Ever since I was a young boy, music has been a very prominent part of my life. My parents believed being involved in musical performances and fine arts events were just as important as sports or anything of that sort. I can’t thank them enough for inputting this view into my life as it has given me a true appreciation for music, theatre, and any other live presentation of the arts. For some, attending a live performance could be a drag, but to me it is quite the opposite. Tuesday at the…

Philharmonic Orchestra perform Symphony No.5 of Dimitri Shostakovich, which took place at Bunka Kainan, Tokyo, Japan in 1979. This concert was conducted by Leonard Bernstein. The concert lasted approximately 50 minutes and included varieties of instruments.

I tend to hear various melodies used elsewhere either from Star Wars and or Pink Panther like melodies.…

When listening to any piece by Beethoven, you receive the whole range of emotions, and the Fifth Symphony is no different. Just the first four notes, a simple da-da-da-dum, is enough to send shivers up your back. Packed with all the furious confidence of Beethoven, it suggests scarlet eruptions, heavenly processions and all the powers human drama. These four notes started the memorable first movement. This movement is like a Stephen King novel because it is so saturated with intensity and…

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 instrument that I have never heard played live before during this concert was the organ. It was a very divine instrument to hear being played lived and I really enjoyed it. My favorite piece throughout this concert was “Tell My Father” because the men’s choir sang it so beautifully. All the men sang this…

longer to finish. After finishing book five, I went onto my book six mark for a total of seven years of playing violin. In third grade, I always wanted to play an instrument at school. After I graduated third and moved onto fourth, I was thrilled to play in the orchestra our school provided us. We were only allowed to choose three instruments to play, which was the Violin, Viola, and Cello. I immediately and instinctively chose the violin mainly because it is what I am best at. It was a bad…

Goals of this Music Concert were to enjoy last day before a Christmas holiday and to show parents what their sons…

and up beat tempos and loud music this piece reminded me of a celebration. The piece created a visual of medieval times. I chose Piece No.4 because when I first heard this piece it drew my attention and sounded interesting. The way the different instruments in the piece sound and their tempos made it easier for me to have a response to this piece as opposed to the other pieces. *3. Description The general structure of piece No.4 is broken into three sections. The first section that ends…

playability are sure to please both advanced and intermediate electric guitar players. As the Dayton area's leading authority on guitars, Centerville Music has a few thoughts on it: A Unique Hybrid: The shape of the Fallout is based on another instrument from G&L, the SC-2, which was notably played by Devo's Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh. While the Fallout model has the same light, slim body and 25 1/2 inch length, its pickup configuration makes it more of a hybrid: it features a full-size…

The print of art is by Marc Chagall, and is titled The Green Violinist. It was created in 1923-24. The print shows a variety of colors, shapes, and has a lot of details. The main point is the green man is the middle ground of the print as he plays the violin. Chagall created a theatrical effect by using a bright green color on his face and one of his hand as the other hand has a glove while he plays the violin. Fiddler appears to be dancing on top of the houses. In the background, there are…
