On March 16th I attend the Rocky Rock Band and Reason concert at Losekamp at Rocky Mountain College. I had a rollercoaster of a night listening to the tunes of The Rocky Rock Band and Reason.

One other very wonderful aspect of the night was the free food that was a very nice touch. I was not too sure about how the concert was going to go. I have never

JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT 1.)I believe that Joyful and Triumphant was a magnificent piece of music because of the sections that went marvelously. The first demonstration is between measures 23 through 31. The clarinets and the bass clarinet sounded harmonized together. Between those measures‚ it felt like it was precisely chorale style. Another demonstration is between measures 75 through 83. The few instruments that played their small solos‚ like chimes‚ and bass clarinet did a spectacular job. And

The piece that I have chosen to write about is called Firebird written by: Igor Stravinsky in 1910. Stravinsky Grew up around music since he was a young boy‚ his father was Fyodor Stravinsky‚ who was the principle at Imperial Opera‚ St Petersburg‚ and his mother Anna was an amateur singer and piano player.

The pops concert at Sartell High School took place at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium‚ and the concert band performed four pieces. The first song played was Pippin.

After there was a new melody‚ there were occasional parts when one section stood out more. Those sections eventually fixed their dynamic. The next dynamic that could have been fixed was‚ the trumpets
