Sample Concert Review Brazil

The concert that I reviewed is the Guitar Studio Recital featuring The Oakland University Saxo-Ensemble. I love listening to guitars so I figured that this was the perfect concert for me. It was very creative because the Saxophone players were dressed up as zombies and the composer was dressed up as death and he used his scythe to compose the ensemble. Halloween, being one of my favorite holidays, this was a nice surprise. I am glad that I attended this concert because it the pieces were not too long, so it was easier to be attentive to the whole concert. I wish I could write about all the songs, but these ones were my favorites, and I also included one that I did not really care for.
The first song I am going to review is “The Brazil”, performed
This piece also had no composer. It is a piece written in the romantic period by Federico Moreno Torroba. It starts off as adagio and piano. It stays at a piano, but speeds up to andante. There was an accelerando about a minute in. Then it starts to crescendo, but it drops back down to piano immediately. Throughout the whole song it stayed at a mezzo piano and the tempo was a adagio. Near the end it started to decrescendo and ended as a largo. I could not really detect any meter in this song. The melody was very conjunct and tuneful. The harmony was consonant. The texture of this piece was legato, it was not scattered at all. The timbre of this song is tender because of how delicately he was playing the guitar, almost as if he played it a little harder all of the strings would break. It is monophonic because it was only one person playing one instrument. The adagio tempo made me happy. The piano dynamic made me feel relaxed just because of how softly he was playing it. This piece was not one of my favorites because it was very quiet the whole time and it made me feel a little bit sleepy. I really did not like how soft the noise was. It made me imagine birds flying through the sky on a warm summer
