Morgan Crump Dance 264 3/14/22 Guided Listening Experience: Pattern Work One: Symphony Serban Nichifor, Moments , 2014. 5 Sections. Instrumentation: Electroacoustic. Organ, 4 hands. 1. Moments I - Triple, Lontano 2. 4.21 Moments II - Quadruple, Allegro Molto 3. 7.54 Initials - Quadruple, Largo 4. 10.31 Dance Steps - Triple, Grazioso 5. 13.44 The True Heaven Is In Us - Triple, Estatico The more I familiarize myself with the listening platforms I have access to within the university, the more information I find that often leaves me more perplexed than I was before. In this specific case, I found that the piece style is categorized as Modern. When I listen to these sections, the words that come to mind are far different from my traditional definition of “modern”. The only section within this symphony that gave me some clarity as to why it belonged in the modern style category was Dance Steps. The pattern was not only clear and easy to follow, but it also resonated with my thoughts on other songs that resided in this same category. Work Two: Sonata Leoš Janáček, 1.X.1905 , 1905. 2 Sections. Instrumentation: Piano, 2 hands. 1. Predtucha (Foreboding) - Triple, Con Moto 2. Smrt (Death) - Duple, Adagio My favorite movement of the two sections by Leoš Janáček was Smrt , meaning death in Czech. As I dove deeper into the meanings and intentions of the composer for his Sonata, I found that it was created to honor the memory of a killed student. The more specific information surrounding this circumstance I personally left to be unknown and respectful of the affected loved ones. Having this piece of information though still allowed me to experience this raw and emotional form of expression. Though it was composed and performed over a century ago, the

unfortunately relatable topic of inspiration feels properly expressed and spoken for in this current time period as well. Work Three: Concerto Samuel Scheidt, Resonet in Laudibus , 1635. 1 Section. Instrumentation: 2 Trumpets, 2 Trombones. 1. For Brass Quartet - Quadruple, Allegro Although it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to just one piece, I have to say that the section, For Brass Quartet , was my favorite movement in this concerto. As I was listening to the musical piece, I thought to myself, “Wow! This sounds like something you’d hear at a ball with courting and gowns and royalty.” I later turned back to the notes I had taken about this piece to realize that it was composed in a time period where that didn’t have to be imagined through fairytale books and romance movies. Samuel Scheidt was very successful in bringing the essence of this romanticized lifestyle into his piece. Work Four: Chamber Music César Franck, Quintette en Fa Mineur , 1880. 3 Movements. Instrumentation: 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Piano. 1. Molto Moderato Quasi Lento - Quadruple 2. Lento Con Molto Sentimento - Triple 3. Allegro Non Troppo, Ma Con Fuoco - Triple My favorite movement in this specific example of chamber music, being Quintette en Fa Mineur by César Franck, was the third section titled Allegro Non Troppo, Ma Con Fuoco . Could the reasoning be mostly supported by the fact that it reminds me of Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov… it's definitely possible! There is a beauty to this type of music that both overwhelms and excites me. As much as I value the beauty of simplicity within the art of dance, I find that the musical pieces that draw me in most have a much different approach in their composition and overall nature.
