Brass Band Play Paper The performance took place at TA High School, and was called Ad Optimum, which means “to the highest.” The Massanutten Youth Brass Band took the stage first, with Prelude for an Occasion. The piece started out softly, yet quickly worked towards a solid forte. During which certain sections would slide in and out, crescendoing and decrescendoing alternatively to create a rising and falling sound which, overall, managed to remain quite constant. In the closing measures, the band
Brass section Edit The brass section is a collective term for the trombone and trumpet sections. Quite often these sections play the same phrases and rhythms, for a powerful, brassy sound. These instruments can also make use of sound-changing mutes, which are widely used in jazz. Trumpets Edit The trumpet section usually comprises four (sometimes five) players, each playing a separate part. The section leader is usually the first (or lead) trumpet, who plays the highest and most strenuous part. When
is the brass band. Through better understanding its origin, how it was received in American society, and what other band genres existed and emerged during its development, we can begin to understand the brass band’s lack of recognition in the States. After providing background on the genre of the brass band, its function in society, past and present societal beliefs on music, and the development of other band genres, research will show how these factors impacted the popularity of the brass band.
malleability and corrosion resistance and traditional acoustic characteristics of brass have made its use as a metal of choice in the construction of musical instruments, because acoustic resonators possess long, narrow tubing in the form of folds and coils for compactness. Gold and silver with its alloys are also used for the same purpose but brass is the most economical metal of choice. Musical instruments which are also known as brass instruments include tuba, trombone, trumpet, euphonium, French horn, baritone
Brass is a metal composed mainly of the two elements zinc and copper. With copper being the main element, brass is generally considered a copper alloy. The color of the brass will vary from a dark reddish brown to a lighter silver-yellow color depending on the amount of zinc present. When copper appears on the lighter end of the color scale, it means it has a high concentration of zinc. Brass is a popular choice for it is stronger than copper but not quite as strong as steel. It is easily malleable
Brass is a generic term for alloys that contain copper and zinc (Lab Packet). An alloy is a metal that consists of a mixture of metals. They can have varying amounts of zinc and other elements composed within the alloy such as iron, lead, aluminum, and tin (Lab Packet). These variations in the components of brass produce a wide range of brass properties but all brass is corrosion resistant. This ideal alloy has many purposes ranging from musical instruments to architectural purposes such as pipes
Objective The objective of this experiment is to calculate the coefficient of linear expansion of a metal. The change in length of several materials such as glass, brass, copper, stainless steel and aluminum will be determined and the corresponding coefficient of linear expansion would be calculated.

Copper and copper alloys, such as bronze, brass, leaded brass are commonly used in friction parts of machines, as bearing liners, bushings, and water with gas fittings. Properties such as high strength and ductility, fatigue strength, wear resistance and machinability are necessary for these materials. Obtaining such properties is possible by creating submicrocrystalline and nanocrystalline structures in the materials [1]. The most common copper alloys are the brasses for which zinc, as a substitutional
Steel Screws in Brass marine Hardware When two dissimilar metals (e.g. Steel and Brass) are physically connected and exposed to an electrolyte, the metal higher in Electrochemical undergoes corrosion .This type of corrosion, is called “Bimetallic or Galvanic Corrosion.” Symptoms of Bimetallic Corrosions The first sign of galvanic corrosion is paint blistering (starting on sharp edges) below the water line—a white powdery substance forms on the exposed metal areas. As the corrosion continues,
I was able to teach trombone to Hector. During this lesson, I taught him how to buzz and the first five notes of the Bb concert scale. We went through a few of the section in the Brass Method book. We got this goal accomplish within our lesson. Firstly, I started with helping him learn how to start buzzing. I demonstrated how to buzz without the mouthpiece. I was getting him to set the embouchure by saying ‘M’ then I told him to push air to help vibrate his lips. After he got a solid buzz without
]. Some alloying elements sometimes added to impart special characteristics to brass. Lead, which is insoluble in copper alloys, used to improve machinability of leaded brass. However, Pb and Bi or other elements that are used to improve the machinability often deteriorate the low and high temperature ductility of brass [11]. The content of Pb element is varies between 2.5 and 3.5 %, which make the machining processes at high speed and good surface [12]. The solubility of lead in copper alloys is
What is a brass instrument? A brass instrument is known as an “aerophone”, which is an instrument where the musician blows air through the instrument. The player of the brass instrument makes a tone by buzzing their lips against a cup-shaped mouthpiece. However, many brass instruments aren’t purely made of brass. Many of these instruments have other metals to form separate parts of the instrument. Brass instruments, like every other pitched music instrument, are reliant on on the overtone series
I joined the Brass Quintet only last year, but as its Student director this year, I find that it is pushing the boundaries of my musical expertise to their limits. As important as accountability for each member is because the Brass Quintet is such a small chamber group, I have found that my duties as the student director have proven to be much more important. As part of
On Monday, December 4, 2017. I attended my first ever brass concert. In total there were seventeen pieces played throughout the concert. The seventeen pieces that were played, included: The Old Spagnoletta, Tell me Daphnee, A Toye, His Dreame, and The New Sa-hoo by Giles Faraby; following was Andante con moto-Allegro con brio, Andantino, and Molto Vivace by Jan Koetsier; following that was Prologue, Something’s Coming, Maria, Tonight, America, One Hand, One Heart, I Feel Pretty, and Somewhere by
I, Lilian Vay, am a student of the Cathedral City High School Royal Regiment. I am auditioning for the position of Low Brass Section Leader. I believe I am a viable candidate for this position because I have demonstrated utmost maturity and possess very distinctive leadership qualities. Low Brass was thriving as a section during my two previous seasons, but I strongly believe I can elevate the section’s abilities beyond the thresholds of excellence. Because I am diving into my third year of

The knob turned effortlessly as the urge to invade Rebecca’s territory became stronger and stronger. After entering, I suddenly felt faint and the dreaded black spots returned once more. I perched myself at the dressing table. The memories of the room flooded my mind like a tsunami
Low Brass Ensemble For my last and final concert review of the semester I went to the Low Brass Ensemble on November 7th in White Concert Hall. I am not a very big music concert fan in general, but this performance was pretty good. There were only a few instruments and 10 students playing those instruments. After each piece, the performers moved different seats and I was never able to figure out why they did that. The first performance that took place this night was called Serenade Eine Kleine
the harp accompanies and the violins play a pedal note. Diminished 7th chords are then played by strings and flute, whilst the harp plays ascending scales. A long timpani roll creates a tense rumbling sound whilst the strings and woodwind crescendo. Brass and bangs of the timpani are then introduced at the climax. The strings and woodwind then use antiphony and play in syncopation as the music accelerates. The exposition section of the sonata form structure therefore begins with the music being very
these subjects and purposes heavily influenced composers approaches to writing, use of modes to create moods, instrumentation for texture and even figuration for interest. The Development of instruments plays an important role in the composers work, brass instruments like the Trombone and the French Horn, woodwind like the flute or clarinet or string and plucked instruments like the lute and double bass.
