African drumming
West African music has no musical notation and is passed down orally through generations by griots, who are storytellers and wandering musicians. The most common drum is the djembe, which produces different tones when struck in various places and is now used globally. Other instruments include dunduns, which are double-headed drums that can be played individually or together to create melodies. African drumming features call and response, complex interweaving rhythms, and varies in tempo and dynamics to maintain interest.

Music is planned and organized sound that occurs over a specified period of time, represented through symbols on the musical staff. The staff contains five horizontal lines and four spaces, with a clef sign at the beginning to indicate pitch. A key signature uses sharps or flats to indicate the key, reducing the need to notate these accidentals with each note. Bar lines and the time signature help establish the beat and rhythm that gives music its steady pulse.

Introduction
This paper will use five jazz music title compositions from the WGUC radio station which will be described through music journals. The titles of the music will be researched to determine whether it is newly composed or whether it is a standard jazz tune. The artist or group of artists for the songs will be researched and then placed into the most appropriate classical, contemporary or historical context. The composition will be evaluated to find out the instrumentals as well as the way human timbres are used and the manner in which they interact. The jazz type or genre which most effectively fits the composition will also be identified. The five compositions that will be focused on include the Wolf gang Amadeus Mozart: Horn Quintet, Paul Creston’s partita for violin, flute and strings, Antonio Vivaldi concert performance on #6 in a minor for violin as well as the Kegelstatt trio performances. It will also include William Grant ’still lyric quartet.

Released: 2004
Label: Harmonia Mundi USA

From a personal perspective, contemporary music has not really changed view towards this composition.

Style: Classical period

This is a classical work was divided into three major movements which include the Rondo also known as Allegro vivace, Allegro moderato, and Romance which is the Andante cantabile.

However, it was said recently that the rainbow score might represent a type of color code.
The program was a shrewd composition that was put together in the eighties. It includes four major works that are not overly heard (Goto, et ...
