Baroque Music Wonderful Election Analysis
I would like to start saying that I really enjoyed listening these two examples of baroque music, wonderful election. It was really interesting to observe two women signing as lovers in the first piece Pur ti miro, pur ti godo by Monteverdi, one of them replacing as the professor said before the castrato voice. I think I really got caught by this piece because the letter is in italian, which I can understand. I think this piece has a polyphonic texture because the voices complement each other. I have never been in an opera before but this presentation was absolutely joyful. According to this video I think opera is magnificent because is a conjunction of emotions where acting, singing and dancing play an important role. The

    Summary: The Art Of Deception By Gianni Schicchi

    The first performance of the opera that caught my attention was “Gianni Schicchi”, an Italian opera that consisted of numerous characters and elements. The story unfolds with family members gathering around a bed of a recently deceased family member and aristocrat, Buoso Donati; though most put on a convincing façade, most are curious to see if they will inherit his great fortune. Donati’s brother-in-law mentions a rumor that Donati has left his entire fortune to a monastery, which upsets the family. The family begins to panic and starts looking for Donati’s will, to see if the rumors are true. The room was a mess, but the will was found by Rinuccio, the sons of Donati’s cousin, Zita. Before unveiling the will,…

    Edgard Varèse: Music Analysis

    The first piece was Intègrales by Edgard Varèse (1883-1965). Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. He was innovator in 20th-century techniques of sound production. According to the www.allmusic.com, his concept of "organized sound" led to many experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. Intègrales was composed in 1925. I think this piece is very modern, and is a work for wind, brass, and percussion. I am not really enjoying this piece because it is a little noisy for me. The second piece is Coptic Light, and the composer…

    Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Review

    First BSO played a piece from 18th century that describe fear and death and then the orchestra played a piece that shares same topic from 21st century. It was really fun to compare those two pieces to think about how people from old era thought about death and how we think about death. My reception to repertoire was interesting. Actually I could not really understood the first piece. I understood the meaning behind it when I read a description later. However, I understood the concept right away when I heard the second piece. I believe that it is because of the harmony the composer used in the second piece is more modern and more often used in music from horror movies. I believe that if people from 18th century listened to this performance, their reaction would exactly opposite of mine. Because they were used to hearing such harmony in the first piece and such harmony is what described death at that…

    The viola player tapping the viola with the bow to make a sound like blink blink blink was creative in my eyes. It was interesting to see a beautiful piece played with only three instruments. The song is so beautiful that it sounds like music you would hear in a fairy tale forests. I liked the piece “Soft Watches” by Ileana Perez-Valazquez. It was a creative and fun idea to make the piece based off the painting Salvador Dali’s famous painting “Persistence of Memories”.…

    The St. Catharines Chamber Music Society

    The first half of the program included two pieces, Piano Quartet in E-flat major, K. 493 composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Die Gebüsche composed by Franz Schubert. The most impressive piece for me was the first one. It was a chamber music from classical period. This concerto-like quartet had three movements, which gave us an echoing through the performance. There was a material between piano and strings that changes along the piece. The first movement was a sonata-form Allegro. A bright and genial opening establishes the major tone of the entire piece. This sonata-allegro also had a lot of narrow leaps which allows me feel lively. The second movement Larghetto was like a rapt dialogue between piano and strings. It started with solo piano. Then, it has a downcast and made me fell leisure. The third movement Allegretto was the finale of the piece, which has a moderately paced rondo. The characteristics of classical music include symmetrical, balanced phrases melody, dance rhythms, diatonic, tonic-dominant harmony, multimovement sonata-allegro form and homophonic. The violin tonic-dominant and the form of homophonic allowed me ensure that the piece is composed in Classical ear, but not from Baroque…

    Fall Choral Concert Essay

    The first piece I have picked out was “Oh, Had I Jubal’s Lyre” performed by Women’s Glee Club. I have heard a loud and sharp sounding piece. It started off with the soprano singing with a high pitch voice; then the alto with strong, gradually loud voice. The instruments were presented in this piece was piano and treble voices. The tempo throughout this piece are moderato and allegro. In other words, the tempo was repeating from moderate to fast. The song made me feels a little chilling, but also exciting because the dynamics were crescendo to forte, pianissimo combined with the fortepiano make it sound really sharp in an exciting way. I enjoyed this piece because it makes me feel happy as I listened along.…

    Music During The Baroque Period

    Music has developed a lot over the years. Classical music has evolved in a more gradual manner with a number of smaller revolutionary steps along the way. In the 9th to 14th centuries the development of music was documented in a physical form. This was where music could now be communicated efficiently, and succeeding generations would know something about the music of their ancestors. There where demands of the church that required a musical notation, and so the earliest written music was largely in Church music called Hymns. The plainsong of this time was still singlehanded, but that’s when the new developments were starting to appear.…

    The Baroque Style Analysis

    Within sixty years of the opera’s appearance, new concepts developed such as the aria, which similarly to a theatrical soliloquy, real time stops. “In an aria, the librettist provides words that pause and reflect and the composer creates music that interprets and deepens the emotions behind those words” (L12, 8:12). About “the year 1660, the aria had joined recitative as one of the two essential aspects of operatic dramaturgy” (L12, 30:21). “Unlike recitative in which the words carry the expressive message, in an operatic aria it is the music that carries the expressive message” (L12, 31:59). “The same Baroque advances in harmony; rhythm, motivic manipulation and melodic construction that led to the development of purely instrumental music…

    Eccles Baroque Music

    Son of Solomon Eccles and brother of John Eccles, Henry Eccles was a Baroque composer of British origin. He was a violin player of great caliber who played in the court of King Louis XIV from 1694 to 1710. Having found, what he felt to be, little to no recompense for his efforts in his native country, Eccles decided to move to Paris, France. It was in France where he was fortunate enough to find and obtain a position as a performer for the King of France's Band. It was also in France, in the year 1720, where Eccles was able to publish "Twelve Excellent Solos for the Violin" which contained sonatas, some of which contained borrowings from Giuseppe Valentini's op. 8, however, the most well-known sonata from the volume, number 11 in G minor seems to be for the most part of his own original work though the second movement does appear to be excerpted from Francesco Bonporti's Opus 10.…
