composer. When aficionados of classical music are introduced to new music, it is expected to ‘move’ them. Emotional expression and communication, often exerted through the compositions of Ludwig Beethoven are said to have changed the composition of symphony forever. To quote Beethoven, “Coming from the heart, may it go to the heart”. Beethoven said this when expressing the emotion it took to compose and accept his music. Beethoven is also viewed as innovative through his workings, as it has impacted

Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770. Beethoven’s talent was noticed at a young age and he soon became a pioneer in the world of music for breaking the traditional bounds of style and form. Over the course of his life, Beethoven produced nine symphonies, seven concertos, and a total of forty-two sonatas.

This production of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony was presented by the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra in conjunction with The Lubbock Chorale and The Texas Tech University Choir. The performance was held in the Lubbock Civic Center Theatre on October 13th and 14th at 7:30p.m. As a performer in the University Choir, I was required to attend and perform both nights which allowed me the opportunity to observe two different audiences.
