Concert Reflection
Because of my devotion to classical music, I attended multiple music concerts in my life, which I find to be real masterpieces in the world of the modern culture. Thereafter, the objective of the following paper is to reflect on the concert that I have recently visited.
It is rather difficult to describe the music on paper, as the emotions I have experienced during the concert have left me speechless, and it is hard to convey this in words. The music at the concert that I have attended had its own ‘language’ that sounded typed and flat with ‘emotional outbursts’ from time to time. Still, the sounds were very pure, which inspired me to deep thoughts on what I heard. I felt that the atmosphere on the stage was rather warm; the bright light was adding sparks to the music instruments. The moves of the conductor were smooth and abrupt at the same time, and I always had the feeling that he was a professional in his area and there was nothing impossible for him.
The ‘texture of the sound’ and the ‘sensation’ of it was soft, smooth and rich, while the sounds of ‘urgency’ and ‘adventures’ were also present in my perception of what I have heard. It seems that there have not been separate musical instruments such as a flute, harp, cello, trumpet, and others, but everything was played by one musical instrument that had many ‘dimensions’.
In conclusion, I would like to mention that I have really enjoyed the concert and managed to imagine different movements and natural sceneries while listening to the play. I have experienced an enigmatic stream of the music as well as its elusive and dynamic sound.

    I have never heard such music as this and watch the players articulate the movements and timing necessary to be able to play such difficult pieces as these. Their sound was like a whole orchestra playing with them but it was only four players. It was a whole new experience for me. These pieces were beautiful but I guess I just didn’t have an ear for the changes in pitch and frequency. It was quite odd but also added to the pieces. I can’t wait to go to other concerts. The atmosphere is unlike any other. This experience unmatched by other concert experiences I’ve…

    The in class concert with three performances that I attended on 15th of February was an very interesting experience for me as I have not been to a classical music concerts that often. The first piece, Oxycotton, was performed by Tim Sanchez using the marimba. The second one, Acht Stucke, was performed by Samantha Post using the flute. Nicholas Gledhill using the horn performed the third piece, Blues and Variations for Monk. The last piece, Misty, was performed by CSU Graduate Brass Quintet. In this paper, I am going to write about the performances that I heard and about the different music elements that they used in each performance.…

    Holding truth today and in the past, attending classical concerts is hailed as a sign of both sophistication and style. Very reminiscent of 18th Century attendances at places like the Music Center at Strathmore, my noteworthy experience broadened my musical horizon. As a newcomer to classical concert-going, I was enthralled by the aural masterpieces and the alluring atmosphere. In partaking in the National Philharmonic's opening concert of the year at the Music Center at Strathmore, one experiences the warm ambiance of classical music in modern times while retaining its renowned value.…

    The performance was at Ruth Lilly Performance Hall Christel Dehaan Fine Arts Center, on the campus of the University of Indianapolis. It was very beautiful, the program gave a disclaimer about the design of the concert hall; which read “The acoustics of Ruth Lilly Performance Hall was designed for optimum dispersion of sound, projecting the softest parts of the music clearly too each listener.” I was extremely amazed by this note in the program because we learned about the way that music and venues are connected. The hall is not large like a cathedral, but there were hanging from the walls so that sound would no be absorbed so easily. There was a chandelier hanging above the stage that also incorporated the microphones, and the spotlight…

    For my humanities report, I attended the Wind Ensemble concert at the Timko Barton lobby on October 8, 2015. The concert was so inspiring and refreshing for me since I love music and am currently studying music. Sitting with some many people and listening to beautiful music from a variety of genres was so restoring to the soul. Dr. John Jenkins, the director, was so motivating in every piece of music and of the program. The concert program ran smoothly as the ensemble band transitioned gradually to each different song piece. In addition the scenery added to the peaceful presence during the show. Since the concert took place in the lobby of the music hall, people saw the bright lights coming from the ceiling and they also enjoyed to majestic surrounding of the large glass windows. The Wind Ensemble concert event was a smoothing time to reflect on…

    Music rings out from the center stage and bounces around the auditorium elegantly as if it were a metaphysical dancer. The symphonic grace entices all of those who are in range to hear it which is why Rod Hoffman sits in the second row of the middle aisle three seats deep from the left side of the orchestra. Completely submerged in the melody he is enveloped by a sort of transcending feeling. Words are rarely able to describe the joy that he feels by attending the concerts of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. It takes him many weeks to find a means to culminate all of his emotions that he felt from the performance into a review that can properly display not only his reaction but still give an oversight that convinces others to give the orchestra…

    The first song of the evening was ‘Tear and Alnmena’. All the audience was captivated when it began. The opening of this music was like another mood’s music more than Jazz as any other country’s traditional music. Totally, the mood of this music was dark and mysterious. The sound of the bass clarinet which I saw first was freshly, and trombone’s main solo playing was also new feature in this concert.…

    I am a casual listener because I like having music playing, filling the environment with sounds. I can listen to music while studying and sleeping, and I like listening to music because it can make me relax and ignore the noise that around me. I attended the concert on October 5 at 8:00pm. Contrapunctus XIX, from The Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080 by Johann Sebastian Bach, Metamorphosen by Richard Strauss and Symphony No.7 in A major, Op.92 by Ludwig Van Beethoven were performed.

    The concert was somewhat as I expected to be. The concert was so formal and organized. . Even though I had some prejudgments about the concert at first, I enjoyed listening to these pieces live. I will try to attend future classical music concerts. There were some parts where the management team could have done better. The artist demonstrated dynamics, technique, harmony and togetherness beautifully. Before leaving the concert hall I was able to speak briefly with some of the musicians, they were very helpful in answering my questions about the…

    Overall, I feel that attending this concert made me more aware of the diversity of style. I enjoyed the many different sounds that this orchestra performed. I also enjoyed the dramatic tension I and the vibe that was given in the pieces . But mostly what I enjoyed the most of this whole performance was the second to last piece that was played. The way that the saxophone was played opened my ears to a new sound that I never heard. For this being the first concert that I have attended I can honestly say that this was a great…

    For this assignment I chose to compare and contrast two concerts. The first concert is from the modern era, while the other is a Baroque Era concert originating from the 17th Century preformed by a modern day orchestra. The Baroque Era Concert takes place in a large modern day Lutheran Church in front of a small crowd of well dressed onlookers. The second concert that I chose for this assignment is a modern day rock concert from the English Symphonic Rock Band, Muse. This concert takes place at the O2 Sheppard’s Bush Empire Theatre in London, England. The crowd is large and ruckus, the concert is loud, bright, and energetic.…

    The performance started out with the musicians entering the room one by one as they played and opening song, and settling down in their positions. I really enjoyed the movement and the energy they brought with them into the room because it seemed to wake most of the audience up, as some had been waiting for a while. One of my favorite sounds to hear within the music was that of the tuba, which provided the bassline heartbeat. It…
