What is the purpose of life? Making money, travel around the world, or peaceful? It is about all of these three reasons or more than that, and the best word to describe about our purposed of life is “joy”. Why people want to get rich, why people like to travel around the world, and why people love peaceful? Because they are looking for the word “joy”. Maybe, the regular people like us could not fully understand the word “joy”, but Ludwig van Beethoven, who is one of greatest world composer, would completely understand the world “joy”, which let him wrote the Ninth symphony with the song “Ode to Joy”. I am feel so lucky when North Carolina symphony brought the Beethoven’s Ninth symphony right on time for my music concert review.
The symphony

125, “Choral” of Beethoven. It had lead by conductor Grant Llewellyn, baritone Jr. Reginald Smith, tenor Anthony Dean Griffey, Soprano Rebecca Evans, and mezzo – soprano Paula Murrihy. There is a purpose for conductor Llewellyn decided to choose Metamorphosen: A Study for 23 Solo String of Richard to start up. Metamorphosen is a despair of Strauss about Nazi Germany. Every instruments have its own melody line, some other can play double for emphasis reason, but it all get together nicely. The fusion of all instruments made the song more earnestly and regret about Strauss and society around him. The end of the song is the moment Strauss connected from Beethoven’s “Eroica” symphony, which lead to second part of the concert The Ninth Symphony. At the time, Beethoven wrote the symphony, he is deaf and beset. The unfulfilled of commission was the motivation for Beethoven finish the Ninth Symphony. The ideas for the Ninth Symphony started around 1817 – 1818, and Beethoven wants to have a couple symphony, which has the choral finish from the text of Greek mythology. Finally, the symphony got finish in 1824 and it became one of the most famous symphony of Beethoven.
The first movement of the Ninth symphony is allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, which is a relly common type in clacsical music at that time. The movement is fast, but it not really fast.

The four movement had written with presto – allegro assai type. It began with fast melody, strong and loud. Sometime in the beginning of the movement, I heard the similar sound with the first movement, second movement, and the third movement. Would Beethoven actually have inserted a tiny piece of music from each movement into this final movement to recall for the entire of symphony? Before the movement get to the point of choral, there is a same melody keep playing with different tempo. It was louder and louder until the sudden point, it just repeats the same melody and same tempo. The moment baritone sang was surprise me. His voice is strong, deep, warm, and loud; the sound from all the instruments was not overwhelm him. The instruments are a perfect background to make his voice become brighter. Soprano voice is another voice make me love. I like the way she sang, the sound from her voice could every other voices in the concert hall. Soprano voice is extremely high, but it does not make me feel uncomfortable. She also knows how to control her voice to make it implement into the group of people to make the movement become remarkable. Once the last piece of music end, there is a longest clap I had ever seen in my life. The audience appreciated for all the work of these musician had done, for the beautiful music, and for a greatest composer.
This symphony is an awesome
The fourth piece had not only used instruments, but it also used a magnificent chorale. The fourth piece seemed to have four separate movements in itself as the fourth movement first starts in a low tone and tempo. Then suddenly the music changes into an adante tempo, and then at last the music becomes allegro, as well as fortissimo as the music is not only loud, but its tempo is rapid. Also at the end of the fourth movement when the choir is singing, and the musicians are performing as well, the music becomes extremely rapid and fast compared to the rest of the
Beethoven contributed one of the most significant musical developments through his fifth and ninth symphonies. He used a musical motive as the basic of his entire piece. (Beethoven described the motive as “Fate knocks at the door”.) It was the first time in history that anyone had done such a thing for a multi-movement piece. Beethoven’s contribution has become a norm in the music world, even to this day.
“Symphony No. 9”, better known as “Ode to Joy”, was written by Beethoven in the years 1822 to 1824. The performing forces in this piece are an orchestra, four vocalists, and a chorus. The genre of the piece is symphony. The piece is comprised of four movements. The first movement is in Allegro form. While the second movement is in Scherzo form. The third movement is in Adagio form. Finally, the fourth and final movement is in Recitative form. The key for Beethoven’s ninth symphony is D minor. The tempo changes frequently throughout Beethoven’s symphony, “Ode to Joy”. In the first movement the tempo is allegro. During the second, the tempo is molto vivace. In the third movement the tempo is adagio molto e cantabile. Then, in the fourth and final movement the tempo changes a couple of times. The tempos that appear in the fourth movement are presto; allegro molto assai (Alla marcia); andante maestoso;
The symphony is in four very powerful and entertaining movements. The first movement begins in the pianissimo tone with the strings section, but quickly enters the fortissimo tone with the introduction of the woodwind, brass and percussion sections. The dynamics of the musical melody varies throughout the movement moving from crescendo to decrescendo modes. The first movement reminds you of a raging storm from soft blowing winds to thunder and lighting. The audience is mesmerized by this first movement of the sonata.
Sometimes, these two voices will overlap, creating a sense of a fugue, where two melodic lines flow at different times along the same stream. Although he breaks up the soft legato sequences with loud, harsh staccato chords for contrast, Beethoven generally preserves a milddynamic in part B which also helps obscure the switch from the transition to part B. Infact, a loud dynamic actually seems to signal a transition out of part B; in B_2’, the B_2 theme is repeated in sequence, getting louder, faster, and higher pitched until it climaxes.We expect this to become the cadence that will resolve the exposition and allow us tomove on to the development. However, it is a false ending; B_5 again resumes a moderate tempo and is played primarily by the woodwinds; the strings enter in littlespurts with loud, crisp notes until they join the woodwinds and the entire orchestra plays together to conclude the exposition.
The finally movement and my favorite of the four movements, Beethoven lets the cellos and basses 'talk' in a gruff recitative that passes judgment on the themes of the first three movements. The recitative then halts and slowly, out of this darkness, the 'joy' theme is heard. As the theme commences, the other instruments of the orchestra become involved and the theme is evolved into its ideal instrumental form. But what does
Sin, secrets, guilt, and shame are unfortunate occurrences that every person will encounter during a period of their life. The shame inflicted upon an individual will lead them down a difficult path, however in the end it will result in new knowledge and lessons essential for life. As shown in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, public shaming pushes characters such as Hester and Dimmesdale farther from the Puritan society that they had once considered family, it encouraged them to feel shame for their sins such as adultery and remain truthful in a society full of secrets, however in the end it opens their eyes to the world outside of their sins allowing them to grow and help others as well. First, being made victims of public
Symphony number nine in D minor, Op.125, the "Choral" is the outstanding piece accompanied with a vocal chorus. Beethoven began concentrated work on the piece in 1822. It occupied him throughout 1823, and he completed it in February 1824. The first performance took place at the Karntnertor Theater in Vienna on May 7, 1824. The deaf composer stood on stage beating time and turning the pages of his score, but the real conducting was done by Michael Umlauf. The first American performance was given on May 20, 1846 by the New York Philharmonic under George Loder. Its performance can never be an ordinary event, just another concert, it is something special because the feeling you get inside when you hear
Beethoven draws the listener in by providing multiple repetitions of the short fast-slow-fast waves. As I listened, I took notes about things I felt while hearing this. I felt like each time the symphony almost mellowed out with the violins, the listener was relaxed, but then the “fast” part came which included more instruments, and I felt awakened. When all the instruments came to a perfect harmony, it was soothing and satisfying to hear. I could also instantly see the emotions painted on conductor Claudio Abbado’s face as the wave increased in volume before mellowing out
The fourth movement is titled “thunderstorm” and is a romantic movement. It is in episodic form (a format of the romantic period). It is extremely programmatic. The movement depicts a thunderstorm through the use of the timpani that creates the rumble of the thunder and the punctuated sforzando chords that create a harsh lightning (for example in bar 21). These programmatic features are romantic traits and show Beethoven’s ability to push the boundaries of the style he was contained to. The use of percussion and brass in a dominant role is also a romantic feature. There are multiple dramatic dynamic changes throughout the movement ranging from pianissimo to fortissimo, which is unusual for the classical period. The movement also exercises dissonance and the melody is unresolved, a
Throughout the first few weeks of working on the Mental Heath Unit at Victoria Hospital, I was exposed to many new and different situations in regards to patient care. One situation in particular that stuck out to me occurred during my first week when I was working with a patient who had schizophrenia and paranoia. During this time, I was required to give this gentleman his intramuscular (IM) depot injection of Invega Sustenna, which assists in managing the symptoms of schizophrenia. For confidentiality reasons, this patient will be referred to as Roger for the remainder of the reflection.
As noted by Robert Hughes, "Beethoven was not only the embodiment of all that was before him, but also of that which was yet to come" (Hughes 486). The truth of this may be seen by comparing Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C Minor to Haydn, the father of Symphony, and his 95th in C Minor. While Haydn's symphony is both playful and dramatic, Beethoven's symphony is grander both in terms of scale and vision. He expands the size of the orchestra to incorporate the sounds swirling around, underlying, and depicting the arrival of Fate in a rhythm-driven, thematic symphony that takes Haydn's form and runs with it as though to the top of a mountain peak. This paper will analyze the symphonies by movement, according to form, size, structure, tonalities, melodies, orchestral sound and overall mood and effect.

It’s fast at beginning and then turn to soft but it’s turn back allegro in the end. The whole piece is melancholy but romantic. The second piece Violin Sonata in D minor, Op. 108 the first movement is allegro also as a cantilena. The second movement is adagio that is gentle, the third movement piano point the main theme. The third piece Intermezzo in E-flat major for Piano, Op. 117. The main rhythm is persistent. The style is clam, slow an soft. The forth pieces is Rhapsody in E-flat major for Piano, Op. 119. The first movement’s rhythm is long-short-short, the cadence bar is short-short-long. The second part is quite at fist, louder at next and comes quite again. This piece of style is romantic. The last one is Clarinet Quintet in b minor, OP. 115. It’s romantic,too. Clarinet Quintet a total of four movements, the first movement relative to the most complex, the most instense emontional expression. It’s began with the violin playing. Then the second movement introduced by the clarinet, the mood comes depresssed again as the first movment. It’s slower paced and gentle. The third movement begins treacle, but each of his last melody often attributed to serious and contemplative. Fourth movement is characterized by the varuation. It’s has same sweet melody which resembles the second movement. At the end is with a loud chord whcih ultimately fades away. The instrumentation of the orchestra is violin, viola, cello and clarinet.
The first movement of Beethoven’s 9th is quick, driving forward and at times giving the feeling of rushed urgency, while maintaining a composed majesty beneath the surface. This is reflected in the original tempo marking of allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, meaning literally “quickly but not too fast, a little majestic”. The movement begins with a the strings playing intervals over a quiet string tremolo, reminiscent of an orchestra tuning themselves before a performance. This crescendos to a loud and bombastic introduction of the first movement’s main theme and the introduction of the brass section. The first movement also makes heavy use of dynamic contrast, with large crescendos that swell in time with the music and diminuendos that quickly reign in the impressive power of the full symphony orchestra. The first movement also follows a traditional sonata form, with the main theme having variations throughout the roughly 18 minutes of play time. Personally, I found the ending of the first movement
