Corey Briggs, Ohio Northern Symphony Orchestra, Freed Center, October 25th, 2015

Introduction I attended the Ohio Northern Symphony Orchestra concert on Sunday, October 25th. The concert was held in the Freed Center. The stage was very large in size and had a huge section to sit in for the people who attended the concert. The performance lasted roughly an hour and thirty minutes. The performance was incredible, the violinist played incredible together as well as the brass and percussion. Ryan Briley, the music major who came to our class one day to demonstrate the digeridoo, was a conductor one of the pieces played in the concert. My favorite part of the concert was the flute soloist Nicole Wells, who was the winner of the ONU Concerto Competition. The performers were dressed in all black. Men wore suits and women wore dress or skirts which ever they preferred.

The performance medium of the song was a symphony orchestra. The orchestra played a triple meter throughout the song with a homophonic texture. Different performers of this piece had less of a part to the main part by the violinist. The song started out adagio, it was a very slow tempo but had a numerous amounts of accelerando throughout the performance. The main dynamic of the song was piano, it had a very soft tone to it until the accelerando came into play which then gave it a forte type of dynamic. There were also a lot of times where the pitch began to increase and decrease which gave it a dynamic of crescendo and

    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.…

    On May 10th, I had the opportunity to the “The Stony Brook Roots Ensemble. This was my first experience witnessing traditional American music played live. The venue and the ambiance were completely different from my time at the orchestra at the Staller Center. The performance took place in the Wang Center Chapel, which had surprisingly great acoustics than expected. At the orchestra there was very strict etiquette when in attendance, where one must be incredibly quiet in order to not disturb anyone else.…

    Overall I expected it to be a great performance, and it is safe to say my expectations were met. There was a lot of kids, and babies in attendance which I didn’t expect at all. The performance put on by the Orchestra was great. When the director of the orchestra entered the stage everyone in the audience gave him an applause as he starts to greet the audience, and talk about the performance. The projector behind the performers had videos, and drawings displayed that was turned into amination, and it brought the drawings to life while making the story more entertaining.…

    The piece opened with lots of energy. The rhythm at measure 10 was very together, and the dynamics from measure 6 to 10 created a cool build. The transition to measure 27 was smooth and efficient. In the “Polar Express” section, there could have been more dynamic change and even more volume in general. However, the underlying percussion part gave the section an energetic, upbeat feel.…

    I do not think any words could have truly described how I nor the rest of the audience felt during that performance. The opinions and analogies of the pieces found in the program notes did slightly influence me. I agreed with and understood most opinions and comments of the performances. The listenings I did for my pre-concert assignment were not nearly the same thing as being in the auditorium. It was a completely different experience to see, hear and feel the performance in person as opposed to watching a video on a screen and trying to listen to the depth of the orchestra through…

    On Thursday, September 29th at 7:30pm I attended the LU Symphony Orchestra Concert in Towns Auditorium. Prior to the concert beginning, I noticed a wide variety of instruments on the stage. There were some instruments that I did not know the name of but for the most part, I knew a large majority of the string, woodwind and brass instruments presented. The last time that I went to a symphony was when I was in elementary school, so attending an orchestral concert in college was a much different experience. I was fascinated by the diversity of instruments.…
