Concert Review Papers

When I was went to the concert, I sat in the middle of the concert hall so I had a good view of the performers and hear the music clearly. So I had very wonderful night and a good memory for music valuable. The last choir concert, here at NDSU. "The LAST concert" made me sad, but I really enjoyed the moments. Cantemus is a terrific and wonderful women's choir!

This concert overall was interesting and entertaining. The way that the ensemble is split into trios and groups and the short and plentiful songs provide a refreshing change continuously giving the audience a chance to hear different play styles. The only critique I have of the pieces is that at times they had a disorganized sound that I did not recognize as pleasant to listen to. The emotion I was able to leave with was a lightened mood, but I did not have any deep emotional connection to the music. My favorite piece of the night was “The Obstinate” because of the amazing french horn solo that is played halfway through and leads into the conclusion of the song. The style of this concert was new to me and I enjoyed becoming a part of a musical era and style that is not something that I would typically indulge in. The art behind these pieces was shown through the passion of the performers

There is a fall concert, two Christmas concerts, a spring teacher appreciation concert, a multiple chorus concert (also in the spring), and a pops concert in May. My favorite concert to perform is the pops concert because we are given modern songs with choreography. The best concert to watch is the Christmas concert because we sing such jolly and merry songs and the atmosphere is very alive. Some of the hardest songs the choir has done are songs in different languages; such as Latin, French, Spanish, and German. My least favorite song was a song in Latin because we had to work on it for so long it grew tiresome, but the audience seemed to enjoy the song thoroughly. My favorite songs we have done are Stray Cat Strut, Believe (from the Polar Express), and Carol of the

Our first song was Silver Creek Lullaby. In this song I feel like we started and ended together as a group very well. For my section, the second sopranos, measure 12 through 14 was hard for as we practiced because the altos and first sopranos were louder than our own sound, but as we sang in the concert, I was proud of us because we sang and our voices were loud enough to be heard, but soft enough to make a beautiful harmony. On the other hand, our note for the beginning of sail on measure 24, took us a moment to find the right note, and in the process of finding the note we slid up the E. We also took time to find our note the second time through on measure 8. One other thing I felt like we could have improved was our rhythmic accuracy and our diction especially on the word sleep. Overall for this song I felt like there was much room for improvement but we did very well for our first concert.

There are lots of exceptional musical pieces composed by famous musical legends such as, the German music composer, aesthete, and influential music critic, Robert Schumann; who composed Symphony No. 4 in D-minor, Op. 120 in 1851. Or the distinguished Wolfgang Mozart, a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era, who composed over 600 works; one of which is Concerto in A-major for Clarinet and Orchestra, k. 622. These two musical masterpieces were performed at the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra, Mondavi Center, under the name of Spain 2012 on March 11, 2012; along with prelude “L’apres-midi d’un faune” by Claude Debussy. In this paper, I will be comparing the work of R. Schumann, Symphony No. 4, to the Clarinet Concerto, of W.

We got to our seats early so we could be sure we were in a good location. The instrumentalists warming up with different sounds and scales all playing at the same time was like listening to the sounds of nature. Everyone had their own different sound. Everyone was playing something different. While I was amazed at what I heard, it wasn’t until the conductor raised his baton and the first sounds from a well-practiced group took my breath away. Every section came together to make the most beautiful sound floating throughout the hall; a sound of excellence.

On Sunday, May 22, 2016, I went to a concert that performed by students at Pacific Lutheran University. The concert was taken place in Lagerquist Concert Hall, Mary Baker Russell Music Center and was directed by Clement Reid and John Paul. The concert represented a studio series of “The Composers’ Forum”

Followed by wake up, my spirit, and love never fails. All these performances were great but paled in comparison to the performance of Time and a summer’s day a piece conducted based off of William Shakespeare’s sonnets 18 and 19. It was an absolute elegant piece conducted by Mr. Redford. This was the most exciting part of the whole concert in my opinion. It was amazing to hear the choir and orchestra perform. Following this was the performance of Musica Dei Optimi The gift by Schola Cantorum. I was not really into this performace, it was good but anything after the performance of Time and a Summer’s Day had very little effect on me. Last performance was Jubilate Deo (psalm 100) by the combined choir and

During the performance, I felt very overwhelmed by the sound that the arguably small ensemble could produce. The dramatic crescendos and decrescendos really brought out the

One aspect of the concert that I observed was the disproportion between the number of male and female performers. The female performers outnumbered the male performers in each choir, making the performance more female led. Male voices are the key to any choir because they can hit the bass notes that are the foundation of all music. It would have been nice to hear more bass notes in the pieces, yet I understand how challenging that can be with such a few number of male performers. Nevertheless, the male participants did a fantastic job of trying their hardest to belt out the bass notes in order to help the music keep its foundation.

For my first arts experience I chose to attend the Marian University Department of Music Faculty Recital. This production took place on January 24th at 4 pm in the Bishop Chartrand Chapel in Marian Hall. There were 6 performers with the help of Maureen Walton as the accompanist. There were some songs that stood out more than some such as the first piece called Poem.

The concert was performed on the Southam Hall stage at the NAC; this is a large hall with extremely good acoustics. It is a nationally known stage, so the quality of the hall is very good. Generally, the audience was very receptive as it was composed of adults, who were all silent. The acoustics were very good as the hall spread the sound throughout the hall without making it echo. This had a positive effect on the performance, because it was possible for the orchestra to be clearly heard from any point in the entire hall. I was impressed by the large number of students that I saw that night because the show deserved to have been heard by many young people.

This Violin Recital was enjoyable to hear, they played music from people that I have already learn in this class. While hearing to these performances it created a mood of peace, mystery, and romance. It was very interesting and

In those moments of performance nothing else mattered. The tense feeling of those around me slowly dissipated as got into the music, we went from fast heartbeats and ragged breaths to completely losing ourselves in the music and the moment. We became the definition of a band, blending together as one group with no one sticking out in an offensive or immature way. Each one of was performing to our greatest ability and everything felt natural; as if this were the exact place that every single of were meant to be at that exact time. Furthermore, I was confident that we would deliver a brilliant, powerful, and moving performance that the crowd would not forget. Our sounds echoed throughout the auditorium, bouncing off of every wall as we progressed through each musical

The name of concert was Spring Choral Concert which was prepared by the Department of Music School of Fine and Performing Arts State University of New York at New Paltz. The concert was on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at 8 p.m. ın Julien J. Studley Theatre. The concert was directed by Edward Lundergan and Gary Palmieri accompanied him. The four groups took to the stages. The groups were called Chamber Singers, Concert Choir, Concert Choir and College-Community Chorale, and College Community Chorale. The total 13 songs were sung during the concert. Chamber Singers sang 6 songs, Concert Choir sang 3 songs, Concert Choir and College-Community Chorale sang just 1 song, and College-Community Chorale sang 3 songs. It was very interesting concert I have ever seen before because this concert was like a church concert. I have not listened that kind of songs before.
