The Mariah Carey Christmas Special 2014

The concert I attended was in Dallas Texas in June 5, 2015. The name of the singer or performer is Romeo Santos. He is categorized one of the best bachata singers in till todays date. Bachata is a type of romantic music that is really popular in Latin America. The instruments that are used during this presentation were two guitars, the rest o the sounds were created with computers which now days is more common that singers create their own beats by computer. There were three girls that were singing in some parts after the singer Romeo Santos was done singing. There was not really any special purpose for this concert it was just a simple tour that the singer was doing. In the other hand my personal and special purpose was that I was going to

Suggesting that no one is really special because nothing is truly permanent, in her 2011 essay “Song for the Special” writer Marina Keegan explores the many reasons as to why individuals of every generation seem to find themselves unique, looking at how even at a young age children are exposed to the idea that everyone can make a difference, and then abandons that ideal by revealing the truth that there are so many people on the planet that being “special” is nearly impossible. Her purpose is to reveal just how tiny one individual actually is in the colossal network of the impermanent present day in order to invalidate people’s need to feel special when there is a good chance they may never accomplish anything in the grand scheme of things.

Although there were just the slightest things that could be changed and that is that when Molly's part to sing came her voice was barely heard from the middle seats and also the half time food could have been better but aside from that it was great, amazing, astonishing, expectations met! For the first show attending this year it was great that is why I definitely recommend people should go and have an amazing time like I

The pieces were quite odd for me at the first time, first hearing, but I got used to it at the end of the each piece. “The Gospel Train” and “Little David, Play On Your Harp” were African-American Spiritual songs, which I kind of enjoyed, because I was also, very spiritually active. The last song, “Precious Lord Take My Hand” was very calming songs. I liked the lyrics of the song. The lyrics were very touchy that it made me ponder after the applause.

The music played throughout all of the concerts adhered to be diverse. The instruments, the individuals performing, and the conductor all proved to be outstanding. The concerts proved to be interesting as I witnessed them, first hand.

First, the overall tone in all three pieces was phenomenal, but there were a couple spots during the performance that were not as amazing as the rest of the performance. In the first song, Hamilton by Jerry Brubaker, it was hard to hear certain sections

Christmastime means performances filled with gaudy, poorly composed pieces whose only purpose is to rouse the spirits of audiences. But still, the band manages to add a little spark into each one that has me giving a standing ovation like the rest. It’s perfect as always.

Brittany Russel sang “Nobody Love”, she sang with magnificent range and gave the audience a nice pair of chills down their arms, because you could tell she sang from a personal perspective. She carries this certain style where it’s very raw and emotional. To bring an upbeat into the room Madison Slamka and Gillian Marino’s performance of The Beatles “Come Together” allowed the audience to release their worries and stress of the week that lay behind them. Their duet performance was entertaining and colorful, the two girls added their own style which gave the performance an extra twist on the song. This allowed the girls to not just sing the same style as the original artist, but to take the next step and recreate a clever, melodic song into something that was their own. One of my favorite performances of the night was The A Cappella Group. Their three numbers were amazing and left me wanting so much more. Even though Callie Atkinson was a featured soloist performing Hold my Hand, the groups back up was essential for the emotional feeling of the song. As incredible as their performances were, there was this one distractions to the group. The random movement of their upper bodies drew attention away from the

This song seemed to require the most work from the performers as it used a wide range of dynamics, pitches, and tempo. The last song of the evening, and probably my favorite (not just because it was the last), was “Folk Dances”. This song, just like the first, had a very festive feel to it. The upbeat tempo, lead by the flutes and clarinets, made the song very enjoyable to hear and also had a very happy feel to it, which, in my mind, made it a very appropriate closer. The song started with a great tempo but a relatively soft dynamic. This quickly changed about half way through the song when the dynamics picked up. The loud dynamics with the fast tempo at the end of the song had a very grandiose sound and left the audience with a great taste in their mouths.

My first concert experience turned out to be very different from what I expected. Even though I would not choose to listen to classical music normally, the concert has made me enjoy this type of music more and made me think about how much more there is to music than just lyrics and a

The overall concert offered a wide verity of choir song, from classical pieces composed by Mozart to musical show tunes. The combination of which resulted in an overall enjoyable experience. The concert was not the first choir concert I had ever attended so I went in expecting it to be similar to the high school choir performances I have seen before. I was not expecting the scale of the concert to be so large. Instead of being one choir and an hour-long program there were four groups along with a much longer program. Each of the choir groups had a different dynamic, sound and feel to it. The differences made it interesting.

I think that the performer’s ability was appropriate for their location and for their audience because the tone quality of the musicians sounded very rich and clean. When I listened to the performance, I was able to hear all of the different parts of the piece clearly, which has made me much more conscious of the balance and dynamics of each phrase when I play. The texture of the pieces played was very rich and full because an orchestral piece is designed to have a good balance of instruments and good range of frequencies of sound that has lots of different things happening at the same time.

I need the Ariana voice in particular, and she will surprises audiences with her beautiful voice. That is an awful loud voice from such a frail figure. She exactly understood that how to do abdominal breathing during her voice becomes stable on the high notes. Farthermore, it is easy for me to ear high sounds well. Even it is a difficult piece to song, the sunger Ariana had amazing voice to hitting the high tones. While I listend her voices, she sings with a sure ear for pitch, and even it was just an ordinary voice, yet she sang in tune. She has even more gentle voice. While Ariana’s voice is not technically brilliant it has a quality which is unmistakable. However, beginning of the stage, she closed her eyes to feel the song more deeply,

“A Glimpse of snow and evergreen” was a concert I will never forget. In my opinion, this concert was the most high energy and energetic concert we have had (since my time here). The songs were all surrounded by the theme of holiday spirit and it gave a warm and friendly tone that I believe the audience felt too. We had a variety of songs, in cooperated dancing, and were able to have almost a full house. This will be the concert we remember for the fun times and best choreography.
