Samul Performance Review Paper

For this Assignment, I will be analyzing an exam from my MUS351: Elementary Methods Course. This exam constituted as the midterm covering an array of topics pertaining to the foundation of teaching music to students in primary grades. I did rather well on this exam, missing only two questions. In this analysis, I will discuss how I prepared for the exam, where the question came from, the type and topic of the questions I missed. Analyzing these things will allow for me to develop a better study plan to benefit my performance on future exams.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website serves as a wealth of information on prevention and treatment for many different topics. The website contains a section on cultural awareness for each of the topics. Stevens and Smith (2013) state “counselors need to gain an understanding of the history and background of their clients to address their issues within the context in which they are present” (p. 335). Cultural diversity is a major component in the United States today, therefore treatment and prevention plans need to account for this diversity in order to help these populations. Upon perusing the topics on the SAMHSA website, I chose to explore information on suicide prevention. Under the cultural awareness

On the night of November 11th, I attended Divahn’s performance at the Gamble Auditorium. Their music featured Middle Eastern, Latin, and Indian styles, and the vocals were sung in various native languages of the Middle East. Although I could not understand the lyrics, the music was able to demonstrate the emotions of the piece effectively, so that I could understand the content of the music.

In this concert, Simi Strings Orchestra, there were twelve performers, who were teenagers and adults, in the ensemble. Most of them were adults, which some of them were college professors and professionals, who sometimes performed in a small orchestra. There were only two college students who had ever been participated in their high school and college orchestras. The instrumentation of this

Besides John Armstrong’s son are a handful of professional-level students more than qualified to meet the challenges and expectations with interpreting John Armstrong’s compositions. The challenges for these performers include exploring atmospheric colours and timbres while showing the overall narrative and dramatic flow of the piece. Like every composer, John Armstrong only asks his performers “to make me sound good!” and the line-up of performers on November 5th will most certainly be apt to the

The performance program was chosen to stretch the soloist in ways unfamiliar and uncomfortable while still showing abilities previously acquired. The program is as follows: The Osborne Rhapsody for Bassoon by, Sonatine by Alexander Tansman, Concertino by Paulo Mignone, Bassoon Sonata by Gustav Schreck, and Hungarian Fantasy by Carl von Weber.

Though, in spite of waves of cultural differences causing ebbs and flows of the rising and falling of war and peace, the cohesive effects of music seems to ignore cultural differences by giving them reasons to celebrate their commonalities. And the almost infinite number of sounds that creates the musical kaleidoscope of jazz perhaps best embodies music’s cohesive elements.

Having the Merasi, master musicians of Rajasthan, perform live at Colby College provided students and faculty with a cultural experience unlike any that I have attended. The Merasi, from the Thar Desert in Pakistan, have found great success through their music despite their status in the caste system. As a family group, they have been able to gain the international attention that they needed to establish both music and literacy education for their people back home. Although very few people in our audience could understand their lyrics, the emotion and physical movements of the musicians were effective in conveying the overall themes of their songs. From watching this live performance of Rajasthani music, I was able to observe how the music itself, the behaviour of the musicians and audience, and the function of the music interacted to transport a small part of Rajasthan to the Pugh Center giving the audience a glimpse into its culture.

In the mid 70s, Reich had steadly expanded his knowledge of different musical systems, studying the form of Balinese Gamelan with I Nyoman Sumandi, who is a Balinese musician in residence at the American Society for Eastern Arts Summer Program at the University of Washington, in Seattle between 1973 and 1974, and learning the technique of traditional Hebrew chanting between 1976 and 1977. Based on these diverse non-western studying, after all, the Reich's ensemble performed and recorded ‘Drumming’, ‘Six Pianos’, ‘Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, And Organ’ and they became pivotal acheviement in his career.

Most if not all of the musicians of this culture make up the music as they go. Instead of having music passed down from generation to generation based off of healing rituals they enjoy alternating rhythm and notes to improvise works for the enjoyment of viewers. Because Indian culture has existed for over 5,000 years, “the timbres, forms, and instrumentation of Indian pop music continue to evolve in extremely varied and creative ways.” (p.276) The appreciation of these unique qualities greatly influence the Indian culture and are a common form in most compositions. Our textbook states, “A concert in South India is marked by a string of songs, each in a specific rage and tala. While the song may be performed alone for its own intrinsic beauty, the principle musician may choose to perform one or more forms of improvisation before, within, or after the rendition of the song.”

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.
