The Negro Speaks of Rivers, being Hughes’ earliest work, is indicative of the themes that run through much of Hughes’ work. Hughes use of black pride is present; he writes, “I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young./ I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep./ I looked upon the Nile and raised pyramids above it./ I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln/ went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy/ bosom turn all golden in the sunset” (Hughes, 23).…

a story from his undergrad days. He was a music major and remembers a fellow student—a trumpet player—who was apparently an amazing musician. He was known to practice hour upon hour every single day. It seemed like he was in the practice rooms working hard during every spare moment of his day. One day my friend and some other students were hanging out in a common area near the practice rooms when this trumpet player walked through. “Man, I’d give my right arm to play as well as he does,” one…

louder sound over all and its use of crescendos that brought a sound of power to the ensemble. Another interesting thing I heard in this song was the use of slight dissonance between the trumpets on some of their chords. This gave a wild feel to the song, but it still maintained its smooth demeanor. The trumpet solo in this song was also impressive. The soloist had nice tone and his note accuracy was fairly good, but one of the only problem I had with the solo was that it was a little hard to…

Like the trumpet, the trombone is thought about a round birthed tool given that it has comprehensive parts of tubes, mainly in the slide part, that are of constant dimension. Tone trombones generally have actually a birthed of 0.450" (little birthed) to 0.547" (big or instrumental birthed) after the leadpipe as well as via the slide. The layout of these tapers impacts the modulation of the tool. As with various other metal tools, noise is generated by blowing air via pursed lips generating a…

On Monday evening, September 21, 2015, I had the pleasure of watching University Jazz Combos. The performance was held at the University of Louisville School Of Music in the Bird Recital Hall. These three combos consisted of the Mark Turner Combo directed by Tyrone Wheeler, Illinois Jacquet Combo directed by Ansyn Banks, and Michael Brecker Combo also directed by Ansyn Banks. I wasn’t for sure what to expect when coming to this concert. Different from the other jazz performance I attended, this…

playing the tuba for the Barlow band. The journey first started my freshman year of high school. I was playing the trumpet at the time. The band was preparing for the upcoming winter concert. The band director, Mr. Nickolas, realized that that band needed more low brass which consisted of tubas and baritones. Mr. Nickolas and the previous band director, Mr. Bolton, called the trumpets into the auditorium. He told us the dilemma that he had and asked us whether any of us wanted to switch…

Cameron Davidson Associate Professor Karen Werner Music of America 28 September 2015 Paper #1: R. Carlos Nakai and Native American Music The field of Native American music is an interesting one. For myself, I have never heard much Native American music, but I have seen the rituals and dances that they perform in movies, most of them in history classes in my past. There is one person that I had never heard of before taking Music of America. That man is R. Carlos Nakai. He relates to the field…

There are 3 sorts of Wind tools on our internet site. When it comes to Trumpet, a trumpet is a musical instruments. It is the highest register in the brass family members. Trumpets are among the earliest music tools, going back to at the very least 1500 BC. They are played by blowing air through closed lips, producing a "buzzing" noise that starts a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the tool. Since the late 15th century they have mostly been constructed of metal tubing, usually…

not like one you would see in a symphony. It was a more informal setting, jazz is a more relaxing and casual form of music, unlike other type of music that gives off a more formal atmosphere. There was a quartet and they used instrument like the trumpets, horns, I believe that I saw a bass, and and a cello. When they began to play they did have their opening remarks about the pieces that they were going to play and all that, providing some background information. This performance would be put…
