of the highest in the plane, so they will feel uncomfortable. There is plenty of reason need to consider before making any decision to travel. For understanding tourist motivation and decision making is for two main reason, planning consideration and economic consideration. (Page & Connell, 2009) Before the tourist travel to a destination, they need to think about culture, climat...
Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives.
