Nadia Boulanger was born in Paris, France on 16th September, 1887, and is known to be one of the most influential teachers of music compositions of the 20th century. Nadia grew up with her mom who was a pianist, her dad who was a choral composer and her sister, Lili Boulanger, a talented music composer. Nadia grew up surrounded with music and truly loved it. She cherished her passion and wrote many music pieces and later on became a music teacher. She taught many famous students who are well known as some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. The music piece I listened to was Elegie . I like Elegie because the piano added an elegance to the music piece and contrasted well with the singer's voice. It has a calming tune with high pitches and a slow rhythm.

Astor Pantaleón Piazzola was born in March/11/1921 and died in July/4/1992.

He altered the traditional tango into something new called nuevo tango.

When he was a child he learned many languages and the bandoneon which made him a child prodigy.

The song I listened to is Libertango (made or performed in 1977.) It had a fast pace and the instruments were doing their own thing like looking at totally different music sheets. There is guitar (electric), flute, drums, and piano. When Astor played the bandoneon it was very good. Bandondeons look like very hard instruments to play. The way he played it was at a very fast pace. The way the different instruments are mashed up together is what I really like about the song.

Astor Piazziolla is an amazing musician and Composer.

Nadia Boulanger was born on September 16, 1887, in the vibrant cultural hub of Paris, France. She grew up in a musical family, with her father being a composer and her mother a gifted pianist, which greatly nurtured her early interest in music. Boulanger passed away on October 22, 1979, leaving behind a legacy that profoundly shaped the world of music.

She is celebrated not only as a composer and conductor but also as an accomplished organist. However, her most notable contribution lies in her role as one of the most influential music educators of the 20th century. Boulanger's teaching style was both rigorous and inspiring, emphasizing the importance of understanding music theory and the emotional power of composition.

Throughout her illustrious career, she mentored a remarkable array of distinguished American composers, including Aaron Copland, who credited her with expanding his musical language; Elliott Carter, known for his complex and innovative structures; Quincy Jones, a legendary figure in jazz and popular music; Igor Stravinsky, with whom she shared a mutual respect; and Philip Glass, a pioneer of minimalist music. Boulanger's distinct ability to nurture and guide these talents has left an indelible mark on the evolution of modern musical composition, influencing generations of musicians and composers who followed in her footsteps

One of her songs I listen to is Soir d'hiver (1915). I really like this song because her voice is in a perfect pitch and I feel like I could sleep with it. Another thing I like about this is that this song is soft and slow. This song has b flats and naturals and slurs, sometimes it goes to high to low and Up the scale.

Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla was born March 11, 1921. He passed away on July 4, 1992, at the age of about 71 years old.

What sets Astor Piazzolla apart from other composers for me, is that he is the first composer I have learned about that tried to switch to classical music but instead turned to Tango. I have never learned about Tango composers before. Another thing that sets him apart is he lived in a very violent and poor neighborhood, instead of joining the violence, he turned to music.

I really enjoyed his piece called "Libertango" (1974). It has a very nice rhythm and melody. Some parts felt more intense while others were soft and relaxing. I liked hearing the drums playing in the background of the piece. Overall it was a very enjoyable and calming piece to listen to for me.

The title of the piece I listen to is Oblivion. It sounded pretty and romantic, and I could tell it had Italian influence. I didn't love it because it was too slow for my taste. There were lots of long slow notes, followed by a short bit of fast notes, and then went back to long, slow notes. The song reminded me of a romantic dinner at an Italian restaurant.

Florence Price was a pioneering African-American composer born in 1887 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Showing musical talent at a young age, she studied at the New England Conservatory, overcoming barriers as an African-American in classical music. After moving to Chicago, Florence Price became part of the Harlem Renaissance';s artistic scene. In 1933, she made history as the first African-American woman to have her Symphony in E minor performed by a major orchestra, the Chicago Symphony. Her compositions skillfully blended classical forms with spiritual and folk melodies from Africa. Price unfortunately passed away in 1953, but her legacy as a vital figure in American Music stays. She stands out from other composers for her unique fusion of classical music and African Gospel and Folk songs.

I listened to Symphony No. 1 in E minor and I was impressed by her voice and the piece itself. The piece balances moments of powerful energy with gentle, lyrical passages, reflecting resilience, hope and a deep sense of belonging for the African-American community listening to her song.

It was normal speed-fast. The music had multiple different instruments in it.

Price became the first African-American woman to perform a symphony and the first to be recognized as a symphonic composer.

The piece that I listened to is called "Adoration". It is very calming and somehow can relieve your stress. It's one of those pieces that makes you feel like you're levitating. Imagine a cool breeze in spring passing by you as you bike around trees with blooming cherry blossoms.

Florence Price was an American classical pianist and composer who was born April 9, 1887 and died June 3, 1953. She was the first African-American woman to be seen and recognized as a symphonic composer, and was also the first one to have her own piece performed by a major orchestra. She made over 300 pieces of music, and defied the racial and gender barriers in her time.

I listened to one of her most famous pieces, Symphony No. 1 in E minor, and quite liked it. It was very exciting, with many crescendos and decrescendos that would capture anyone's attention. There were also a lot of quiet and loud parts, which took the audience on a roller coaster. The build up at the end was nicely done, and used all of the instruments in the orchestra. Overall, the piece was soothing, bold, beautiful, and was a piece that anyone would love.

Astor Piazzolla was a composer that revolutionized the tango, forming an entire new form of dance, calling it the "Nuevo Tango" or "New Tango." Born in March of 1921, Piazzola incorporated classical and jazz genres into his music.

The world-renowned composer was special because he not only used classical music in his musical scores, but the fact that he incorporated jazz into the music made him really special.

The piece that I listened to was Libertango, by Astor Piazzolla, and the accordion played a really cool part, and when you listen to the song, you feel like you really want to do the tango to it. The dynamics and the tempo of the song were also amazing.

Xavier Foley is a double bassist that was born in 1994 and is alive today.

He is a solo double bassist, which is rare and what's special about him. Many musicians don't go to double bass, and especially not solo double bass, as it's usually paired with under instruments to create a harmony for the melody, usually the violins in most pieces. He also composes music using several different musical genres like classical and jazz. He's also won several awards like being the winner of the 2014 Sphinx competition.

I listened to his piece "Changes", and I liked it quite a bit. It's sounds very rough and rigid and utilizes the double basses' features really well. It constantly goes from low to high notes which creates a nice contrast. Halfway through the piece, it goes more legato which is also a great contrast to the rest of the piece. Overall, it's a great piece that sounds rigid and uses the basses' kind of strong sound to make it sound good, with a lot of contrast to go with that.

Xavier Foley, born 1994 in Georgia, was a bass player who eventually became a composer throughout his life, and he is still alive today. He has won many awards, such as the Sphinx Organization´s 2014 competition, the 2016 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and more. He graduated from the Julliard school, which is one of the greatest accomplishments for a musician. I chose to listen to his piece named, "Irish Fantasy", which was arranged for solo double bass. The song is beautiful and flowing, and was very nice to listen to. This creates a stark contrast when the song throws in a loud, slamming note, which makes the piece very interesting and varied. In the middle, the piece gets very fast and intense, which shocked me and had me at the edge of my seat. The tempo changes a lot throughout the song, keeping the listener thinking, which was very thrilling. The song ends with a fierce and fiery ending, a great finale for a great piece. Overall, Xavier Foley is a great composer and and exceptional bass player.

I listened to a piece called 3 Pieces for Cello and Piano. I really enjoyed this piece because I liked the melodic phrases that the cello had. The piano's right hand broken chords also really helped accompany the cello's melody. I really like the melody changes and chord progressions with the piano's left hand. The dynamics in the piece were really dramatic, which made the piece more intense, which was another thing that I also liked. With the base of the piano and the melodic voices and of the cello, I really enjoyed this piece.

I listened to her 1914 piece, "Three Pieces for Piano," which I thought was very nice. I enjoyed this piece, because it had a delicate but grand sound, as well as some jumping, galloping rhythms. I also like the mood change in the second section, where it became more somber and scrounged. Lastly, the third section was like a soft but grand ending to it all, and I enjoyed the multitude of chord strummed throughout.

Piazzolla's nuevo tango was distinct from regular tango due to the incorporation of jazz and classical music. This branches off of the regular tango music that was created back then.

The piece I listened to was Libertango, a peppy and swaying piece that I enjoyed. I enjoyed this piece because of the booming accordion that carried the piece, and the catchy piano in the background. This song takes a regular tango and spices it up to create something new and fun.

The song starts as a sweet melody. I could actually imagine her pain and feelings as she composed this song.

It feels like looking past at the good old days, before she moves into a dramatic melody, as if saying "I don't care about the past anymore". Then, she dives into another bittersweet memory as she experiences its feelings. It ends quietly, leaving the audience to think about their past.

Towards 1897 - 1904, Nadia Boulanger was taught composition and the organ by Gabriel Faure and Charles-Marie Widor. Soon after, she started to teach privately and made a couple short pieces in 1908 and won 2nd place in the Prix De Rome. However, she put down her music after the death of her sister Lili Boulanger, who was also a composer of music.

Nadia Boulanger conducted at many places, she was even good enough to be the first women to conduct an entire program of the Royal Philharmonic in London. In the late 1930's, Nadia Boulanger promoted French music and even started to teach again and became the director of the latter in 1949.

I listened to "Prelude" and the music felt quite dramatic. It is a 57 second piece and it is actually good for it's length. I liked the music because it is very simple. The only instrument that plays throughout the music is the organ. The starting organ sounds very clear and vivid. However, I would say the music could've lasted a little longer which would've made it much better.

Boulanger not only taught multiple leading musicians, but she was also the first woman to conduct important orchestras in the U.S. and Europe like the BBC Symphony.

I listened to one of her songs, Cantique, which means "hymn" in French. I liked the vibrato in the voice of the singer and how the notes were held out. The sound of the singer's voice getting louder and quickly falling silent was awesome. I loved how the singer had also held down her jaw for a more opera like sound.

Though, the agentina musician was a major Latin American composer in the 20th century.

A personal song that I favorite from Astor Piazzolla is Libertango, this orchestrated piece e is a series of fast fingered movements on the accordion and piano. I enjoy this song because the fast notes sound very natural, like something you would hear walking the streets of a European town. As the song goes on, the notes get faster, or more sharp, which speeds up the finger movements, though the sequence of notes makes it sound smooth and crisp. It sounds like the Accordian primarily leads the song with the piano in the backround.
