explores the changes within concert audience in recent years and how the orchestra is plays both innovative and archaic roles within the community.

Haitink’s concert on Beethoven’s sixth symphony, I was expecting to see the original work of composer. The symphony has qualities of both the classical and romantic periods and illustrates composer’s radical ideas as well as highlighting his classical influences. Its programmatic nature is the main romantic feature though the dramatic dynamic changes, as well as the use of percussion and brass, are also
The concert took place on November 4, 2016 in Meymandi Concert Hall, Raleigh. In concert, I had enjoyed a lot. Especially the Saxophone and a piano subsequently switched the tune of the tune as if they were dancing like two lovers. As the saxophone took the airs as well as the piano and other instruments within the ensemble were in accompaniment for the love of the tune the texture altered within the tune. The tempo, which was always steady appeared to get quicker like a pulse by the climax of the
Prompt One Although we mostly studied classical art music in Introduction to Music, the course has influenced my perception of classical art music and more importantly, impacted how I approach music in general. Before the class, I would have described art music as boring and dingy; however, after learning a plethora of musical elements, and after thoroughly studying the context of each piece, my interest for the genre grew along with my appreciation for it.

Introduction to Music, my perception of classical art music has changed and more importantly, the course has impacted how I approach music in general.

These ideas are still present in some cases, but with the absence of tonality and a larger focus on dissonance, the audience can have trouble devoting attention to the film itself. This causes modernist music to be jarring and distracting from the narrative, but that doesn’t mean it’s always avoided. In
the classical tradition, to what extent can creativity be introduced within this performance? This ongoing debate will be discussed in my essay with reference to Nicholas Cook’s novel, Music: A Very Short Introduction and other sources. It is interesting that Cook never claims to be able to categorise music. In the Foreword he states that he is attempting to avoid ‘’the basics’ (musical notation, harmony, counterpoint, rhythm or form)’and instead writes about society’s perception of music and how
The Importance of Music in Life Music is an important component for all people to posses in their lives. A child should be introduced to music at a very young age. The introduction of every type of music from classical all the way to modern rock is important. This gives a child the ability to form their own opinion to what they might like the best. Classical music can teach a child every aspect of music including, harmony, themes, dynamics, polymeters, and polyrhythms. These are the components

When the Baroque era ended around 1750, we were introduced to an evolved musical world: The Classical Era. Beginning in 1750, revolution severely altered the way politics and social order were handled and discussed. Twenty-five years later in fact, we entered the American Revolution, and fourteen years after that, The French Revolution began. Around that time we were also introduced to Benjamin Franklin’s electricity discoveries and Edward Jenner’s discovery of small pox vaccination that would later
