My only resilience and my Beta-blocker were the fellow companions standing with me. This was my first ever orchestra performance in a grand theater. I sat down facing the conductor with my legs still not under control. One signal from the conductor‚ I let my heart do all the work. The music that we were playing was Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave.

The second piece I reviewed was entitled The Wound Dresser. This is a composition for chamber orchestra and baritone singer. John Adams based this piece off of The Wound Dresser‚ a poem by Walt Whitman. The poem was written in in 1865 and was based on Whitman’s experiences working as a nurse in the American Civil War. John Adam’s is most often recognized as a minimalist‚ and well known for his pieces Doctor Atomic‚ and Short Ride in a Fast Car. You can hear examples of minimalism all throughout

As someone who suffers from extreme hearing loss‚ I am amazed at the great Talent of Ludwig vans Beethoven‚ who as one of the greatest composers of all time wrote most of his music while he was deaf! It seems impossible‚ but what a genius he was. Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn‚ Germany on December 16‚ 1770. His mother died while he was a teenager and his father was very abusive and a crazy alcoholic. Beethoven came from a very musical family. His grandfather became a conductor and

This piece made you want to get up out of your seat and dance to the music. We then were able to hear from the USU Jazz Orchestra lead by Jon Gudmundson. They started out with a piece “Youngblood”‚ followed by “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” which was a soft and pure piece. This song changed the mood again to a very calming relaxed listening experience which made this piece

The sounds of music range anywhere from Hip hop artists sending messages out about injustice to a Classical orchestra portraying emotion. It allows people‚ some of which can be from all different cultures or backgrounds‚ to feel a similar emotion in those brief moments. For example‚ Classical choirs tend to sing in many different languages‚ Latin being one of

Alto Saxophone Versus Tenor Saxophone Being a part of band for eight years playing the E-flat alto as my main instrument and dabbling with the B-flat tenor saxophone‚ I learned that even with its similar look and playing techniques‚ there is a few key differences that differentiate them. The two saxophones‚ almost identical in looks‚ are both part of the woodwind section of instruments‚ created by Aldophe Sax in the 1800’s‚ and classified as middle tone ranged with identical fingerings. Yet when

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

This suggests that the rhythm is counted in threes rather than in twos like its often seen. The orchestra consists of 2 flutes‚ 2 oboes‚ 2 clarinets‚ 2 bassoons‚ 2 French horns‚ 1st violins‚ 2nd violins‚ violas‚ cello‚ and double basses. A B A’ Coda form is seen throughout in a poco allegretto tempo. The piece is started off by the cello. They play

pieces of the same time period‚ but what makes this piece particularly unique is that it is the only piece with a high level of difficulty for trombone that was composed in the time of its conception. The piece is intended to be accompanied by an orchestra but can be played with piano accompaniment as well. The characteristics of this piece are very dynamic and free. The expressivity of the piece is left up to the interpretation of the performer which allows for a large amount of freedom and creativity
