I attended the Chaffey College Music Department Benefit Concert on February 7 at the Chaffey College theatre. The visual and performance arts presents in concert Los Angeles Philharmonic String Quartet. The concert was lead by Vijay Gupta, LA Philharmonic first violins with Tao Ni on cello, and Michael Larco on violas.

Johannes Brahms - Allegro giocoso from Symphony No.4 in E minor, Op. 98 Objective Reaction: The first movement began with a very strong texture as the music reflected a very powerful theme. It began with the heavy instrumentation from the strings including cellos, violins, and basses. The tempo was also relatively fast and generally upbeat. About a minute and half in there was a very noticeable solo by the violins which was a bit softer in terms of the texture. The melody seemed to be very

There 's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself,” as spoken by the famous composer johann seb. Bach. And indeed, in his case, he was correct, a statement made in regards to Bach’s legendary musical gifts, whether it be his emotionally triggering music that broke all language barriers or his intense passion and drive that inspired Beethoven and Mozart. Born in 1685’s Thuringia, Germany into a family of musicians, Bach

While it seems very easy to compare the church in 1700-1750 to the church today, the cantata in Leipzig during that time is much more like a contemporary pop artists’ concert. A certain status comes from being seen at popular concerts, whether it is in person or via social media, much like the importance of being seen and socializing at the worship services in Leipzig. For many reasons the congregants of 18th century churches were much like the attendees of the 21st century concerts; these similarities

Tyler Singery Matthew Leone MUS-M 401 7/2/2015 Bach and Baroque Ideas Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the most important figures in the Baroque era of music.

Magrill who assisted him on the piano. It was a heart touching performance, where Nesper played various renowned pieces by Bach, Tcherepnin, Bartz, Grant and Ewazen. The concert opened with Nesper playing Sonata No. 2 BWV 1028, the famous piece by Johann Sebastian Bach. This was one of Bach’s most phenomenal piece of work. Nesper was very successfully able to recreate the music and present it in a very impressive way using the tuba. He was assisted by Magrill playing the piano as well. The mood was

Baroque Ornamentation The use of ornamentation in Baroque music was a creative, and sometimes improvised outlet for period musicians that spurred from human instinct to manipulate melodic material. This urge to change melodic material by altering the rhythm, or melody can be seen throughout history. Music including Gregorian chant, which predates the Baroque era, contains some elements of ornamentation. It can be seen throughout the Baroque, Classical era, and even in modern music. Although improvisation

I recently attended the Kansas State University Orchestra conducted by Dr. David Littrell and graduate student Travis Hale. The orchestra featured four pieces, Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Minor composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, Petite Suite composed by Claude Debussy arranged by Henri Busser, Overture to La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) composed by Gioachino Rossini, and Overture to Le roi d’Ys composed by Edouard Lalo.

Johann Sebastien Bach was born in Eisenach, Thuringia, on March 21, 1685 and passed on in Leipzig, Saxony, on July 28, 1750. He is known for his instrumental pieces, for example, the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and vocal music, for example, the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the nineteenth century Bach Revival, he has been for the most part viewed as one of the best composers ever The Passio secundum Joannem or St John Passion (German: Johannes-Passion)

The baroque concerto has proved to be a very formative aspect of classical music. Without the emergence of the concerto, music would not be as it is today. Concerto composers changed the way music was perceived and defied musical norms, introducing new and exciting patterns, sequences, and combinations. Concertos have changed drastically throughout the years. What were deemed concertos during the baroque era, will not always qualify as a concerto by modern definition.
