... in order to master the complicated music and the improvisational style that they sought to achieve. The first person they recruited was a freshman drummer named Jon “Fish” Fishman. One day, Trey walked by Fish’s room while he was practicing, and asked him to join the band. He agreed but he also played in another band at the time. Fish taught himself how to play the drums by locking himself in his room and trying to copy the sound of bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. When he moved to college, he started to move toward jazz and hardcore. Now, all they needed was a bass player. The three placed flyers all over campus and the first replay was Mi ...
... uglier by the minute, and I kept wondering why half the seats were still empty at 8:00. However, the arena suddenly filled up, and the conductor took the stand approximately 20 minutes later than scheduled. When the concert began, I immediately came to realize how very lucky we were to have these seats. In fact, they were probably the best seats we could possibly have had because close-ups of the performers were projected onto three large screens during the entire concert. The concert began with Overture to Norma, played by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Marcello Rota then stepped down to escort Bocelli, who had been blinded at the age of six, onto t ...
... obviously not far. I don't think I would chose my future over having "fun", if that's what they think they were doing. They worked so hard, and they mess it all up in one day. The articles gives some hints here and there, about this "circus" behavior had maybe a little to do with the bands past experiences. It took them forever to make there song a hit, but now that it's there, all they think is about the past, and how terrible it was. Personally, I think that to blame the future on the past is some- what ridicules. The past is over with, you should respect what you have now, appreciate it. Take pride and dignity not, disrespect and harm. To throw a typewriter ( ...
... hit includes an orchestra that is playing a type of symphony. The string quartets, on the other hand, are quite different. These are instrumental pieces of music for small audiences with one player per part. Included in the string quartet there are the first and second violins, a viola, and a cello. A quartet does not have a conductor like the symphony does, but they didn't need one because they weren't intended to be played for many people. Mozart and Haydn were known for having "jam sessions" in Mozart's apartment. An rarely known fact is that Haydn is the creator of this genre, not Mozart. Sonatas are multi-movement works that are for a solo instrument o ...
... had expanded to the extent of improvisation we ordinarily expect from jazz today. It was the roaring twenties that a group of new tonalities entered the mainstream, fixing the sound and the forms of our popular music for the next thirty years. Louie Armstrong closed the book on the dynastic tradition in New Orleans jazz. The first true virtuoso soloist of jazz, Louie Armstrong was a dazzling improviser, technically, emotionally, and intellectually. Armstrong, often called the “father of jazz,” always spoke with deference, bordering on awe, of his musical roots, and with especial devotion of his mentor Joe Oliver. He changed the format of jazz by bringing t ...
... Russell Gibb, a Detroit radio Disc Jockey, announced that Paul McCartney, a member of the Beatles, had died. He claimed he had received a phone call about it and evidence could be found within their albums. Both other radio stations and the media picked up on the rumor, and it spread quickly. As the word spread, the story also got changed. Two different stories are best known for Paul's death. The first one as stated from a webpage dedicated to the conspiracy goes like this: The story that Paul McCartney was involved in a car accident. Apparently, he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed. The accident occurred at 5 a.m. on a Wednesday morning. ...
... attitude or feelings. For instance when we listen to music, what determines how we classify it? Its usually the tone, either its soft, hard etc. What makes music soft and hard, is the tone in correlation with the manner in which it is presented. For example compare the tones in the instrumental pieces Canyon and Beethoven's 5th symphony. In Canyon, the tone throughout the piece is upbeat and high-strung, very forceful in intensity. Beethoven's symphony number 5 on the other hand is totally the opposite, in which the tone is characterized to be mellow and soft. These contrasting tones serve to identify with the listener. The composers aim to make a piece of ...
... children played at court in Vienna; the Empress Maria Theresa and her husband, Emperor Francis I, received the Mozarts cordially. During a large European concert tour (1763- 66) the Mozart children displayed their talents to audiences in Germany, in Paris, at court in Versailles, and in London (where Wolfgang wrote his first symphonies and was befriended by Johann Christian Bach, whose musical influence on Wolfgang was profound). In Paris, Wolfgang published his first works, four sonatas for clavier with accompanying violin (1764). In 1768 he composed his first opera, La Finta Semplice, for Vienna, but intrigues prevented its performance, and it was first presented ...
... on a guitar looking instrument that ran through speakers. Then they started to play and I was completely blown away. The talent the band displayed was amazing, I was blown away. The music is a unique mixture of many different genres; jazz, rock, R&B and funk, to name a few. Much of the music had no singing and the songs were very long and complicated, involving different parts and many complicated solos. In between songs each musician performed solos on their instruments, which proved the talent, they held on their instruments even more. The bassist was the most impressive, though. He soloed for probably a half an hour doing things that seemed impossible. He ...
... both wished him Happy Birthday and sat down next to him. John thanked them both for the presents as he put them on the table next to his bed. They talked about how James was getting on at school and how John's grand daughter was doing at work. John remembered that he needed to get his lottery ticket, he asked his daughter to get it for him. They joked about it being a waste of money and even if they tried they would not be able to spend that much money. She left James talking to John as she went off to buy the ticket. John told James about the time he used to be a pilot in the RAF James was fascinated by these stories, He wanted to be a pilot too someday. A short wh ...
