    The piece I chose that I believe speaks most about grace and mercy is movement five, “Und went die Welt doll Teufel war”. This movement was later added into this piece after it was finished along with movement one to add timpani and trumpets. In this movement, the choir sings in unison, and the trumpets all play similar parts, with the violins playing counterpoints. The violins play this joyful and freudig run of sixteenth notes throughout most of the movement, creating a vision of swirling…

    I watched the New York Philharmonic Orchestra perform Symphony No.5 of Dimitri Shostakovich, which took place at Bunka Kainan, Tokyo, Japan in 1979. This concert was conducted by Leonard Bernstein. The concert lasted approximately 50 minutes and included varieties of instruments. Instruments to name are a large group of violins, clarinets, cellos, French horns, a harp, flutes, basses including a bassoon and oboe. I tend to hear various melodies used elsewhere either from Star Wars and or Pink…

    there was still a significant horn presence with a dynamic range that could mask the strings if necessary. However, there was typically a very successfully symbiotic blend. The Maestoso opened with a strong, projecting horn line, accompanied by the timpani reminiscent of that of a royal introduction. Despite being distracted by the physical performance discrepancies, my attention was grabbed by the boldness, and held captive throughout the rest of the composition, which ended with a march. The…

    create a harmony that even the most diverse instruments can be played together. The percussion was harder for me to make out, but I believe there was the tambourine, triangle, and a cymbal. It was noticeable that he gave special treatment to the timpani and xylophone when he played the percussion instruments. It is rare for me to hear a xylophone in music, so it…

    At one point in their career, most music students are met with a rather difficult choice: whether to join concert band or a symphonic orchestra. While both are ensembles with a conductor that play music arranged into different parts together, there are several important differences to take note of when deciding which one fits each musician perfectly. First of all, not every instrument is represented in every ensemble. A concert band, often called symphonic wind band, consists, as the name…

    1. The first piece of music I listened to for this assignment was Lohengrin, prelude to Act III composed by Wagner. The song was written for a scene for a wedding between a hero and heroine. The instruments in this song include a full orchestra and it is an orchestral piece. In my opinion, the song had a variety of feelings and sounds. For example, there is one part where it is mainly or entirely woodwinds. During this section, the music sounds very peaceful and light. After a while this…

    Baroque style are that it has a single melodic idea and that the dynamic shifts drastically from loud to soft quite often, which are both staples in Baroque style music. The piece was written for 2 trumpets, 2 oboes, 2 violins, along with a single timpani and viola. This piece also included the SATB vocal ranges in their choir and solo accompaniments. This piece is popular even today, I knew of it before this class simply from Church services and in other popular events. I wouldn’t typically…

    Listening to this piece brings back many memories from a high school All state year that Dr. John Lynch was conducting the band. I remember seeing and hearing this piece for the first time, loving every moment of rehearsal and simply relishing in the moment. Throughout there is such beauty and richness reminding me of Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed. The opening idea is beautifully orchestrated and the bells chiming allows for my imagination to wander to depict a scene of a town amidst…
