Recording With The Slovak Radio Symphony

Music during World War II had an impact on America, both on the home front and on troops serving overseas. First off, WW2 encouraged a wide variety of patriotic songs and love songs that focused on separation (with the possibility of the man dying while away fighting). According to an article posted GilderLehrman.com written by Elihu Rose, war inspired patriotic songs such as ““The House I Live In (That’s America to Me),” “There’s a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere,” “American Patrol,” and “This Is Worth Fighting For” (The Glider Lehrman Institute of American History, “The Forties and the Music of World War II”). Because almost every house in America had some way of listening to music, the mass distribution of music had a patriotic effect

Ludwig van Beethoven-Symphony No. 9 performed by the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra on May 9, 2016, was an amazing concert to view with the many pitches and ranges of the instruments and vocalists. I enjoyed the concert more than I thought would. As I am writing this report, I am listening to it once again. This concert report reveals what I saw and heard during the concert with any significant observations.

The famed Czech composer, Antonin Dvorak, was born in a Bohemian village of Czechoslovakia on September 8th, 1841 (Carlson & Smith, 154). After several years of living and learning music in his home village, eventually Dvorak moved to Prague at the age of 16 to continue his education in music. Pursuing his studies diligently, and after working various odd jobs, he eventually became a professor of music at the Prague Conservatory (Pogue & Speck, 64). While in Prague, he married his lovely wife Anna Cermakova in the November of 1873, and was happily married for the rest of his life to her (Encyclopedia Britannica). Performing all over Prague, eventually Dvorak’s incredible work was discovered by the famed composer Johannes Brahms, who recommended Dvorak to Brahms’ publisher Simrock. Simrock took to liking Dvorak’s works so much, that he agreed to publish works like the Moravian Duets in 1876, and the Slavonic Dances in 1878. These works

While I sit amongst the ranks of a stringed beast, my orchestra, I appreciate the small failures made by myself and my fellow musicians as we fly through the twists and turns of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.2, The Little Russian. A missed accidental in measure thirty-one or an unfavorable bowing in need of correction ten measures after G help the ensemble to advance as a whole. My great gratitude for failure did not carry on outside the ranks of a symphony. Failure was the devil in music, a tritone, under my bed. My dad always told me, “Experience is what you have right after you needed it.” I never found the value of a major seventh chord until it was placed within the sheet music of my life.

The orchestra has achieved success through its various Grammy awards and many recordings such as Dvořák cycle of Symphonies No. 6 through 9, works by Gershwin including Rhapsody in Blue and the Piano Concerto, Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 1.

While listening to the video by Doc Severinsen and the Last Cruces Symphony Orchestra, I came to a conclusion that it does not take just one person to make a great performance, but an entire orchestra. The Cruces Symphony Orchestra and Doc Severinsen, in the video, performed magnificently together without any issues internally and externally. Comments were made by other listeners, which most comments were positive with some negative references to the erroneous grammar usage by the publisher of the video from the YouTube website. In another note, the title of the video, as previously mentioned, is Doc Severinsen with the Last Cruces Symphony Orchestra played on August 25, 2007. In addition,

And for this reason, it is necessary to be examined and researched in the future as the studies of his biographies and symphonies. Particularly, the reviews of his work, recording, and books are found repeatedly and fundamental analytical studies from M.A, or M.M for his symphonies were also searched

On April 14, 2016 I attended the Dvorak Cello Concerto at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee. The instruments that were being played were made up of the whole symphony orchestra. In addition, the instrument that was featured was the cello. The reasoning for this is because there was a special guest musician, Susie Yang who was performing with the orchestra and she played the cello. The structure of the performance consisted of three different main pieces of music with different sections within them. In addition, this was the first time I had been to the Tennessee Theatre. The theatre was very intriguing because of the elegance that came with it. The décor was very nice and looked expensive. It is exactly what I imagined when I thought of the setting for a symphony. It was well lit with beautiful crown molding in the celling. In addition, there were lovely curtains blocking an area that looked to be a balcony beside the stage. In addition, there was back drop lights on the walls highlighting pieces that looked to be Grecian Urns.

Dvorak Symphony no. 9 was written in 1893 by Antonin Dvorak who was a late romantic composer. Dvorak grew up in a small village near prague and when he turned 16 he moved there to study music. In 1877, a fellow composer convinced a music publisher to print Dvorak’s music which lead to him being able to tour Europe and conduct his own pieces. In 1901, he was appointed director of the prague Conservatory but died 3 years later. His symphony no. 9 is one of his greatest works but this particular piece is part of his collection, From the New World.

On November 3rd, 2016 I had a pleasure of attending James Levine’s symphony at Chicago Symphony Orchestra. James Levine is an American pianist and conductor, mainly known for being a music director of the Metropolitan Opera. He suffered many health conditions that have put his conducting aside. At the end of 2015, he left his position as a director to become an emeritus of the Metropolitan Opera. One of the interesting facts about Mr. Levine is that many of the sources do not mention is his disability. Mr. Levine is in a wheelchair and needs assistance in order to get to the podium, but his conducting is not effected by this in fact his efforts and dedication put audience into tears every time. On November 3rd, James Levine conducted Mozart’s

On Monday afternoon, January 23rd, I tuned into NPR and classical radio for the 3-4 pm hour of classical music. The radio host was Gigi Yellen who was very knowledgeable about the pieces she had in the playlist for that afternoon. In between pieces she would usually make a comment or two about some extra-musical fact regarding the piece or composer. It was very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed the hour of listening. There was not an expressed theme or organization to the playlist when I tuned in, so I had no preparation for the pieces that were to come. I actually enjoyed this position of surprise and anticipation because it left me with a completely open mind without
