Mueller Concert Report
Wichita native Dr. Brain Mueller returned to a Wichita stage for a marimba solo. Mueller, a Wichita State University graduate, joined the WSU Impulse Percussion Group for their Marimba Spiritual concert. The concert was held at Miller Concert hall Monday evening. Directed by Gerald Scholl, the IPG played a diverse set of seven songs. The first song, titled “Fractalia” was a beautiful piece. It was slow, but powerful and sounded as if the audience was transported to the rainforest.
The next song was more fast-paced and had greater instrument variation. The use of the color lights during the performances was remarkable. The performances all generated great imagery. Mueller than had a marimba solo, where he performed three pieces

    The area the performance did fall short was the performers did not seem engaged in the music and were just going through the motions. In-between a few selections, performers would switch seats, which I felt broke up the performance. Also between the two sections, the performers exited the stage, which I felt was awkward because you could hear the performers talking behind the stage. However, both conductors were fluid with their motions and bowed between each selection to mark the completion of one selection and the beginning of another.…

    When I wondered how the Orchestra would reinvent the sound of Jimmy Page’s guitar, I did not expect an electric guitar and an electric violin to be the answer. The electric violin was shaped like a flying V guitar, which is an appreciated pun that I am not sure the performer intended to make. In addition to this question, the problem of Robert Plant’s vocals were solved through the singer of a local cover band. While not spot on, the performer’s vocals were sensational enough to have the entire hall rocking.…

    The tempo was medium-paced, but fairly fast. The dynamics were exceedingly powerful and impactful towards the audience. Both of the male and female voices were equal in distribution and neither of the groups overpowered each other. The members of the choir performed with such aggressive vocals and displayed strong passion; their cheerful attitudes filled the atmosphere of the room. The last few minutes of the program were concluded with a compelling, effective ending.…

    The performance started at about nine o’clock. On that night professor O’Neal was doing a lot of jobs including a bass guitar player, singer, and the composer of this concert. He received rounds of applause as soon as he stood on the stage. There was twelve pieces of melody in this brilliant performance. The first song was “Black Butterfly,” and of course the composer is professor Kevin O’Neal who also started with a bass solo, and later on, piano and drum with a fast beat changed the slow bass beat, and then all the three instrument joined together. I think this piece of music was showing the beautiful black butterfly’s journey of life. It made me wonder the taste of nature and the freedom in the sky.…

    Name of the first song was “Be my love”. They started a song with very bright tone and middle fast tempo. This song created very lively feeling and gave audiences little bit information about what kind of music they were going to perform during the concert. This song was great opener because this song made audiences get involved in the concert such as clapping their hands and tapping with their feet to feel the rhythm and tempo.…

    The concert that I attended at Yale University on November eighteenth was called Symphonie Fantastique. During the concert, the band played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, William Tell Overture, and Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. The music was excellent and played with much expertise. Each piece was performed well. I enjoyed listening to the extravagant music with very few mistakes.…

    The reason I liked this song was because of how upbeat it was from the start. The song highlighted the trumpet, like the original. The tempo was fast and had a very happy vibe to the piece. I thought putting it in the middle of the concert was a good idea to get peoples energy level up again after some of the slower songs. This was a great song that featured the brass section and got peoples…

    The performance to this song was great colors and sounds. Consisted of twelve members and eight of them were playing the xylophone. The rest were playing differents instruments such as the drums. It was a very slow performance with different pitches. At times it sounded like footsteps and other times like Christmas. Passionately every member played their piece throughout the performance.…

    Upon entering the Valley Performing Art Center, I was greeted by an usher that was handing out programs. The auditorium had large curved pieces of wood on the roof for better acoustics. On the stage was a large backdrop with numerous amounts of different colored lights shining on it. The stage was oriented in such a way where each musician could be seen. The band consisted of a piano, vibraphone, guitar, bass, drums, and an ensemble of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, flutes, and clarinets. The audience sat in seats in front of the band on the first floor and I was seated near the front. The show started with the John Daversa giving an introduction of the show and the special guests. Throughout the concert, special musicians got to come to the front and play solos into a microphone.…

    The Christmas music was played very well and conveyed the happy times of Christmas. They played in many different styles which really showed how versatile their band is. I really enjoyed seeing a grown-up group where they are not professional musicians. It opened up my eyes to other people that enjoy playing music without it being all they do. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert and thought that it was a success.…
