...On Wednesday, April 4, I drove to Austin to go see University of Austin’s Butler School of Music Symphonic Band. This is my first time hearing a University symphony band live, and I enjoyed my experience listening to the students' performance. The performances comprised the Overture to ‘Candide’ by Leonard Bernstein, Shadows Ablaze by Kathryn Salfelder, Sound Asleep by Andrew Boss, Wanderlust by Brandon Scott Rumsey, and Aurora Awakes by John Mackey. I had heard none of these songs before attending the concert so my reaction is solely based on my first-time experience of the pieces. The Surroundings The room this concert was held in was Bates Recital Hall. My instant reaction towards this room was over how beautiful it looks. From my...

...I went to the SJSU Music Concert Hall on November 11,2015, and it costs 5 dollars for the ticket. When I arrived there, I saw that most of the audiences are SJSU students, and a few of them are professors. The audiences dressed casually, and I dressed casually as well because I think that I was a casual listener at the concert. When I was listening to different pieces, I felt amazing because I never heard this kind of music before. I enjoyed the slow tempo because it gives me the feeling of relax. The pieces that were performed are “ If You Walked A Mile”, “The Five”, “Variations for Abbey”, “Ion Trails”, “ A Different Drummer”, and “All Our Broken Instruments”. The musical style for “If you Walked A Mile” is classical and electric, for “The Five” is orchestra, and the rest of the pieces are classic and electric. There were drums, computer, marimba, gong, triangle, and timpani as instrumentation of the ensemble. There was no seating arrangement and there is only one performer....

...Sina Valizadeh Concert Report 2 03/19/14 Classical Music Concert Report The concert took place in Balboa Park at Spreckels Organ. I was there for about an hour and they played 7 songs. #1: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata from Symphony No.5, Opus 42 from Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) From the start of the song tempo was presto. It has a 1,2 rhythm and it is very simple overall until it goes toward the end of a song and you hear more different melodies. it had an amazing finishing. during the middle of the song you could've hear the middle parts with louder and harder melodies. #2: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata in D Minor, S. 565 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) This piece almost took 10 minutes and by far i can say is one of the best classical songs I've ever heard. it seems like a happy song. a lot of high pitch sounds and melodies were used in this song. tempo was combination of presto and moderato and it seems like its a dramatic song. #3: Sam Rudenberg: Prelude in G minor, BWV 556 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Very relaxing song, decent speed and largo tempo. i can say it is esspresione and it gets loud at the end of a song. #4: Sam Rudenberg: Finale from Janet Correll (b. 1942) Its a romantic era, it has a story line and a song like melody, usually it narrates a story about some one or a specific event that happened in the history. kind of slow tempo and a 1.2 rhythm. i heard a little bit of syncopation as well. #5: Jared Jacobsen: oh Danny boy...

...Driving to west from my address to Swallow Hill Music Center for 40 minutes one way at the evening was my first-time experience to the music concert in my life. I was a bit nervous when I arrived the place, but thanks to the receptionists at the front desk for warm welcoming and guidance. I took a middle row sit at the center of the hall and everything at the hall was a very nice, a well decorated light, attractive arts on the wall on the all the corners, the stage with five empty sits each with a microphone and a music stand at its front. Watching the performance and at the same time taking a note for my paper was also the only to do list for me. When time arrives, A young lady arrived a stage with a piece of paper and made a brief announcement about the concert and what they do, other notice like no photo graphs and others. Then Marrakech Express band arrived the stage with a full band instruments and after gaining the stage and awaiting the crowd’s silence, Samir El Yesfi begins picking the ‘ûd or lute which is what is called guitar in West accompanied by violin by Sandra Wong, Darbûka, the Moroccan bendir by Brett Bowen, and clarinet by Dexter Payne. After playing music for while Samir started singing “lama bada yatathana” which later I found on a YouTube being...

...On February 22 the Kettle Moraine School for Arts and Performance [KM Perform] will be presenting their own rendition of Little Shop of Horrors. Pulling off a cult classic like this seems to be a challenge at first glance. However so, Perform students are quickly rising to the occasion. Preparing for a musical is a tiresome, work-intensive process, much more than a mere snap of the fingers. Everyone working on this musical has only six to eight weeks to prepare. For the cast, there’s a lot to do, from music to choreography, and dialogue to monologues. “I think one of the challenges is the music because it is up tempo and fast paced and very wordy, like it’s all tongue twisters.” said Joy Bartoli, the voice of Audrey II. “The hardest part is the puppet because we won’t have a lot of time to work with it and we won’t even get it till much later. First of all learning how to use it, then timing with the songs and dialogue, that’d be a lot for the people working the puppet...

...Rock Music and Culture Report Music was always a big part of my life growing up. It is embedded in all my memories starting with the classical music my father listened to while he read. As a child Elvis Presley, Chubby Checker and The Twist was all the rage and 45rpm’s were the records I first collected. I remember when albums cost $2.99 and 45’s were 59 cents. A uniquely culturally popular hang-out my sister’s and I spent all our free time was the hardwood floor roller skating rink where music, dance and skating was combined. Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs "Wooly Bully" is an example of the songs popular at the skate rink. I was 8 in 1964 when The Beatles and The British Invasion hit the shores of the US. My family watched The Ed Sullivan Show...

...Opera is a fusion of many art forms that includes music, drama, costumes, design, and choreography. For instance, the characters and plot are performed through song. An opera is created by two people. First person is librettist who writes the text or libretto. Second person is composer who sets the text to music.

...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...
