It was freshmen year and probably one of the most stressful weeks I’ve ever experienced. It was the week of solo and ensemble contest for band. I was in a saxophone trio with two other fellow saxophonists. Now we weren’t prepared for this at all. I was the only one that practiced the Sonata and could play it.

I remember listening to them speak about it, my father said, “Tenor pan is the sweetest sound in the orchestra, you simply cannot have a good sound without it.” I think he feels that way because a great amount of the calypso from Scrunter and Sparrow that he listens to has tenor playing in the background. On the other hand, my mother loves cello a lot and described it as, “The REAL pan that keeps the orchestra

described that “a metaphor has two parts: the tenor and the vehicle.” The tenor is the topic that people want to present; the vehicle is the medium that used to represent the tenor. Moreover, there is some people use the general terms ground and figure to call tenor and the vehicle. The line between the metaphor, analogy and simile is kind of vague for some people.

Master Class and How the Artist Ignores His Audience The culture of the 1990s -- the books, the films, the music, the plays -- was largely a reaction to the ostentatious nature of the 80s.

In addition, I will follow Hymes speaking model to identify and point out components of linguistic interaction to

While there are few chords, it has a circular form. After Miles’s slow trumpet performance, we see the main reason why this song stands out: the solos of Bill Evans and John Coltrane. They played the piano and the tenor saxophone, respectively. The chords double in speed during those solos. Most of the chords are only played for two beats, however the tempo does not change. They later get fast again, so that every chord gets only one beat under a short piano solo
