Dallas Symphony Concert Report Sample

Gentle warmth bathed the audience. It was an unusually cool July afternoon. The smell of patriotism, if there were such a fragrance, was dancing throughout the skies, skipping across the clouds, lingering above the treetops. The date is July 1st, and we are about to be entertained. Welcome to the ISO Star Spangled Symphony.

The strings were the most important; first violins had the melody, along with clarinet melodic solos, while the lower strings accompanied. The brass filled out the harmony, but did not play the main melody. Timpani were used for rhythmic bite and emphasis.

I saw a Beethoven concert online which took place on May 7th, 2015 in Chicago, to celebrate the anniversary of Beethoven’s glorious masterpiece Symphony 9. The concert was a classical concert which was conducted by Ricardo Muti who has remained a conductor for Philharmonica orchestra (London), and Philadelphia Orchestra. The concert was directed by Duain Wolfe who is and Americal Chorale conductor as well as the founder Colorado Symphony and the Colorado Children’s chorale. . Some of the artists who participated in the Orchestra were Camilla Nylund (played soprano), Ekaterina Gubanova (played mezzo-soprano), Matthew Polenzani (played tenor), Eric Owens (played bass-baritone), and the rest of the artists were from Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All the musicians were dressed formally in black suits with white shirts, or black dresses. The symphony was played in four movements: Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, Scherzo: Molto vivace, Adagio molto e cantabile, Finale: Ode to Joy.

The Dallas Brass is a brass ensemble that performed on September 24th, 2016 at Hart Middle School Auditorium. The members of this group are Luis Araya and Terry Sawchuk who play the (various) trumpets, Juan Berrios who plays the horn, alto horn, and the Flugelhorn, Paul Carlson and Ryan Christianson who play the tuba and trombone respectively, and Andres Crovetti who is the percussion section. Michael Levine is the created the group back in 1983 and was their trombone player before Ryan joined.

The one song that stuck out to me the most was the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1: II The Death of Ase. This score was composed by Edward Grieg and was published in 1908, a year after he died (Classic FM). One element of sound that was very apparent to me during this piece was the pitch. This is the relative highness of lowness of sound (116). In this piece there are very distinct pitches. The violins give off the higher tone, where as the cellos contribute the lower tones in the pitch. The faster the instruments play the higher

The organization decided to form an orchestra to show love of their city. The first maestro for the organization was Henry Hadley. He launched his first concert in San Francisco city in December 8th, 1911 with 95 members. The first concert was a successful performance for the organization, and it led to greater grow for the orchestra.

It’s often given the description of homely. People want to bestow upon you a feeling that on your first visit, you’ll fall in love (Trust me, you won’t). There are many roads leading into the small town of Middleville. Some twisting by the river, others curving around the valley. Some stretching for miles over the never-ending farmland. And that’s all the area is. Farmland, interrupted by a school and a village that is barely big enough to see on a map.

Since it was the era of the first World Qar, music had a deeper meaning to each individual. Music was used as an element of celebration. Soldiers used music to celebrate surviving a day of war, and wives used music to celebrate their husbands returning home after war. Music also used to be something special and rare; they used to only play music occasionally. Friends or families used to get together to play music with each other.

There were a lot of instruments you could hear when you first listened to this piece. The first instruments that I heard right away were the violins, flutes, and oboes. As I kept listening I noticed the clarinets, bassoons, cello, viola, and the French horn. The instruments that seemed like they were the most important in this piece were the violins, because they started the piece and through-out the rest of the piece they were always there being the main part of this piece.

For my project, I chose to tour the European section of the Dallas Museum of Art. I visited the DMA on Friday 11th, as the museum was introducing a new portrait of a man from a vendor. The museum, curated by Gavin Delahunty, is situated snugly in the heart of Downtown Dallas. The exhibit presented many artists and let the viewer’s imagination take them back in time and immerse them into the art.

The concert that I attended was on November 14th, 2017, on a Tuesday night. Those that were performing were the Chamber Ensemble of Kutztown University. The Concert began at 7:30 p.m., and concluded at 8:30 p.m. When the concert was just beginning I was unsure of what to expect, besides the obviousness of a piano portion to the whole event, because there was one sitting in the center of the stage.

Playing multiple instruments at one time was still in the experimental stage, but was done to make creative and unusual sounds. String and keyboard instruments were becoming very popular at this time, creating the refined sound, unique to the court. The most popular instrument of that time was the lute,

Spain was not England’s only motive for colonization: England had duel economic problems of mass unemployment and lack of markets to sell their manufactured goods. Along with raw materials, colonization of North America would provide jobs for the idle youth of England as well as plenty of new markets. Hakluyt believed that the beggars, veterans, debtors, youth, and sailors would find work and grow to be in a “more happy state”. John Winthrope put it perfectly when he said that England “groews weary of her Inhabitants”; the “ burthen of [the] poore” was becoming too much for England. The poor of England were turing to crime, begging, and debt to try and survive during the 16th and 17th centuries. England was indeed being weighed down,

On Sunday, May10 2015, a concert was held in The Broad Stage. The concert was played by Santa Monica College Symphony Orchestra, whose conductor is Dr. James Martin. For this concert, I would identify myself as a referential listener at this concert. I say this because I am not an expert in music, therefore it would be hard for me to be a critical listener. I wouldn’t be able to tell what went wrong with a performance even if some incorrect notes were played. I was more of a referential listener because the music was soothing and brought my mind to peaceful thoughts. This essay will tells my experience of the concert in order to persuade my friend to  attend a classical music concert with you in the future.

•There was an increased emphasis on contrasting textures; for example, large groups of instruments play one section and a small group plays another, or groups of instruments take turns playing the main theme(s).
