As the music moved into bars and brothels, the upright bass gradually replaced these wind instruments.

In blues music, the harmonica is casually referred to as a " blues harp " or " harp ", but it is a free reed wind instrument ; not a stringed instrument, and is therefore not a true harp.

The harmonica, also called French harp, blues harp, and mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used primarily in blues and American folk music, jazz, country, and rock and roll.

The essence of Rajasthani music is derived from the creative symphony of string instruments, percussion instruments and wind instruments accompanied by melodious renditions of folk singers.

This was seen as a limitation by composers who were not interested in keyboard-based music, but the standard proved flexible, and MIDI compatibility was introduced to other types of controllers, including wind instruments and drum machines.

In classical music, trios or quartets either blend the sounds of musical instrument families ( such as piano, strings, and wind instruments ) or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string ensembles or wind ensembles.

Instrumental music from the Baroque era is often played in the 2000s as teaching pieces for piano students, string instrument players, and wind instrument players.

As only 3 percent of Sax's surviving production were pitched in F and C, and as contemporary composers used the E alto and B bass saxophone freely in orchestral music, it is almost certain that Sax experimented to find the most suitable keys for these instruments, settling upon instruments alternating between E and B rather than those pitched in F and C, for reasons of tone and economy ( the saxophones were the most expensive wind instruments of their day ).

Carnival means weeks of events that bring you colourfully decorated floats, contagiously throbbing music, luxuriously costumed groups of celebrants of all ages, King & Queen elections, electrifying jump ups and torch light parades that wind their way through the streets at night, the Jouvert morning: the Children's Parades and finally the Grand Parade.

The instrument was adopted for the performance of orchestral and chamber music, opera and theater, wind ensembles ( e. g., military and civic bands ), and most other music which might be loosely described as relating to " Western classical music " ( including, for example, jazz ).

In the late 1950s, mbaqanga music largely superseded kwela in South Africa, and so it followed that the saxophone surpassed the tin whistle as the township people's wind instrument of choice.

Trumpeters or brass ensembles are often specially contracted to accompany singing and provide special music at Pentecost services, recalling the Sound of the mighty wind.

Some common group settings include music for Full Orchestra ( consisting of just about every instrument group ), Wind Ensemble ( or Concert Band, which consists of larger sections and greater diversity of wind, brass and percussion instruments than are usually found in the orchestra ), or a chamber group ( a small number of instruments, but at least two ).

The most common uses of the vibraphone are within jazz music, where it often plays a featured role, and in the wind ensemble, as a standard component of the percussion section.

In wind playing too, it seems that vibrato in music up to the 20th century was seen as an ornament to be used selectively.

In music, timbre ( or ; ), also known as tone color or tone quality from psychoacoustics, is the quality of a musical note or sound or tone that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices and musical instruments, string instruments, wind instruments, and percussion instruments.

In 83 string quartets, 45 piano trios, and numerous string trios, duos and wind ensembles, Haydn established the conversational style of composition and the overall form that was to dominate the world of chamber music for the next two centuries.

Classical musicians today do not always maintain this division ( although plucked strings are grouped separately from bowed strings in sheet music ), but there is a distinction made between wind instruments with a reed ( woodwind instruments ) and wind instruments where the air is set in motion directly by the lips ( brass instruments ).

Another similar system is the 5-class, physics-based organology, which was presented in 2007 by Steve Mann ( Natural Infaces for Musical Expression, Proceedings of the Conference on Interfaces for Musical Expression, pp. 118 – 23 ), comprises Gaiaphones ( Chordophones, Membranophones, and Idiophones ), Hydraulophones, Aerophones, Plasmaphones, and Quintephones ( electrically and optically produced music ), the names referring to the 5 essences, being earth, water, wind, fire, and the quintessence, thus adding 3 new categories to the Schaeffner taxonomy.

The instrument was intended to serve as a replacement in wind bands for the oboe and bassoon which, at that time, lacked the carrying power required for outdoor band music.

She used to tell me, `` When I stand there and look at the flag blowing this way and that way, I have the wonderful, safe feeling that Americans are protected no matter which way the wind blows ''.

A good many pages of the first section are taken up with an account of the dogged determination of the prisoners to write to their wives and families -- even when it becomes clear that the Germans are simply allowing the letters to blow away in the wind.

Extensive facilities for group performance are provided by maintaining, under skilled direction, the Choir, the Orchestra, the Band, the Glee Club, and smaller ensembles of wind and string players.

Look at the trees as to size and interest, the amount of shade they provide, how healthy they are, the problems of maintenance, fire hazards, wind throw, etcetera.

Temperature, wind, oxygen content, depth, bottom character, and animal life are the chief environmental variables.

There are many such components of acceleration present due to the effect of wind gusts, engine noise, turbulence around the vehicle, etc..

LaGuardia's multi-lingual rallies, when he is running for Congress, are well staged, and wind up in a wild Jewish folk-dance that is really great musical theater.

The fruits are non-fleshy schizocarp of two mericarps, each with a single seed ; they separate at maturity and are dispersed by wind.

The vessel will now swing in the middle of two anchors, which is acceptable in strong reversing currents, but a wind perpendicular to the current may break out the anchors, as they are not aligned for this load.

( So prevalent are these isolated peaks and ridges that a specialised term has been adopted in Germany to describe this kind of country, thought to be in great part the result of wind action.

Whereas a biotic stress would include such living disturbances as fungi or harmful insects, abiotic stress factors, or stressors, are naturally occurring, often intangible, factors such as intense sunlight or wind that may cause harm to the plants and animals in the area affected.

Objects placed in wind tunnel models are almost always smaller than in practice, so a method was needed to relate small scale models to their real-life counterparts.

Temperatures within a given winter are highly variable as well ; extended cold snaps of forty below zero can be followed by unseasonable warmth with temperatures above freezing due to chinook wind effects.

On an anemometer with four cups it is easy to see that since the cups are arranged symmetrically on the end of the arms, the wind always has the hollow of one cup presented to it and is blowing on the back of the cup on the opposite end of the cross.

Three cup anemometers are currently used as the industry standard for wind resource assessment studies.

In cases where the direction of the air motion is always the same, as in the ventilating shafts of mines and buildings for instance, wind vanes, known as air meters are employed, and give most satisfactory results.

When the particles are in great motion, they produce a Doppler shift for measuring wind speed in the laser light, which is used to calculate the speed of the particles, and therefore the air around the anemometer.

Two-dimensional ( wind speed and wind direction ) sonic anemometers are used in applications such as weather stations, ship navigation, wind turbines, aviation and weather buoys.

When the wind blows horizontally, it presses on and moves the ball ; because ping-pong balls are very lightweight, they move easily in light winds.

These are the earliest anemometers and are simply a flat plate suspended from the top so that the wind deflects the plate.
