He composed several concertos for the bassoon, oboe, recorder and flute, as well as the rarer clarinet. Woodwind instruments had become an integral part of Northern European orchestras, but the trend hadn't made it to Italy, where the violin was king. It is partly through Vivaldi's interactions with travellers to Venice and his own travels to Germany and France that led him to explore woodwinds. It is likely that Vivaldi played some of these instruments as well. Vivaldi’s orchestra in the Bassoon concerto consisted of a bassoon, Violin 1 and 2, Viola, Cello, and Bass.
Unlike Byrd, he was known only a composer of church music, composing ‘masses and motets with long melismas, full textures, and cantus-firmus structures.’ (222) Coming after Taverner was the English composer Thomas Tallis, who was said to have taught Byrd. He was also a composer of sacred music, with masses, hymns, and other service music. Composers who had come before Tallis had composed polyphonic works, and Tallis expanded on their ideas. For example, his motet Spem in alium, is for as many as 40 solo voices (Holst, 18). He would eventually work with Byrd at the Chapel Royal under Queen Elizabeth, both sharing the post of organist.
It makes the entire third part of a more complete and more vibrant and layering. Close to the end， different tones of the same music section of the four times repeat，the third part of the band to a climax, and ushered in the end. The next one is Foshay Tower Washington Memorial March, the composer was called "The March King", his music belong Romantic period, his music is full of self-style and personalized. One of program that I'm not really enjoyable is Vesuvius, It's a kind of strange for me.

He later was kicked at the age of seventeen out of the choir because he’s amazing voice had matured and he could no longer sing the higher notes. He tried everything he could to make a living after this event from composing to free-lance musician. At age twenty-nine Haydn entered the Eszterhaza family (a wealthy aristocrat family).

The three pieces that were played were Edvard Grieg’s “Holberg” Suite, Franz Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, and Beethoven’s Overture to “Egmont.” Before I go into any analysis of the performance I will begin by saying this was the best music concert I’ve been to all year. I really liked the three selected works and think that they complemented each other well. The conductor, John finney, was very charismatic and spoke to the audience between the pieces. I found him to be very engaging and I like that he gave us some background on each piece before the orchestra played for us. I have heard all three pieces before, but never from a live orchestra.
I thought they were most similar to a jazz band, but they did things that a lot of different styles don’t do in America. For instance, they had a Steel drum song, a tabla, and the Tuvan throat singer. The most peculiar instrument, I thought, was the drumitar made by future man. At first, I didn’t know what it was; it looked too big to be a keyboard. Adding it all together, it felt like each sound worked together to get this awesome combination of sounds.

Vivaldi was a master of the violin and is widely known as the composer of concertos which is a form of music with a small orchestra and solo lead instrument. He was a prolific composer and is well known for composing over 500 concertos, 46 Operas, 73 sonatas, chamber music, and sacred music. Vivaldi was the first composer to use ritornello form regularly in fast movements, and his use of it became a model for later composers. Vivaldi repeatedly looked for contrasting harmonies, creating new melodies and themes. His main goal was to create a musical piece that was meant to be appreciated by a large population opposed to only a certain group of people.
