On Tuesday, November 29th at 12:15pm, I attended a Music at Noon concert which showcased a collaboration of talent from baritonist Mel Braun and pianist Laura Loewen. Of the ten pieces which the concert was composed of, three pieces left a long lasting impression on me. The first piece to impressed me, which was also the opening piece of the program, was entitled Honour and Arms, composed by George Frederic Handel. Handel is known for being a great Baroque composer, an era which included extended
Music Concert # 1 On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After
Paragraphs: 1 The concert took place in the Weber Music Hall. Weber Music hall is a small auditorium with two levels of seating. The setting was very formal. Everyone was very quiet and paid attention to the performance. The lights were a little dim everywhere, as very bright light shined on the ensemble. The piano was center stage and faced sideways, so the audience could see the side view of the pianist playing. The violinist was in front of the piano and a little to the left, so he did not block
of the semester was how much do I actually know about symphonic music? I have always characterized symphonic music as a lengthy form of musical composition for orchestra that is all tuxedos and formality. My impression on the basis of the symphonic music has always been portrayed with that specific formality aspect where there wasn’t a complete understanding towards symphonic music. When attending my first concert of symphonic music last year to listen to my roommate play made a change that I never
For my second concert I attended the Central Methodist University Concert Band at Swinney Conservatory of music. The first piece that they played was titled Cyrus the Great, this piece was composed by Karl King and arrangement by Andrew Glover. Cyrus was a band member in King Fort Dodge Municipal Band from Iowa. This piece is a march. This piece contains low brass lines with minor key tonalities with some interesting harmonic changes. The great thing about this piece is that it gives all sections

Directed by Joao Luiz, this concert featured numerous performers of whom each specializing in different instruments and “voice”. The musical pieces that were played during this concert were very diverse in terms of the “environment” and “emotion” it conveyed. As suggested by the title of the concert, the environment was suited ideally for chamber music. Chamber music
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend a real concert, since it usually requires transportation and I do not have a car (or friends who would be willing to drive me there and enjoy some classical music). Instead, I listened to the Brahms Violin Concerto (my favorite composer) performed by Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Bernard Haitink with violinist Janine Janses as soloist. I enjoyed it almost as much as if I listened to a life performance, I promise. • First piece (and the longest

In total, they performed four pieces, two duets and two trios, one of which was an original composition by David Johnson himself. Their pieces included a wide range of styles, from upbeat majors to dark, emotional minors and from standard classical to zesty tangos.

In this concert, at Topanga Community Club, the second piece is Concertino for Clarinet in E-flat Major Op.26, by Carl Maria Von Weber.
