They received a Grammy Award in the catergory “Best Chamber Music Performance” for its May 2009 recording Intimate Letters. They gave recorded over thirty recordings with Deutscge Grammophon since 1987. Eight of those have won Grammy Awards. The Emerson String Quartet was taught by David Soyer how to play together and not just follow a leader. He gave lots of helpful advice about staying together. Even though Soyer died his advice is still well used by the quartet today.
Do you like this CD? What is your favorite piece? I like this CD because in all the pieces I can hear the instruments “talking” to one another and they play a wide variety of different types of songs (some are faster and more upbeat while others are peaceful and beautiful.) My favorite piece on this CD is the First Track called Allegro mon troppo by Antonin Dvorak. I like this piece because it has a few different styles (some parts are slower while others are faster and upbeat). In this piece I hear the instruments “talking” to each other more than in some other pieces.
Do you have any other recordings that contain the same music as in

    The musical and film of the Sound of Music is set in Austria in the late 1930s with Europe on the brink of the Second World War.

    The pieces of music from Unit 1 ranged from styles of R&B to symphonic and all of various recordings whether live or in studio. A couple of the pieces had purposes other than being strictly for performance like a tutorial or added content for a cartoon show.

    Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude was composed during the romantic period (1820-1900) and completed in 1839. During the romantic period, most composers portrayed feelings and nature in their work. In addition, they used a wide range of dynamics with lots of sudden changes, using sforzandos and accents, to dramatize their music. The music was more expressive using extra instructions as well as tempo markings like dolce (sweetly) or it could change speeds many times. The use of extra notes was common and made romantic pieces more interesting and created dissonance to help portray emotions. The timbre of the pieces increased as more woodwind and…

    I decided to pick two tools that seem very helpful for songwriters to write music. The first one is Hookpad. Hookpad has many useful tools for a songwriter to write their music. This is a great program for people who are beginners in songwriting. Even if you don’t know how to read or write music, this program can teach you little bit of music theory and how some notes can go well with other. The program gives you the ability to make you melody with just notes or chords, but also guides you if the chords or notes fit well in the pieces. Also, if your feeling stuck it helps you what cord/note goes well next. To top it off, once your done making your pieces, the program could convert you music into a music sheet, guitar sheet, or you had make…

    Charles Schmid, the serial killer that Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? was based on, would try to look like Elvis Presley to lure girls to him. Music is a motif that shows up in the story multiple times. Joyce Carol Oates uses music to show Connie’s comfort, emotion, and the bait that lured Connie to Arnold. First of all, Oates uses it to show when Connie feels comfortable. For example, “... the music was always in the background, like music at a church service, it was something to depend on.”…

    On Sunday April 7 , 2013 I attended the Junior Recital for Michelle Ellison (soprano) and Rachel Stanton (piano) at Oberlin College & Conservatory. Coming to my second show at Oberlin College I really didn’t know what to expect this time around. On this nice day at Oberlin College I observed many students outside playing their instruments and various groups outside singing in circles enjoying the weather. I could tell that these students were very passionate about music. Inside of the conservatory building the recital was held inside of the Kulas Recital Hall. This was my first time entering a room that was made specifically for musical recitals. The hall wasn’t too big but it was large enough to fit a nice sized crowd in a narrow room.…

    My initial execution of the incomplete measure was poor. I fixed the incomplete measure by giving a clearer and more appropriate prep. I do not think the loop I conducted in the prep was effective though. I should have used the simple patter for beat 3 and 4 for the incomplete measure. My release fermati went smoothly and they were clear enough for the ensemble to follow. My first release fermata was much clearer than the second. I the first fermata, I showed a motion and direction in the fermata giving life to the sound. In the second fermata, I gave very little motion causing my cutoff to look frantic and uncharacteristic. My release of phrases and the transition between them is good with the exception of one phrase. I wanted to give and three beats of press and then a conducted beat 4 in a measure, however I did not do a good job of implying time in my press causing it to look like a bad fluctuation in time.…

    Music is a big part of people’s lives and it can be accessed so easily. People can hear music anywhere they go on their phones. Many people like to listen to music whenever they are doing other tasks. Others feel that the music distracts them from the work they are performing. In my opinion, I do not like listening to music when I am working on certain tasks that require thinking or concentration because do not concentration. I love listening to music in my free time. If there is music on while I am doing a task, then I am more likely to be paying attention to the music than concentrating on the task.

    Throughout the semester we have been reading, observing and listening to music and music analysis’s. Articles gave examples and broke down how to really look over music and multimedia to get the answers we were looking for. Then in class we would attempt to do the same things the author of the articles did. Those things consisted of leitmotif or themes, when there is music or lack of music, what type of music, the instruments, and what emotions it evoked. In class we started off shaky but with practice we have come a long way. With this article I am going to display what I have learned in the form the authors I read about used. The first time I read about breaking down an article was in the (Cohen 2013) article. She used a scene from Avatar…

    When you hear the word music, what do you think of it? Christians, the world, and I all think of it differently. The world determines what music is good and what music is bad by what others think about it. Some people might think that songs with swear words are good to listen to, while others have no limitation. However, Christians and I have a different view of music. 1 Samuel 16: 23 tells us that we should listen to songA that talk about God, and songs that use appropriate words because it could make the evil spirit leave us. Also, Psalm 95:1 tells me that I should never listen to inappropriate songs because they could influence me and they are not words that God would want to hear.…
