The piano was present with consonant yet vivace notes. Although the piano over took the choir in certain parts but they gained their momentum back. By the end of the show I noticed the choir had put their all into the song. I felt a warm sense of energy. This choir had to me the most proper attire for the occasion; Apple Festival apparel.
Emmaneul Mensah Caitlin O’Neil Music 150 3 – 31 – 2010 Midsemester Paper The performance by Lowell Lieberman Concerto for Clarinet, orchestra, and the Beethoven Emperor Concerto by Jon Nakamatsu, piano soloist was quite a spectacular performance. Both performances were very entertaining and professional as well. In the commencement of the show, I was anticipating seeing some kind of unexciting show, but as the show progressed, I found it to be very interesting through their interaction with the audience. I became very attentive to each performance they displaced and often found myself drawn in by their performance. Both musical performers incorporated unique musical elements such as melody, harmony rhythm to mention a few.
Music at the Turn of the Century While walking around the Stephenville Historical Museum there were two things in particular that caught my eye. They were both record players that dated back to the early 1900s, and one was even said to be from 1905.The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, patented in 1878, and comes from the Greek word meaning sound and is literally translated to phone. Also, instead of vinyls like we know today, cylindrical tin foil was used to make the disk that would produce sound. When lines and grooves were cut or etched onto the disk, a needle would trace over the lines and the vibration from this process created sound. Soon after the invention caught on, the tin foil was replaced by cylindrical cardboard coated in wax, and eventually vinyl which of course is still used today.
He made popular music that reached the heart of average Americans. Tin Pan Alley also helped bring new genres of music into the music industry. In this area of New York many musicians experimented and created different genres of music. This added energy and creativity to the industry. These free spirited musicians helped develop genres of music for American people to enjoy.
Plus, Madeline Pumariega, President Dr. Thomas Meyer, Dean of Academic Affairs; and Dr. Rosa Mayorga, Chair, Department of Arts and Philosophy of the Wolfson Campus for their continued support. To begin, I felt that the instrumentalists all performed pretty well even though it was just a rehearsal before the concert. The composers were able to play each of their individual instruments good enough that the compositions they performed were in tune and it sounded as though we were actually in the real concert that they performed later that day. “You And The Night And The Music” is a song composed by Arthur Schwartz with lyrics by Howard Dietz debuted on November 28, 1934; “Summertime” was composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, re-harmonized by Mike Di Liddo; “I Feel Fine” song written by John Lennon Paul McCartney
They sing together and basically say you don’t know your father? Well how about just for now we pretend that I’m you father. I just find it amusing how drastic of a coincidence it is but as I said that’s just Musical Theater, and in Musical Theater, anything is possible. Overall, I actually quite enjoyed the film ‘ Show Boat’. Even though the film was made a good 60 years ago, I feel that you are still able to happily watch it today and be told a good story from it.
This concert performance was actually very fun and light as well as moving because of the variety of pieces played. The children’s pieces and the culturally recognizable pieces made the audience feel light and happy because of their fun. The more emotional and moving pieces were also very beautiful and memorable. The concert was different than I expected because I did not expect to hear children’s music or music that was easily recognizable to me, but I enjoyed it. I hope to be able to attend more concerts like it in the
All in all, I am glad I went to this concert, the first half got a little long, but the second half was very enjoyable. It showed me a new genre of music I enjoy listening to, and I hope to be able to hear this group in concert
Although a very popular and successful artist on his own, he was also very popular with his group The Hot Five. Along with his brilliant instrumental talent, Armstrong helped boost the popularity of scat singing in jazz music. Even though he wasn’t the first musician to include vocals in his music, his creativity helped popularize it in future jazz styles and songs. Another very popular style of jazz that emerged around the time of prohibition was swing music. Swing music was dance music performed by big bands and featured complex solo improve acts by some of the best musicians in the scene.
It was exciting and the beat stayed in your mind. The band added vocals too which made it even more interesting. I also like how the music was organized. A theme was introduced in the beginning and then repeated at the end. It completed the circle.
