Music on Monday by Phillip O. Paglialonga Concert Review

I attended Phillip Paglialonga’s performance on September 12th. I was really glad that I am able to enjoy the music after a day of study, especially on Monday. It was my first time attending this Monday recital session at Squires, and I am hoping to attend more because of the high quality this performance.

Beginning with a classical string quartet with the clarinet, I was attracted by the ensemble of the first violin, the second violin, the viola, the cello, and most impressively the clarinet. I played the violin for ten years and I enjoyed when I played in the chamber ensemble in high school. I can understand more on the strings, but not the clarinet. I have never listened to a clarinet

Different instruments including the piano, clarinet, and snare drum were used in the performance of all these works. The first piece of work I am going to review is Denneriana.…

    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 concert report will be on Esperanza Spalding Live at Austin City Limits. The venue mimics that of a outdoor auditorium by having a huge mural of downtown Austin behind stage, and if just seeing it for the first time from a video, one would think it was outdoors. The venue was pretty large, the size of a large auditorium, and the acoustics were good and there was little to no echoing. Though most of Spalding’s songs fall under the genre of jazz, she would rather not be called a jazz artist due to it limiting her. Her style, as heard in the concert, has many jazz aspects but with hints of soul, and which she mentions in her performance of her first song “Jazz Ain’t Nothin’…

    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.…

    Every day, I try to listen to a new piece of music. Whether it be a string group, unaccompanied choir, or even a percussion consort, I believe that by doing this, so much can be learned from just listening. About the mid-month of July, I came across this piece of music. I thought it was extremely fun and quirky at the same time! I had continued to listen to it, read some background information on the piece, and do a small amount of study on the work.…

    For my concert critique, I went to Jason Terry’s Doctoral Piano Recital on Tuesday, December 1st at the School of Music in room 206. Because Terry was able to pick the pieces he played, he picked a range of different pieces to emphasize his wide range of talent. He included older and modern pieces including Bach, Godowsky, Balakirev, Zorn, and Liszt. The first piece he played was “Prelude & Fugue, BWV 872” composed by Bach. I was a little unsure about the nature and form of this piece because it was unlike some of the more structured pieces we listen to in class.…

    I chose to discuss how Caroline Shaw’s Passacaglia piece exhibits characteristics from Edgard Varese’s piece even though the composers had different performance mediums. Throughout Shaw’s piece, you can hear a few characteristics of e experimentation. Shaw’s piece does not use a lot of synthesizers and is not a dramatic as Varese’s Poeme Electronique. Shaw uses some electronic sounds and characteristics of experiments within her piece, but her main sound was the use of whispers, shouts, and cries to make her pieces unique.…

    Upon attending the International Chamber Music Festival Concert, a certain ecstatic vibe could be felt as the performers walked on stage with their musical instruments. The virtuoso’s performed in pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other to carefully listen for the melody. The first performance, was from Mosaics, by Eric Ewazen, only introducing the first movement: I. Barcarolle. The performers Dr. Susan Berdahl (flute), Dr. Xiaohu Zhou (bassoon), and Dr. James Moyer (marimba), all played outstandingly and show cased exactly how Chamber Music is meant to be played.…

    The intensity of the message was felt by all of the performers, especially Janine Jansen whose expressions were easily read during the concert. This connection was felt between all of the violinists, the cellists, and the harpsichord player. There was clear nonverbal communication between the number one violin and cello player and their ability to play in perfect unison was outstanding. Conclusion…
