Creating a Musical Piece Named after 3.5 players of the modern Chelsea squad, the ‘Sambacudi-Gallasoterry-Lampardo’ was created after 5 weeks of non-stop creation, imagination and notation. Our goal was to create a new Dance which would be performed. The coursework was led buy Southampton University’s world famous Michael Finnessy, who is what you might call an expert on music. Our piece had to be under three minutes, but time was not a major priority. We were instructed to use four
Analysis of Musical Piece I decided to use this piece for my appraisal for a number of reasons. This piece was released in 2004 by a band called Keane; it was the first single by this band, and the single that made them famous. This song is typical for Keane. It has block chords to create a pulsing beat. This seems to be a trademark for Keane’s music. The pianist uses mainly block chords, to create the feeling that the song is pulsing, and I decided I could do this easily with my left
The History and Composition of Great Musical Pieces Music is the most intangible art form. You cannot grasp or hold it, as you can other art forms. It is there for a minute, and it vanishes as soon as the last chord fades away. The great works of music are timeless. They remain with us after all the instruments have been packed away and the players have all gone home, in our heads, playing over and over. We hear them everywhere from shopping malls to commercials, even after their composers have
The infamous story of Romeo and Juliet has been replicated in many mediums. Tchaikovsky created his own version of Romeo and Juliet in his music piece entitled Romeo and Juliet Overture: Love Theme. Tchaikovsky chose to divide his piece into different sections representing parts of the play. This beautiful piece provides an accurate representation of Romeo and Juliet in a different medium because of Tchaikovsky’s dynamics, his choice of instruments, and the sound of the music. Tchaikovsky’s first
The concert I attended was a recital of Mexican baroque choral music. There were 5 main pieces played, each one having its own unique style and function. The recital was held at University of South Carolina School of Music recital hall room 201 on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 at 6:00pm. The group that sang was the graduate vocal ensemble and was conducted by Daniel S. Clark. The group of singers did an excellent job capturing the music and it was very hard to notice any major mistakes. The concert in
Vivaldi's music is particularly innovative as he gave brightness to the formal and the rhythmic structure of concertos. He repeatedly looked for harmonic contrasts, creating innovative melodies and themes. Vivaldi’ main goal was to create a musical piece meant to be appreciated by the wide public, and not only by an intellectual minority. The joyful appearance of his music reveals a transmittable joy of composing. These are among the causes of the vast popularity of his music. This popularity soon
This is a revised version of MP3. Theoriginal Sucked ass so I took some liberties with it so as not to get an F. This one should be much better...... Mp3: A Boundary or a Bridge? One of the newest, most exciting and innovative ways to get music these days is not in the mall and not at a huge mega-sized electronic store, it's not even by a mail order CD club. It’s the computer. It sits conveniently on a desk and now allows access to every imaginable genre of music, twenty-four hours a day, rain
what her mother thought o perfect child ought to be like.) Jing-mei’s greatest challenge was to inform her mother that she wasn’t interested in being the perfect child. She simply wished to be accepted as herself. One day Jing-mei performed a musical piece on a piano at a talent show. After her horrible performance, father, mother, and Jing-mei drove home disappointed, especially mother. Jing-mei went to her room went they arrived home. Her mother went to Jing-mei’s room shouting and yelling at
a painting that has influenced my view of the world Select a creative work-a novel, a poem, a musical piece, a painting, or other work of art-that has influenced the way you view the world and the way you view yourself. Discuss the work and its effect on you. I still remember the first time I saw her. Her jealous beauty staring fervently at me. Her wealth of luscious red hair tamed by a golden clip. The precious face staring lustfully over my shoulder-or perhaps staring at me? Soft pearly-white
sections or phrases of the pieces. Most of the vowels weren’t open and unified, but they weren’t also closed and tight. They were somewhere in between. When it comes down to whether if there were more open and closed vowels, there would have been more open and unified vowels. Most of the time, the choirs were on tune but when it came to the high parts, they were mostly of tune and sounded like they were kind of screeching. Also they were sharp sometimes throughout their pieces, and it usually revolved
Crucible and The Scarlet Letter Two American authors, of two distinctly different time periods had one very similar task, to turn a piece of American History into a believable tragedy. Arthur Miller with The Crucible and Nathaniel Hawthorne with The Scarlet Letter. Perhaps one might wonder which author did a better job in doing so, but with such different pieces of work, this is hardly a question that can be answered. Miller's the Crucible was written in the nineteen-fifties, with a
through his work in both styles. Monteverdi often was known as a dramatic composer, while bringing a tremendous meaning from the text he set that often turned each of his pieces into a believable musical and also produced a dramatic statement. It was an early age when Monteverdi’s career began, he then published his first pieces, and this was based on as a collection of three-voice motets, at the age of fifteen. It was by 1591, when he went to Mantua as a musician for the Gonzaga court, by then
program started with a piece from L.V. Beethoven called Sonata in F minor, Op.57. This piece can be characterized by an intense, dramatic use of fluctuating dynamics. It was as if the crescendo was not allowed to climax, then is aborted by a sudden change to pianissimo. The so called Beethoven motif was used throughout the piece, very effectively I might add. Barbara Wieman was very animated performing this piece and seemed to be very emotional while playing. This piece was very distinct and
Dufay's Piece for Peace: an Ironic Battle Between Structure and Word On April 8, 1433, the Pope Eugenius and Sigismundus, King of the Romans, united to sign a treaty of peace. The king was crowned Holy Roman Emperor and there was much celebration. To commemorate this joyful occasion, Guillame Dufay wrote the motet "Supremum est mortalibus bonum" ("The highest good for mortals is peace"), including the names of these two honored men in his great sustained chords near the piece's conclusion (Bent

A Frank Piece of Pie A new movie that came out two weeks ago is “American Pie.” “American Pie” is a teen sex comedy that is the most sexually frank and vulgar of a long line of recently released movies that fall in this category. Other such movies that have recently come out but are not quite as frank are “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “She’s All That.” When asking what exactly is a teen sex comedy the definition is hard to explain. A teen sex comedy is a comedy with a target audience age of about
It is filled with different pieces of others selves that we have interacted with throughout our life, that combine to make one big picture, our self. I have taken pieces of many people who I have encountered throughout my life. My three older brothers influenced major pieces of my self. The pieces of their selves have "fit" into my jigsaw-puzzle self, and complete my total picture. Without force, or a conscious effort by my brothers, the certain pieces of their selves have naturally
out one line of enquiry with two pieces of quantitative information, and then one more investigation that could either be with one piece of quantitative information and one piece of qualitative or with two pieces of qualitative information. Quantitative means statistics that involve numbers e.g. IQ, weight and qualitative means statistics that are not shown with numbers e.g. hair and eye colours. The two investigations I decided to do were: 1) Two pieces of quantitative information - Contrast
Smoke Ventilation Firefighters, lately defined as heroes, have a very exciting job and do some pretty amazing things. My main interests however, is how firefighters ventilate heat and smoke from a structure fire. What pieces of equipment do they use? How do they use those pieces of equipment? Why ventilation is so important and why do they take certain precautions when using their equipment? Growing up in the woods has made my life a lot more different than an average city slicker. You see, I have
something and assume that it is not plagiarizing. It is plagiarism if only small changes were made to the source copy and the student’s work has the essential meaning as the original piece of work (Northey 1). Another way that students plagiarize is to put together different pieces of work and turn it in as their final piece of work. Despite the amount of pressure that college students have to deal with, there are ways in which students can prevent themselves from plagiarizing. Two ways that can really
