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

    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…

    Bach was performed by Katie McCrary on the piano. I felt the dynamics was moderately loud, the form was repetition, and the texture was monophonic. The genre is classical being from the 1600-1700’s, and the rhythm was lively. “Jingle Bells” by James Pierpont was performed by Kayla Flemming and Jennie Pine on the cello, and violin.…

    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.

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.…

    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 last extra piece featured was Trio where three artists were featured. In this piece the meter stays as compound but the tempo accelerates and becomes allegro. The instruments featured in this piece were oboe and flutes. It was one of the best pieces of the concert. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the concert.…

    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.…
