I was unable to attend either of the two symphony orchestra concerts this semester due to my busy schedule as a rugby player‚ however‚ I had attended a symphony orchestra concert last Fall semester with my girlfriend for her St. Josephs College music class at the Stony Brook University Staller Center. I was hesitant to use this experience as it was slightly over a year ago and I fear that I may have forgotten certain important details. I can still remember certain key elements from the concert

I have never been personally a fan of the romantic orchestra music but going to listen to a concert live is breathtaking. I attended the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra‚ Masterpieces concert with music director Fouad Fakhouri performing Igor Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No.1 in D major. There was a full stage of musicians and a complete choir to back it up. The first half of the performance was a complete orchestra of woodwinds‚ strings‚ drums‚ brass‚ excreta and a

One of the actions I perform out of compassion and kindness is stacking chairs and music stands after rehearsing with my orchestra. It’s a lot of work because there are a lot of people‚ and our director is often left to it by himself. He’s an older gentleman‚ so it’s hard on him to lift the heavy chairs and walk back and forth while picking up all the music stands. Mentally‚ I am thinking about he difficult it would be for him to perform this task if he were left by himself. It would take him a long

Comparing the Film Black Orpheus and the Original Greek Myth The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is one that has been retold countless times over the years. It started as a Greek myth‚ later being made into a movie titled Black Orpheus. After reading the myth and watching the movie‚ it is easy to see that there are far more differences in the two works than similarities. These differences are not only in the way the story is told‚ but also in the organization of the events that take place and

The Red Orchestra was an umbrella term adopted by the Nazi secret police when describing those who were plotting against the Third Reich.The term Red Orchestra was used because each person in the plot was given a musical term. There were many plots to assassinate Hitler during the war. After the important Soviet victory at Stalingrad in early 1943‚ when it looked as though the tide was turning against the German army‚ a serious assassination attempt was planned by a group of German military officers

Band vs. Orchestra When you hear the word “orchestra‚” you typically think of the “Trans-Siberian Orchestra‚” or the “New York Philharmonic‚” but when you hear “concert band‚” what comes to mind? Maybe‚ you think of a marching band you once saw at halftime on your Sunday game or the high school band that played the boring‚ dragging tune at your graduation ceremony. Although the two ensembles are closely related‚ the main difference in the two orchestras is instrumentation. A concert band‚ unlike

performance‚ but Orpheus definitely stood out to me during my reflection of the play afterward. Orpheus was striking from the first scene‚ not because of his appearance but of the role he seemed to play. He’s shown to be an intelligent young man living in dire straits‚ the same as the other drug addicted youths he constantly hangs around with. He has no money but always seems to get his hands on drugs with enough frequency to sell them to other people‚ like the Skinhead boy. Orpheus felt like real
