...Gideon’S Trumpe Film The movie “Gideon’s trumpet” tells the story of Clarence Earl Gideon, shows how he was fighting for the right to have publicly funded legal counsel for the needy. This man was of an average intelligence, a four-time loser without a financial support, but very stubborn about what he was doing.

...five trumpet players, to the right side there was five saxophone players and in the front of all of the brass players there was a pianist and a bass guitarist. The drums and percussion instruments like the tambourine were used in selected songs during the concert. During the jazz ensembles performance they played six different songs. They played Acha by Bob Mintzer, And another thing by Tom Garling, Boppin to P-Town by Doug Stone, Bumps by Ladd McIntosh, Doozy by Benny Carter and Extensions by Patty Darling. Acha was played as a tribute to Bob who is a jazz artist who had come and played at Columbia Basin College in previous years. In his song there were some solos from the trombone and saxophone. I could hear some syncopation coming from the guitar and the song had more of a slow tempo mood. And another thing by Tom Garling used a piano, drum kit, five saxophones, five trumpets, four trombones, string bass and a congo drum. It used an AABA musical form. The song had a medium slow tempo to it and it had a 4/4 meter throughout. In the song there was improvisation from the drums, trumpets and saxophones. I got a free jazz feel from the song because it had some structure but it didn’t have the same melody throughout and not enough structure to exist. Throughout the whole song and not all the instruments were playing the same notes at the same time. Boppin’ to P-Town had a medium tempo to it and it used some syncopation. Bumps by Ladd McIntosh had solos from the trumpet and...

...Minh Vuong MUSIC 104-01 Concert review #1 Kletz Coffeehouse Band Performance On September 19th this year, I experienced the best student band concert I have ever seen. That day, some of my friends asked me if I want to go with them to Kletz at 9 for a little coffee and some music. It was a Thursday night and I still have tons of unfinished homework, but for some reason I still decided to go with them. There were a lot of people there, and all of them were doing homework. After 5 minutes, I’ve already wanted to go back to my room. However after that, a guy introduced the band that is going to play for tonight and I decided to stay for just one song. For some odd reason I don’t remember the band’s name, maybe because what memorable is about their music and not their name. So from now I will call them “Good music but forgettable name” or “GMBFN” for short. Just like a normal student band, they weren’t dressed up or used any props. They just wore their normal, casual clothes that they might wear in class that morning. The first song they were playing is pretty slow and the genre was alternative rock. At first I tried to listen to the words to find out if I knew that song, and then I realized it was an original song, their original song. It was pretty neat for a band to play its own song although that first song was a little bit uncreative and plain. So I stayed for the second song to give GMBFN a second chance, this time it was another original song. It was a lot better than...

Introduction / response / statement of over-all effect Upon first hearing this piece, I was completely uplifted in mood. The sharp and fast paced strings instruments gave off a cheery and lively vibe that resonated very well with me. When I first heard this piece, it reminded me of weddings, both ones I’ve attended and seen in movies. It also invoked images of a regal castle or kingdom. The common thread between those two images is the sacred or regal feeling involved in both, cheery, yet with a serious underlying feeling. The horns in the background also remind me of a kingly or royal vista because they have a sound so similar to the bugles played in the courts. The more subdued middle section of this piece altered the mood, but not completely. It was still the same friendly tone and cheer, just softer and less distinguishable. It was the calm in between the bouts of revelry insinuated by the first and last section of this piece. The transition from the soft, calming sounds back to the fast-paced...

...military assemblage Major Alfred Dreyfus, wearing the full uniform of his rank, today received the cross of Chevalier of , the- Legion of Honor. The ceremony, which occurred in the courtyard of the military school, was rendered doubly impressive by being held on the very spot where the buttons and gold lace were stripped on his uniform and his sword broken twelve years ago. The courtyard, from which was rigorously excluded, as the ceremony was purely official, was encircled by two batteries of the Fourteenth artillery, commanded by Col. Bob, who made the recent discoveries at the war office leading to the rehearing of the case against Dreyfus and his acquittal. Gen. Zodd, accompanied. By a number of army officers, entered the circle with trumpets and drums sounding. The general attached the decoration to Major. Dreyfus' breast and felicitated him on his well-earned honor. The ceremony was over in five minutes, the general, Major. Dreyfus and the army officials retiring amid the dipping of flags and a roll of drums. The decoration of the major assumed the aspect of a notable demonstration. His brother officers, who were prominent figures in various stages of the controversy, were among the spectators, and outside the circle of troops stood Lady Dreyfus and the little son of Dreyfus. Trumpeters in the courtyard sounded four calls announcing the ceremony. Major Dreyfus took up a position at the head of the two batteries of artillery by the Fide of Colonel Bob, while General Zodd,...

...Manufacturers: The trumpet is a very well-known musical instrument that dates back to as early as 1500 BC and was used and found all over the world for centuries. During that time trumpets were made out of metal. However, it was in the great King Tut’s grave in Egypt in which there were found to be both silver and bronze trumpets as well. During the early days with Israelites and Romans used trumpets for religious purposes as well as magical purposes in which they felt that with the use of the trumpet they could reach the goal of warding off evil spirits. In other parts of the world they began to discover the one or two toned trumpets; when it came to these trumpets they were used for military purposes to proclaim royal decrees as well as...

...Mitchell Burton, Ken Jarrett HUM 2510 AB Professor Gigler December 6, 2012 Brass Instruments The brass family has a variety of instruments that have the ability to cover a wide range of sounds. Brass instruments have changed greatly since the beginning of time. Throughout history, the manufacturing of brass instruments has become more complex by using different materials, dimensions, and including valves. Compositions have been composed to show off the capabilities of brass instruments through concertos and solos. With that being said, famous musicians have created a reputation for their musical talents by playing instruments in the brass family. The sacbut and piccolo trumpet are two instruments included in the brass family and will be focused on due to their unique qualities. The brass family is a unique group of instruments that has helped change the compositions of music throughout history. History of Brass Instruments Before the history of brass can be described, people have to understand what a brass instrument entails, “a brass instrument is defined as an “aerophone,” which means it is an instrument where the musician must blow air into the instrument. The musician produces the tone by buzzing the lips into what is generally a cup-shaped mouthpiece. It doesn’t mean that the instrument is necessarily made of brass, since instruments that are made of other metals, wood, horn, or even animal bone are included in the family of brass instruments.” (Wilken)...

...The performance I went to at Arts Fest was the Alliance Brass Quintet. I was able to get three of their names. Their French horn player, Kelly Langeveir, started on the trumpet, and switched to the French horn so that she could be in a higher chair placement. Mary Linguini, who was a trumpet player, grew up in Chicago, and started trumpet in 4th grade. William, who played the euphonium was born in Louisiana, and teaches music as a private lesson teacher. There was one more man, who was large, and another woman, who both did not introduce themselves. All of their music sounded amazing, and it was all in sync. The combination of the trombone, trumpets, euphonium, and French horn gave a connected and grand feel to the music. One of the most important things that I learned from the performance was how nice the brass instruments could sound. I don’t usually hear instruments sound that nice, like in our band it is not usually tuned and you hear lots of imperfections. The way they played it sounded perfect. Another thing I learned was that German Opera music sound’s melodious and pleasant, not loud and ear-shattering like I thought it would be when they announced it. I didn’t even know you could play opera on instruments, I thought it was something you did with your voice, and singing. I also learned that a coronet is a song which sounds very royal, it sounded as if I was walking in a castle, at a ball or a formal party. I had many favorite parts to this performance. Overall, I...

...player, drummer, bassist, tenor sax, and trombone and trumpet player. The group as a whole performed very strongly, their sense of timing and teamwork brought the set together. However, their individual playing abilities were far below their organizational skills and caused the sound quality to suffer. The rhythm guitar player/vocalist was harsh and out of tune in many of the songs. As the venue began to pack more bodies and heat, his guitar grew sharper, causing the sound of his music to pierce the ears of the audience. The bass player’s volume was to quite when compared to the rest of the group and he lurked in the corners of the stage, barely noticeable. As for the horn section, the trumpet and trombone player lacked communication with the band and each other. The trombone player played most of his horn into the ground, which left very little sound to reach the audience. Because he was sharing a mike with the trumpet player, the trombone player was hardly noticeable as the trumpet blared across the room. If the trombone player had raised his arms to lift the trombone higher, he would have been heard more clearly, as well as increased his lung capacity. The average young trumpet player enjoys blaring high notes at insane speeds with no regard to anyone else. This is exactly what the trumpet player did. The sax and trombone player stayed quite, below the vocals and constantly checked to see if they were in tune, however the trumpet player continued to play out to much and covered...

...vocalist who gained fame during the early fifties. Though he was a talented performer, his talent and life was destroyed by the evil of drugs. Chet Baker was born on December 23, 1929 on a farm on the outskirts of Yale, Oklahoma. Later, shifted to Los Angeles with his parents at the age of 10. Baker, who was privileged with a musical family background enters the musical world when he was a kid. He marks his entrance to the world of music by joining the church choir team. He was introduced to playing trombone by his father who himself was a professional guitar player. Not to mention that his mother was also a very talented pianist. At the age of 13, Baker makes a significant mark in his musical career by replacing the trombone with a trumpet due to the fact that the trombone being huge. Even though Baker received musical education at Glendale Junior High School, he left school at the age of 16 to join the United States Army where and joined the army band. In his transition period, he left the army in 1948 and attended El Camino College in Los Angeles where he studied theory and harmony. But he was dropped out again and joined the army again in 1950.

...of music. Born in 1926 into a middle-class home, Miles Davis had the opportunity to take his first trumpet lesson from a family friend named Elwood Buchanan. When he was not taking lessons, Davis spent his time practicing relentlessly and studying complex concepts of music theory (Frankl, 21). Miles Davis took advantage of his musical resources and eventually became an iconic jazz trumpeter and bandleader. As an active jazz musician for over 50 years, Miles Davis was able to contribute a stylistically diverse body of music compositions to the jazz community and the world (Gridley, 261). Miles Davis impacted the development of modern jazz by creating a novel trumpet playing style, producing numerous noteworthy recordings and spreading his enthusiasm and appreciation for jazz music. Miles Davis’s colorful trumpet style and sound was very distinct and unique. Thus, many other trumpet players during the cool and hard bop periods admired Davis sound and were influenced by it. Davis was known to use a Harmon mute without the stem in order to soften the instrument’s loud sound down to an intimate whisper (Frankl, 14). At the Newport Jam Session in 1955, Davis became highly recognized for his Harmon mute solo in the song “Round Midnight.” His improvisation had a beautiful sound conveyed a sense of sadness and loss (Frankl, 14). In addition to producing beautiful sounds with his trumpet, Davis used periods of silence as effective dramatic devices (Gridley, 262). His well-thought out timing...

...concert represented music that I was not accustomed to and therefore was annoyed with at first. Yet as I began to open my mind a bit and realize that with every different note it reflected a different emotion that the original conductor was feeling, it made me curious of what else was about to come. Aaron Copland’s “Quiet City” was without a doubt my favorite piece played at this concert. It began with a quiet and slow noises of violins that made me envision a dark night when one is looking into the clearing. A dark tonight then transitions into an early morning battle or conflict as the trumpets begin to blare all throughout. Not just the title itself, but the style of the music makes me think of New York City and how lonely it can sometimes be. Yes there are happy times, the times you realize the opportunity, but moreover the sad times begin to take over the individual. The trumpet does an excellent job of making the individual think about what they really have and if indeed the opportunity of the city is in reality worth the emotional frustration going on. One other piece that I did like was Antonin Dvrak’s...
