Explanation:

The word alliteration, also called head or initial rhyme, refers to a stylistic and literary device widely used in poems in which there is a repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of two or more words that are placed together or closely connected. In simple words alliteration is the occurrence or repetition of words that begin with the same sound; this is important as two words might begin with the same letter but still have different consonant sounds. Considering this, the words in the poem presented in the question that create alliteration are "Big; band" as these two words are placed together in the verse "A big band blares its harmony" and they both have the same consonant sound given by the letter "B", which creates some type of rhyme at the beginning of the verse which is exactly what alliteration is about.
