Wind Music Concert Essay

The concert was a symphony Band, and Wind symphony. The concert was attended in Paul F. Sharp concert hall at Stanly B. Catlett. However, The concert conducted in the 15th, Oct 2015 at 8:00pm. The first piece on the program was Second Suite from the twentieth century period. Also, it consists of four movements of different speed and style. However, the first movement titled is March and the speed of this movement was Adagio in general but it contain fast short note that is different in speed and it gets slow when the play solo instrument. The rhythms of this movement contain a combination of solo trombone, which have the main melody and drum at the back. The timber of this movement is brassy. The second movement is titled Song without words,
The timber was worm, and smooth. Moreover, the texture of this movement is likely to be homophonic because many note and the main instruments were the woodwinds that have the main melody. I enjoy this movement Precisely because it is more emotional; they end this movement with slow short solo woodwind instrument. The third movement of this piece was titled Song of the Blacksmitb. The speed of this movement was Moderato, which makes it faster than the firsts movement; also it has some fast note. In this movement the timber was between brassy and harsh. Addition, in this movement all the lines was played at the same level since it very short movement, that makes it polyphonic. Nonetheless, the forth and the last movement of the first piece was titled Fantasia on the Dargason. This movement started with solo French horn. This movement has combination of the texture the monophonic and the polyphonic because there was some notes that the entire instrument played at the same level, on the other hand, there some note that one instrument has the main melody.

However, the guiro is the first time I see it astonished me it has very unique sound I can recognize it between many instruments and it gives amazing tone to the rhythm. The rhythm of this piece is predictable. This piece is consonant even you can dance with the rhythm, after I listen to the piece I understand what the conductor mean when he says jokes in his speech about dancing in the aisle.

However, I notice that at the end of every piece the conductor will make some players to stand up I think it mean that play very good then will let all the group to stands up. My favorite piece was Redwood from the twentieth century period. Before they begin there were some arranges and changes to the stage and they add and remove some instruments. This what makes enjoy this piece when they start the piece with an ordinary
