How do you change B-flat bass Clarinet music into Bassoon music?
Bassoon is in concert pitch (C), bass clarinet is in Bb. If your key signature is Bb then the bassoon is in Ab. The very easiest way to do it (assuming you know all of your concert scales) is to simply convert to concert pitch. The clef doesn't matter because bassoon (at advanced player levels) is written in bass, tenor, and treble clefs all the time. For example - you know that a C on your clarinet is Bb concert. Every C you find in the music is a Bb for the bassoon. You know that an F on your clarinet is Eb concert - all F's become an Eb. The other way is stepwise transposition. If we know that a C on clarinet becomes a Bb on bassoon (or any other concert pitch instrument such as flute) then we're transposing DOWN two half steps to find the concert pitch. For every note in your bass clarinet part, transpose down two half steps for the bassoon. The very easiest way: if you know a baritone/euphonium player that can play in both bass clef and treble clef - he can do this transposition at sight because in treble clef he plays in Bb and in bass clef he plays in concert pitch. Use this chart going from 11 to 9 -- http://www.new-creation.net/docs/Transpo... Add: if you're a bassoonist, learning to read directly from a bass clarinet (Bb) and Bari Sax (Eb) part is a really good skill to have. If you're a bass clarinet player then learning to read right off a bass clef part in C (bassoon, euphonium, tuba) is an essential skill. It's also a lot easier to do at sight on an EEb Contralto Clarinet and the contra is a better double/sub for bassoon. Either way, it's just a matter of practicing reading those sorts of parts and making the transposition in your head. It always beats writing the parts out and truly impresses directors and other musicians when you can be so versatile that you can read any part on your instrument. Even more versatile: there's no good reason bassoon players can't learn to play a bass clarinet and bari sax or that bass clarinet players can't learn bassoon and bari sax. The combinations open a lot of playing opportunity doors.
What is the best music to listen to while sleeping?
Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy notes:"While listening, your heart rate gradually comes to match that beat. It is important that the song is eight minutes long because it takes about five minutes for this process, known as entrainment, to occur. The fall in heart rate also leads to a fall in blood pressure.The harmonic intervals - or gaps between notes - have been chosen to create a feeling of euphoria and comfort. And there is no repeating melody, which allows your brain to completely switch off because you are no longer trying to predict what is coming next. Instead, there are random chimes, which helps to induce a deeper sense of relaxation. The final element is the low, whooshing sounds and hums that are like buddhist chants. High tones stimulate but these low tones put you in a trance-like state."As for me, I listen to http://ringtones.rocks/adele/hello
Where to get Pink Floyd trumpet sheet music?
I've recently started listening to Pink Floyd albums such as Atom Heart Mother Suite, and I was wondering if there are any music books that include music for Pink Floyd songs? I'm especially looking for one including the Atom Heart Mother section "Father's Shout" and the song "Summer '68." If you've got any idea where I can get the music for any of these songs, be it a music book or free download, please just give me an idea of what they are.
Singers and musicians: A question. Can i switch octaves in a song that I sing if it sounds OK?
If you're singing with a choir, it's okay to switch octaves. If you're singing a solo (such as during an audition), you should avoid switching octaves in the middle of the song, especially if the song is well-known. Switching octaves also tells the adjudicator about limits in your range capacities. I would only transpose down an octave in an audition if the notes are clearly and ridiculously too high. To solve this problem, you should either: 1. Pick a song within your range 2. Sing the whole song an octave lower 3. Transpose the song into a key where you're comfortable singing all the high notes and low notes without switching octaves. If you pick option #3, you should transpose the sheet music for the pianist. Since transposing by hand can be hard and troublesome, I recommend that you get a computer program to do it for you, such as Sibelius or Finale. If you go to http://www.sibelius.com you can get a free demo-download that has the full capacities of Sibelius except saving.
What are the best Pink Floyd instrumentals?
This is a subjective question, so these are my 5 subjective answers:One of These Days (Meddle): That pulsating bass (okay, yes, it's two basses playing together, but still...) and the frenetic drumming and the eerie feeling it gives you as the song hits it's climax.The Great Gig in the Sky (DSoTM): Yes there are vocals, but no lyrics, so it's still kind of an instrumental. Although the wailing is a bit much in a few places, the piano playing is truly beautiful. Very moving piece. Signs of Life: (MLoR) The spooky organ, the water, the beautiful way the sound increases. I love this often-overlooked gem.Celestial Voices: (UmmaGumma) I'm cheating here, because Celestial Voices is only one part of the "Saucerful of Secrets" suite, but it's the only part of that song I enjoy. The soft four-note organ intro, the gradual addition of other instruments, the increase in volume, then the crescendo and a non-lyrical vocal by Gilmour. Love it!The Ballad of Will Hubbard: (Amused to Death) Now I'm hugely cheating, because it's on a Roger Waters solo album, but if I included one track without Waters, I'll balance it by adding a Waters track without the rest of them. Musically, it's not much; it's very sombre and serious. But there's an elderly man in the background talking about his experiences in no man's land in WWI and it is very moving. I find it riveting.
What are some good guitar and piano duet songs?
This is a stunning piano/guitar version of 'You've Got a Friend' with James Taylor and Larry Goldings from the 'One Man Band' CD/DVD..
Looking for a song called Come Follow Me. It isn't the one you hear in church.?
It starts something like "high above the trees I can feel the gentle breeze.....come take my hand, I'll be your guide come follow me" The sheet music I had was for both piano and flute. The cover was green.
What will music be like in the future?
I'm very concerned about it. On one hand, it's becoming so automated, in the sense that mechanical, repetitive patterns and electronic effects mimic the physical automation all around us. Where you can almost see the trees and rivers and sky and clouds in Beethoven or Mozart - or the human angst and spiritual epiphanies in Mahler, there is no comparable expression of naturalism in modern music (correct me if I'm wrong.) And yet we are all still human and capable of such things, aren't we?Another trend is anti-harmonic. That is, the harmonic sophistication in popular music which reached its zenith (for me) in the early and middle work of Stevie Wonder, (not to mention the Great American Songbook) has been reduced to chant-like chordal repetitiveness and simplification in rap and hip-hop and everywhere else.Then there's the lack of poetic greatness we see in Dylan or Leonard Cohen, Lennon, Bowie, the sophisticated humor of Fagan and Becker, etc. (Correct me please, because I don't listen to the new stuff much!)As for symphonic music, I consider the orchestra basically an antiquated form (which is OK) because the sonic experience of it has become subservient, on a psychological level, to another art form: the cinema. I can still be transfixed by a Prokofiev piano concerto, but that's like reading Dostoevsky. It's a wonderful walk through another era of human experience. (Coltrane on the other hand still produces a solid present-day affect.)I believe, however, that great music comes from great eras and times of social turmoil. Great artists will arise, unquestionably. Maybe there's someone I simply don't know about now. But I deeply hope that the artificiality of music I hear around me is not the future. It's not about technology. BB King and Jimi Hendrix took an electric instrument and humanized it to express contemporary feelings. Let's see what happens.Addeddum: I've been writing as if there's only Western music. All around the world there's probably great music burgeoning out of other societies where, in fact, greater social turmoil and aspirations for freedom exist!
