Was Revealed: Thi This Symphony

307 Words2 Pages

feel like this piece is slightly different from the other pieces I have listened to. The violin in this piece was very skilled and played very nicely in this piece. It ranged in different pitches, from loud to quiet, slow to fast. I think the mood of this symphony is very cheerful because it is similar to background music in the movies when the characters are off to an adventure. I like how all the instruments played blend together naturally. This is what makes it sound very nice and calming. Sometimes, it sounds like there are birds singing in the background because of the light notes that are being played. This symphony may have been composed for an exciting event such as a wedding or awards ceremony. The composer may have officially composed this not very long ago. This is because it sounds somewhat modern but not too recent.

    Also, the tempo of the 4th movement truly helps me savor all the complexity and can listen to every single note of the piece. After the 4th movement is the Ode to Joy, the movement starts with the instruments, and then the chorus comes in. The Schiller's poem “Ode to Joy” inspired Beethoven to write this astonishing piece of music for people to listen. In fact, I noticed that many times orchestras play Beethoven much slower than he intended; however, it can help the audience easily to hear all the symphony. As a matter of fact, I’m not a fan of classical music, but for the pieces, the melody is peaceful and tender, overwhelming.

The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.

    Although I am not necessarily into classical concerts, I really enjoyed the serene tone that Updike set in place when writing this poem. The poem gives off such an ‘at peace’ vibe and the way it is written, Updike’s thoughts are conveyed smoothly. The theme of this poem is appreciation for music because when Updike says, “that held the holy glowing fantasy together.” , we can clearly see that the way the instruments come together and the way they make him feel. The colors Updike refers to in the poem like, “the vigor from the red, the blazing blue, so that the listening eye saw suddenly the thick black lines” are all examples of symbolism.
