On December 2nd, 2015 I went to see MTSU’s Jazz Ensemble I and II perform in the Wright Music Building on MTSU’s campus. The concert was held in room 107 which is the rehearsal hall. There not many people there, only ten to fifteen people at most at any given time. Everything was very informal and only students attended the concert. The students that were performing were dressed nicely, but casually. The concert started a few minutes early and the Jazz Ensemble II performed first, which I found strange. I did not recognize any of the songs performed but I did enjoy the concert. Apparently, the two ensembles were two different jazz classes and the Jazz Ensemble II focused on improvisation. The Jazz Ensemble I had graduate student composers and …show more content…

All the concert information was written on the board in the back, and I could not see it very well. For this ensemble I picked this piece as my favorite because I just did not like either of the other pieces. For the Jazz Ensemble I my favorite piece was the last one to be performed.
Ensemble I my favorite piece was the last one performed. Unfortunately, I do not have the name for this piece as I could not see the board. I liked this piece because the main solo and melody was played on an upright bass. I love the deep sound of this instrument and this piece was also uplifting and cheerful. All the pieces performed were performed well and there was nothing really to dislike about the concert all things considered. My least favorite piece from the whole concert was the last one performed by the Jazz Ensemble I. Most of the piece was improved solos and I just did not like most of them. The piece is titled “Shuffle Time” and it was quite long. I felt that many of the solos did not fit in with the music being played in the background. Everything seemed to be disorganized and I understand that the performers are learning, but a lot of the solos sounded choppy. Some of the music did not sound nice and I have never liked music that was improvised and I knew

Subjective Reaction: This piece was unique from the others in that it was comical and playful. It was refreshing break from the slow Gregorian chants and darker themed music. In fact, it had much of the audience laughing. This piece got its liveliness and personality from the choirs dancing and use of props.

I attended the concert in Punta Gorda on October 19th at The Charlotte Performing Arts Center. The concert presented the Port Charlotte High School Wind Orchestra followed by Florida Gulf Coast University Wind Orchestra. FGCU’s wind orchestra was conducted by Dr. Rod Chesnutt. The first piece they played was Danse Bacchanale (1877) by Camille Saint-Sales from “Samson and Deliliah”. The final piece performed was Jug Blues and Fat Pickin (1986) by Don Freund.

The concert was held in an exceedingly luxurious environment which put everyone in the audience in a jubilant mood. The audience would tap their feet along to the catchy rhythm, then would cheer with an electrifying applause after each piece was performed. The band continued to draw the crowd’s attention by having every musician on the stage play their own solo in each song. When Byron Stripling and the Jazz St. Louis Big Band performed the last piece in their set of the night they ended it with every musician on stage shouting “Clark Terry” to end the exquisite

Attending this ensemble brought back a few memories of when my mother played jazz at home. There were 6 pieces of music that were performed and throughout each piece the music became better. In the mood indigo piece the trumpet, trombone, and saxophone stood out to me the most. The tempo throughout the piece alternated from slow, moderate, and fast. But I like Jazz pieces because

Because it was a musical, the sound effects had to be perfect in order for a good preformance, and that it was. The preformers used approbnbpiate microphones for the various scenes; vintage microphones for the 1940s and 1950s songs and scenes from that time period theater preformances for example. The sound was not as crisp during these scenses, bringing the viewer into the world and time period of the song. Like from the video, this was very subtle and I would not have noticed had the lady next to me not pointed it out. The next element were the light schemes.

It was louder and fast pace again. Some of the parts sounded really familiar, especially when the trumpet took over and played louder than the rest of the instruments. I once again did not catch the name of the piece being played. When the five men were over with their songs, the UMD jazz band came out. There was a lot more instruments for the next songs that were to be played.

Yet, what mattered to the individuals were the respective talents of the musicians involved ”(). It was not a normal thing for both races to participate in a recording session, especially when it came to recording in a racist state. But this didn’t stop musicians from continuing. Quickly the combined race jazz grew in popularity which led to more white musicians wanting to be more involved. The acceptance of both white and black musicians working together became apparent.

The Santa Fe Evening of Jazz was a great concert featuring the Rhythm and Blues, Jazz Combo, and Big Band from Santa Fe College with special guest Professor Scott Wilson from the University of Florida Jazz Studies. This Evening of Jazz was the ninth one to be held and was superbly done; getting a ticket was quick and simple, finding a seat was as easy, and leaving was not hard. The whole performance was led by Doctor Steven Lee Bingham who also played with all the bands on the alto saxophone along with giving information about each band, song, scholarship players, and on Mr. Wilson and his unique instrument called a E.V.I.. The audience had a pleasant feel, everyone was talking and laughing before and after the performance, they also were

On the day of Sunday April 10th, I went to a jazz ensemble concert at the Trinity University Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. This hall was much larger than the previous performance I attended. My first impression of the group was that they were relaxed and comfortable. For instance, when the drummer winked the drummer gave when the director explained his switch from the trumpet to drums.

Before this I had never attended a classical concert, so this was a new experience for me. This concert was worthwhile because not only was it affordable, it was also great for the price. Each song made me feel different, I could sense the emotion coming from these songs and the way the musicians played together added a feeling of satisfactory altogether. The venue had a large impact on the performance. The Nightingale Concert Hall provided great acoustics for the performances and fit well with the overall style of the concert.

I attended to a concert performed by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on November 13th this year. This concert took place in the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. I chose to attend to this concert because I have never been to a performance by any youth orchestra, I was curious to see how their performance would compare to other orchestras. The first of the three piece that were performed in this concert was Maenads’ Dance, from The Bassarids, composed by Hans Werner Henze. A variety of instruments were used in this piece, including woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.

This piece consisted of two different movements. The second part of it was a lot more allegro, upbeat, and energized. It symbolized the eternal love that no one, not even a powerful king, could take away. The whole orchestra had more active roles and a polyphonic texture. Together they made a beautiful

I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school

I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and love for music, which was very noticeable during his performance. I enjoyed his part in the song and his great skills on the piano. The rhythm of a song allows the audience to add their own motion to the unique beat and “Concord Blues Plus 8” created an entertaining beat that I appreciated greatly. When I was younger I played the piano, so I felt I could relate the most with that instrument and could understand the piano part the best. The songs that were played at the concert added depth to the course because all the musicians were very talented and brought a great jazz experience to the concert.
