Dallas Symphony Orchestra Analysis

The first movement began with a very strong texture as the music reflected a very powerful theme. It began with the heavy instrumentation from the strings including cellos, violins, and basses. The tempo was also relatively fast and generally upbeat. About a minute and half in there was a very noticeable solo by the violins which was a bit softer in terms of the texture. The melody seemed to be very upbeat and cheerful. Lasting the form of the movement was very well structured and the instruments backed each other up smoothly.

The first piece that was played was Mozart’s Symphony No.40. This is a beautiful piece of music. There are 38 players in the orchestra for this piece. And they all played

the viewers. On the first movement, he takes it at a flowing, warm tempo. The Orchestra

The abundance of harmonies never loses the thread to his audience. Furthermore, the opening of the slow movement inspires the imagination and attention of its listeners. All these elements make this piece one of the most successful concertos in the musical history.

John Williams practically scored a great deal for his 5th well-deserved Oscar Award. The heartbreaking theme of the song was arranged very well and in such a way that it tickles the emotion of the listeners. The authenticity of Williams work astounded lots of artists with the way he evoked the traditional Jewish music of Europe. The grace executed by violin solos are exquisitely rich and evocative providing a firm grounding that counterbalances the composer’s preference for sentimentality and

As I have discussed a little bit earlier that the instrumentation for this music scores, unlike traditional orchestra music, it mostly uses strings. Even though there are no brasses and percussions (usually play the lower register and bass melody) in the film, I think Bernard Herrmann used the strings in a way that they are the whole orchestra. He used the double basses and cellos to play out the bottom line of melody and the violins and violas to play the upper melody. He is using the string ensemble but creates the sounding effect of a whole orchestra. As we discussed during class last week that most composers back into that time prefer to use more neo-romantic style music; however, this music score definitely has nothing relate to romantic style. It is dissonant as I said before, and creates lots of tensions but it does not resolve, and I feel like that is one big thing that makes it different from classical music, and obviously, it applies many uses of atonality. Even at the beginning scene (00:06:02) that when Marion spends her lunchtime with Sam, the music at there is not like typical love theme music. People usually relate strings with love theme; however, I feel like the strings playing at this scene do not tightly apply to the romance element in the film. Comparing to the music that happens later, this one is not that dissonant, it is still unresolved at the

The first piece consisted of piano, violin, and cello. In each of the movements, there were different musical contexts and styles that lead to the creation of a story- the different phases of life. As the entire piece progressed, the tonality shifted from being very light hearted, energetic, and happy in the first movement, to a calmer more relaxing mood in the second, to a more tense and high strung character in the last. There were more noteworthy characteristics of the piece other than the shifts in tone. For example, the piano seemed to remain the dominant instrument throughout the whole piece while the violin and the cello accented it and added depth to the different movements creating a homophonic texture. Throughout the second movement, the violin and cello mimicked the melodies of the piano quite a bit as well. Tempos also varied according to the movement, contributing to their tones. Allegro in the first and last movements created the upbeat and intense

I did a little work before I went to this concert. It had five pieces were performed and they all were composed by Johannes Brahms. The first be played was Clarinet Trio in A minor, Op. 114. This piece was the composer’s

In this movement, every instrument has equal position, asks and answers each other. Also, this movement sounds very intensive and rush. The phrases are more unexpected, people never know what is going to happen next. However, it sounds deeper because of the accidentals. No matter how exciting the music is, they all go back to the main theme every time. In these four movements, they all end in happy ending. It is typically a Mozart music style, very optimistic. This whole work take

After a minor wobble of the director stand, a few adjustments and giggles, Symphony No.1 in D major began. The first movement started off with an eerie introduction, with the first two notes morphing into a birdcall as well as main theme but a very magical sound. It made for a very soothing, romantic time. Throughout the piece I felt as if it told a story as most music does, what I came to believe it was a love story. The Allegro begins in the cello with the second Wayfarer song, “Ging heut morgen Ubers Feld,” (I Walked this Morning over the Field). With a light and happy tone in the beginning as if two lovers had just met, this was the main theme of this movement. Suddenly there was a deep, heavy part maybe one of despair in paradise but that only lasted for a short period as it came to a victorious ending of happily ever after. (Kahn)

The cello has a very sad feel it sounds like something I’d hear from a sad part of a movie, maybe heart break or death. The third movement is called Abyss of the birds it is a clarinet solo the piano, violin, and cello are not a part of this movement. The clarinet starts off with a soft note. It descends as it goes on. the tempo is extremely slow. It sounds fortissimo as it goes on. Then he descends from a higher pitch. He plays a fast melody after the pauses he makes. It goes from fast to slow to fast to slow. The fourth piece is called Interlude. The piano is not in this piece. The cello, violin, and clarinet plays the same notes. It sounds like a soft melody. Then the clarinet plays alone as the violin and cello play as a response. At one point the cello player starts plucking. The cello and violin stay on the same notes. The fifth movement is called praise to the eternity of jesus. The cello starts off with a soft feel, very slow and long notes, Followed with the piano in the back. The piano plays very pianissimo. The amplitude is very low. But the violin plays crescendo. You hear more of the depth as it plays. This gives me a romantic feel, by the way it plays. The piano increases its depth and its amplitude. The fifth movement is called Dance of fury, for the seven trumpets. This movement sounds similar to the fouth movement. All of the instuments play at the same amplitude, notes, and tempo. Creating a soft melody. The amplitude

The concert begins with an orchestral “tutti” of four measures that outlines the eventual main theme of the movement; the cello collects the last three notes and launches forward in an impassive and unaccompanied recitative,

The cello is truly a spectacular instrument to have survived for hundreds of years and to be steadily gaining popularity in the 21st century. The cello is an exceptionally remarkable and charming instrument, and it possesses a long history, as do its players and composers. The cello is a crucial component of orchestras, string ensembles, and various other performing groups, while still maintaining its position as a powerful solo instrument. Its grand, majestic, commanding tones make the cello one of the most elegant instruments to play and perform, and that is why it hold a position as one of the world’s most liked instruments. Though there are many things that I could go on and on about the cello as I write this paper, I will conduct my attention of a few subjects including; The maker of the instrument, The building of the cello, famous cellist and composers including people such as; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig Von Beethoven, Francesco Alborea , and finally Yo-yo ma. Each of these people are incredible cellist who have have mastered this hard instrument, but some have adapted into making it into making marvelous pieces.
