On Sunday, December 4th I attended a jazz combination concert in the Daniel Recital Hall. This recital consisted of 4 different performing groups: the Strickland Quintet, Masanotti Quintet, Harville Quartet, and Snow Quintet. All the groups played a specific style of jazz, using relatively the same instruments. These instruments consisted of a tenor saxophone, piano, guitar, drums, and bass. While each group showed differences in musical style, they all displayed great skill and magnificence in their compositions.
The music became sort of a chamber style, since the Prince himself played in a chamber group. Writers are not completely sure when the Suite No. 3 was written. Estimates range from 1722 to 1731, but many believe they were written closer to 1722. This suite, part of a series of four “overtures” (as Bach called them) represent experimenting by Bach, since they resemble a French style music used by Italian-born composer Jean-Baptiste Lully.
These selections were all romantic styles of music. The first performance was Six Epigraphes Antiques a piano duo. The pianist performances were one of great form and different scales. When the music started I immediately started thinking of a man and woman having a conversation. This conversation was represented in music, told a story of falling in love, being hurt, and one of making up.
Emmaneul Mensah Caitlin O’Neil Music 150 3 – 31 – 2010 Midsemester Paper The performance by Lowell Lieberman Concerto for Clarinet, orchestra, and the Beethoven Emperor Concerto by Jon Nakamatsu, piano soloist was quite a spectacular performance. Both performances were very entertaining and professional as well. In the commencement of the show, I was anticipating seeing some kind of unexciting show, but as the show progressed, I found it to be very interesting through their interaction with the audience. I became very attentive to each performance they displaced and often found myself drawn in by their performance. Both musical performers incorporated unique musical elements such as melody, harmony rhythm to mention a few.
Her first album for the label, Blossom Dearie Sings, was followed by a two-record set entitled My New Celebrity Is You, which contained eight of her own compositions. The album's title song was especially written for her by Johnny Mercer, and is said to be the last piece he wrote before his death in 1976. During the 70s, Dearie performed at Carnegie Hall with former Count Basie blues singer Joe Williams and jazz vocalist Anita O'Day in a show called The Jazz Singers. In 1981 Blossom appeared with Dave Frishberg for three weeks at Michael's Pub in Manhattan. Frishberg, besides being a songwriter, also sang and played the piano, and Dearie frequently performed his songs, such as “Peel Me A Grape”, “I'm Hip” and “My Attorney Bernie”.
Introductions partis played with piano and then with xylophone. It starts off with four bar just about right rhythm. The first part, which is chorus with 32-bar form (A1 and A2), starts off slowly with the entire band without making the song boring. Right after the band plays the first chorus and interlude. I like the xylophone part because it felt like it was one part of the song.
Music Composition and Composer Paper Mary Wilson ARTS/340 July 29, 2014 Instructor Marva Ballard-Smoot Music Composition and Composer Paper Beethoven, Mozart, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder are musical artist I enjoy listening too. Each of these artists are genius in their own right. I enjoy the piano, horns and violins that can be heard through their style of music. Each composer have their own brand of uniqueness, harmony, tone colors, textures and rhythm that is reflective in music. In Beethoven, Ninth Symphony, in the first movement it starts out slow, soft and low and then there is second movement which has such an outburst of energy and dramatic tone.

As a requirement for this course, I was given the responsibility to attend a concert during the semester that was relevant to all other coursework learned. I logged on to the Cleveland Classical website and found a performance that would be held on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. in the Cirigliano Studio Theatre at Lorain County Community College.

In the sonata form, how can we determine the principle subject? The principle subject consists of a simple melody with a string bass being echoed from the wind 3. How is the melody of the second subject different from the first? The first melody opens quietly with lyrical cello theme on piano which then changes into a series of elaborate transformations. The second movement has a melancholy theme on the piano separated by fast happy interludes.
