Regarding the music…

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.…
I listened to the performance with great effort and tried to pick out detail. Due to my lack of knowledge before participating in this course, I was unable to precisely, dissect and have full understanding of all the musical detail displayed. I feel that this experience exposed and enhanced…
For the soloists, it was really powerful and seeing Dr. Sung Ae Lee move more than usual. The dynamics went loud to more loud, soft to loud, and slowly fades and pauses and chords strikes making a performance to be alive. There was a balance between the melody lines and the accompaniment giving a flowing sound and soothing tone. I enjoyed watching and hearing the cello for the first time with the piano were it accompaniments each other. There were no awful mistakes but the piece with the cello…
The event that I decided to go was BYU Baroque Ensemble, a production made by BYU students, taking place at Madsen Recital Hall Harris Fine Arts Center on November 3. The idea of making a baroque orchestra is where musician get together to make a perfect composition of music, the baroque orchestra is made up mostly of stringed instruments, when you listen you feel something different that makes you see it from another perspective, you just can’t stop listening and focus on every note that the musicians are playing. The type of instruments that were utilized in conjunction were the basso continuo, played by a viol, cello or bassoon. Other parts were added between the melody and the bass by a keyboard instrument, usually a harpsichord or organ and the development of tonal harmony, in which the melodic voices movement remains under the functional chord progression.…
The sound of the snare drum made me scared in my mind I thought Please Mr. Zielenski don’t pick me to play the snare… I had known that I could not play the snare drum last year in sixth grade and I wouldn’t even touch one the sound of it was cool, but I could never just get the rhythm right. When I started band I started with a camp over the summer and I was pretty great at playing the quarter notes only. The weeks I tried hard at trying to play the snare, but I constantly did flams (using both sticks and hitting the snare) and I decided that day that I could not possibly play the snare drum. Then this year came around and I decided that it was time to make a change I had to play the snare for band I decided to start with a beginner book and keep going through what I could not play.…
The kind of music that we have been going over these past five weeks or so in this class is not new to me, but at the same time I am not totally comfortable with the different styles and how each are unique. When deciding what concert to go to o I could write this report I was unsure which one to pick. I was unsure of what each concert had to offer me with what pieces of music that would be played. After much debate and deliberation I came to the determination that the best concert for me to attend would be Cirque De La Symphonie Goes Broadway! Presented by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.…
With only about a month to learn these pieces I knew I needed to work hard. I practiced everyday during and after school to prepare for this special event. It was verbalized to the students that if you did not know your part to the music you would be sent home. I made sure I was not going to be one of them. So on November 10th my parents and I were on our way to Winston-Salem for the long and exhilarating weekend to come.…
It was nice to hear her play different pieces by Beethoven and other composers on the various instruments that they had available at the center. I was also surprised by the fact that the center had an original manuscript by Beethoven and replicas of many of the different instruments he played with during his time. Prior to the visit to the Beethoven Center , I…
Concert Report Two The concert performance given live that I have attended on Thursday April 20th, 2017 was an organ licentiate recital by Ian Guenette. It was held at the Redpath Hall, a building located on McTavish street. The Redpath Hall was first dedicated for a library building, but is now taken charge by the Schulich School of Music. The Hall is very charming with its high selling that contains thick dark brown carved wodden beams that covers the intire ceiling and gives warmth to the room.…
Opening night, the dancers that performed in the University Dance Theatre production, had talent, agility, and graceful movements. The concert had a variety of dance genres, visual appeal, and emotions that each piece and the show overall represented. Humor, drama, and serenity were not emotions I thought I would receive while watching these dances. One thing I did not realize would make many of the pieces was how crucial and reliant lighting and graphics were necessary to make the piece more visually interesting. However, I was excepting similar dances and movements; even if, some pieces had comparable choreography and emotional appeal the diversity stood out.…
