I attended a performance called Organists of Iowa at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall in Ames on Sunday‚ March 26th at 3:00pm. This was their 29th annual recital.

The noise from the chattering crowd receded as footsteps reverberated from where I walked. I nervously stood in the centre‚ breathless. The violin in my hand was drenched with sweat and my legs were shaking uncontrollably. My only resilience and my Beta-blocker were the fellow companions standing with me. This was my first ever orchestra performance in a grand theater. I sat down facing the conductor with my legs still not under control. One signal from the conductor‚ I let my heart do all the

The first intrigues me is the high notes. The clarinet solo performer has a skillful transform between high notes‚ and the piece ends with an altissimo C. The performer changes it nice‚ smooth and natural. The second part that intrigues me is the whole band makes a good combination. The other performers not only do not cover the clarinet’s sound‚ but also set off the advantages of the clarinet. It makes a good harmony. The last thing is the emotions. The performers perform the characteristics of
