Later, the strings came in as an accompanying section along with the guitar playing chords. After the English horn finished the melodic solo, Mr. Williams played the melodic line, which is almost identical to that of the English horn. Mr. Williams’s solo was very melancholic, yet uplifting. Both the soloist and the orchestra were very sensitive to harmonic changes and drama during the movement. The cadenza was very impressive musically and technically.
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.
This has been made possible thanks to good music, excellent actors and an unpredictable story. While watching the movie Casablanca, I really enjoyed the different types of music. The music was nice because it shows all kinds of languages and sounds. For example, in one of the flashback scenes in Paris, Rick and Ilsa dance to Rhythm of Perfidia by the Mexican composer Alberto Domínguez. Also another scene from the movie, which was characterized by music and that definitely impressed me, was when Laszlo begins singing followed by many people, La Marsellesa, the French national anthem, even before the occupation of the country.
From the curtain pull it was apparent this was not going to be only a symphony. The stage was filled with the usual instruments, including two harps, two vocal soloists and a full chorus. I think back to class and anticipate all the opportunities for Berlioz to use his master orchestratation skills within this large group. Furthering my experience of excitement is the crazed looking, animated conductor, Charles Dutoit. He reminds me a Jack Nicholson in all his magnificent roles.
I had the privilege of attending Spooktacular Concert. The concert consisted of the Wildcat Fiddlers and the Symphony Orchestra playing spooky, dark pieces. The concert concluded with a joyful parade of children in their costumes marching to Pirate Dance by Leroy Anderson. The concert is a very unique experience. The piece In the Hall of the Mountain King has a very familiar melody, so it was very enjoyable to listen to.
One of the reasons is because of the benefits of classical music, which seems to draw almost everyone to them at some point in his or her life. Classical music can stimulate people's minds, nurture their soul, bring them to whole new worlds. Besides that, this paper also aims to show how classical music has influenced my life and still does so. I believe classical musichas benefits to everyone, no matter he is a professional musician or he has not been introduced to it yet. I will begin my paper with my personal experience with listening to classical music and then I will show how classical music benefits people's life in different ways.
Haydn produced a huge musical output and he played a vital role in establishing and developing many of the main classical forms, such as The Symphony, the String Quartet, The Concerto and The Sonata. Haydn had a great sense of humour and was partial to including an element of fun and surprise into his compositions. This can be seen in particular in the finale of his String Quartet Op. 33 No. 2, which is wittily nicknamed ‘The Joke’.
I enjoyed listening to them and not being startled every 30 seconds by the drums pounding in or the horns suddenly sounding out of no where. In this sense, I very much enjoyed listening to this orchestra in a different way then I enjoyed the other musical performances we went to see. When Joshua Bell came out to do his solo, it was actually very funny because he completely changed the mood of the night by playing “Yankee Doodle” on his violin. The whole mood
There is a contrast of soft and melodic with fast and sharp as if teasing the audience cause the second movement is traditionally a slow lyrical movement but instead he puts a scherzo movement in as if he switched the second and third moments. There is one final build at the end then soft for just a second with a loud abrupt ending. I like this piece of work because it’s what Beethoven was most known for and just making his own style. Based on this work I would listen to more of Beethoven’s music .he also played a lot of his music in minor keys which I am a fan of. Beethoven brings this piece to a satisfying but abrupt end for my taste some might not like
There is a perfect cadence (chord V to I) at bar 4 followed by ornamentation over a dominant 7th chord in a septuplet figuration incorporating an acciaccatura (crushed note). Chopin also uses an ominous crotchet tread in this piece towards to end of the A section in order to create a feeling of dread or anticipation. Chopin’s piano music is a perfect example of the Romantic ideal for expressing the poetic feelings and emotions through the medium of sound. He uses long lyrical melodies (see the whole of the A section, most prominently in bars 12-16, and bars 79-80) to convey these emotions, as well as arpeggios in bars 14, 16 and 18. There are also broken chord accompaniments, and a falling motif in bar 1 which help convey the mood.
