Rotating Leaders: Orpheus Orchestra The Orpheus Orchestra is a unique full function‚ Grammy winning‚ twenty eight (28) member‚ Orchestra. Orpheus is considered unique because it is comprised of world class musicians who perform and practice without a conductor. Because of this fact Orpheus has been described as being leaderless‚ but this is not the case as each member is a leader and is given the opportunity to contribute to the innovation and creativity of the Orchestra. This type of structure

What features of the Haydn Symphony Lamentatione show that it was written in the classical period (10 marks) Firstly‚ Haydn has written this piece using Sturm Und Drang (in English‚ Storm and Stress). Features of this which are evident in the piece include: Beginning in a minor key‚ the tense harmony in some of the minor-key writing (arising principally from diminished seventh chords and the suspensions)‚ and the rhythmic tension of the opening‚ in which violins‚ doubled by oboes‚ are syncopated

Über Alles" and‚ after World War II‚ the Austrians adopted a new national anthem. Davis recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-104 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam around 1977. I think these performances are the best of the conventional interpretations of these Symphonies. Beecham recorded Haydn Symphonies 93-98 in 1958‚ and Symphonies 99-104 in 1960‚ both with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for EMI. Beecham’s performances are marked (marred?) by a number of omissions and idiosyncrasies‚ but

The symphony is an orchestral work‚ primarily homophonic in style‚ without a division between the orchestra and the soloist‚ which is the main factor that distinguishes it from the concerto. It originated from Italy around the 1730s‚ and it is developed from the Italian Sinfonia‚ or also known as the opera overture‚ and it took off and spread across Europe later on. In the 1700s‚ opera overtures had a three-movement structure. The first movement is a fast movement (Allegro)‚ followed by a slow

Germaine Armstrong Professor Hale MU2313 Critique Paper When I went home last weekend I attempted to go to the Arlington Museum of Art. Unfortunately the museum was closed due to the fact that they where changing exhibits and would not reopen until the following week. I returned back to San Marcos and decided I would go to The Wittliff Collections here on campus. To my surprise it was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Being on just one floor of a building I thought it would be a

Band vs. Orchestra When you hear the word “orchestra‚” you typically think of the “Trans-Siberian Orchestra‚” or the “New York Philharmonic‚” but when you hear “concert band‚” what comes to mind? Maybe‚ you think of a marching band you once saw at halftime on your Sunday game or the high school band that played the boring‚ dragging tune at your graduation ceremony. Although the two ensembles are closely related‚ the main difference in the two orchestras is instrumentation. A concert band‚ unlike

If you are a serious music lover or musician the two best seats imo is the front balcony in the nosebleed Gallery‚ you can SEE everything and the sound mixes up; AND the much more expensive Terrace seats behind the orchestra FACING the conductor. I remain a gallery first row balcony fan but it is interesting to trade once in awhile for the Terrace seats (side lets you see the musicians better than center imo) although the acoustics are odd there versus how the music blends up in the balconies‚ plus

One of the actions I perform out of compassion and kindness is stacking chairs and music stands after rehearsing with my orchestra. It’s a lot of work because there are a lot of people‚ and our director is often left to it by himself. He’s an older gentleman‚ so it’s hard on him to lift the heavy chairs and walk back and forth while picking up all the music stands. Mentally‚ I am thinking about he difficult it would be for him to perform this task if he were left by himself. It would take him a long

by Mahler For our second Assignment of Renegade Thought‚ I chose to attend the Symphony No. 1 in D‚ "Titan‚" written by Gustav Mahler. The concert was held in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Center downtown on September 24‚ 2009. The conductor of this performance was named Jaap van Zweden‚ and the first part of the show featured a cello soloist named Nina Kotova. Although this was my first experience going to a symphony performance‚ overall I found the concert to be surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable
