Concert Report #2
On October 19, 2010 at 7:30pm, I attended the Faculty Recital held in the Tullibody Recital Hall on the campus of Alabama State University. The program listed performers including: Ms. Brenda Luchsinger: french horn, Dr. Joel Jones: piano, and guest artist, Dr. Nicholas Kenney: french horn. The seats in the recital hall were full and the stage looked nice with a microphone, piano, and music stand set up ahead of time. The first to enter onto the stage was a french horn player: Ms. Brenda Luchsinger. She was dressed in flower-looking blouse, black skirt, and black dress shoes.

Brenda Luchsinger was accompanied by Dr. Joel Jones, who took his seat at the piano. Dr. Jones was dressed in a black suit. The two played a piece by Camille Saint-Saens called Morceau de Concert, which is translated into concert piece. According to the progam, the first movement is an allegro theme and variations which showcases a mixture of the horn's melodic and technical characteristics. The second movement is an adagio which displays the lyrical capabilities of the horn. During the second movement, Saint-Saens showcases the low register of the instrument and one of the horn's extended techniques known as hand-stopping - a form of muting the instrument with the player's right hand, which alters timbre. The third movement begins with a flowing cantabile section which quickly transforms into the most technically-challenging sections for the player, with its fast tempo and four-octave
