    This piece begins with a tranquil woodwind choir with other instruments gradually joining in. The tempo is andante, as it is moderately slow, yet more of a simple pace. This work takes advantage of dynamics heavily, as it varies from pianissimo with a solo flute to a gorgeous and strong fortissimo dynamic of the whole ensemble. This piece also varies in texture quite a bit, as it alternates between monophonic soloist sections and grand homophonic sections of the whole band. Most of the melodic lines are smooth and legato, yet are disrupted by the pointed and staccato figures of the percussion section that underscore the longer lines of the wind instruments.…

Just the first four notes, a simple da-da-da-dum, is enough to send shivers up your back. Packed with all the furious confidence of Beethoven, it suggests scarlet eruptions, heavenly processions and all the powers human drama. These four notes started the memorable first movement.…

    Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is one of the most well-known symphonies ever written. The first movement is “fast with vigor”. The introduction is somewhat deceiving because it does not feel fast. The smoothness of it allows the listener to sit back and forget how quickly the music is progressing. It is not until the first half cadence from V/V to V that the listener feels how dynamic the movement is.…

    The dynamic keep changing and it causes the tune to be very sweet because of the dynamic and the combination of instruments. The form of this music during the romantic Era was not very common, and the main idea of this piece is that Berlioz’s use of an “idee fixe.” Its changed and developed easily, even with the movement and the notes. It did create different moods and tune; it makes the form seem different. At the middle of the music, it stars really in being loud and scary; it comes out like there is a witches and some scary…

    This piece is called “Cello Suite No. 3, Op. 87”, which consisted of nine movements. The first movement, “Introduzione: Leno” was performed incorporated intense fast paced speed accompanied with numerous different bowing techniques, such as pizzicato and double stops, fingering with the right hand, and a staccato resulting in shorter sounds or spiccato, where the strings are struck by the bow.

    The ritornello form is used for this piece. The episodes which fall between statements of the ritornello are performed by the concertino or one instrument solo. They are very virtuosic and sound like they could be improvised, even though they are written out. (1) This form creates contrasts in texture, dynamics, and sometimes melody. The entire ensemble is used together for certain sections of the piece, other parts change key and tempo and return back to the home key at the end.…

    This does not possess a catchy melody, but one that has a jagged contour and great complexity, skipping up and down the piano. The voices of the characters, likewise, are required to produce many different tones in order to give more complexity to this melody. I believe the intent of this piece was communicated very well, giving the readers a story of true love and how powerful it can be. Even though the audience knew the ending of this story, they were still able to feel through the performance how much the characters had loved each other…

    1 in D major, “Titan,” was performed next. It was much longer in duration than the first piece. It showed uniqueness in that it incorporated everyday sounds into the music, such as bulge calls, bird songs, and dance tunes, which provided for a very wide variety of tone colors. The symphony began with a thick-textured undertone in the strings and a two-note “hunting call” in the woodwinds, which persisted throughout the piece. Also present was a bright fanfare in the trumpets, followed by a light descending melody played by the entire orchestra.…

    Also, tremolando relates to the tempo change, extremes of register ascending and descending sequences the cello and double bass therefore, creating syncopated rhythms. Overall the rhythm is driving and can be unpredictable in places, for example. Adding to this, the sonata form is uneasy as it seems the actual second theme appears in the development section instead of the exposition section as the first motif sounds as if it is being repeated and the recapitulation is just a repetition of the…
