Live Concert Report: Fiddler on the Roof
The following is my personal report of CBC’s summer showcase performance of Joseph Stein’s Fiddler on the Roof. This is a musical so the performers didn’t play any instruments themselves other than their own vocal instruments, well besides the fiddler that appearance’s on the roof in the very beginning of the performance. So, the violin is obviously the first instrument that stands out in the play. The musical instruments that are played throughout the performance by the orchestra are the violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpets, French horn, trombone, piano, and drums.

The performers were energetic when they needed to be and calmer when they needed to be. I’m not an expert, but the singers seemed to be in tune with each other during this song. It seemed like the performers had practices a lot and were completely comfortable with their technical demands. The performers all seemed to know what they were supposed to be doing and when to do it, there was quite a few props that needed to be brought in and taken out before and after this performance and it was done flawlessly.
The composition and performance I liked the least were both the song, Miracle of Miracles. It’s a romantic style song that I just didn’t care for. The beat of this song didn’t seem to flow with the rest of the songs that came before it. Although the performers did their best trying to display energy the music didn’t really provide for much. The performers singing was in tune when it could be considering that the harmony seemed to be dissonant and it just seemed out of place to me with the lyrics. This was one of the only songs in the concert that I could wait to
