THE CONTINUITY AND CHANGE HOLST’s MARCH AND HOW IT INFLUENCED JOHN WILLIAM’s IMPERIAL MARCH The romantic era is the same era that musicians like Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky were brought up in, and there is no doubt that this was a pioneering turning point in the universal development of music. In particular, Gustav Holst had an influence on the production of John William’s Star Wars soundtrack, specifically the song titles ‘Imperial March’. This will be analysed through comparison and analysis of a classical era piece called Mars, by Holst in a series of scores called ‘The Planets’ and The famous sound of Star-Wars (in particular, the score called “Star Wars - Imperial march”) There is no doubt that John Williams, the composer of the ‘Star Wars’

In chapter three of “No Promises in the Wind” the train stopped in a town late in the afternoon. The bulls (as called in the book) are the men who are sent to get the free riders off of the train, but after the accident the bulls were nowhere to be seen. Everyone on the trains were able to get off on their own accord, because there were no bulls around. In the town’s depot no one paid any attention to them. Joey’s face was red and swollen because of all the crying he had done.
Music is used all over the world in movies, plays, and other entertainments. Musical composers are widely known for their talent to create their own original pieces.

During Sousa’s 40 years of composing he had many different musical pieces he wrote. One of his most popular pieces was a march called “The Washington Post”. Another one of his wildly popular pieces included a patriotic march called “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” John also wrote a few operas including his most famous piece, his third opera, “El Capitan.” These three pieces are all important pieces from Sousa’s life.
Symphony For The City Of The Dead In the book Symphony for the city of the dead by M.T. Anderson, the main argument is that Hitler thought that not just Jews were worthless, but also that Russians were worthless.

The book starts off in St Petersburg Russia, as people are suffering from terrorist attacks, and a terrible government.
“The man who has everything figured out is a fool...it takes a smart fella to say, ‘I don’t know the answer’ ” (Lawrence and Lee 55). This quote was stated by Henry Drummond, a protagonist in the play Inherit the Wind, written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. The quote is ironic because Drummond is stating that although it is important to know the truth behind something, it is just as important to know when an individual is wrong. In the play, one learns how the surface of things never truly reveals how they really are.
The concert I attended was the Winter Concert at Cabrillo Middle School in the school cafeteria. They had two directors; Miss Pamela Page directing the Advanced Band, Advanced Orchestra, and Concert Choir and Mr. David Anderson directing the Beginning Band and Beginning Orchestra. The Beginning Band was pretty big and had a lot of people in each group of instruments. You couldn’t see the Beginning Orchestra because they were in the back, but they had enough people that you could hear them.
The Poem for Flute and Orchestra (1918) originally written for Georges Barrère demands high lyrical virtuosity from the performer. Technical aspects of performance all should serve to interpret the lyrical characteristic of the piece. Poem was first performed on November 16, 1919 by the New York Symphony Orchestra conducted by Walter Damrosch with Georges Barrère as the flute soloist. The atmospheric opening is heard as a refrain throughout the work, there are sections of dense chromatic language, polymetric dance, and enlivening technique.
The opening piece for the evening was “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla” written by Richard Wagner. This specific song was taken from Das Rheingold and was written in the Romantic Era. “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla” starts with deep mysterious music
The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
that was previously mentioned, was distinctly American as it included dance music and jazz influences. It also included, but was not limited to, the use of quotations from the Mendelssohn Wedding March. Similarly, Copland was able to grasp and quickly adapt to styles unique to Latin America as he did in El Salón México. This composition was a product of his visit south of the American border.
Before this I had never attended a classical concert, so this was a new experience for me. This concert was worthwhile because not only was it affordable, it was also great for the price. Each song made me feel different, I could sense the emotion coming from these songs and the way the musicians played together added a feeling of satisfactory altogether. The venue had a large impact on the performance. The Nightingale Concert Hall provided great acoustics for the performances and fit well with the overall style of the concert.
The funeral music for Queen Mary The March is one of Purcell's three chosen pieces for Queen Mary's funeral, and was based on previous scores written before the death The march, in C minor, was written for a quartet of flatt trumpets, which could play notes outside of the harmonic series and thus in a minor key. The piece homophonic - this is where music is characterised by the movement of accompanying parts in the same rhythm as the melody.
Prior to this, I have never attended a classical concert. I actually had no clue as to what to expect because I could not find a review for UH concerts. The Jazz Orchestra performed in the Moores Opera House on a stage setting similar to that of my middle school band. The band instruments were tiered on the risers while the other performers were simply beside the risers. There were a few noticeable differences such as, the microphones set in the center for soloists, and a marker hanging from above to mark the center of the stage.
