Answers & Comments
Answer:
Explanation:
1. orchestra consists of four groups of related musical instruments called the woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
2.wood winds- small wood winds high pitch notes
-large woodwinds bassoon make low notes
-bell is curved shaped like on the clarinet and the saxophone.
brass-
-Brass often has a bright gold appearance, however, it can also be reddish-gold or silvery-white.
-Brass is a metal that is yellow in color and is made of copper and zinc. -Brass is used for these instruments because it is stronger and harder then copper, but not as strong as steel, so it is easy to form into different shapes.
-Percussion-Each body part that you percuss provides information about the consistency as well as the size and borders of the underlying structure.
-Percussion instruments are instruments that are played by being hit, rattled, or scraped.
-A percussion instrument is defined as a musical instrument (including the drum, xylophone, and maraca) sounded by striking, shaking, or scraping.
3. Flute- The timbre of the concert flute is homogeneous in all registers with only the very lowest and highest notes exhibiting any different qualities. Because they contain few overtones, the lowest notes can sound rather dull, dry and hollow which gives them a melancholy character.
Trumpet- The trumpet plays high brassy notes. The trumpet is the highest sounding member of the brass family. The brilliant tone of the trumpet travels through about 6 - ½ feet of tubing bent into an oblong shape.
Cymbals- Their timbre is entirely different, more like that of small hand-bells or of the notes of the keyed harmonica. They are not struck full against each other, but by one of their edges, and the note given in by them is higher in proportion as they are thicker and smaller.
Clarinet- The clarinet has a distinctive timbre, resulting from the shape of the cylindrical bore, whose characteristics vary between its three main registers: the chalumeau (low), clarion or clarino (middle), and altissimo (high). It has a very wide compass, which is showcased in chamber, orchestral, and wind band writing.
Violin- Timbre provides the richness in sound we perceive when we hear a good violinist playing on a well-made violin. Well-made violins have a greater array of harmonics than do cheap violins. The relative loudness of different higher harmonics contributes to timbre, but there are other factors that contribute as well.
Basson- Mellow, gentle, velvety, mild, sonorous, warm, smooth, picturesque, tense, active, penetrating, plaintive, long, light, delicate, full, round, slender, narrow, sensitive. The U-shaped bend of the bassoon tube means that it lacks the penetrating and brilliant shawm-like sound of the oboe.
Trombone- Timbre on the trombone is more varied than most instruments. Trombones can produce a very harsh, very loud sound, or a very smooth warm mellow tone, depending on how they are played. Generally, the higher register is more smooth, simply because in the upper register slide positions are closer together.
Tuba-Its timvoice. In the upper register, many cellos may be said to have a "tenor-like" timbre.bre is soft with an extraordinary range of nuances. Because of its "monumental" and "heavy" nature, its timbre which can be "powerful" and "impressive", the tuba is not "heavy"! As one may generally imagine. On the contrary, it can flexibly dispose of its entire range with surprising agility.
Oboe- Clear, bright, penetrating, acerbic, keen, biting, rasping, reedy, powerful, robust, full, insistent. The sound quality of the oboe is very versatile and ranges from the thick notes in the low register to the thin and piercing high notes.
Cello- The cello produces a deep, rich, and vibrant sound. The cello reaches the lowest pitch in the traditional string quartet and is capable of covering nearly the entire range of pitches produced by the human
