Orchestra

The wind chorale and the flute solo were lovely and the strings were very sensitive and strengthen the whole orchestra. The third movement scherzo is hands-down my favorite movement; It’s Czech folk dance rhythm is so appealing as if I was standing on the road or in an concert hall in 19th century Czech. The triple and double meters mix together and this repetitive…

The concert that I viewed was Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra at the BBC Proms in 2004 on recorded and posted on YouTube. The title of the concert is called "Out here to swing!" performed by the incredibly talented Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra, including the director of Jazz at the Lincoln Jazz Center, Wynton Marsalis. The combination of all the musicians form what is called a Jazz Orchestra, which is a large jazz band with improvised soloist within the group of musicians.…

how to successfully lead the orchestra in a performance. When Milo readied himself to conduct, he noticed how many instruments the orchestra truly consisted of. There, sitting peacefully in the coolness of morning, countless people with numerous different instruments awaited the signal to begin. With so many instruments to follow along with Milo realized the difficulty of the feat. Not only had Milo never conducted this orchestra, but he had never conducted any orchestra before. He knew scarcely…

One of the main distinctions the Piano Concerto No.1 begins from the very first Bar. Traditionally in Classical concertos and more prominently in Chopin’s Piano Concerto’s the orchestra introduces the main theme. The piano for the most part comes in later in the first movement. During the Romantic era (Tchaikovsky’s time period), breakthroughs in the production of the Piano allowed it to sound much louder without compromising in…

in Singapore. It was a cello concerto performed by Wang Jian and accompanied by Singapore Symphony Orchestra on March 29, 2013. The reason why I choose this concert is because the cellist gave me a very impressive memorize so that I could still recall almost everything from the concert by his playing. Another reason is that there is barely to see some Chinese cellist to play with great orchestra, but Wang Jian has done it extremely well. Wang Jian played the cello concerto in A minor composed…

Throughout the piece, the delicate balances of romanticism and classicism, of virtuosity and restraint, and of darkness and warmth are maintained and showcased. Beginning with the mighty and tragic Maestoso, the angular first theme is introduced by the orchestra alone. Harmonies twist and intertwine, weaving…

Choirs were to a great extent the opposite of the orchestras. Contrary to orchestras that emphasized mainly on instruments, choirs based their compositions on vocals. They were composed of many members, who would range to several hundreds. Choirs are still in existence today in some settings such as churches (Keller…

Having to compete somewhere it's fun and also to experiences. I have seen people competing and I also competed in High School. One of my competition was with the orchestra. My positive main to compete was my clarinet, working as a team, and to succeed. Having to play the clarinet, in high school was an amazing experience. I started playing the clarinet scenes I was a freshman. I sing up for a flute but it didn't work I also try the saxophone, but I end it up with the clarinet. I started playing…

On Tuesday, October 6th, the Allen High School Philharmonia & Sinfonietta orchestra performed Concerto in D Major by George Phillip Telemann and arranged by McCashin. They also performed, The Explorers by Keith Sharp. The first piece Concerto in D major starts off with a unified chord that slowly transitions to a dissonant chord that the entire ensemble plays, to build tension, which almost instantly is released and becomes a consonant D major chord. The music then transitions into its…

enthusiastic about practicing, but I stuck with it for nine years. After my lessons stopped I continued to pursue piano as a serious hobby. I have accompanied my high school choirs, orchestras, and bands numerous times in concerts and competitions. Shortly after I started piano lessons I joined my school 's orchestra and choir class. I chose to play viola and sang soprano in the choir. I loved my music classes, and always looked forward to the rehearsals and performances. For a while I have…
