Mr. Williams started out the first movement witth the rasgueado technique. After a few measures, the orchestra joined in. There are some meter changes between 6/8 and 3/4, which Mr. Williams and the orchestra could execute smoothly with great charm. Moreover, Mr. Williams also carried out the fast challenging scale with unparalleled precision – not even one mistake was heard. Although guitar is a soft-sounding instrument, with help of amplification, the balance between the orchestra and the soloist was fantastic.
There is not one kind of music that I do not like. I love each and every one of the music generations out there. It may have taken me some time to get use to liking them but eventually I did and I wouldn’t change my love of music for anything. It honestly gets me through my rough days and helps me stay concentrated. My kids love music just as much as I do and they can sing just about any country song that comes on the radio.
People cried by listening his songs, because he performed and sang from his soul! Nowadays, almost every musician makes songs about sex and money but no one ever made songs about Earth, and people. He was a humanitarian through and through. He donated $400million to charities including ones supporting kids with cancer and other illnesses, he supported 39 charities, he opened his previous home Neverland Ranch where he invited under priviliged kids and their parents to enjoy themselves. Since he was a child star, what he gained in performing experience cost him his childhood, he didnt get to do things other kids would do, go to a park, play with other children.
10 -15 9. Describe a recent performance in which you participated (group, which instrument/voice) I had a show playing with my band in downtown temple during a outdoor concert with Aaron Watson. We played for about a hour or so. We promoted the songs our our album we recorded in Houston. Great crowd, lots of people dancing.
The character conflict was surprising because I really did not expect the main character, Bobby Strong to die or be dropped from the building as it happened in the play. At least he died informed and in love, knowing that he was living in Urinetown all along. I came to this musical thinking that the conflict will be overcome and that the boy would get the girl, well, the girl did not get the boy and the conflict only escaladed into a bigger conflict. The dialogue was extremely well written as well as performed. All of the characters had clear voices and great singing talent.
However, the third song concertino for clarinet, played by Frank Bencriscutto. He did prove his talent in playing clarinet, but he was really nervous. I feel like he is too nervous to breathe. The Piece I Enjoyed the Most: Celebrations Reason: it was the first song of the whole concert, which is also my favorite one by John Zdechlik. It was beautiful melodies, the brisk pace of hearty, full of a kind of vitality and vigor up.
Music is often in the background as “noise.” Something to make the store sound busier; a less awkward silence. As described in Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin. “All I know about music is that not many people every really hear it.” (p330) Do we ever go home and say, “Awe my gosh, that music playing in Hy-Vee today was so heart wrenching?” If so you might be the first. However music is not only there to make “noise.” Music can inspire us, encourage us, and even remind us of our greatest profound tragedies. That is only if we actually listen.
Rehearsal Observation - April 16, 2012 The rehearsal I observed on Monday, April 16th, was a rehearsal for the last CIM Orchestra concert of the year. The CIM Orchestra, conducted by Joel Smirnoff, the president of CIM, is playing Mahler's second symphony, "Resurrection" with a chorus and some solo vocalists. Everyone is visibly excited for two reasons. One - everyone is ready to be done with school and two - everybody seems to love Mahler’s Second Symphony. It was nice to hear the orchestra, but I was mainly watching Joel Smirnoff, the conductor.
Linfield Perofeta S. Matai English 151-Sec 01 22nd October 2012 How Music Affects my Life There are many types of music in the world today that can affect people in many ways. Samoan slow jams, Religious jams and English slow jams are my favorites simply because it gives me a reason to explore my imagination, it can make me express emotions to a significant other, it provides a refuge from my problems, it gives me motivation and it is a part of my life. It was my prom night and my best friend and I are waiting to rock the stage with our red two-piece Chinese dresses. Music playing and the time was right, we walked over to each other and girl, our classmates were cheering us both with awe look on their faces for we looked gorgeous that night. I will never forget that night whenever I hear or listened to “Take my breath away” for I would always imagine myself in that dress and rocking that stage again.
You could easily tell that the dynamics were well enforced during rehearsal because when they played there was great dynamic differences throughout the piece. They had a very warm tone even though it was a fast piece of music and warm tones are more associated with slow pieces, Each band tuned individually and as a group before they played each of their pieces so that most likely helped in the aspect of tone quality. Throughout the concert I noticed that each
