Essays on Flute

On February 4, 2016, I got a chance to attend the concert at the Recital Hall of Laidlaw Performing Arts Centre. The instruments included piano and flute. This was a Flute Recital. Each piece was performed by a different musician. At 7.30 p.m. the audience indulged itself in the world of a wonderful music. The first composition that was performed was the “Summerland”, composed by William Grant Still, also known as “The Dean of African-American Composers”. This charming melody is very light and truly reveals the summer as everyone imagines it: the warm breeze, the sunshine. It was clear ...

Introduction While Canada is considered a relatively new country, much of its history can be traced to the end of the first ice age, 20 thousand years ago.

The musical element of this selection is monophonic. She sings in a cappella scales in Thai vernacular, with light crescendos and decrescendos for added emphasis. The artist sings in strophic repetition. Thai culture is traditional and based on simplicity. This comes out while listening to the song. If this song were categorized today it would be considered folk music because folk music is considered to be a part of the culture that it derives from.

In this paper I will talk about the film Amadeus from 1984. I will summarize the movie focusing on the Mozart rebelled actions against the patronage system explaining the concepts, especially looking for how rich people from that time hired composer to write music only for their own interest. The film is an adaption after Shaffer’s stage play Amadeus from 1979 in which the composer Antonio Salieri discover Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s brilliant talent but it’s running him because of his pride and envy feeling. The action is set on Austria, more precisely in Vienna during the ...

It is scarcely possible to describe the history of music without reaching the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart is well known and celebrated as being one of the greatest composers and musicians in recorded history, and for good reason. Very few individuals in history have had such a profound and pronounced effect on their field as Mozart has, and a testament to this can be read from the symbolism and thematic content of his magnum opus, The Magic Flute. It is an ostensibly light-hearted fairy-tale opera that served as a convenient introduction to the genre and continues to do so more ...

The Native American history and culture as we know it is rich and vibrant. Often mistaken for savages who had nothing better to do than scalp intruders and run naked through the woods, Native Americans were more civilized than first documented . Each tribe, large or small, was a society unto itself. They had forms of counsel, or government, and different tools they would use to maintain order and assign jobs. They planted crops, hunted, and continued their survival based on what the land was willing to give. When not concerned with survival, however, the Native Americans began to cultivate different ...

Symphony

Their voices are like bells, ringing out through the air in a clarion call of frantic joy. The air is silken and warm around me, caressing me with gentle tendrils of wind, as soft as a child’s hands. The grass is smooth, velvet, the pure green of an emerald held up to the light, and it smells of fresh mornings, and new growing things. The children play, moving in free strides of careless abandon, their small hands wrapping around the monkey bars, the chains of the swings as they push themselves skyward. The sun is bright, and as warm as ...

I recently attended an MDC Faculty Recital conducted by Dr. Virginia Carruvias featuring music by Claude Bolling. My enjoyment and appreciation of his music will be the subject of analysis and appreciation throughout this paper. I also wish to comment on the feelings I experienced while listening to the music and what my general understanding of the technical aspects were during the evening. This analysis varies with the different movements of the music for each suite. During the evening, three movements of the suite for flute and piano (Irlandaise, Sentimentale, Baroque & Blue) and 3 movements of the suite for ...

Classic music era falls between 1730 and 1820 or more likely it is from 16th century to the 19th century. Romantic music era started in the late 18th century or especially in early 19th century. The exact century has yet not been found. Mozart and Beethoven are great composers of classical and romantic music with their own individual styles. Although most part of Beethoven’s music is considered in, the classical tradition of Mozart but his style is different from classical in many ways. Now, he evolved as a bridge between both classical and romantic music eras. The most ...

3 Subject + Magic Flute The love of music comes from the feeling afterwards felt after listening to musical pieces. However, this is not the primary intention for individuals who need to listen to music since the objective may involve the need to hear precision and perfection present in the music or for the purpose of strenuous, active and contemplation in which it is involved.

Pablo Picasso’s, ‘The Three Musicians’ was painted in 1921, and is renowned as one of his greatest works. Here we observe the classic combination of colour and line, where the musicians are lounging about in characteristically jaunty poses with not much care for the world. Picasso uses boisterous colours with blue and yellow particularly prominent and demonstrative. The three figures also contain diverse aspects which are immediately noticeable. The musician playing the guitar (which is coloured yellow) is almost obscured by the one playing the flute. The accordion player who is situated at the back is almost ...

Arthur Miller’s iconic play Death of a Salesman is rife with symbolism, rich characters that welcome in-depth study and debate, relationships between different characters that warrant close examination and themes and motives that range from statements about the American Dream and socioeconomics to the importance of place, feminism, gender roles and familial relationships. One of the most prominent themes in Death of a Salesman is that of betrayal. Arthur Miller thoroughly and effectively examines betrayal and the different forms it can take. Betrayal and abandonment, a form of a betrayal, characterize nearly all of the significant relationships in the play, particularly the ...

Evolution has constantly occurred in the Turkish culture with new things coming up all the time. In a culture with great diversity and heterogeneity, Turkish music faces the pressure to adjust and fit in the lifestyles of the people in the country (Khotani, 2010).

Music is the most relevant beneficiary of the diversifications and changes. The evolution of music traces its roots back to the Islamic influences on the folk music. Evolution took another ...

It was the third concert to have attended during this course. Jazz is a music genre that is of interest to many people. There should be effort to ensure that this interest is maintained by improvising it so that people will still like it. Compared to the last two concerts we went, this concert was presented in a university hall which made people feel casual. The audience was more relaxed and ...

The Wind Ensemble conducted by Greg Miller at the University of Alabama was really an eye opener in every respect. The music on offer was indeed wide ranging and full of modern sounding effects and all this combined together shows that the University of Alabama Wind Ensemble is truly a top notch orchestra. The first work on offer was the Kirkpatrick Fanfare by Andrew Boysen which was composed in 2001. Here one could admire the voluptuousness of the sound of the Alabama Wind Ensemble which demonstrates the wide ranging varieties of this ensemble. Although some of the top brass ...

Music performance by Mozart and Schubert

On 10/22/2011, I attended a music performance. This is therefore a paper outlining my classical reaction about the performance. Three symphony parts made up the performance. These parts are “Symphony No. 5 in B Flat, D. 485,” “Concerto for Clarinet,” and “Le Tombaue de Couperin.” My reactions are therefore, going to be on each of the symphony. Eventually, I will list the pros and cons of each.

Starting with the symphony of “Le Tombaue de Couperin” I realized that its performance was exactly like the description it had been given to it in the program notes. The performance was about a teacher ...
