This has been made possible thanks to good music, excellent actors and an unpredictable story. While watching the movie Casablanca, I really enjoyed the different types of music. The music was nice because it shows all kinds of languages and sounds. For example, in one of the flashback scenes in Paris, Rick and Ilsa dance to Rhythm of Perfidia by the Mexican composer Alberto Domínguez. Also another scene from the movie, which was characterized by music and that definitely impressed me, was when Laszlo begins singing followed by many people, La Marsellesa, the French national anthem, even before the occupation of the country.
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 third piece in my opinion was the most unique of all. This piece was very supple and had a relaxed feeling to it. A violin solo began the piece, then the piano joined in and they played together. The initial tempo was slow, but in the middle of the piece it sped up, almost seemed like chaos, but slowed again to its first tempo. This song
I enjoyed listening to them and not being startled every 30 seconds by the drums pounding in or the horns suddenly sounding out of no where. In this sense, I very much enjoyed listening to this orchestra in a different way then I enjoyed the other musical performances we went to see. When Joshua Bell came out to do his solo, it was actually very funny because he completely changed the mood of the night by playing “Yankee Doodle” on his violin. The whole mood
The piece In the Hall of the Mountain King has a very familiar melody, so it was very enjoyable to listen to. By starting off with a low bassoon timbre, the scene was set very well. The mood of an eerie, spooky night was set well with the low register notes. As the piece goes on the melody is apparent throughout, but the tempo speeds up. By speeding up the tempo and adding more instruments every time the melody is played, the composer is able to depict the increased fear of the “character” in the “story” portrayed through the piece.
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.
Mr. Williams started out the first movement witth the rasgueado technique. After a few measures, the orchestra joined in. There are some meter changes between 6/8 and 3/4, which Mr. Williams and the orchestra could execute smoothly with great charm. Moreover, Mr. Williams also carried out the fast challenging scale with unparalleled precision – not even one mistake was heard. Although guitar is a soft-sounding instrument, with help of amplification, the balance between the orchestra and the soloist was fantastic.
I will begin with my absolute favorite composer out of the three, that being Charles Ives. I am so grateful to have picked him as one of the three composers for this essay. I decided to listen to a phenomenal musical piece by him titled Central Park in the Dark. As I write this paper, I am enjoying this very song on loop. The first 6:40 minutes of the song have a very dark overtone and overall sense of forebodingness to it.
Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky wrote many pieces of music but found his love in soft classical pieces. Although he lived a life that was not always classical, such as his homosexuality and his ill-fated marriage, he did make classical music come to life. The 1812 Overture was not his favorite piece but it is one of the most famous works that is associated with him. In his life, the elements, and the meaning of the piece, the listener can get a better insight of how Tchaikovsky came to get his fame. Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky was a brilliant composer, composing such pieces as Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and 1812 Overture.
