Concert Report Essay

The next song I listened to is called “Suna”. It is written by Timothy Constable and composed by Michael Tilson Thomas. The Style of the music seems to be medieval. The song starts off with a mezzo piano and adagio. It stayed that way pretty much throughout the whole song because this song was very repetitive. There was a part where they used accelerando, but the rest stayed the same until the end. I believe that they used a duple meter. The melody was conjunct and

The next song, “Oopsey Daisey My Sweetheart” was the piece that Dr. Carol Williams wrote. I liked the melodies and harmonies overall. It was very interesting music piece. I wish I could get a contact with her and wanted to ask a few questions about this piece of music. Also the singer, Martha Jane Weaver, sang this song great that both the singer, write of the music, and the player received a great attention from the audiences.

After listening to the three samples of music I decided to pick was Machaut: Ma fin est mon commencement. In this piece is sung with three voices which makes it a polyphony. The piece has a rondeau form giving a song a repetition feel. Out of the three pieces I would say I enjoyed this one the most, because this song has a pleasant feel to is compared to the other ones.

The second piece that is discussed is Toccata in F major, by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is a solo piece that was performed in a unison and dissonant harmony. Surreal coordination and impressive pedal solo was extremely impressive and gave this particular piece a broad spectrum of dynamic change and tempo. Ascending and descending theme constantly repeated throughout this performance, alternating in crescendo and decrescendo, which brought life and movement to a classical piece.

As the man confesses his love to the woman, the music is light-hearted and fairy like. Then, as the woman is standing by the side of the ship alone, a boat comes into view. The music matches the approaching visitors and their mysteriousness. It becomes slow, low, and dark. However, as the people on the boat take the girl the music speeds up and crescendos and then finally tapers off as they leave in the boat.

The second piece was Concerto composed by Alexander Arutunian this is a trumpet piece that had Central Methodist student Kody

The first piece played titled “Two of One” was dominated mainly by trumpet and tenor sax. It has a constant bass line, and it’s accompanied by piano. The overall feeling was swing, which was emphasized by the drum set playing swing notes. It was set up as a big band, and the only electronic

In measures 86, introduction reverse again in the trumpet and brass band to lead andante. Measures 90-94, saxophone melody that leads from first main melody from movement1 to play in andante. Clarinet bassoon, cello and double bass play as a base for Flute, Oboe, Violin 2 playable parody (Imitation) with the saxophone.

The second piece was for string quartet. There were many string tremolos and natural/artificial harmonics.

The beginning of this piece is mainly homophonic in texture as there is always one independent melody. When vocal sings the main melody, other instruments such as drum and piano play the bass lines.

     I chose to do my first concert report on Pearl Jam. The concert took place at Deer Creek the weekend after class started, so it was perfect timing to do this assignment. This was the first time I have seen Pearl, and I thought it was worthy of writing a report on.

The piano accents distinctly which is like Therese’s paces walking towards Carol. A step is an accent. The handheld shot and the music collaborated perfectly producing such an exquisitely sensitive and emotional scene. By the moment their eyes meet, Haynes boldly cut to black. The music ends boldly as well. Eternity in this instant, this ending arrangement makes this love story extraordinary and full of reverie. What will happen after their reconciliation? Another distinct music playing is the tunnel scene. The score of this scene is perfectly showing how the piano can produce both uncertainty and firmness. This scene also does not have any conversation therefore the music assists Carol and Therese to express their unspoken affection to each other. The left and right hands of the piano progress differently. A hand played the vague rhythm, however the other one played a more certain and firm cadence. The score is also mixed with You Belong to Me by Helen Foster & the Rovers. Giving the strongly subjective points of view, Therese and Carol’s emotion plainly be understood from this heartwarming composition. Besides, there are several scenes having the sound of train

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mrs. Keech for all that she does to make sure that we are prepared for the concert as always, but also to thank her for this opportunity for me to step out for a minute or two to say a few words.

Ludwig Van Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is a piece that is extensively well known based on the opening of the first few notes that are played. The pieces’ first 3 quick g’s and 1 long e flat are what this song is well known for (Gutmann, 2). The 5th symphony was first performed on a cold December night, in an unheated theater, with 7 other songs, and by an unknown orchestra put together from the left overs of the war (Lewanski, 2). The conditions of the concert may have been appalling yet this piece is still an exceptionally well-known symphony to this day.

This afternoon, I went to the music concert hall where is located in the music building for the listening hour, a small noon-time concert which is performed by the staff and students from the music majors. Since it is a free noon-time concert, most of the audiences just wear the t-shirts and jeans to the concert. Dresses are not required for the concert. The performance today is given by the Ananda Jazz Ensemble. They have played “Running Away”, composed by Bob Marley; “Madalena”, composed by Ivan Linz; “Conejitos y Ananda”, composed by Abi Romero; “La Bikina”, composed by Ruben Fuentes; and “Chukaro”, also composed by Abi Romero. Because this is a Latin Americdan Journey, all of the music performed is jazz music. All pieces played in the concert are an ensemble of piano, bass, and drums. During the concert, I was trying to be a perceptive listener; I enjoyed the music with concentration and paid attention to the music’s unity and variety, such as the dynamics and tempos. I also tried to associate the music with a picture when I listened to it and understand the emotion in the music.
