Both musical performers incorporated unique musical elements such as melody, harmony rhythm to mention a few. Lowell Lieberman performance was very captivating through his exhibition of passion throughout his musical circles. Throughout his musical performance, Liebermann makes imaginative use of rich and varied harmonic rhythm. His performance shows a classical theme from the beginning to the end. The mood in Lieberman music made the entire room gloomy whiles the melodic lines made the room flowing, the rich harmonies in his music made the room surprisingly striking.
The first movement, which is Molto Moderato, thus infuses with a tuneful melodic expansion. This could make the emerging subdue and ever-expanding opening theme. The movement proceeds to a more self-assured, brass-laden climax, which eventually will change the situation and environment around the hearer themselves. The opening of the Allegro Molto of the second movement announces a happy and cheering mood of intent, the percussion crashes and brass rocket figure that foreshadows the Fanfare of the last movement. The movement continues with trio cast scherzo, thus turning into humorous bounces and assumed martial drive.
The Dance Ensemble returned once more with a fast paced African piece, also executed with such force and feeling to move the audience. The Dance Ensemble certainly enlightened many through the power of rhythm, dance, and movement. Lastly, the world renowned Morgan State University Choir took the stage with the power to move the entire crowd. They performed a few compelling songs entitled “I Know I’ve Been Changed”, “If I Can Help Somebody”, “His Light Still Shines”, “Set Me Free”, and “United We Stand”, all holding strong to the theme of this assembly. The soloists were absolutely wonderful and the choir was perfect on its own.
The next movement I noticed was two dancers doing a kind of “stomping” on the stage. This conveyed a very tribal message to me. Finally, I noticed in movement in which the performer twirled in place on stage. This gave me a sense of relaxation. The sound score starts out very tribal but then transforms into a slightly more sophisticated musical composition.
Groovy, funky, and upbeat, all of these songs were very catchy and definitely made you want to nod your head and tap your feet. The band closed with a jam called Soul Sold Seperately, a slow jam that really slowed the pace of the concert and the pace of the night. An intro of the keyboard led way to the
Cajun and Creole music were very similar. The people loved the new emerging type of music, they danced and they sang to this lively, playful and peppy melodious music. The typical dance was a two-step and a waltz, but it didn’t end there. Other dances included the “Cajun one step” as known as the “Cajun jig,” and also the “Cajun Jitterbug.” Cajun dancers were truly passionate about their routines; they covered every inch of the dance floor to exhibit the proper steps and excitement that went along with the style of music. Music was a fundamental element of the social lives of the early Cajun society.
I’m a dancer who likes to dance to any music that I can easily make up choreography to. Whenever I always listen to music I tend to create a dance in my mind out of the song I am listening to. Honestly I really can't sum my life up only on one page but I’ll do my best. I love to laugh and have a good time, I'm usually smiling and if I’m not, most likely something’s wrong. I laugh over the littlest and stupidest things.
A lot of the songs had a fast rhythm but there were a few slow ones such as Lover’s leap, especially during the steel drum solo that made me feel peaceful and like I could float off into dreams. I noticed a lot of Call and Response between the horns section in several of the songs such as Zona Mona and Hall of
Your favorite genre of dance, and why? I enjoy all styles of dance, but my favorite genre is contemporary. You are to attempt to illustrate and interpret the actual meaning and emotion communicated in the song. I love being able to tell a story while utilizing the lyrics or mood of the music. 3.
Just like our busy world today, we sometimes need a break to step out to help us relax. Therefore, “marginal” places and activities also give us a chance for us to hang out and have fun with our friends and family. In my opinion, I agree with Frazier’s ideas that “marginal” activities and places are valuable. Frazier’s and his friends did a lot of activities by just doing things out of nowhere but at the same time had a lot of fun doing it. They could think of hundreds of things to do together with no worries and always lost track of the time.
