Baylor University Concert Choir Report

Improved Essays
The Baylor University Concert Choir performed a concert entitled “Child of Song- His Song”. It was performed by roughly 79 people, both male and female. The concert was their spring recital and all songs performed were praising God. Each selection had a unique feeling associated with it as well as a different connotation. The first section of the concert was slower and more somber than the final section. These songs were used more for worship and didn’t have the upbeat feeling as the later ones due to the lack of the band. The first three songs either had piano, organ, or not instruments accompanying. The final two songs had a small band of a piano player, bass player, and a drum player accompanying the pieces. All of the songs were polyphonic

    Even though it was difficult to understand the words of the vocalist, it was still noticeable that the words went along the rhythm of the song and the melody. After the lyrical section of the song, the electric guitar had a solo which had a riff at a medium tempo; the solo seemed to have only been a written solo, since the musician appeared to be reading it from the music sheet. After the guitarist solo, there was a horn solo which involved tonality of high pitch notes. The whole band then played a consonant harmony that had the same syncopation as the introduction. Then the vocalist sang, while the guy in the keyboards played a chord.…

    On Sunday, June 21st, I went to see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra perform “The Music of John Williams and Hollywood’s Great Composers” at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco. The concert was held in the church’s worship room at 6:30pm. This was a great place for the DSO to perform because the audience and the orchestra were very close and, in a way, felt more personal. The show included fourteen pieces: “Overture to Captain Blood by Korngold, ‘Tara’ – A Short Poem for Orchestra from Gone with the Wind by Steiner, arr.…

    This is what played on my Nokia phone radio app as I went to school in Mattapan listening to Jam’n 94.5. Unlike the hymns, this musical style followed me as I went to a private SDA high school called Greater Boston Academy in the Suburban town of Stoneham, MA. Between Berea and Greater Boston Academy, my family did not come into contact with money. However, my mother and I valued SDA schools so much that I did not mind traveling 1 hour by train and bus to this foreign town. Surprisingly, the school was pretty diverse and the musical taste of the teachers and students were not too far from mine.…
