Performance Appraisal – Running Over Town-Terry Popple, A Little Time- Beautiful South, and Sweet Georgia Brown- B.Bernie/M. Pinkard/K. Casey

The three enchantments I stand canvass are1. Running over Town-Terry Popple2. A Little Time- Beautiful South3. Sweet Georgia Brown- B.Bernie/M. Pinkard/K. CaseyI pitch decided to perform Running Over Town for my procedure charm. This c on the whole option is a country- oscillate. The main feature of this arrange is the changing sense modality of the song. The deck up fit out makes an impact with the considerably- placed fills and the divergent beats utilize. The fills apply paradidles and double strokes. The song has a good ABAC structure. The rehearse of a backtalk click and the bell of the cymbal adds to the feel of the flake and makes it stand out. When I performed this I added three stroke ruffs in the fills and adapted them to how I sight would voice best. This is what the composer tells you to do in the voice Using a drum kit, bass guitar, lead guitar and a keyboard gives the song a fairly thick food grain and a range of instruments. The dynamics util ize on the drum kit emphasise the main parts of the song, where the theme changes and where the song is developed.In this objet dart I think that the range of my instrument is fully explored because a descriptor of fills are used. Also, more than nonpareil voice is dissembleed. These voices are* the cymbal as well as hitting it norm all toldy the bell of the cymbal is used* the snare drum it is hit with the snare on and a run along click is in like manner played* the hi-hat it is played closed and open. in that locationfore the drum kit has been explored and contrasted unlike operates are produced.Three special playacting techniques are used in this piece. The first is the opening of the hi-hat which produces a splash sound which can non be made anywhere else on the kit. The aid is the contend of the bell of the cymbal which adds to the different sounds coming from the cymbals. Lastly the sass click is used which helps convey the conception and theme of the piece.Thi s piece is originally composed for the drum kit and has not been arranged for it.My instrument relates to the others in the ensemble by playing the verse and keeping the time. It adds to the texture of the piece and influences the whole sound when all the instruments play as one. It is vital to the piece as it would not sound decently with out it because some(prenominal)one motives to play the rhythm.The links between my action piece and the others that I have studied is that they all use b rim clicks throughout the song to enhance the sound of the piece. This is withal a performing technique that is required to give the desired effect while playing the piece. In my performance piece I also had to splash the hi-hat, use varied fills, play on the bell of a cymbal and add dynamics. every these are performance techniques that the composer has decided to use.The first 2 pieces use fixing eighth note grooves with a backbeat on 1 and 3. This is common of rock music. But the thir d piece is a flatus piece which uses an mod jazz groove which involves triplets, as all jazz grooves do.The expectation of the pieces affects the personal manner they are composed. If the audience was expecting a obtuse piece performed by an orchestra past the composer would have to change his or her ideas and add more instruments. For example, the composer might slow the piece down and replace the drum kit or guitar with a string section of the orchestra. The pieces would also be performed differently in that the performers may feel like playing the piece riotouser because the audience prefers physical music.All of my chosen pieces are notated in the aforementioned(prenominal) way solely not composed in the same way as they are all different agencys of music. The first piece is a country- rock piece so is played with a jerky guitar and has quite a fast tempo (allegro). Also it has a piano playing the main telephone line.The second piece is rock and sounds a lot like the first moreover it uses string instruments instead of the guitar and it also uses a keyboard to play the melody. Unlike the others the song has two singers. At the beginning it sounds like the first piece as it uses a keyboard, a rim click and a groove connatural to the drummer in the first piece.The third piece is a lot different as it is a different style of music. It is a jazz piece so the drummer uses a jazz groove which is played using triplets unlike the two other drummers. A keyboard is used in this piece alone is used in a different way to the others, and it doesnt play the melody all the way through. There is a double bass in this and a saxophone along with a keyboard and a drum kit.My proceedingWhen I performed my piece under exam conditions in front of the two music teachers I think that it went well, because when I played the grooves in the piece I played them smoothly and correctly. Also, when I performed I played confidently and made few mistakes although, to keep t he rhythm perfect I thought that I would have played better with the reenforcement track so I could hear when the rhythm changed by listening to the other instruments. I also think that I added the dynamics well and played at the right tempo. The fills that I added also fitted the piece and added extra to the overall sound of the piece.I think my performance was played as the composer retrieveed it to be played as I had played along with a backing track while practicing and this helped me to play the right sort of style. I also think that this was played in the same style and theme as the composer had intended.There were a few special features in my performance piece. There was a rim click which was used in a genuine groove which enhanced the piece as it suited the country style. on with this I played the bell of the ride cymbal. Another technique I used was splashing the hi-hat. This is when you take your foot off the hi-hat and play it with your hap as the hi-hat is being re leased. I think that I handled the difficult veto with ease as I decided to play a piece that I could handle instead of one that I would make mistakes in because it was too hard.I might have improved the piece by playing it with headphones to help me keep in time as I didnt have the backing track on and therefore I could have enhanced the sound because I would be playing with a better rhythm and style. Overall, I think I performed my piece well and gave a memorable and convincing performance, but there is room for improvement.Composition planMy piece of music brief is to compose a piece that shows the different uses of a rim click in three or more genres of music. I also hope to show that the drum kit has been explored in my physical composition and that it has been used to its full potential. I am going to use rim clicks in basic quarter, eighth and sixteenth note rock grooves shuffles Latin and jazz grooves. Along with the grooves I am going to add some fills. I am also hoping to add dynamics and texture to the piece as at the beginning it leave start with only one hand playing the kit and then increase to using all my limbs. I am going to use techniques that I have studied and liked.This brief relates to the pieces that I have studied as it uses a rim click which is what my three chosen pieces have in common. I am going to expand, develop and explore this technique in my composition. This is in all the three pieces I have studied but I specially liked it in the first piece (Running Over Town).I am going to use this technique in jazz and shuffle grooves which twain revolve around triplet feels. I have used the jazz grooves from the third piece but have made them simpler and added my own style to them. The rock grooves are played straight and do not need as much care as the other grooves. These I have taken from the second piece I have studied as I think that they are very affective. Also, the Latin bossa nova groove does the same thing. This is just s omething I want to add because I think that it will give the composition a wide range of genres.I intend to use a few special techniques in my composition which admit using ghost notes (which is when you play a note quieter than the others), a rim click, splashing the hi-hat and hitting the bell of the cymbal.Using these techniques would help me fulfil my composition brief as it would show how the drum kit is being used at its full potential.
