Roy Harris’s Symphony No. 3 contains one movement but is identified in five sections; Tragic, Lyric, Pastoral, Fugue – Dramatic, and Dramatic-Tragic, according to allmusic.com. The duration of the piece is about 17 minutes and 12 seconds long. The orchestra starts out with violins from the Strings group of instruments creating a soft harmony and a lower pitch, this is called the “Tragic” section of this musical piece. The next section is called “Lyric”, in the beginning of the section you can begin to hear some of the Brass instruments join in with the violins and creates a broad melody.

This piece was composed in 1803. This concerto featured a trumpet as the soloing instrument. It was very apparent that the trumpet player was very skilled. Compared to the third piece, the trumpet played over the orchestra as they laid down an undertone for the melody. This piece was great overall.

Adventure, mystery, and magic all go hand-in-hand when it comes to the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. The books were adapted into films starting in 2001. The first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was directed by Chris Columbus. The story of Harry Potter is magical as is however; the movie needed a little extra magic. This extra magic needed to be added through music. Director Chris Columbus chose John Williams to compose the music for a promotional reel (John Williams). After Columbus heard the song for the promotional reel he knew they had to have Williams compose the entire movie (John Williams). Williams created an entire score for the movie and called it “The Harry Potter Suite.” “The Harry Potter Suite” has

o compose music is to place each tone into a time of rhythmical relationship with every other tone. William Grant Still’s African American Symphony combines a symphony with blues and is a symphonic piece for full orchestra. This piece tells more of a story than you might think. His childhood is involved because he was taught at a young age about blues and he also was exposed to different musical types at a young age, which led to him creating this piece of music.

The author of this argument claims that the government of Grandview city should stop funding the Grandview Symphony due to the recently increased fund and double attendance. However, several questions need answering to evaluate the claim.

Since the Baroque era, the concerto has played a vital role in the music world. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a concerto is “a composition for one or more soloists and orchestra with three contrasting movements.” There are two main types: the concerto grosso and the classical concerto; both will be discussed later. While the term concerto is relatively easy to understand in context, when put into use the term becomes more complicated to define.

Being a clarinetist himself, this concerto was not commissioned by anyone and the composer wrote it shortly after he had a car accident that ended his clarinet career.

Ralph Vaughan Williams is known as one of the most influential composers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It has been stated that, “Hardly a musical genre was untouched or failed to be enriched by his work…”(Connock). Although he is known for his symphonies and other works, there is much more to Williams’ life and legacy than is written in the lines of his Sea Symphony.

Composers in the 19th century had trouble writing for the tuba. The instrument, being new, seemed to only offer the parallel role of the string bass in the brass section. However, some composers attempted to experiment with the unique range and timbre of the instrument. Berlioz was highly fascinated with the tuba and wrote virtuosic solo in the high range of the instrument in his Hungarian March. Other instances of orchestral excerpts that employed non-cliche tuba writing include Gustav Mahler 's Symphony No. 1, Sergei Prokofiev 's Symphony No. 5, and Richard Wagner 's Die Meistersinger. Despite the integration of tuba in melodic lines in the orchestra, no sign of a prominent tuba solo came until the mid-1950s.

In my Composer Project, The Walton Viola Concerto, I faced many trials and tribulations trying to find reasonable sources to use for the paper. One of the problems I had was finding relevant enough articles that were geared towards his Viola Concerto, but when I found some I had to worry about finding sources that didn't seem like they similar to the previous ones I found. For this, I used many different resources, ranging from books, periodicals, journals, magazines and papers found in the Oberlin Conservatory library to information found in the databases on the school’s website.

The analysis of the examples discussed above may leave ample room for further discussion due to the complex nature of the subject and the analytical methods applied. Nonetheless, when these analyses are combined and observed within the context of the cultural associations embedded in the structure of the piece, they contribute to shape an image in accordance to the composer’s own criticism. From this perspective, to classify the Sinfonia merely as a “musical collage” would ultimately deny its true identity: to establish a personal narrative about music history by the examination, commentary, and extension upon the scherzo of Gustav Mahler’s 2nd Symphony. Although the composer utilizes post-modern quotation techniques, the borrowed voices of

The desire to create a highly virtuosic solo clarinet part was inspired by the artistry of the great Jazz clarinetist, Artie Shaw. The famous clarinetist who predominantly performed in the mid of the 20th Century,
