Performance

September 7, 2017 GILBERT JACOB S. QUE “There is the popular view that the individual offers his performance and puts on his show for the benefit of other people'” (Goffman). In that statement, there is already an implication made that the individual is linked with the audience. This is a popular view that is applicable to quite a number of people. However, should the performer value his performance and believe that this reality he creates is a true reality, there is delusion in the audience…

I agree with Mr. Ross’s view that the modern classical-music performance have too much of a rigid set of etiquettes. Concerts must become more flexible “in order to accommodate the myriad shapes of music of the past thousand years.” I’ve only been to a single concert in my life and that was when I was young during an elementary music class school trip to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for a viewing of “Peter and the Wolf.” As such I cannot say that I remember having experienced any rigidness and…

The Essence of Joy Recently Penn State choir, Essence of Joy, performed their first concert of the year. The concert was live streamed, which provided others, myself included, who were unable to attend to experience the concert. This was a concert that included works of various composers and songs that all complemented each other well. With its gospel-esc sounds, the choir brought soul and rhythm to each piece of music they performed. The concert featured various composers and the majority of…

While I think that all of us did really utilize values of improvisation, I would like to discuss Larissa’s performance during the show. One thing that Larissa has really done well all semester but especially during the show is commit to the scene. One example of this was during the Gibberish Poet game where Larissa was the interpretive dancer. Larissa really committed to her role and did not hold back, which made all the difference. One of the most important techniques in effective improvisation…

forte. The piece had a sharp timbre which gave me a jolt up my spine occasionally. Due to it being a solo piece, it had a monophonic sound which was fantastic to listen to. This is because, I could focus solely on the violin. Additionally, the performance provided a nice balance to the previous pieces, which included more than a single…

echoed in the accompaniment, and then slowly rises to a passionate declamation, and then returns to the earlier theme. The two parts are utterly seamless, each perfectly complementing the other. “Panis Angelicus” by Cesar Franck was Leonell third performance. César Franck was born on December 10, 1822, in Liege, Netherlands. He entered the Liege conservatory at age 8 and later attended the Paris Conservatory. He left early to perform with his brother, which was ultimately a setback for his…

After reading about P. T. Barnum and his show business, I was intrigued by how the public responded to exotic acts and how Barnum’s understanding of this desire made him a fortune. Since my young age, whenever there is a circus performance on the television, I am always most eager for the magician’s part. There is something out summoning a rose from thin air that captivates me much better than a clown’s juggling. Hence, in this paper I will explore the history of magic to seek to understand how…
