Wagner Overture To Lohengrin

Improved Essays
The first musical selection that I chose to listen to was Chopin Prelude in E minor. During, parts of the selection I heard a difference in the interval of the pitch. Following that, most of the selection was played in mezzo piano, but in the middle, I heard a crescendo and then a decrescendo. I thought that the selections timbre was mostly mellow. This selection musical instrument was just a piano. The tempo I thought this selection was played in was moderato.

The second musical selection that I chose to listen to was Wagner Overture to Lohengrin. In this selection there were multiple musical instruments some came from the string section I know I heard a violin for sure. Among the multiple instruments they mixed together in good harmony.

Most of the melodic lines are smooth and legato, yet are disrupted by the pointed and staccato figures of the percussion section that underscore the longer lines of the wind instruments.…

    The introduction of the song had strings and the main instrument was the celesta with the staccato. Then there was a short section where the strings and the woodwinds went back and forth between each other. The main theme of the instruments was the celesta, accompanied by string instruments. The meter of the song was 2/4 and the rhythm was off beat from the string instruments. The final work was Trepak, it is a very lively song and as the tempo accelerates the dynamic increases also.…

    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.…
