MUS 150 Choral Recital Hour

The first part of the concert played Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, also known as Fantasia, and it lasted less than 30 minutes. It opened with a lady named Anastasia Markina, and she introduced the piece with a slow virtuoso playing of the piano, to which later on the strings, cellos and basses, enter. Then Markina played an ornamented version of the choral theme, to

The play was performed at the lovely Peace Center. The Peace Center, which is a great fine arts theatre in downtown Greenville. Has a stage that is known as a Proscenium stage with large curtains from floor to ceiling. The sets varied from an office setting with a piano that was where Carol and her husband would write music in the couple’s home. The interesting thing about the set was that it all was centered on and around her piano. The props were mainly the piano which could be seen in every scene. In the office the props also consisted of a desk and some other different items you

When the concert first began, the three instrumentalists walked with energy despite their age. The first song, “Sonata I in G-Major Op. 2, Nr. 1” by Michel Blavet, was a Baroque Sonata. There were five movements and was played by the harpsichord, flute, and cello. All movements of the song were polyphonic because of the three instruments that had different parts and equal importance. In the first movement, I noticed that the flute tended to rise in pitch. In the second movement, I noticed that the melodies often repeated. Throughout the rest of the song the tempo changed from fast to slow and the flute would usually take the lead. On the last movement, the cello and the harpsichord

Broward College, Central Campus Theater in building 6, on Sunday, the 1st of November. The play was performed by Broward College students. The type of stage was Proscenium stage with extended apron. I thought it was a little bit small, but it did not show as a problem. The pre-show was dark and a feel of suspense. I felt excited to see how everything would play out. The play takes place down south of Chicago in the 1950’s.

All is silent, the cars drive by honking in support, men remove their hats and place them ontop their chest. The band director steps onto the podium, raises his arms by tapping his thighs with his hands and slowly bringing them up level to his shoulders. As he raises his arms ready to conduct, our instrument come up to playing position in unison. “One, two” prepping us to play The National Anthem. As people stand in respect, we play the Anthem, the trumpets and trombones in harmony, the tubas carrying the underneath sound, the flutes, piccolos, and clarinets in melody. The cymbols crashing againdt one another, and the percussion adding rhythm

The name of this work is Act One: Youtube Symphony Orchestra @ Carnegie Hall. It lasts for about one hour. This is the first symphony orchestra of its kind. Many things set it apart from all others. Approximately three thousand people from all corners of the globe sent in video tape auditions of their musical talents. From this a total of ninety six people were chosen by " Youtubers". The orchestra consists of both male and female musicians. The attire is all black and formal, such as dresses, suits, etcetera. From certain angles, one can see that the music hall is packed with people. The dim lighting gave great and appropriate ambiance.

I saw the play at the Little Theater on the San Francisco State University campus.

The concert I attended was called the Faculty and Student Recital, which took place in the Cisco Auditorium on April 11, 2017. The music that was on the program was mostly what is called “classical” music, as well as a Chinese Folk Song, an electronic composition, and variations on an Indian Tala. In the classical pieces, the instruments that were used were the violin, the piano, the cello, and the oboe. In the electronic composition, the computer was used to make music. In the Chinese Folk Song, the piccolo was used to imitate the unique timbre of a Chinese flute. In the Indian tala, drums from Ghana were used to imitate the rhythm and sound of Indian drums. The piano, the violin, the cello, and the piccolo all originate

1. Discuss the use of music in Catholic and Protestant worship practice, from the development of polyphony, through the music of J.S. Bach. In so doing, discuss the shift in responsibility for musical development from the Catholic Church to the Lutheran Church.

The play was a black box set arranged to an arena stage, which is where the performers are surrounded by all four side by the audience for a more intimate experience. My first impression of the theatre was surprised. There was soft music playing and very dark with only overhead lights. The lights had an American flag gobo outlined on the ground. The audience

The oratorio and cantata of the eighteenth century were both linked, unlike opera, to religious themes. Although intended for very different uses and circumstances of performance, all three genres contained musical commalities. Not surprisingly, the three genres would

This concert is performed in the Avery Fisher hall within the Lincoln Center in New York City. It was performed on July 29, 2008. The orchestra that is performing is the 42nd Mostly Mozart Orchestra. The conductor is Louis Langrée. The two pieces being performed in this concert is Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde.

The first half of the concert was only instrumental. There were two violins, two violas, and two cellos. They sat on stage with the violins one my right, then the violas in the middle, and the cellos on the end. The violins played a few songs solo. The second half of the concert was only the choir and a piano. Their performance started with the song Daybreak. The song Daybreak also had a few girls playing percussion, one of them had a tambourine. Using SHMRG, the Harmony of most of the choirs songs were very homophonic. The Melody of most of the songs were mainly slow, though a couple songs were very fast, and upbeat.

Culture: I was interested in the definition of “Latin.” I find it interesting because of all the confusion that comes about when this subject is discussed. Many groups of individuals claim to be “Latin”, making it difficult for some culture to take sole possession of “Latin” music.

The performance that I attended was of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra playing the Overture to The creatures of Prometheus, by Beethoven, the Concerto for Orchestra by Kodaly, and Harold in Italy, by Berlioz. The orchestra was conducted by David Currie, and I think that they played very well overall.
