Percussion instrument

amazing. I sometimes go to orchestrated concerts and the performance that I have seen specifically the NYU Symphony and the performances that these students did, was overall really great and flawless. My favorite piece by far and not because I’m instrument bias was, “The Joyful Escape”. The mini solo the clarinetist had was amazing and she didn’t mess up at that part at all. From “Two Chorales” to “Iona Alma mater” that clarinet played as smooth as it can ever be. I thought that you (the…

unexpected rhythms which sometimes make the piece seem off key, an example of this is given at time length 3 Min 14 sec (refer to appendix Seven).

Since it is a jazz orchestra, the genre being played for this specific concert and with this specific group was Jazz song. It also included many solo instrument pieces within the concert while the piano and drums kept the beat, with piano dynamics, by playing “background music”. This didn’t take away from the solos being played by specific instruments and band members but added to them to keep it exciting and appealing, as it would not be conveyed in the best way if it was just only the solo…

1. The first piece of music I listened to for this assignment was Lohengrin, prelude to Act III composed by Wagner. The song was written for a scene for a wedding between a hero and heroine. The instruments in this song include a full orchestra and it is an orchestral piece. In my opinion, the song had a variety of feelings and sounds. For example, there is one part where it is mainly or entirely woodwinds. During this section, the music sounds very peaceful and light. After a while this…

in winter percussion. I don’t like doing homework or studying, but I’m required to do homework. I want to become a doctor or an engineer in the future, but continue playing my instruments. Last year I used the money for many things. I was able to buy my cello which allowed me to continue to…

about the concert hall and the environment, the musicians, the music performed, and instruments used. Concert Environment and Audience Reaction The performance was in Fresno State's Concert Hall. It was a large room with about 300 seats that extended upward facing the stage floor. They had rows of chairs set up for the orchestra to perform on the stage, with music stands in front of the chairs and the big instruments already set up and prepared to play. The lights were bright while the audience…

After the presentation was over, the musicians began to fill the stage; students and professionals alike sat down to their respective instruments, consisting of mostly strings and percussion. These instruments, especially the prominence of blues…
