Concert Report On November 11, 2014, the Kutztown University Department of Music had their third Student Recital of the semester in Schaeffer Auditorium at 7:30 pm. The Department of Music performed thirteen pieces of music including Etude Op. 25, No. 1, Somebody, Somewhere from The Most Happy Fella, Concerto for Piccolo and Orchestra, Op. 50, and many more. To start out the night, Steven M. Paszkowski performed Frédéric Chopin’s Étude Op. 25, No. 1. Chopin was a polish composer of the Romantic period. There was harmony in this piece along with variation. The meter was ¾ and the dynamic was mezzo forte. Following Paszkowski, Elizabeth Weimor, a soprano, performed Somebody, Somewhere from The Most Happy Fella by Frank Loesser of the 20th century. This piece had a melody and a meter of 4/4. There was sonata and the piece was pianissimo due to its softness. The third performance was by Fawn Guasta on the piccolo, and Atsuko Egawa on the piano. They performed Concerto for Piccolo and Orchestra, Op, 50: I. Andante Comodo composed by Lowell Liebermann in the 20th century. There was a harmony and a theme. There was also a meter of 2/4 and the piece was fortissimo. The next piece was a piece from Paul Reade, called Suite from the Victorian Kitchen; I. Prelude. This was written in the 20th century and had a meter of 2/4. I found this piece to be pianissimo for its soft sounds. As well as having a harmony and variation.
The fifth performance was by Katriana Lienbach; she performed Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, by Edvard Grieg on the piano. This piece is from the Romantic period. It was written in 1896 as a memorial of the 25th wedding anniversary of Grieg and his wife. Edvard was a Norwegian composer and a pianist. The dynamics of this piece is mezzo piano. I found this piece to be mezzo piano due to its moderate softness. The meter seemed to be ¾, and it had a melody. I distinguished the form as variation. The sixth piece performed

    The in class concert with three performances that I attended on 15th of February was an very interesting experience for me as I have not been to a classical music concerts that often. 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.…

    On Monday, 18 November 2013 at 7:30 p.m. in Evergreen Presbyterian Church the Rhodes College Orchestra and Wind Ensemble performed the Baroque-N Christmas. The event was open to the public, to share their joy for the upcoming holiday. The program included the Palladio, the Suite for Strings, the Chasing Sheep is Best Left for Shepherds, the Alleluia, the Variants on a Mediaeval Tune, and the Concerto Grosso in G Minor, Op.6, No.8. I was very eager to attend the concert because the Baroque-N Christmas included works from the Baroque Era, which is my favorite period of artistic style. Leah McGray was the conductor and Jennifer Rote was the flute soloist for the Rhodes College Wind Ensemble; I don’t remember their being a concert master, which I thought was odd.…

    Personally notable movements from the first piece of the program, Piano Trio in C Minor, Op. 2, are Andante and Vivace. Pappone, “lauded as a ‘first rate’ violinist by Maestro Lorin Maazel” and founder of the non-profit Delius Music Academy (Mallory Concert Series Program), executed technique perfection from my hearing. His pianoforte was divine and every note softly washed over the audience with pitch precision. Moving from the second to the third movement there was an exaggeration of sad drama. Even by looking at the instrumentalists faces it was clear this was far from an upbeat movement; as the three instruments meshed together in a gloomy way to match the weather. The end of the selection seemed to involve a…

    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…

    The first piece that was performed was Lasst uns Erfreuen, which translates to "Let us please you". It originally is a sacred hymn that was published in 1906. In the program, it states that the piece that Thomas Root played was the Festive Variation of the song. It was written as a commission by Elko, Nevada High School. Out of all of Root's works, this one is the most frequently performed. As it starts, the tempo is allegro, then quickly slowed down to andante. The tempo changed quite a lot throughout the piece. The genre would probably be modern, but it also sounds classical. Modern Classical, perhaps. I enjoyed this piece, it was very energetic. I believe this was in common time, as for what the meter was. The harmony was homophonic and in ABA form.…

    The first half of the program included two pieces, Piano Quartet in E-flat major, K. 493 composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Die Gebüsche composed by Franz Schubert. The most impressive piece for me was the first one. It was a chamber music from classical period. This concerto-like quartet had three movements, which gave us an echoing through the performance. There was a material between piano and strings that changes along the piece. The first movement was a sonata-form Allegro. A bright and genial opening establishes the major tone of the entire piece. This sonata-allegro also had a lot of narrow leaps which allows me feel lively. The second movement Larghetto was like a rapt dialogue between piano and strings. It started with solo piano. Then, it has a downcast and made me fell leisure. The third movement Allegretto was the finale of the piece, which has a moderately paced rondo. The characteristics of classical music include symmetrical, balanced phrases melody, dance rhythms, diatonic, tonic-dominant harmony, multimovement sonata-allegro form and homophonic. The violin tonic-dominant and the form of homophonic allowed me ensure that the piece is composed in Classical ear, but not from Baroque…

    The first piece started on three strings playing together in dissonance harmony with a gloomy mood. Quickly afterwards, the violin led a main theme in the introduction part. Since this piece formed a theme and variation, the piece’s main them was repeated over and over, but it was changed each time in terms of harmony, dynamics, and mood and so on. According to the program note, the piece consists of seven variations on a folk-tune (“community chamber concert”). Whenever the changed theme was played, I felt like I heard totally new pieces. The main theme plucked by the violin was the most interesting part to me because the tone color of the violin was more lively compared to that of other…

    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.…

    First on the program was Grand Quartet in E Minor by Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-1832). Kuhlau was a concert pianist and a composer of the Danish opera; he composed over 200 works in his lifetime. The first work the ensemble preformed was Andante Maestoso, the intro to the song was very soft, and it had a sense of a nature vibe to the melody. The pitch then proceeded to escaladed higher; at points during the work it was changing from all four flutes playing in unison to just one stand out flute and the rest in a base beat. I really enjoyed the change of pace throughout the song and how one flute stood out showed off that person’s unique set of skills that maybe differs them from the rest of the ensemble. The work ended in a very fast paced rhythm and there was no insinuation that the work was going to end because there was no build up to the finale of the work. I really enjoyed this piece but the only down fall was it was very long and none of the other songs in the ensemble were nearly that long.…
