GOOD Music

In Pomona College in October 4th, the orchestra played three pieces; Tangents for George Walker, Trittico Botticelliano for Ottorian Respighi, and Symphony No. 104 for Franz Joseph Haydn. The first one for Walker music like Jazz style, but I did not know what type is it. The second music for Respighi were three movements: La Primavera (Spring), L’Adorazione dei Magi (The Adoration of the Magi), and La Nascita di Venere (The Birth of Venus). The first La Primavera (Spring) is in E major, and the…

I was actually expecting to hear a piano in this band but that didn't happen either. I also didn't hear any kind of regular Jazz music, the kind we've been listening in class. Instead, I was going to listen…

atmosphere of the recital hall was more relaxed than that of an orchestra concert. The overall atmosphere spoke to the type of music presented. As stated before the concert was not what I was expecting. I enjoyed it more than I believed I would, it certainly isn’t my new favorite type of music, but understanding aspects of it gave me a greater appreciation for the music and the musicians. Things such as a recognizable basso ostinato set by the base player were a familiar starting point. When…

On November 5,2016 Olney Central College’s music department held its fall concert in the Dr. John D. Stull Performing Arts Center. This concert featured many vocalists and musicians between the concert band, the concert choir, and the jazz band. The performances feature many different composers. Overall, the concert band sounded really good. For this concert, the director chose songs that would reflect different stages of life. I liked this theme and the song choices just for how the rhythms,…

of great minds like theirs clash in other respects. Their views on music follow the same example of both related and clashing ideas. PLATO, in his “utopian” republic chooses music, next to gymnastics, as one of the two components of education. He believes that education should begin in early years and continue through life for beginning is the most important in forming young children. In his opinion education should start with music in particular for he attributes great spiritual power to…

Taking an online music lesson was the most feasible in my situation because of time constraint and also how expensive music lessons can be in Palm Beach County. PianoOnlineBlog was the source of the piano lesson. The instructor who was a female started the lesson by explaining the key objectives that were meant to teach the student a greater understanding of playing the piano. The objectives were as follow: • Sitting at the piano • Distinguishing high notes from low notes. • Combination of…

We listen to the music that makes us feel the way we want to feel. A broken relationship might crave for a love song. A bad day at work might suggest motivational music. Needing to let out some anger might cause a want for Heavy Metal. Whatever the case may be, we listen to music because it has the power to make us feel a certain way. The music even sometime gives us visual images just base on the rhythm and lyrics. We are, for the next 3-5 minutes, transported to another world where nothing…

you feel like everything would be alright. There’s nothing like the deafening music and cheers, the sound of the crowd singing along, and the feeling that everyone is suddenly on the same wavelength. Personally, as someone who has always loved words and learning how to better make use of them, I feel like music that has lyrics such as the ones The Neighbourhood, Manchester Orchestra, and Chappo have is the only kind of music that can really provide that level of…
