    Utah Symphony and Utah Opera: a Merger Proposal

    Utah Symphony and Utah Opera: a Merger Proposal

    The Utah Symphony (USO) and the Utah Opera (UOC) Merger was a union that was brought forth by the leadership committee at the USO in Salt Lake City. The proposal was an opportunity to strengthen a struggling symphony with a financially sound opera company. Although mergers between opera and symphony companies in the United States had been successfully in the past, the merging of a two major companies had yet to materialize (Delong & Ager, 2005, p. 2). William Bailey, Chairman of the Board for the Utah Opera Company had motivation to move forward with the merger. Successfully combining the two companies the size of Utah’s Opera and Symphony Orchestra would be a first in the nation, and set precedence for others to follow. If the merger were successful, the proposed name of the new organization would be the Utah Symphony & Opera (USUO), and with its potential draw, it had the power to elevate the Opera to the national stage making it a tier-one organization, affiliating it with other such powerhouses to the likes of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In comparison to other major operas, its viability to increase the current combined annual endowment 10 fold was a likely probability. The merger did not come without opposition. Carolyn Abravenal, widow to the longstanding maestro and music director to the USO publicly denounced the new company. Scott Parker, Chairman to the Utah Symphony is best suited to discuss the merger with…

    Implications of the Classical Symphony

    The classical era brought about a plethora of changes which drove western music into a brand new direction. Whereas the Renaissance period brought about enlightenment and the breaking away of traditional religious music, and the Baroque period exploding the provisions of artistic expression, the Classical period came back to square one and established systemized order. Although we no longer have the same verbosity of the Baroque era, the Classical period combined the elements of order and grace to achieve a more widespread method of entertainment and culture. Among these elements is the classical symphony, which was established by Joseph Haydn. Though many other genres existed at the time, it was the symphony that stood out and clearly represented the substance of the Classical period.…

    Comparing Classical and Romantic Music through the finale of Mozart's "Clarinet Quintet" and Mahler's Symphony no.1 in D major "Titan"

    The Music of the classical and Romantic era is a period of time where it shows the development and different styles of music. This can be shown through the manipulation of musical elements, (dynamics, pitch, tempo, rhythm, texture, meter, tonality, structure, melody, harmony, instrument) while contrasting them, but it can also be shown through the composers of the music, the size of the orchestra, musical directions, emotional content, and non-musical developments through that period of time.…

    Ao Orchestra Research Paper

    I believe that I should be in the Ao Orchestra because my heart is dedicated to music. Every day when I get home from school I put 30-45 minutes into piano practice every day. Musical instruments have always impressed me and have brought a strange joy to my heart. Everyday I strive to improve at least 1 thing about me, whether it be school related, music related and even social related. Piano may be my most played instrument, but I truly enjoy the violin a lot more. The great excitement of becoming an Orchestra member has always thrilled me Through out 1 ¾’s of years experience my love for music has changed drastically. When I was first introduced to the violin, I wanted to skip practice, everything string I played made a displeasing plunk…

    The Colorado Symphony Orchestra Analysis

    Music rings out from the center stage and bounces around the auditorium elegantly as if it were a metaphysical dancer. The symphonic grace entices all of those who are in range to hear it which is why Rod Hoffman sits in the second row of the middle aisle three seats deep from the left side of the orchestra. Completely submerged in the melody he is enveloped by a sort of transcending feeling. Words are rarely able to describe the joy that he feels by attending the concerts of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. It takes him many weeks to find a means to culminate all of his emotions that he felt from the performance into a review that can properly display not only his reaction but still give an oversight that convinces others to give the orchestra…

    Orchestra Star Wars Essay

    In the movie “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” music is used to enhance the mood of the film. All of the scenes in the movie had music to represent what was happening at that point. For example, Leitmotif is a term which came from German opera to represent a character, place or idea being used in that clip. Also through composed is used in the movie which is music that has common forward motion. Leitmotif is very influential on the movie because without it the movie would lack character. The character Darth Maul is a good example. Whenever he comes into the scene the music gets very tense and low pitched which makes the viewer think something bad is going to happen. The music helps show that he is a villain by playing very dark shady music. The music helps describe things without the use of words which is a very effective way of depicting Darth Maul and that he is a villain and going to cause trouble.…

    Mozart Symphony 4

    My listening selection that I chose from the classical era was ¬¬¬Mozart’s Symphony #40 in G Minor K 550. This piece was composed in 1788. The tempo of this piece is molto allegro and the rhythms are fairly simple. Syncopation is used in this piece as well with homophonic texture. The piece is mainly quite with development to a louder section in the middle, but ends softly. The exposition of the piece demonstrates the quietness that is seen, but contains a small louder section. The recapitulation is very similar to how the exposition is composed. The majority of the dynamic parts are sudden with very little build up to crescendos or diminuendos. There are… This is piece has been described by being a muted struggle against out of controllable…

    Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

    Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is arguably one of his greatest and most popular symphonies. As Beethoven’s last symphony, the Ninth contains many great musical ideas that takes the symphony to new levels while ensuring that its structure meets the traditional expectations of the symphony. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony represents the culmination of the Viennese Classical tradition through its increased emphasis on musical space, alteration in the ordering of the scherzo and slow movement, and the presence of voices in its finale.…

    Chicago Symphony

    If you are a serious music lover or musician the two best seats imo is the front balcony in the nosebleed Gallery, you can SEE everything and the sound mixes up; AND the much more expensive Terrace seats behind the orchestra FACING the conductor. I remain a gallery first row balcony fan but it is interesting to trade once in awhile for the Terrace seats (side lets you see the musicians better than center imo) although the acoustics are odd there versus how the music blends up in the balconies, plus remember the musicians will not be facing you. FYI the stairs are quite steep up in the gallery and not for everyone (lose the high heels). When you buy the season packages the discount on the package brings the Gallery seats close to $25.…

    Beethoven's Sixth Symphony

    “He (Beethoven) was a pivotal figure in the transition from 18th century musical classicism to 19th century romanticism, and his influence on subsequent generations of composers was profound” Kerman and Tyson. Beethoven’s sixth symphony (also known as the pastoral symphony) has qualities of both the classical and romantic periods and illustrates Beethoven’s revolutionary ideas as well as highlights his classical influences. The programmatic nature of the piece is the dominant romantic feature although the use of brass and percussion as well as the dramatic dynamic changes are also characteristics from this era. However there are many classical influences in Beethoven’s work such as the balanced phrasing, the dominance of the strings in various movements and especially the use of the tonic and dominant throughout the entire piece (sub-dominants were a common attribute of romantic pieces). The various classical and romantic elements of Ludwig van Beethoven’s music are demonstrated throughout this symphony.…

    R. Murray Schafer's Soundscape: The Tuning Of The World

    The main argument of R. Murray Schafer's Soundscape: The Tuning of the World is to understand the world through ears by learning soundscapes. Schafer shows a perception-driven strategy for us to understand the community from an aural perspective.I am interested about how he introduced the revolution of soundscape chronologically. The revolution of soundscape is embedded within the development of technology, which helps me to differentiate distinct sound elements and allows me to understand how the soundscape is analogous to an orchestra ensemble or a musical composition. I am skeptical about the notation of soundscape andI found it is paradoxical because the notation is a visual system using symbols, graphics and data to represent the soundscape,…
