Colorado Symphony: Live Concert Report

Improved Essays
The live concert entitled “La Bohème” that Colorado Symphony performed this last Saturday was amazing. This funny classical composition music was made by several musicians, and each of them has a different perspective and interpretation of a piece of music, especially the conductor Andrew Litton. Several instruments such as violin, viola, cello, double bass, brass, woodwind, trumpets , trombones, bass trombone; timpani, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, xylophone; harp characterized the scene. The audience enjoyed the vibrating elements that produced the sound in string instruments such as the guitar, harp, piano etc. Obviously, there were genius melodic and harmonic creativity; the masterpiece thus that the beautiful performance in …show more content…
The show was a humorous celebration of the symphony orchestra which was taking a satirical scene such that the humor that showed the weaknesses or bad qualities for some characters. The Second City was lovable when looking at the players, the repertoire, the composers, the personalities, and even the audience. However, La Bohème was also amazing, and the audience was almost the same as the first one. I tried to discuss with some of them about the issue and they told me that they pay upward of $80 for the right to dress up and sit in a chair for hours reading every word in the program. After leaving the concert hall, it is noticeable that old people immediately begin telling each other what they know about how much they loved the performance and how they plan to go more often. This conversation showed me enough about how old people love too much classical music. In conclusion, after finding out how rent was considered in the classical music scene, I’m about to care this because rent is the one favorite thinks we cannot forget in American

    This week I chose to view a dance film called “Honey” and within this film I experienced an entire collection of musical compositions. Varying from hip-hop to jazz to even ballet. The vast majority of the musical compositions were positioned in such a way that it became a requirement for the story line in order for it to be achieved accurately. However, the vast minorities of the musical compositions were needed to accentuate the mood and setting that the story line was originated for. As you can observe, each musical composition had a vital role to play in this film and was integrated and executed quite perfectly.…

    Musicking The Now Analysis

    On the surface, one might not think that the great Italian opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and the acclaimed indie group Dinosaur Jr. have much in common. One concert, for instance, took place in an intimate performing arts center to an attentive and quietly reverent audience while the other in a loud, rough-and-tumble rock venue to a lively and informal audience. Indeed, there may appear to be no similarities between the effortlessly skilled classical stylings of the UNT College of Music and the deliberately ramshackle indie sound of Dinosaur Jr. However, with these two concerts, we see Christopher Small’s concept of “musicking” in full effect and, critically, two different forms of the same musical elitism.…

    Throughout the duration of the spectacle, the serene melodies were contrasted by exclamations of awe and gasps from audience members. Even after the installation had concluded, viewers were praising the work, claiming it was “much more interesting” than originally presumed. I witnessed whispers of admiration and comments questioning the origin of this idea, and how it was “possible to design something so cool”. Despite these external commentaries, the details of the soundtrack were evident- I could easily detect whistling winds and lapping waves layered within the score, which added to the feeling of oneness with the…

    As I walked into the Brechemin Auditorium I was immediately mesmerized by the stage. I took my seat and instantly took notice of the crimson curtain and the Grand black piano shining in the spotlight. The auditorium was much smaller than I had expected, but it created an intimacy between the musicians and audience that was necessary for the performances. During Introduction and Variations on ‘Trockne Blumen,’ D.802, I could hear the pages of sheet music turn and the breaths that the flute player would take during her performance. I was completely in awe of how beautiful the flute looked, glistening in its gold color under the spotlight as the flutist would slightly bob around when playing.…

    In the string section all the musician’s bows glide up and down, but no one is ever out of place. The brass and woodwinds produced clear intonation. The percussionists have to subtly double check the sound of their instruments before playing. Under the conductor, the entire orchestra operated very smoothly and produced beautiful music. Which is the exact kind of accompaniment an orchestra should provide a visiting soloist.…

    RENT is a rock-opera musical written in the 1990s by Jonathan Larson. The show highlights young adults living with disease, poverty, and drug-use during the turn of the century in New York City.

Many consider the musical to be a modernized version of Puccini’s La bohème, an opera written in the 1800s about struggling young bohemians. In La bohème, one of the characters ultimately dies from tuberculosis, while in RENT many of the characters deal with the implications of HIV/AIDS.…
