Assignment 4 The Ecological Sustainability of the erhu ____Yunrui Zheng

Image
Introduction The erhu occupies an important place among traditional Chinese musical instruments, and is loved for its melancholy tone, rich musical expression, and infectious musical power. The overall length of the instrument is about 80 cm, and the vibrational length of the strings is around half of that. The soundbox is a tube, and one end of the tube is covered by a membrane of tensioned python skin.

Bars 1 to 2 are the introductory section, which is in the key of G mino...

Bedřich Smetana: The Moldau  Law Vanessa Lok Tung The Moldau, composed by Bedřich Smetana in 1874, is a symphonic poem that depicts the river Moldau. The picturesque landscape portrays two springs join in the Bohemian woods becoming a river, flowing through the Czech countryside and into Prague. The cool spring and warm spring unify into a single current.      The following analysis will mainly focus on a segment of the work from 0:00 to 2:47. The piece first begins with semiquaver ascending notes performed by the flute solos (bar1 to bar15) at a relatively quiet dynamic, creating a tranquil night setting. The continuous sound of the flutes with small crescendo and decrescendo in each bar, showing fluidity and small wavy of water. It also mimics a rapid running of water on rocks in a mountain stream.    The joining of clarinets (bar16) and viola (bar28) with similar semiquaver notes with the flute, seems like illustrating the confluence of the t...
