Descriptive Essay On Concert Music

Everyone, one time or another has been on a bad date or two, but when I look back, it is really my fault for being that stupid to go on a second date with him in the first place. As cute as one would think taking a guy to a country concert would be; taking cute pictures with him and getting to ride in a truck, make sure the guy is not flipping crazy. When you are trying to have a good time, and go to a concert do not invite boys who are clingy and childish because they will get butt hurt and throw your keys out their window. Do not be like me. Do not be the girl standing at the Florida fair grounds looking for her keys in the road at 1 in the morning. This is one of those stories that you think would suck now, but we could look back on in 10 years and laugh, well it has been 2 months and I’m still not laughing.

Everywhere a person goes in today's world, there are bound to be differences. Whether it's race, religion, gender or even the music we listen to, diversity is all around us. Being from the rural community that I'm from, people may say it's hard to find diversity. Little do they know, they are a part of an extraordinary, diverse world. For example, I listen to numerous genres of music. However, orchestra music is not one of them. I went out of my comfort zone to listen to the University of Findlay Orchestra concert on November 8, 2015. To say that my eyes were opened is an understatement.

I thoroughly enjoyed this concert from beginning to end. The opening piece, “String Quartet in F Major, K 590”, was both soothing and

My seat was about mid-way down middle level of seats, and almost in line with the center stage. As I observed the room, the first thing I noticed was the pipes of the organ stretching the length of the rear wall. The stage was filled with the members of the symphony warming up, I read my program to get an idea of what the show would be.

     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.

On Wednesday, May 27, 2015, DePaul Symphony Orchestra held their 39th Annual Spring concert at Orchestra Hall of Chicago Symphony Orchestra center from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. When I arrived, I noticed that most of the audiences were formally dressed, including kids, students, adults, and elders. It was really crowded in the room; I estimated that there were over 300 attendees. After taking my seat, I looked around the stage and saw a huge orchestra. All the musicians were dressed in black, and they were still practicing even when their performance was about to start. A woman welcomed the audiences and thanked them for attending the concert. The concert finally begun with a short performance to welcome conductor Cliff Colnot. The instruments that

On October 11th, 2016, I went to the OSU Symphonic Band concert, conducted by Associate Director of Bands, Douglas Henderson. After the OSU Saxophone Octet opened for the concert, the Symphonic Band performed In This Broad Earth, composed by Steven Bryant, Danzon (from Fancy Free Ballet), composed by Leonard Bernstein and arranged by John Krance, Peace and Light Rising, composed by Edward Knight, and all four movements of Second Suite in F, composed by Gustav Holst. The Symphonic Band is the second group between the first group, Wind Ensemble, and the third group, Concert Band. Their instrumentation aligns with the modern concert band style of piccolo, flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, and various percussion instruments to meet the piece’s requirements. The concert took place in the Seretean Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall with a variety of college students and adults in the audience. The OSU Symphonic Band’s concert has allowed me to further understand and use the information I’ve learned in class from observing them play In This Broad Earth, Danzon, Peace and Light Rising, and Second Suite in F Major.

In analyzing a concert, I have chosen the Kaleidoscope concert performed in the Hammer Theatre that of which grasped upon many elements and tones of music throughout a number of periods. To begin, the Kaleidoscope concert was unlike any other concert imaginable, it was truly an effervescent example of the culmination of all music into one elongated performance that exemplified the beauty of music and its ability to draw emotion from its human counterparts. The concert began immediately with an orchestral setting behind an alluring red backdrop. The conductor with supreme confidence, extenuated tempo and effortlessly commanded his musicians, in a manner that can be likened to a general leading his troops into battle. Oboes, Clarinets, Tubas

October 28th was the day of the Latin Music Recital in the Caine Performance Hall. This was only one of many performances that week. Latin is a genre of music that unless I have come across it at other such events I have not heard it otherwise. Thus it is a genre that I had to do some research on in order to better appreciate what I was hearing. This concert was basically split into two parts each part had a main soloist on guitar that was accompanied by other musicians.

​This critique will discuss the performance of The Chamber Singers and The University Singers in concert. This event was presented by the CSUB music and theater department which took place Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at the Frances B. Dore Theatre. For this event, I was well prepared since it took place on a Tuesday evening and I did not have to work. One thing I did differently to prepare myself for this concert was to take a pen and a small notebook to write down notes of what I observed.

I would first like to start this concert review off stating that I do not know really anything about how to play and write music, and all the aspects of getting the melody and harmony right in the music. What might be simple and have a good steadiness throughout the music to me might be elabrate and unsteady to the performer. When I listen to music, I do listen to the music itself but I am more likely to relate to the lyrics so that is my main focus. So for this review, my insight on how the music is may not be that accurate.

I attended a piano four hands concert performed by artists, Sangmi Lim and Dino Mulic. The pair preformed a program consisting of four pieces, Sonata in D Major, K.381. by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Fantasy in F Minor, D. 940 (op. 103) by Franz Schubert, Three Pieces (Elegy, Song, Poco rumbato) by Vladimir Denader, and History of the Tango by Astor Piazzolla.

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.

This has brought to an excitement position to the audience. It was feeling a message that they were sharing with us. The emotion invoked this music was a sense of tranquility. They position they were placed and the color of their clothes were full of energy and excitement. As some point, it made me feel less stressful and calm, knowing I was in a peaceful environment. The sound of instruments did not beat down to harshly but came with an harmonic and flowing sound. In the beginning of every music they performed began with the rumble of shaken and emphatic but it then dissolves into a slow tempo, soft noise. It was an upbeat yet relaxing at the same time. I find this as a cure for stress relieve. The repetitive string sounds of violins and cello guided the viewers through the dreamlike performance. It was a breath taking seeing how they calmly played the instruments as they felt it was part of them when they played with their hands. Following this admirable music came several other music on stage performances by them. The next song they performed was named Quartet in F Minor, Op. 80 . I can say that this music was one of my favorite music I have encounter in the event. The melody was very firm and

The concert I chose to go to was Halsey’s, on October 22, 2017, in Orlando, Florida at the Amway Center. I have been a fan of Halsey, who’s real name is Ashley Frangipane, for four years. Since then, she’s grown from an unknown alternative opening artist doing small 100+ club venues to selling out arena tours with 20,000+ tickets. I’ve seen her four times on four different tours and she never ceases to amaze me with her showmanship and love for fans. Her openers were a pop singer, CHARLIE XCX, a rapper called PARTYNEXTDOOR. I missed the first opening act but managed to catch PARTYNEXTDOOR who I thought was a particularly good choice since Halsey’s newest album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, included songs obviously influenced by her African American heritage and hip-hop roots. Both PARTYNEXTDOOR and Halsey are solo artists who had bands playing in the back during their set. As previously noted, Halsey puts a great deal of thought into ensuring that her fans have the best possible experience when attending her shows. Thus, the stage was set up in a T shape which allowed her to walk down in the middle of the floor between fans during some songs. There was also a B stage directly across from the main stage that she sang two songs on, giving the concertgoers in the back a better view of her. It was evident that Halsey put extensive amount of thought into this tour. She had a confetti cannons go off multiple times throughout the night, she had five or six different outfit changes, and she also had synced lights and LED visuals for every song. The newest addition to her aesthetics, was a trained dancer named TeeTee who would come out on stage during almost every song, also in different outfits. Her and Halsey had matching choreography for at least six or seven songs throughout the set.
