Concert Review:
“The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra”
On October 19, 2013 I sought out to listen to some classical music for my review for class. It was a pleasure to have found the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra at the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Oviedo, FL, a part of St. Luke’s concert series of 2013-14 that has been held in the last nineteen years here in Oviedo, FL. This free event that’s held each year at St. Luke church holds about three hundred people in there sanctuary, everything in the décor speak to your imagination Lutheran church. It was very nice it reminded me of a small concert hall. The orchestra fill the whole area were the choir usually sit. Christopher Wilkins, he conductor along within a full orchestra and Rimma Bergeron–Langlois the violinist, who all played four great suites from the genius of Georges Bizet, the piece from L’Arlesienne, Carmen suite, and Carmen fantasies, and Symphony in C’ that took you back in time. This classical music from the romantic era was breath taking. L’Arlesienne this first section was writing by Alphonse Daudet and composed by Bizet. The words L’Arlesienne translate “The Girl from Aries,” this was like a form of classical folk music. The conductor told the short story of the music, which is of the girl from Aries fall in love with a young peasant Frederi, who he later found out just before his wedding, that his girls has been infidelity. He goes crazy and kills himself. The first suite used a full symphony orchestra but without the chorus. The set opens with a strong, lively theme, which had Christmas theme played by violins. Afterwards, it’s continually by various sections. After reaching a high point, in this theme it fades away. The movements, resembles a minuet, while the thirds more emotional and low-key. The last movement features a preparing bell-tone pattern on the horns, mimicking a ringing of church bells. This rang of short solos, was intense

The first piece, Oxycotton, was performed by Tim Sanchez using the marimba. The second one, Acht Stucke, was performed by Samantha Post using the flute. Nicholas Gledhill using the horn performed the third piece, Blues and Variations for Monk. The last piece, Misty, was performed by CSU Graduate Brass Quintet. In this paper, I am going to write about the performances that I heard and about the different music elements that they used in each performance.…

    Holding truth today and in the past, attending classical concerts is hailed as a sign of both sophistication and style. Very reminiscent of 18th Century attendances at places like the Music Center at Strathmore, my noteworthy experience broadened my musical horizon. As a newcomer to classical concert-going, I was enthralled by the aural masterpieces and the alluring atmosphere. In partaking in the National Philharmonic's opening concert of the year at the Music Center at Strathmore, one experiences the warm ambiance of classical music in modern times while retaining its renowned value.…

    It was Monday, November 17 cold and snowy outside Ophelia Paris Concert Hall, Truman State University but inside it was all warmth and light as Elaine AuBuchon started the Double Reed Recital. Having not been to any actual classical music concert, I was excited to hear the talent that we have in our campus. I took it upon myself to go with an open mind, without having any previous predispositions that would affect my reaction to the concert. I just wanted to go in there, not knowing anything about the concert, and see what I hear in the music. This concert was open to anyone and free admission. The program presented a variety of styles…

    I attended concert Welcome Christmas 2014 performed by the Vocal Essence and The Ensemble singers on Friday December 5th from 7.30 to 9: 30 pm at the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, Apple Valley. The concert was conducted by Phillip Brunelle, narrated by Katherrine Fennard and fiddled by Sara Pajounen. Recording devices and cameras were prohibited it could have been a nice opportunity to record and listen again. I arrived just on time and the singers all dressed in black suites for men and black dresses for women processed silently as they took their spots on the stage according to the parts they were practicing for while the audience cheered for them as they took their spots on stage. As the choristers arrived the hall the musical prelude was going on with different instruments such as the flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, horn, trumpet, fiddle, violin, viola, cello, bass and percussion but the musicians stopped playing and cheered them as well. Everyone cheered them and then sat down and the deal began.…

    I attended The Works of Thomas Root on Tuesday, March 24th. It featured the Weber State University wind ensemble and symphonic band as well as the WSU Band Alumni. There were many pieces conducted and created by Thomas Root. Most pieces were still unpublished but they were wonderful nonetheless. He also had pieces that were dedicated to people that he had come to meet throughout his life, and a piece was dedicated to his own mother.…

    In 1869, when he was only twenty nine Tchaikovsky composed Romeo and Juliet. Tchaikovsky worked hard to capture the message of passion that was presented through Shakespeare’s play. He captured all the emotions and themes of the play and even down to the actions of the characters. Romeo and Juliet was an overture that he wrote with slow beginning and eventually a speedy sonata as to mimick the conflicts in the story. The music was used effectively to show the hatred between the families, the clashing of swords during fighting scenes and the deep passionate love Romeo and Juliet had for each other.…

    The Oglethorpe University Singers and the Oglethorpe Chorale performed the concert at Conant Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 1, 2015, at 8 pm. The concert setting was smaller than the other venues we visited for previous concerts. The room was semi-lit, and classmates filled the concert hall. The concert conventions were not surprising as we have attended other concerts, and the conventions were the same. The Oglethorpe Singer and the Oglethorpe Chorale performance was excellent, they were in sync, and everyone did great. It was my first concert, and I was very impressed because they sounded like professional musicians.…

    For the second time in my life I attended another jazz concert. On Wednesday, November 30, 2016 I went to the Morgy Craig Annual Memorial Jazz Scholarship Award Concert and it was put on by the Ball State Jazz Ensembles. The setting of the concert was at Sursa Hall, which sits on the corner of Riverside and McKinley Avenues, and is a beautiful concert hall that is brick on the outside and on the inside has wood paneling. The concert I found to be very incredible overall and twice as better as the first one which I did not find too impressing. This concert was undoubtedly exciting to anyone who attended in the way that every song played was in my opinion very energizing, but some better than the others and the concert had short, yet grammy winning solos. All of which compiled into a night that deemed unforgettable.…

    The concert review I am writing about is An American In Paris. An American In Paris was composed by George Gershwin in 1928. This specific performance that we watched in class was performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. This performance was very long and had many different parts to it. Amazingly this performance only have 1 movement, but a lot of sections. There were also many different textures. This song had it all. This is a modern era piece, and being that it of course incorporated brass. With the different amounts of instruments playing at the same time I would say this piece is blatantly homophonic. I would guess that most modern pieces would have to be homophonic with the amount of instruments that are involved, it would be hard for them not to be. As music as evolved through time more trends have been discovered thus making music much more complicated, but in the same time making it more appreciable. This piece had a lot of emotion in it, the title is “An American In Paris”. I would have to say that the song does a good job of depicting what it would be like to be in a unknown surrounding that is so massive. To me this song could almost be classified as a short story with the journey it takes you through. I really appreciated this song just because of the sheer effort that was put into it. I look forward to the last concert review of the year.…

    On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance consisted of three separate solos by vocalist, and ended the song like the last one as a group. The third performance of the night was personally interesting to me. Dr. Buchholz mentioned it was originated from Brazil by Sergio Mendez called “Brazil 66” and it was going to be sang in Portuguese. In this performance the rhythm section was more uptempo joined by the choir. The first soloist was vocals by Jennifer which fell back into the group then a small piano solo was performed which was joined by the rhythm section and choir to conclude the song. The fourth performance was Java Jive, Manhattan Transfer. The guitar from the rhythm section started at the same time as the choir. But this time only the male vocalist started the song and then the female ones joined. The fist male soloist, James, of the night was in this song, who was joined by Jennifer for her solo performance. The fifth and final performance for the first vocal ensemble was the first one that included horns, consisting of a trumpet, sax, and trombone. This song was a Paul Simon original “Bridge over trouble water”. All the vocalist started together along with the rhythm section. A male soloist took center stage which was joined with the horns sections. At first I had a…
