The Orchestra of the Romantic Era The Romantic Era was a time of many changes and innovations. While the Classical era was a time of restrictions and laws‚ the Romantic period saw the opposite. It was a time of experimentation – artistic freedom and creativity. There was a change in the way that composers wrote. They began utilising various emotions in their writing‚ as if to tell stories through their music. They began experimenting with new musical ideas. They began to move away from traditional

COLLABORATION CONCERT Collaboration dance pieces are always a joy to watch‚ especially when the performers dance as if it was their last performance. On December 11‚ 2013‚ I had a chance to witness the Collaboration Concert of the dance departments of the two phenomenal schools of Cass Technical High School and Renaissance High School. And may I state‚ both schools brought the talent that resembles that of professionals. The concert involved thirteen performances of the young‚ but talented dancers

The Red Orchestra was an umbrella term adopted by the Nazi secret police when describing those who were plotting against the Third Reich.The term Red Orchestra was used because each person in the plot was given a musical term.

World War II‚ the Austrians adopted a new national anthem. Davis recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-104 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam around 1977. I think these performances are the best of the conventional interpretations of these Symphonies. Beecham recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-98 in 1958‚ and Symphonies 99-104 in 1960‚ both with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for EMI. Beecham’s performances are marked (marred?) by a number of omissions and idiosyncrasies‚ but he approaches these works

Music Appreciation Concert Report St. Louis Symphony Orchestra I would like to start off by saying that having the opportunity to attend the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was an experience all in itself. The building as a whole was breath taking‚ and the music that was played was fascinating. The first piece played was by the composer George Frideric Handle. Handle was born on February 23‚ 1685 in Germany. He settled in England in 1712 and became something of a music establishment. Handle

Concert report 1 The concert I went to was called “Afternoon Chamber Music.” Even thought I left my house early‚ I still managed to arrive 10 minutes late. When I finally found the correct room‚ I had to wait outside a few minutes until one of the acts was over. When I finally got inside‚ the small room seemed to be packed‚ but I managed to find an empty seat in the front row. The sitting arrangements were the basic for any performances‚ same as in all the lecture class rooms. Most of the people

Concert Review 3 The concert review I am writing about is An American In Paris. An American In Paris was composed by George Gershwin in 1928. This specific performance that we watched in class was performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. This performance was very long and had many different parts to it. Amazingly this performance only have 1 movement‚ but a lot of sections. There were also many different textures. This song had it all. This is a modern era
