	Ostinato Vamps
		In 2002 she wrote an inflammatory review of the book A Song Flung Up to Heaven by Angelou, which she did not mince words saying that Angelou was hustling the public by offering such an uninspired work.
		Although she does take an occasional stab at humor with some of her poems, the collection is primarily darkened by the prevalence of cataclysms, despair, and anger.
		Overall Ostinato Vamps is a documentary on the inner and outer struggles of Coleman’s streets.

	Ostinato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ostinatos are to classical music what riffs are to popular music.
		A ground bass (also basso ostinato: obstinate bass) is a bass part or bassline that repeats continually, as an ostinato, while the melody and possibly harmony over it change.
		Some famous examples of ostinatos are the basso continuo part from Pachelbel's Canon in D and the military 5/4 rhythm in Gustav Holst's "Mars" from The Planets.

	Maia Ciobanu’s Ostinato II (1995) : Musical lines for a programmatic maze (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ostinato II Composer and musicologist, Corneliu Dan Georgescu is of the opinion that `contemporary music in Romania does not follow a single, unified course’.
		Ostinato II was first performed in the same year that it was written in Braila (Romania) by the Bucharest-based ensemble Traiect under the direction of Sorin Lerescu.
		Ostinato II carries on the same scenario from its predecessor (Ostinato I (1989) for percussion and tape) in as much as a soloist tries to escape from the ostinato’s pressure.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Ostinato
		Ostinato, an Italian word meaning "stubborn" (compare English obstinate), is to classical music what riffs are to popular music.
		An ostinato is a bit of melody, a chord progression, or a bass figure that is repeated over and over as an accompaniment.
		Ostinati are frequently used in Baroque music, where the basso continuo invites the use of the technique (as a ground bass), and fixed forms such as the passacaglia and the chaconne require it.

	Sonic Glossary: Ostinato
		An ostinato is a persistently recurrent melody, melodic fragment, or rhythmic pattern.
		(Ostinato is Italian for "obstinate" or "stubborn," which conveys the effect of this musical device.) As illustrated in the example you have just heard, the use of ostinato in Western art music can be traced at least to the 13th century.
		In the transition to the third scene of Wagner's Rhinegold (1854), an ostinato is used to represent the Nibelungs beating and fashioning gold on their anvils in subterranean caverns.

	Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Day Tripper" (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The ostinato appears in only the first eight measures of the verse, but the arpeggio quality of the ostinato continues in the bassline even when the ostinato itself isn't present; another example of homogeneity without foolish consistency.
		The ostinato which is flowing and arch-shaped stands in sharp contrast to the voice parts which are jagged and downward in gesture.
		I'd argue that the two repetitions of the ostinato (four measures worth) which separate the two verses were intentionally put there, like a petit reprise of the intro, to rebuild suspense and slow the pace of the game because of whatever momentum is picked up in those last four measures of the first verse.

	Fantasia on an Ostinato (for orchestra), John Corigliano
		That music is unique in Beethoven’s output because of a relentless ostinato that continues, unvaried except for a long crescendo and added accompanimental voices, for over four minutes.
		In Fantasia on an Ostinato I attempted to combine the attractive aspects of minimalism with convincing structure and emotional expression.
		The first explores the rhythmic elements of the ostinato as well as the harmonic implications of its first half, while the second develops and extends the ostinato’s second half, transforming its pungent major-minor descent into a chain of harmonies over which a series of patterns grows continually more ornate.

	Louis-Rene des Forets - Ostinato - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur Online
		Als des Forets 1997 nach über zwanzigjährigem Schweigen sein autobiografisches Buch "Ostinato" veröffentlichte, wurde dieses Ereignis von der französischen Kritik hymnisch gefeiert.
		Die Weigerung des Autobiografen, "ich" zu sagen, dem Erlebten eine biografische Kontinuität und retrospektive Deutung zu geben und das autobiografische Werk als ein für alle Mal abgeschlossen zu verstehen, verleihen "Ostinato" einen singulären Stellenwert.
		Louis-René des Forets autobiografisch geprägte und fragmentarische Prosaskizzensammlung "Ostinato" ist für den Rezensenten Thomas Laux ein Schreiben, das sich "paradox" zu sich selbst verhält, indem es immer wieder die Versuchung des Schweigens, sowie seine Unmöglichkeit thematisiert.

		This was used extensively by a variety of composers throughout Europe; taking their lead from the rhythmical patterns used in contemporary dance tunes.

		In most kit drumming - rock, jazz, folk, ballade, country - the drummer sets up an ostinato on the cymbals and plays the rhythm pattern on the rest of the kit against this ostinato.
		The cymbal voice remains steady, so subsequent notes on the kick and snare are played simultaneously with the ostinato.
		Basically, any pattern that can be played as an ostinato can be played as a linear pattern.
