He was playing piano concertos at the age of eight. Chopin became a successful composer, teacher and performer in Vienna and Paris. His piano music includes Polish folk music and dances such as the mazurka and polonaise, and reflects his love of his homeland. Chopin composed Prelude Number 15 whilst isolated in a monastery in Vallderosa in Spain because he had tuberculosis, an extremely infectious disease at the time. He died about a year later in Paris at the age of 39.
Jazz is a musical genre that has for a very long time captivated its audience. Jazz music can make someone dance, indulge the moods of its listener, or just make you think. Jazz music can sound simple and straight forward, but there are many structures, and freedoms which make up jazz music. Jazz has structures, by which its musicians are given a "guide" to follow. Jazz also has freedoms, which allow the jazz musicians to expand, and alter the music.
It was something I could see being played on a peaceful night, as it's something I could enjoy and relax to. 4.) Title - Road Runner Artist - Bo Diddley Composer - Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, Jerome Green, Ellas Mcdaniel Musical Traits - Not a very deep vocalist, the music was very up-tempo and he had somewhat of normal-high scream to his music, but sounded very well. The music was something that you could dance and swing around to at a pretty fast pace, as he was jamming on his guitar playing notes the entire time. Topic of Lyrics - The topic of this song is something that would go along with a party or dancing type of social event.
Music being played live should always be appreciated because the future is going downhill as far as appreciating true and live music. New and upcoming music is used by a lot of vocoders and synthesizers and are getting away from the natural and basis of music. As an ensemble, everything was great and I truly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be joining for the Fourth annual evening of Jazz to witness the smooth sounds of this
A Day of Jazz in the park Observation Essay 7/23/13 Over the weekend I went to the 18 annual Jazz Fest West concert at Bonelli Park in San Dimas. We parked our cars at the Pomona Fairplex and transported by charter buses to the venue. When we arrived at the park the whole east shore side of the park was gated off for the venue. We traded our paper tickets for wristbands to get in the park. I’m excited about the concert because this will be my first time seeing Fantasia in concert live.
The second ensemble and the first ensemble were similar in style, but the second ensemble used considerably less solos and played with an electric guitarist. Some of the more engaging solos were those with the drum, guitar, or piano. One of the most entertaining songs played by this group was a song where they used dueling saxophones which I found very unique having never seen this style of big sound music before.

Having never experienced a jazz concert before I came into the Grusin Music Hall with a blank slate and little to no expectations.
Next was Eddie Perfect, who received quite a lot of applause upon entering the stage. He was young, charming and had a very nice rich quality to his voice, as well as a great range. But what specifically reminded me very much of a young Michael Buble was his style. “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories” are my favorite out of all the song at that night. Jazz music sound soft and mellow as playing on however like all music, it tells a story and here are the stories of “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories”.
After intermission, the students from the Magnet School played eleven short songs under the direction of their instructors Rebecca Markowski and Jennifer Hutchison, along with the accompaniment of the Delta Orchestra musicians. The performances were very enjoyable to me. The Delta Symphony opened with “Olympic Fanfare and Theme” by John Williams. I enjoyed this song because it was recognizable to me and I was surprised by this because I had not thought that I would recognize any songs at this concert. This song was very loud and powerful.
Jazz & Pop Joshua Stedman On Sunday my friend Laura accompanied me to the Van Dyke Cafe in Miami Beach. We went at around 8:30 or so. I couldn't attend earlier because I had some family issues to resolve. I was expecting the ambient to be somewhat serious. I turned out that the mostly everyone that attended the Van Dyke looked like they were passionate about music, and seemed pretty chill and relaxed.
The solos were amazing. In this music the solos were trumpets and saxophones. The trumpets help the music to be shouting for spirits of the music. The saxophones’
