Concert Choir assignments for December 16-20, 2013
1. Listen to this version “Silent Night” compare the style you hear and our version.
The version of “Silent Night”, which was written by Carl Fisher, was a little bit faster than how we sing it in our choir room. In the classroom, we are often told to slow down while singing this song, but the style used by Carl Fisher was faster. Another difference between Carl Fisher’s style and our style in the classroom is that Fisher’s style has the alto section singing out more than the melody, whereas in our choir room, the soprano section, melody, is often out singing many of the moving voices and sections. And finally, in our choir room, we are told to annunciate our vowels and make or cut offs more crisp, while Fisher’s style has more of a natural flow the endings of phrases.
2. Listen to this version of “Do You Hear What I Hear” Compare the style you hear and our version.
The version of “Do You Hear What I Hear” arranged by Harry Simeone had pretty much the same speed, tone, and rhythm throughout, whereas, the style which we sing in our choir starts off much slower, and then throughout the song the rhythm is picked up. Other than the rhythmic differences, much of the styles are the same. Just as we do in our choir, the blend is pretty much the same as ours and the blend. The altos and sopranos always echo the guys section well in tune and our choir was good at this as well.
3. Write a few paragraphs about the native music you hear during your vacation in the Dominican Republic. Find out about the local bands and instruments and tell me about them.

In the Dominican Republic I heard all different kinds of music and in many unique ways. The Dominicans’ make music with any kind of instrument, tool, or device that can use to make a noise or a rhythm. The first night we arrived in the Dominican we went to eat at a restaurant, there were five gentlemen singing and one man was using a cheese grader and a whisk to

    After realizing that Colin is dead, Carol eyes open in disbelief and a shriek discomforts viewers. Both silence and sound, like in this scene, is used throughout the film to create tension and emphasize terror. During the beginning of the film, music is lively and upbeat. At the salon, nondiegetic sounds of a flute and jazz paint a peaceful scenery. As Carol walks home, viewers hear traffic sounds and live band music. During the day birds are chirping, airplanes fly overhead, and the elevator door is heard frequently. At night, sounds which were once peaceful turn unpleasant. The church bell that strikes at midnight awakens Carol from her sleep, it becomes louder and louder as if taunting her when suddenly everything goes silent. The silence encourages viewers to listen closely. Helen’s moans and breaths are softly hear across the room but like the church bells, they intensify and mock…

    The live performance that I had attended to was Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra “Messiah” near Madison, WI. The genre of composition is supposed to be drama. This composition genre is an oratorio, which is a large-scale dramatic genre originating in the Baroque. Baroque is based on text of religious or serious character, performed by solo voices, chorus, and orchestra; similarto opera but without scenery, costumes, or actions. This specific oratorio is different because this composition is in three parts but is compilation of biblical verses from Old and New Testaments. The text for “Rejoice greatly” is actually from the New Testament itself.…

    Using the listening guide also helped me to distinguish each instrument. If I was to hear the music on my own riding in my car I could probably pick out the violin that’s about it only because I played a little growing up. This type of music is not what I am used to hearing mostly gospel, and R&B. I’ve never really listened to music without words. But now that I have, I can honestly say that I will be listening to it more often than usual. Thirty seconds in the music piece I was tapping my foot and moving my fingers on my desk to the rhythm of it. After it was over I found my co-worker staring at me, she then asked was I okay loll. The part I liked most was at 3C (1:45) and 4 (2:19). The section 3C (1:45) reminded me of childhood, watching cartoons. And part 4 (1:45) for the same reason. The rhythm reminded me watching cartoon during the part where a bad part or ending was coming having you on your seat waiting impatiently to see whets going to happen next. In my house as a kid watching cartoons was the highlight of the weekend and summer. My grandmother raised me so there were always soap operas or game shows on constantly. Except Saturday mornings and summer days when granny had to…

    On February 24th, I attended the West Michigan Concert Winds “Winner and Winds” concert. West Michigan Concert Winds is a volunteer group that performs instrumental music to the community.

There was also many current or retired band directors apart of the ensemble. They performed all different genres of music from a Sousa march to an Irish wake by A.J. Potter.
