On Friday 7th March 2010, at 8 pm, organized a big concert to celebrate the 200 anniversary of the birth of Frederic Chopin. This invitation was open to all students of the college, which had the opportunity to hear two concerts for piano, of the great Polish composer. The concert brings together two music teachers of the College: soloist and piano: Ms. Tatiana Papageorgiou and Mr. Dimitris Toufexis, piano and conducting and as well as the orchestra of Deree. The concert took place in the theater of Pierce.
When I arrived at the theater and found the place had to sit, I took a look at the stage. The musicians, however, had not yet risen to the stage. A few minutes later began to enter the first musicians to take sides on stage. Thus, the stage slowly stuffing and everything was ready to begin the concert. Onto the stage was about twenty-five musicians with many different musical instruments. Some of the players rehearsing and others tune their instruments.
At 8 pm, the show started and so all the audience we are happy to hear the first concert. This was a very potential and simultaneously romantic song, with many music rotations. After a relatively long time, the first concert is over. After this, it was time for the second concert, where it was also a romantic and a very beautiful piece. As I remember the second part was much lively than the first one.
The first concert was a project that Chopin had composed in 1833. The piece is divided into three movements and all together it takes about 40 minutes. As mentioned above the style of this piece is romantic, so lets the listener in a pleasant atmosphere and passes a happy feeling.

    The first movement of the composition begins with a solo from only the strings family. A soft, consistent melody is played and the violin dominates the other instruments in this piece. The tone color at the beginning of this piece is relatively light which symbolizes the characteristics of a nuturing mother. As expected from a classical piece, the dynamics of the piece suddenly change, and there is a slight crescendo in the piece during the following measures of the composition. The tempo of the composition grows quicker in pace which portrays another chapter in the story, signalizng another movement of the piece. A violinist them performs a solo that plays alot that is also quick, yet play alot on the concept of pitch. It can be heard that the violin goes from very low ranges to fairly high range in pitch to emphasize the great amount of emotion in the piece.…

    An isolated community of the struggling longshoremen living under the exploitation of the corrupted union is introduced in one of Elia Kazan’s brilliant works in filmmaking, “On the Waterfront”. The viewers are moderately convinced, by looking at the mere world of brute force and injustice, that someone has to play the heroic role in order to return justice and hope to the working class on this dock. Edie Doyle seems to stand out among the rest as a candidate with her superior quality possessed from her strong Christian values. Likewise, someone like Terry Malloy who being seen as “a bum” by everyone, also manages to lead the longshoremen out of the ruthless dominance of Johnny Friendly in the end therefore earn his statue of a hero. However, as the viewers follow the development of the film, it is realized that Kazan’s notion of heroism is likely to exist as a fulfillment of self-interest and the victory only stops at a level of personal achievement.…

    The famous main melody, introduced after a few counts of quarter notes from the lower instruments, is played and repeated by the upper instruments three times with slight changes each time. During this melody, it can be difficult to play the notes short and precise while maintaining the delicacy. It then completely shifts to a moving section with chromatic eighth notes from the upper instruments that through crescendo and decrescendo with the lower instruments playing an interesting part in between repetitions. Eventually, it switches back to the main melody until the song ends with a rich long tone from the lower…

    The first piece I am going to discuss is the overture to King Stephen, Op. 117. It was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827), one of the greatest German composer in the Western musical tradition. The genre of this composition is overture that is the instrumental introduction to the work King Stephen. The whole work has ten movements which are typical of the Classical style and the genre is oratorio. This overture movement is duple meter, and it is in the andante con moto form. In my opinion, this overture is a program music that shows the scene when the first king of Hungary enthroned and it also draw a picture of the beautiful scenery of Hungary. The overturn begins with a stirring call to attention, then develops and recapitulates two different themes, both with a folksy Hungarian character. The length of this overturn is about eight minutes and played by two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings.…

    The orchestras played this piece to create a great closing to the concert. The conductor made a great decision to arrange this song to be at the end giving almost a sense of closure. The addition of the percussionist again helped give the piece the nice lifted feeling, as well as help the orchestra stay together; however the dynamic contrast between the four sections was rather light.The use of a snare drum drastically changed this piece, it feels more like a slow waltz. The little use of dynamics, however, kept the melody from popping out as much as it should have. In the beginning of the piece everybody played the notes with space between then; however towards the end, a few of orchestra members played the notes smoothly and connected whereas the rest of the orchestra played the notes spaced. The intonation and a steady tempo was retained throughout the performance which gave this piece a focused tone. The violins and violas did an excellent job using full bows, but the cellos needed to use long bows so they can create a deep, rich, and crisp sound. This piece made the audience feel excited and eager to hear more because many of the audience members recognized this…

    Name of the first song was “Be my love”. They started a song with very bright tone and middle fast tempo. This song created very lively feeling and gave audiences little bit information about what kind of music they were going to perform during the concert. This song was great opener because this song made audiences get involved in the concert such as clapping their hands and tapping with their feet to feel the rhythm and tempo.…

    The first song I heard is Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is written at 1880, a romantic period music. It is a sonata allegro form, which consist an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation. However, it is hard for me to find connection between three parts when I was at the concert. Moreover, I did not realize there is three parts until I did the research after the concert. I was really into music and picturing the Romeo and Julia scene in my mind when I heard the symphony playing this piece.…

    The entire theatre complex was abuzz with the voices of a hundred excited ponies, as Cheerilee peeked out carefully from behind the curtains hiding the stage. She saw rows upon rows of ponies sitting in the stands or moving between them, talking to each other as they waited or tried to make one last trip to get some food and beverages before the show. She glanced quickly to the left, and saw that the musicians had already set up in the orchestra pits in front of the stage. They’d only be needed for a few scenes, but Cheerilee was still glad to have them.…
