The bassoon and the double bass are both concert pitch instruments, meaning that they are pitched in C. Nonetheless, the tuba is also pitched in C along with F, E flat, and BB flat. However, the bassoon is not pitched an octave lower, but a contrabassoon is, just like some tubas and double basses. The bassoon can go into the tenor range while the bass and the tuba are always in the bass clef. Due to their range, these instruments are usually playing longer notes
Later, the strings came in as an accompanying section along with the guitar playing chords. After the English horn finished the melodic solo, Mr. Williams played the melodic line, which is almost identical to that of the English horn. Mr. Williams’s solo was very melancholic, yet uplifting. Both the soloist and the orchestra were very sensitive to harmonic changes and drama during the movement. The cadenza was very impressive musically and technically.
There are also blues inflections in the vocal and guitar duet where the flat 3rd is emphasised by bending the notes at the beginning of phrases. The use of blues notes are very common in the style due to the heavy blues influence in New Orleans Jazz. Chromaticism is also featured in Duke Ellington’s Koko, again blues notes are used, for example in bar 8 of Nantons trombone solo he uses a fragment of the blues scale making use of the flattened 5th, 3rd and 7th. Another example of Chromaticism in Koko is in the double bass solos where Blanton plays descending chromatic phrases. The use of chromatic notes adds to the mood created by the minor blues chord progression.
The movement begins on a sympathetic note. The brass playing, trumpets, trombones, tubas, and horns all played with excellent projection and fine tuning. I felt a longing to go back to the first movement, although the tragic portions did create suspense, irony, and
It begins with the orchestra playing a dissonant chord to each beat thus creating a crescendo. The orchestra plays eight beats. The beat is kept by the ground bass that carries the harmony and texture of the orchestra. The pointed rhythm is ruled by the cello that plays the same note on every beat corresponding to the ground bass. The second movement is slower, taking into consideration that the soloist plays a legato melody that is accompanied by other stringed instruments.
For example, the song at times changes from a quiet saxophone soli, to a loud shout chorus, to a uniquely created improvised solo. The second track on this album—“Love Theme from Hair”—is my favorite on the CD. I like this song because it is a soft ballad that is simplistically happy. Mike Vax delves into this tune and explores range, melody and emotion as the featured soloist. This song is not a standard or an original, but it holds a special place in my jazz repertoire.
He was a pioneer clarinet maker who was interested in enhancing the range of the clarinet. His first bass clarinet had nine keys and was pitched in B major. Gresner's instrument looked much more like a bassoon than the present day bass clarinet, which has a curved neck and rests on the ground when being played.

As the instrument became more popular and accepted by composers and orchestras, bass clarinets in B, C and A were built. Four more keys were added to the original's nine, including the speaker key which
It was beautiful melodies, the brisk pace of hearty, full of a kind of vitality and vigor up. I could feel the cheerful and joyful of the celebrations. I did enjoy the melody of this song, and I could tell that the when the band played it at the second time, it was different that the first time. At the second time, they ended the piece with a cymbal crash and bass tube horns to make
The invention of the valves on the already utilized natural horn opened the flood gates for progression and expansion in orchestral and compositional uses for the horn. Composers and conductors alike wanted to utilize the horn to its maximum capability but because of the required stopping on the horn to achieve chromatic tones projection was always a problem. With the invention of the valves, horns were able to play lower with greater projection, intonation and ease with modulations because of the added ‘crooks’ being attached to the instrument entirely. The push made in technology with contributions from many inventors ultimately created the modern design and advancements in horn playing today as well as solidified the importance of the horn in the orchestra. The natural horn had a highly developed hand-stopping technique by the late eighteenth century, the horn was still the favorite solo instrument of the period, even though the natural horn had multiple problems when it came to be used melodically.
