Cultures who used these instrument pairs associated genders with them; the "father" was the bigger or more energetic instrument, while the "mother" was the smaller or duller instrument. Musical instruments existed in this form for thousands of years before patterns of three or more tones would evolve in the form of the earliest xylophone. [24] Xylophones originated in the mainland and archipelago of Southeast Asia, eventually spreading to Africa, the Americas, and Europe. [25] Along with xylophones, which ranged from simple sets of three "leg bars" to carefully tuned sets of parallel bars, various cultures developed instruments such as the ground harp, ground zither, musical bow, and jaw
Oftentimes when a composer begins an orchestration the first things determined are the chords that will be used. From these chords the melody is bass line is directly derived, harmonies are developed, and the melody brings itself to life. Within the Clutter family there were four major components, Mr. Clutter, Mrs. Clutter, Nancy, and Kenyan. Granted, a four piece ensemble doesn’t usually make a major symphonic piece, these four people created the symphony that was their lives. That is, until that symphony was ended by Perry Smith and Dick Hickock.
I'll start at the middle: for the sole purpose of wordplay, I'd been planning title this entry after Henry Cow's final studio effort, Western Culture. The first of their studio records to not feature their characteristic sock cover art, the album's composition credits are split solely between organist/saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson and bassoonist Lindsay Cooper. Side A is populated with Hodgkinson's angular, mathematically dissonant works--the structure is imminently logical, but your average pair of ears will find little to recognize harmonically, melodically, or even structurally. Hodgkinson writes like he understands music on a completely intellectual level--intervals and combinations of notes on paper, every choice a deliberate logical decision. Cooper's side B, no less complex, exudes a totally different different energy.
The drums connects to an open resonance chamber without a membrane. There were other drums that were of use other than the huehuetl such as a kettle drum and tortoise and turtle shell drums played by deer antlers or by hand. - Flutes The Mayans made many instruments and another one would be the flute that would be used in many cultures throughout America. These instruments are too old to truly know when they were created during the time. We do know that these flutes were mostly made from wood, bone, reed, or clay which then had a tube from 2 choices.
The band had four main members: Bela Fleck, Jeff Coffin, Victor Wooten, and Roy Wooten. However, they brought in several different instrumentalists for each song. The majority
Just like with stories of the past, the music of Native Americans was passed down by word of mouth, or by teaching an apprentice how to play an instrument. Whether it was the beats of a drum, the notes of a flute, or the singing of a song, the elders of a tribe would teach their successors how to replicate the music just as they had been taught years before. Along with the actual performance of the music, the physical construction of the instruments was passed down from generation to generation (Williams). Some of the instruments of the Native Americans required advanced craftsmanship, for example the turtle shell rattle, which different tribes created differently based on whatever raw materials were abundant in their territories. Rattles are important to the Native American culture because they are a sign of independence and utilize the “three kingdoms”: the animal kingdom for the material used to create the container, the mineral kingdom for the paints or sound and the plant kingdom for the wooden handle of the rattle.
And when someone comes along who’s trying to be real, they don’t know the fuckin’ difference” (Barker and Taylor, 25). Eddie Vedder’s words show how it is essentially impossible for listeners to define authenticity. There is no way for an artist to be completely authentic in all elements of their music. We can see that a musical artist cannot be entirely authentic through looking at the careers and music of Woody Guthrie and Jimmie
Every culture uses music to express their beliefs or feelings. From the early days of slavery, to recent pop culture, hip hop, rock, jazz or techno, music has shaped Americans into what we are today. Music not only gives artists an avenue to express their beliefs, it also gives the listener the feeling that there are people in the world that has the same feelings that they have. Not all music has a meaning or a message. Some music is just that, music; beats of a drum, strums of a guitar, electronic collaborations to make a melody, with no real message.
The aim of this study is to approve or reject the hypothesis being limb length (arm) is equal to 40% of a person’s height. Procedure/Experiment/Materials 1. Materials = Yard Stick, Calculator 2. 13 random subjects selected in Bio Lab 2010-51 3. Standing erect, a measurement was taken from the axillary to the longest finger tip of each subject 4.
Lin Article Critique Part III Whitney Barber Liberty University December 9, 2012 EVALUATING ANALYSIS AND RESULTS When an author reports percentages, it is also important for the underlying number of cases fir each percentage to be reported as well (Pyrczak, 2008). It can be considered misleading if all numbers are not reported. In the beginning of this study, there were forty participants. At the end, there were only fourteen leaving seven in each group. The four-month follow up consisted of only six from the experimental group and four from the controlled group.
