Concert Report On Music Concert

Dr. Carol Williams’s organ plays were just fantastic. Despite the fact that seeing the instrument called, “organ” was my first time, it was pretty impressive how that instrument worked. All the pedals and the three layers of keyboards were just as complicated as a calculus math problem. The concert was played at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion at Balboa Park. The surrounding was not too bad. Although the concert day was Sunday, it was quite crowded. Besides the crowdedness, the surroundings were not too rough. All ages were welcome to seat and enjoy the sounds of organ. I saw mostly old aged audiences and I saw a little amount of college aged audiences with the music report information on their hands.

The first and opening piece was a Roman Carnival Overture, Op. 9, by Hector Berlioz. In major tonality, classical piece started with vivace statement, and then slow introduction progressed later in allegro. It featured an independent solo that was performed with an English horn and gradually changed dynamics throughout the classical movement.

The concert began immediately with the Chamber Orchestra’s performance of Mozart’s “Divertimento in D major”, K. 136. This piece consisted of the 3 movements, Allegro, Andante, and Presto, which follows the fast-slow-fast arrangement typical of the Classical era. Divertimento is one of Mozart’s “Salzburg” symphonies, which are symphonies performed by only string sections. After the performance of this piece, the conductor commented on the 2nd violin’s part, and drew the conclusion that Mozart must have saved that role for either himself or an enemy. The second piece performed by the Chamber Orchestra was Bach’s “Suite No. 2 in B minor”, BWV 1067. This piece did not require a conductor, and also featured a flute soloist, Maisa Peters. Their

The pieces played in this performance were Humoreske by Bernard Alt, Ecos Armonicos by Craig H. Russell, Concerto Grosso by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Finlandia by Jean Sibelius, Concerto for Bass Tuba by Ralph

The “Mozart and Brahms Masterwork Concert” featured symphonies from composers like Thomas Adès, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Johannes Brahms. In addition, Johannes Brahms, Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98, is a unique symphony that captured my attention.

On the second of March, I attended a Classical music concert at the Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles Pierce College. The Pierce College afternoon concerts are sponsored by the Associated Students Organization. The event I attended featured the Belrose Duo. The duo consists of David Garrett and his wife Junko Ueno Garrett. David Garrett played the cello and the viola da gamba and Junko Ueno Garrett played the piano. They performed three compositions from two different periods, the Baroque and the Romantic. Garrett performed Sonata V from “L’echo du Danube,” Op.9 by Johannes Schenk on the viola da gamba. The composition consisted of six movements. Junko Ueno Garrett performed Nocturne Op. 27 No.2 in D flat Major and Nocturne Op.9 No. 3

This assignment was to perform a successful concert with the music that we were taught in class. Mr. Sabatini provided us with four pieces to perform. Each of them had their own unique style, rhythms, and mood. The assignment was both group work and individual. We each individually contributed to our chorus’s sound and then came together as a group during the final concert. To learn the music, Mr.Sabatini taught us the proper pitches and rhythms in order to successfully complete each piece. We were taught certain techniques to help improve our overall singing and sound as a group. It took us approximately two and a half months to learn the pieces. I met PGE’S PS and PR1 by successfully completing this assignment.

During the evening of February 18, 2016, 75-100 people gathered to listen to seven members of the LHSOM faculty (Thrice-Seven Ensemble) perform three works (Brettl-Lieder, Drei Klavierstucke, Op. 11, Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21) of composer Arnold Schoenberg. Upon arrival to the concert each member of the audience was given a program listing the title of the performance, the names of the musicians and conductor performing the night’s concert, and the actual works being performed. The program also included an insert on which there was an accounting of Brettl-Lieder (Cabaret Songs) text in English. Most audience members began arriving about 15-20 minutes prior to the concert and appeared to be reviewing the program. This was an indicator that

The two pieces that I heard at this concert was Mozart’s symphony No.41 for the first half until intermission and the second half of the concert was Holst “The Planets.” I found this interesting because these are two different types of pieces stylistically but had the same running theme of the solar system and planets. The first lasted around 35 minutes from start to finish and the second was a little over 40 minutes.

The first piece for the day was Mozart’s Requiem composed in 1791. Requiem’s scoring is for Orchestra, chorus

The first concert I attended was my high schools forty- sixth annual Rock N’ Roll Revival. The show is based off a show back in the late sixties and early seventies by the same name that a few students saw. Little did those students know that the show would turn into phenomenon when they decided to bring it back to Sherwood High School. When the show started it was more like a talent show with MC’s and the talents consisting of rock n’ roll songs. This style of the show lasted until Rock N’ Roll Revival #11 when it was decided to cut the comedy acts of the MC’s and focus all of the attention on the music. This new direction into the realm of pure rock n’ roll has stood the test of time and for a good reason.

On 5/7 at 4pm I went to SDSU to see my first symphonic concert. The SDSU School of Music and Dance presented to us with both a concert band and a symphonic band. The first half of the wonderful show the concert band played 4 pieces of music, and the second half the symphonic band played another 4 pieces of music. The 8 pieces of music were as follows; Fanfare of the bells by Mark Lortz, Instant Concert by Harold Walters, Among the Clouds by Brian Balmages, Overture for Winds by Charles Carter, Inchon by Robert W. Smith, Election Day by Frank Ticheli and Angels in the Architecture also by Frank Ticheli.

The first music was “Piano Trio D major, Op. 70, No.1, “Ghost Trio” this music was made by Lidwig Van Beethoven. Before the Trio playing, Mis.Valerie Walden who plays cello explained about this music. That is good for the young or new audiences for the concert. Beethoven is very famous comporser in

The second piece played was the Overture and it was written by Kurt Weill. Kurt Weill was born the son of a cantor in Dessau. He made a name for himself in Berlin during the 1920’s and 30’s while working with Bertolt Brecht. His Overture

The concert I watched online was Symphony No. 9 “From the New World” composed by
