ensemble

Examples of ensemble in the following topics:

• A Brief History of Basso Continuo

  • Basso continuo emerged in the seventeenth century as a shorthand notation for keyboardists (typically church organists) who were accompanying a soloist or small ensemble performing a work originally composed for a larger group.
  • The fact that keyboardists did this in the context of supporting a soloist or small ensemble led to that term later being applied to any situation where a keyboardist accompanied spotlight performers.)
  • As this technique grew, publishers began publishing thoroughbass reductions of large-ensemble pieces to support smaller groups of musicians.
  • To this day, harpsichordists performing in Baroque ensembles will often put their left hand to the same "bass" line that the cellos play, and will improvise right-hand chords (with contrapuntally sound embellishment) according to the figures provided with the bass line.

• The Java Culture

  • Performances of shadow puppet theatre are accompanied by a gamelan orchestra in Java (a musical ensemble made up of mostly percussion instruments).
  • Variations of gamelan ensembles are distinguished by their collection of instruments and use of voice, tunings, repertoire, style, and cultural context.
  • In general, no two gamelan ensembles are the same, and those that arose in prestigious courts are often considered to have their own style.
  • Certain styles may also be shared by nearby ensembles, leading to a regional style.
  • Javanese gamelan ensemble performance during traditional Javanese Yogyakarta style wedding ceremony at Sasono Utomo, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia.

• Radiation from Systems of Particles

  • The electric field is linear so the total electric field of the ensemble is the sum of the particle's individual contributions,

• Architecture during the Six Dynasties Period

  • Tombs of a number of members of the ruling Xiao family, with their sculptural ensembles in various states of preservation, are located near Nanjing.
  • The best surviving example of a monumental statuary from the Liang Dynasty is perhaps the ensemble of the Tomb of Xiao Xiu (475–518 CE), a brother of Emperor Wu, located in Qixia District east of Nanjing.
  • Throughout the Six Dynasties, miniature models of buildings or entire architectural ensembles were often made to decorate the tops of "soul vases" (hunping) found in many tombs of that period.

• Dynamics and Accents

• Frequency and Interval

  • For example, an a capella choral group, or a brass ensemble, may find themselves singing or playing perfect fourths and fifths, "contracted" major thirds and "expanded" minor thirds, and half and whole steps of slightly varying sizes.

• Cultural Universals

  • The sociology of culture concerns culture—usually understood as the ensemble of symbolic codes used by a society—as it is manifested in society.

• Internal Energy

  • We can use statistical mechanics to relate the (somewhat) random motions of particles in a system to the mean kinetic energy of the ensemble of particles, and thus the empirically measurable quantity expressed as temperature.

• Dogon Sculpture

  • Their art deals with Dogon myths, whose complex ensembles regulate the life of the individual.

• Introduction

  • Like any musical ensemble, a small business includes many roles.
