Mock Concert Essay
Mock Concert report
The piece begins softly with a lot of allegro feel. The violin strokes are airy and this seems to be a prominent part for the piece. It seems to be a fairly decent sized orchestra preforming this piece and they all seem fairly lively. The podium seems to have a soloist as well as a conductor, but the conductor is playing along with the soloist. This is an interesting technique, but it seems to fit the piece perfectly and it adds a unique perspective which seems to attract the audience’s attention to this movement. It’s extremely balanced between the woodwinds and the strings. It picks up and gets extremely lively almost out of nowhere but it keeps the same feel and emotion throughout the change.

This piece didn’t stay in one particular area for two long though, as time continued on it adapted and brought the festivities to different levels. One part of this piece I really enjoyed was the varying percussion and how it just built the rhythms from what seemed to be the island itself. This piece is an extreme culture shock compared to the last. We’re swarmed with happiness instead of sorrow. This piece doesn’t stay soft spoken for very long though. Constantly changing and keeping the audience on the edge of their seat, the conductor leads this orchestra. Honestly I wish they had a way of viewing the conductor the entire performance because he was extremely passionate, enthusiastic, and pleasant to watch. At what I feel to be the overall climax of the piece, the orchestra is vibrant and lively like a beach party in the summer. The Cuban vibe and feelings are shown throughout this intense and mighty section.
Overall the pieces didn’t necessarily connect in any feelings and I personally would not show them to the public all together but they we’re each pleasant. The pieces each being distinct and powerful in their own way, only seemed to clash when preformed
