Circle of Fifths - Music?

I need to figure out which instruments play which major scales when everyone plays a Concert Pitch note:
Example: When Clarinets play C Major, the scale that is performed is D Major.

1. When Bari Saxophones play G Flat Major, the scale that is performed is __ Major.
2. When Trombones play F Major, the scale that is performed is _____ Major.
3. When Flutes play E Flat Major, the scale that is performed is _____ Major.
4. When Alto Saxophones play E Major, the scale that is performed is _____ Major.
5. When French Horns play D Major, the scale that is performed is _____ Major.
6. When Trumpets play B Major, the scale that is performed is _____ Major.

Also, once you tell me which scales are performed, could you also tell me how you got that answer? I don't have any idea of how to read the circle of fifths, I thought I knew, but when I gave my answers, they were all wrong. Please help, and thanks!

This is about transposition, it has nothing to do with the circle of fifths. Instruments are transposed for various reasons, but the most common one is to make it easier for players to use instruments that are tuned differently.

For example, let's say a trumpet player learns how to play a C major scale on a C trumpet, then you hand them a Bb trumpet. If they play the exact same thing, physically, you'll hear the same thing, but in a different key. The reason for writing transposed music is so players always hold their fingers the same way when they see a C, D#, Bb, or anything else on the paper. This makes it easy for them to switch between instruments that are tuned differently.

So what you need to do is figure out how each instrument is transposed, and figure out your answer from there. The questions are poorly phrased. It would be better stated "On a clarinet, a concert C major scale is a written D major scale."

I'll guide you through a couple, you should be able to do the rest from there.

Here is a transposition chart you can use:

http://www.musictheory.halifax.ns.ca/transposition.html

You may need to look up more information on some instruments to find out which tuning is most common.

#5
French horns are in F. Which means that a written C sounds a concert F, a perfect 5th lower than written. A perfect 5th above D is A, which means that a concert D major scale would be a written A major scale.

#6
Trumpets are available in several tunings, but Bb is the most common. On a Bb trumpet, a written C is a concert Bb, a whole step down. A whole step above B is C#/Db, so a concert B major scale is a written C# or Db major scale.

There's nothing else to explain. If you can't figure out the rest from that, you just need to read it over again and pay closer attention.

John Irvin directed this gripping and effective WWII drama set amid the carnage and slaughter of the Hurtgen Forest battle when the Allies moved on toward Germany in the fall of 1944. Private Manning (Ron Eldard) hopes for a Section 8 switch away from the frontline combat, but when he's the only survivor of his platoon, Captain Pritchett (Martin Donovan) is so impressed he upgrades Manning to sergeant. This irritates Sgt. Talbot (Dylan Bruno) who views Manning as a coward. Manning is put in charge of a group of awkward recruits, including the clumsy Sanderson (Zak Orth), as the Allies prepare to take a key location, a well-defended bridge. Shown at the 1998 Seattle Film Festival, this television production had its HBO premiere on June 27, 1998. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Tonight's the Night/Sing to Trumpets and Strings

$17.99

The Shirelles' first two albums are combined onto a single-disc CD on this reissue, with the addition of three non-LP cuts from their early singles. From 1960, Tonight's the Night was, in common with many debuts by hitmakers of the early '60s, utterly dominated by the hit singles included on the LP. On Tonight's the Night, these included not only the title track, but also "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," "Dedicated to the One I Love," and an honorary hit in "Boys," the B-side of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (and made into a standard in its own right via a cover by the Beatles). These tracks are excellent, and appear on virtually any comprehensive Shirelles best-of. The other cuts are filler by comparison, though still pleasant for the period pop-soul-early girl group production if nothing else. Of those other songs, Luther Dixon's smoldering "Fever"-like "You Don't Want My Love" stands out, while "Unlucky" is notable for later appearing on Dionne Warwick's debut album. For the most part, even more so than some other Shirelles' long-players, the LP evokes a bygone era when innocuous young love and its accompanying hurts were the center of many teenagers' universes, fretted over with the detailed seriousness of international diplomacy. Other than the smash "Mama Said" and its medium-sized follow-up "What a Sweet Thing That Was," the Shirelles' second album, 1961's Sing to Trumpets and Strings, had none of their more celebrated tracks. Nor was it geared toward ornate arrangements or standards, as the title Sing to Trumpets and Strings might lead you to suspect. Instead, it was typical of the Shirelles' early girl group sound, though the songs surrounding the two hits weren't as strong as the two songs that served as the LP's opening cuts. Its impact is diluted, too, by the use on three numbers of backing tracks that had previously been employed on recordings of the same tunes by fellow Scepter Records artists Tommy Hunt and Chuck Jackson. Still, the Shirelles do sing those well and bring some of their own personality to those items, particularly the dignified chin-up ballad "My Willow Tree." Rounding out the CD are the rather forgettable 1959 B-side "Look a Here Baby" and "A Teardrop and a Lollipop," as well as the considerably superior 1960 B-sides "Please Be My Boyfriend," where you can hear much more of their inviting girl group sound starting to emerge. ~ Richie Unterberger
