Concert Review #2
The concert I attended on November 27, 2017 was a Senior Trumpet Recital featuring Daniel Rhu, with accompaniment from Winifred Goodwin on the piano. The recital was given in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Daniel Rhu’s Bachelors of Music in Trumpet Performance.
• Trumpet Concerto in D Major (Johann Friedrich Fasch): o Allegro-This piece had a very syncopated, simple meter and large dynamic range in that showcased Mr. Rhu’s abilities very well. This section was overall enjoyable to listen to. o Largo-To match this section’s “Largo” namesake, the piece did not have a clear form or rhythm and every note was played in a legato style. o Allegro (Tempo di Minuetto)-This piece featured the orchestra more with a polyphonic …show more content…

Rhu and the pianist end all their phrases with musical consonance, which is very pleasing as an audience member to listen to. o Andante-This piece was compound in meter with a melody that stayed almost exclusively in the middle range of the trumpet. This allowed Mr. Rhu to show off his tone quality. o Allegro-This was a very interesting (and probably my favorite) piece. It was organized in ternary form, however, the ‘B’ in the ABA style was always different than the ‘B’ section before it, however, the piece would always return to the same ‘A’ section. The piece seemed difficult from a technicality standpoint with a very large range of pitches, coupled with an allegro tempo and an abundance of ritardando and accelerando sections. Mr. Rhu did a wonderful job executing this piece and was great to listen to.
• Sonate für Trompete und Klavier (Paul Hindemith) o Mit Kraft-This piece was in a minor key and had a 6/8 time signature. almost all the notes were swung, while the piano accompaniment led the charge in any dynamic/timing changes. This piece was very interesting because it seemed almost like it had a jazz influence despite being of German origin during World War II

Within the first section of the theme, Fisher Tull displays the trumpet’s wide range abilities. Not only does the first measure of the solo trumpet’s entrance covers a scale of over a fourteenth (one octaves plus a minor 7th) , the first section of this works also requires the trumpet to cover over two octaves in a relative short period of time. In addition, Tull’s use of extensive phrases makes this theme unique. Throughout the theme section Tull does not rely purely on the standard eight-bar phrasing practice. The climax of the main thematic material from the theme section can be interpret as a thirteen-bar phrase.

This idea was an interesting start, because it caught the audience’s attention to really listen to what was going to happen next. Then the song, went into a lighter more atmospheric section, where there were many crescendos and decrescendos. The instruments in the piece included the chimes, maracas, timpani,

Pessimism ran high as I entered the Organ Recital Hall with low expectations due to my less than medium experience at the previous UCA concert I attended. On the contrary, the It Could Be Anything New Music Ensemble turned out to be a rather enjoyable experience. Directed by Dr. Wesley Ferreira and Professor Andrew Jacobson, the It Could Be Anything music ensemble featured the newer works of recent composers that embody the feeling of new music culture. The ensemble included various musicians and instruments, such as a violin, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, and various percussion instruments. The Four songs featured in this performance were “New Year’s Harmattan” (2004), Robin Cox’s “Choros No. 7” (1924), Heitor Villa’s “Lobos” (1887-1959), and ending the performance was a shortened version of “Worker’s Union” (1975).

The combination of the vocals with the instrumental accompaniment did not provide me the experience I was envision. This piece left me very uneasy and I had great difficulty listening to the piece in one sitting. The piece created sounds that are far from natural. Even though I didn 't enjoy this piece, I was fascinated by the sounds that were created. The singer, the cello, and the synthesizer created sounds that were highly animated.

In stark contrast, the B and C sections were much darker and developmental. These sections were also played forte, as compared to the A section being played at piano. The tempo varied between each section, but not by much; all sections were played at Moderato. However, Graff also used tempo rubato frequently throughout this piece, and most others as well. The melody was consistently on the treble clef, with arpeggios and chords in the bass.

The piece opens with Molto allegro tempo in a minor key (G minor) with violins and an intense yet comforting structured theme that repeats itself throughout the movement. The meter here is duple, and it remains constant throughout the movement, which is a feature of classical music. The instruments used in this movement include: strings (violins, violas, cellos) and woodwinds (flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons). The first part in the sonata form is the exposition (A), which presents the main material to be used in the movement.

In the A section, the accompaniment is in pianissimo and is meant to played etwas bewegt or somewhat with movement. Most of the harmonies in this section are diatonic and functional. The piece begins with a E major arpeggio in its first inversion, or a V6 chord. Most of the accompaniment in the A section consists of arpeggios in the right hand, with a chord in the left hand played on the first beat. This continues throughout the A section.

This piece has three movements, Allegro moderato, Adagio di molto, and Allegro ma non tanto. This piece starts off with a slow and expressive solo by the soloist, Alexi Kenney. The change in dynamics, the use of vibrato, and other techniques enhanced his solo. The orchestra then plays with a homophonic texture with some tempo changes. A few fast solos and a few slow ones followed.

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

A B C D C B A. Rhythmically this work has two distinctive features: the regular pulse of the piano and percussion and the rhythm of the human breathing in the vocal and wind parts, and the interaction between them brings about a remarkable effect of wave motion. The vibraphone player in this piece functions as a “conductor” by indicating when the players have to switch from one section to the next, or when the harmony or melody should change within a

After that, there is a peaceful and gentle viola solo performance. The music makes me image that the one who escapes in nature see some beautiful senses, which makes him stop running. The second movement is entitled “Procession of pilgrims singing the evening prayer.” In this movement, all the instrument played in a perfectly harmony. The melody of violin is elegant and smooth; at the meanwhile, the sound of cello integrates in to the music, which makes the music not too dry and light.

This movement begins with a beautiful love song until a turbulent middle sections rudely interrupts its dream-like reverie. The finale, Andante-Allegro, begins with a quiet, introspective introduction in the piano alone which then leads into an exuberant Allegro. At the Allegro, the violin breaks forth with ascending, slashing passages from its lowest to its highest register, creating a sense of drama and importance. However, then comes a playfulness that sneaks into the music almost without notice. And then after a rush of virtuosic passages from both violin and piano, the sonata comes to an explosive end.

It features two main themes, plus many melodic episodes. The structure - in A-B-A form - is clearly identifiable through the themes that mark each of the sections: the lyrical melody that opens the work, the exciting piu animato that ends with a demanding cadenza, and the final recapitulation that is followed by a cheeky and vivacious codetta that brings the work to a dramatic close. Possessing a memorable melodic theme, the piece tests the performer through the unending phrases, virtuosic c and the resultant nimble fingerwork required. It has remained one of the great standards amongst the
