Hear Music

111, I found the first movement to be extremely interesting, especially because of the time signature that it was written in. It appears that the first movement is written in 9/8, which I was not expecting to hear. The first movement puts a lot of the focus onto the cello, which I enjoyed listening to. The sound of the cello was prominently featured, which I enjoyed. It seems that the violins imitate the sound the cello is producing about twenty seconds into…

The concert that I attended was the music at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Saint Cloud on November 15th. This concert featured the Saint Cloud State University concert choir, chamber singers, women’s choir, and men’s choir. The concert was primarily vocal with some instrumental features. The genre of this concert was mainly a concerto. The type of ensemble that this concert featured was chamber music. The historical era that was represented throughout this concert was the 20th/21st century. One…

When you hear the word band when related to music, what do you think of? Is it a small group of friends playing in a garage, or a huge group of people putting on a concert at school? Merriam Webster defines a band as “a group of persons, animals, or things; especially: a group of musicians organized for ensemble playing.” To finish out the semester I went to one last concert, the SIUE Wind Symphony and Concert Band. The opening piece of the night Where Never Lark or Eagle Flew by James Curnow.…

Music has been my salvation; reggae music is my mainstay because the lyrics are like a sermon. Reggae is about life and the world around you. Listen to any Bob Marley record and you will hear what I speak of. In high school I listened to heavy metal which as a black teen is very rare but I was in the environment and so adapted. What is interesting is that, what I heard in heavy metal was nothing more that the blues that had been amplified and I called it amplified blues. My thought was…

as a result of her I learned of Beethoven and every single other sort of music. It was at ten years old that my adoration for music happened. I played each melody I could discover about having a broken heart, depression, absolution, meanings of adoration and family, what they intended to me. Anything that I could play I did. Music turned into a noteworthy piece of my life, I started to see it in everything. I could see music in each individual that I came across. I was at long last ready to…

VIOLA can speak ZANONI enters. He remains cold, aloof and unflattering. He hears the SOUND of the violin that still echoes in the walls and ceiling of the home. VIOLA PISANI I dreamt I saw you here last night. ZANONI I can hear the music from your father's endless playing. It touches every note as if he is standing here. VIOLA PISANI I hear it play in the night. Most of the time he communicated with me through his music... It was beautiful, but, it was hell to sing to. ZANONI We should speak…

without it, the world would seem like a monotone mass of people instead of a bright and colorful planet. One of the choices I make is the music I listen to. I love hearing different artists tell their story through words, and I can hear it with just my headphones and the press of a button. If I couldn’t make this choice, I would be stressed and annoyed. Music calms me down…

that kind of person, and don’t think I’ll ever be. Not saying that the mainstream media content is purely bad but I just can’t listen to most of music they put out. Music to me is a really special thing that makes me feel some type of way. Don’t intentionally search for new music, I like to just have the music find me. When i’m out and about and I hear a certain song that catches my attention I have to stop what I’m doing and figure out who’s it by and the name. My first and top of my list on…

Music programs are being cut from an increasing number of schools across the country each day. Making the choice to rid a school of its music program is like making the choice to rid a school of its education all together. Music in schools is much more than an elective, and few people know this. It is a tool that affects students in a way that will help them succeed and become more intelligent members of society. It alters the way the brain develops, the way someone learns, and strengthens…

brought me back to that feeling. Ariana Grande wasn't able to use any emotions in her music, which makes it really hard to connect with her. Prince Royce only knows when to add emotions to certain songs, like when he sang, “Solita,” Oh my. I was so in love with the fact, that cry, something no other male singer can express. The one thing about the concert was that the microphone was low at time and really hard to hear and understand either one. The tempos of “Back it up” by Prince Royce were on…
