Descriptive Essay About A Organ Concert

For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a large attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with three friends, who I convinced by telling it would be interesting to see

The music played throughout all of the concerts adhered to be diverse. The instruments, the individuals performing, and the conductor all proved to be outstanding. The concerts proved to be interesting as I witnessed them, first hand.

This afternoon at 12:30, I went to the listening hour, a free noontime concert, at the Music Building. The concert of the day is SJSU Saxophone Studio and Dr. Victoria Lington’s Saxophone Ensemble Concert. Since it is just a one-hour noontime concert, most of the students there just where their t-shirts and jeans to the concert.

The last piece is Rondo, composed by Zdenek Lukas (1928-2007). All of the music performed today is classical music. Only the first and third piece play by alto saxophone with piano accompaniment. And the second, fifth and sixth piece is quartet that include soprano, alto, tenor and baritone. At the concert, I think I am a referential listener. I would think of a scene when I heard the music to understand the music and its mood according to the dynamic changing. For example, in the piece of Premier Quartet op. 53, I would image that people are dancing in the ballroom. When I heard the slow tempo, I think that people just began to dance or have the rest during dancing. When I heard a

The concert I attended was titled the “Hope Is On The Way” Concert, performed by the Valley Community Church in Avon. The entire musical group/worship team performed on November 26th. The group performed five songs, ranging from 3 to 10 minutes long. The musical style is passionate and lively to convey the messages sung in order to praise God, religious themes are incorporated with the song, however, the instrumentals played are found in most popular songs. The instruments also convey emotion and ethereal and heavenly elements to encapsulate the mood of the sanctuary (people of the church) and embrace the audience in singing to praise God. The group is also known as the contemporary worship team that consisted of drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals, piano/keys and a violinist. Joyful (The One Who

My first ever concert I went to was one that I did not want to go to. I was seven years old and my parents, being season ticket holders for the Chattanooga Symphony, thought it would be a good experience for me to go. I of course, fell asleep before intermission and ended up sleeping through the remainder of the concert. This would be the first of many symphony concerts I would be dragged to against my will and I only grew to slightly dread going to them less. However by going to these concerts I learned numerous musical concepts and styling that I am now able to pick out in my music tastes even in genres such as rap and hip hop. While as a whole classical music is irrelevant in pop culture music, the use of classical music styles and samples

The name of the singer was Angela who was doing all of the talking for the band. The names of the five songs that were performed were: Trust, Damage, Crush, Ocean, and My city. The piano and guitar were the two instruments that caught my attention; the pianist melody and rhythm was flawless, it made me and the audiences want to move to the rhythm during the concert.

I enjoyed the piano player, Richard most because he seemed to be very talented in his ability to play the piano.

For my first official concert at Stephen F. Austin I attended the Stephen Page guest recital on Monday, October sixteenth. Despite my high expectations for the performance I was sorely disappointed with the concert. I enjoy the sound of the saxophone, but the tone colors produced when combined with the piano as an accompanist ruined it for me.

On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance

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.
