I attended a performance called Organists of Iowa at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall in Ames on Sunday‚ March 26th at 3:00pm. This was their 29th annual recital. The performers were Miriam Zach‚ James Bovinette‚ and Amy Christensen. Not only do these performers play instruments‚ but they also teach music. What really pleased me about this performance was the large organ. I have never seen such a musical instrument like that one before in person. The performance was very loud‚ but the music they

Morceau de Concert Written 1887 by Camille Saint-Saëns‚ the work for solo horn and piano was written first‚ the edition for solo horn and orchestra was developed later. The style is classical with hints of Romanticism. The form of the first movement is theme and variation‚ there are two themes that Saint-Saëns introduces and then develops from an eighth note pattern into a triplet pattern‚ and then into a sixteenth-note pattern. This is a piece that I am playing for juries and my lesson teacher

A time I wish I had spoke up as a leader was a couple of months ago when a past concert band member wanted to be apart of marching band. This individual had not attended band camp‚ which is a requirement if you want to be in marching band. The individual had family issues which prevented him from attending. Once school started he went to the first football with us and played the show music during class. I thought there would be an exception due to his circumstances of not being able to attend. Later

It was late‚ yet Neil and Riku decided to sit in on of the last performer of those Evening Concerts of students trying to adjust to the environment and dispose any fear of their audiences. The last performer was a sweet young woman who was obviously uncertain about this environment. I know that feeling‚ he said to himself. She chose to play Mozart’s B--flat major (K378) Sonata for piano and violin. Neil liked the choice and sat back hopefully. She played the first movement ’Allegro moderato’ beautifully

Chiderah Onyeukwu Professor Rhea Jacobus MUSIC 210 25 April 2013 Clemson Symphony Orchestra Concert Paper The first piece I chose to write about is Symphony No. 38 (“Prague”) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Clemson Orchestra did a wonderful job of doing this piece; I really enjoyed it. Because it was the first piece played‚ my ears were perked and I was listening very intently. The first movement has a mysterious and dark feeling to begin with but picks up and becomes more energetic as the piece

This year at PXHS there was a great musical called the Music Man. The musical was truly serious and hilarious. There were many phrases and jokes being said that I did not understand‚ but the adults did. I saw that the people who played the characters practiced hard on the dancing‚ singing and acting. They had to memorize many lines‚ especially Harold Hill and Marian Paroo. The musical took place in River City. It was a story about a librarian/piano teacher and a traveling salesman. At first‚ they
