part: Barbara Allen, England, Scotland and Ireland all have parts in this folk song. This part starts at a Eb major and ends as a Bb major.

often been described as one of America's original art forms and has encircled itself with elements detached from alternative music genres. The origins of Jazz have been predominantly influenced by the socio-cultural temperament in New Orleans at that time. The early part of the 19th Century saw New Orleans become a self-governing city and state. The population of New Orleans began to increase substantially with an influx of immigrants including Americans, Africans and French with immigrants from the

In the twenties, it appears in the literary life of the United States some of the most renowned writers in fiction, drama and poetry. These writers were known as the “Lost Generation”, a generation whose name rises up as a consequence of leaving their homeland and settle a new life in Europe, and due to the attitude they assumed against wealth, opulence and materialism of the society, after the World War I and until the crack of 29. Among them are John Dos Passos,William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway

Your Own BackYard by Billie Holiday can be described as a moderate to medium speed. The song is not extremely slow or fast, it is just in the middle. This jazz song is fast enough for it to be upbeat, but slow enough to allow the vocals to take its time and have range. Compared to “Flying Home” by Ella Fitzgerald, this song is a lot slower and less fierce. What are the lyrics about? The lyrics are very cheerful and positive. Its overall message is that one can find happiness in their daily lives

It seems as though jealousy and hypocrisy have been intertwined with parts of the church since it was established. Texas Tech University’s production of Carlisle Floyd’s opera Susannah captures a situation in which a church community makes envious assumptions of an innocent girl and ruin not only her identity but her sense of self. I attended the opera’s opening night on Friday, March 31, 2017, at the Allen Theatre in the Student Union where Chong Wang brilliantly played the part of Susannah. As

angry and upset all at the same time for not being able to support her sister before she died. The composer also used a minor key, to give an atmosphere where the mood is sort of bitter, and desperate. It was really fun to try a different key and try the new notes and sounds, and explore the expression that a single note can change how the whole phrase sounds like. It was further interesting to play this piece because of experiencing new time signatures and key signatures. I really enjoyed playing and

My song, Yours or Mine, is a relatively simple song, with a common 4/4 time signature and a tempo around 100 bpm. It starts with an eight-bar instrumental introduction before moving into the actual song, which consists of three verses. Given this layout, the song most nearly fits into the simple verse form. The basic rhythm, 1, &, &, 3, 4, which permeates the song, is played over the first three bars in the phrase, as well as the first note in the fourth bar. Following this first note, there is silence

Rubenstein’s interpretation of the Mazurka, we get a more cohesive journey than other comparable recordings, namely Vladimir Horowitz. This is due to the general sense of pulse that continues throughout the piece, yet is still ebbs and flows. When he takes time to bring attention to a specific chord, note, or resolution, it builds anticipation for the listener. In the symmetrical minor third progression, he speeds up as he reaches the pinnacle of the passage which propels not only the rhythm, but the harmony

A Masterpiece by Mahler: Symphonie No.9 Music masterpieces should be interpreted with historical backgrounds, as they could demonstrate experience of individuals. As for Gustav Mahler, there were clues that he saw Symphonie No.9 as adieus to the world. Ub this four-movement work, he informs the world of his idea around death that it is inevitable but it cannot overpower everything. The first movement expresses a mixed feeling between despair of impending death death and fantasizing about the afterlife

passages in Variation III. Bars 13-16 are reiterations of bars 1-2 with acciaccaturas added to the offbeat quavers in bars 15-16. Bar 17 introduces another sudden change from piano to forte and semiquaver arpeggiations in both hands. In the second time bar, the rising A major scale, also found in bar 9, propels the coda. The coda swiftly introduces new material: from beat three of bar 20 there is a decorated descending scalic motion from E to B in the melody line which is afterwards restated in semiquavers

This piece is a 9/8 time signature and is in the key of D-flat major and C-sharp minor between measures thirty-eight to forty-three. The key also never modulates away from these keys. The structure of this piece is in ternary form with a coda. It can be interpreted that section A consists of measures from one to fourteen or on to twenty-six. Either way is a possibility however I believe that the first section goes on to measure twenty-six and the measures from fifteen and twenty-six serve more as

Bach. The French Suits consists of six suits of varying lengths. The fifth suit (no. 5) is the one that contains this piece, the Gavotte (IMSLP). It is written in G major but moves to a couple different key areas throughout the piece. It is in cut time has two distinct sections which are both repeated. For most of these reasons, I have concluded that this piece is structured in balanced binary form. A piece, or parts of pieces, can be written in binary or ternary forms. Along with that, they can

(especially the women) which encourage the fervor with which he pursues his desires. Due to the youth of the character it can be inferred that Mozart wrote the accompaniment to his Arietta to sound simplistic and almost lullaby-like. Set in two-four time the rhythmic content remains relatively simplistic and static in its delineation of the beat. The same rhythmic phrasing is recycled throughout the piece being chunked predominately in four bar phrases (see examples one and two). The song is the sexual

very successful piece. It is said that Caroline Unger, one of the vocal soloists, had to turn Beethoven around at the end of the piece because he could not hear the applause himself. “The whole audience acclaimed him through standing ovations five times; there were handkerchiefs in the air, hats, raised hands, so that Beethoven, who could not hear the applause, could at least see the ovation gestures”(Symphony, 2015). The applause had lasted considerably longer than ten minutes due to the fact that

pattern syncoped ritme, trill, ostinato demisemiquavers. a. Introduction The music begins with a two‐bar introduction which produced by low‐pitched open fifths and added note harmonies. Low pitched open fifths as an opening. b. A Section The key signature of five sharps suggests B major or G♯ minor but neither key is properly established. Pentatonic‐style melody begins in m.3 and is then used as an ostinato. This melody contains tetratonic – C♯, D♯, F♯ and G♯. The harmonies change subtly, with the

The fourth movement of Mahler’s ninth symphony has the key signature of D-flat, establishing a dark tone and ominous mood. It is structured in a five-part rondo, ABACA, with a coda. At the first A section, the violins play a descending melody, which is considered the molto adagio melody. Accompanying the molto adagio melody is a ground bass played by the celli and double basses. This ground bass is repeated a number of times and is very important to the structural development of this movement: described

The word “ballet” brings to mind words such as “grace” or “beauty” when heard by many people. The definition itself states that it is a form of dance that uses precise steps and light, graceful motions. This definition was in the minds of those who attended the Théâtre des Champs-Élysèes in May 1913, but rather they were greeted with the complete opposite. When Igor Stravinsky’s ballet Rite of Spring opened, the audience was greeted with swift, chaotic music that quickly became a whirlwind of sound

As you can see, most of the notes of the scale are harmonized as the root of a triad, the exceptions being that the scale degrees that are members of the tonic triad (1, 3, and 5) or the dominant triad (5, 7, and 2) tend to be harmonized as either a tonic or dominant chord, even when the result is an inverted chord. We can also create a chromatic “rule of the octave progression, in which each of the twelve chromatic pitches is harmonized in a way that makes the most functional sense in terms of

“Is there a choice” (Stoppard 43)? Based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Stoppard’s tragicomedy, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, expands on the existential queries of two naive minor characters from Hamlet. In the opening act of Stoppard’s play, the pair are wandering aimlessly through a forest until they encounter an unusual group of travelling actors, known as the Tragedians. Led by an ominous character named the Player, the Tragedians reenact various scenarios for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
