Concert Report

 

            May 3, 2003 Music Journal .
             I couldn't have been roused any more to amazement by our own Hunter symphony college choir. Their incredible physical music flow, extraordinary quality and quantity of songs, intensive energy, picture-perfect orchestral atmosphere, and committed artistic style of individuality and conformity as a whole stroke me in the brain of musical pleasure zone and took my breath away. Yes, it was that good. As a newcomer of classical music, I regret I haven't been to more large and organized musical orchestra before. I couldn't help but fell in love the solemn live orchestral music.
             It was Saturday 7:00 pm, May 3rd, I sat in the front row of the balcony wondering about the waste of this Saturday night for a mandatory report. But briefly after beginning of their first program music, my wonders and suspicions flew off to the sky. My mind was occupied by the music instantly. .
             All people around me were quiet and respectful; therefore I could enjoy the music without any vocal or visual distraction. As second orchestra sat and toned in and ready to play Bach's piece "Actus tragicus: Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit-, I couldn't be more excited, just like I was waiting to see a blockbuster movie in theater. .
             But this live orchestra shouldn't compare with any movie I have watched; it was far better accomplished, realistic, spirit lifting and artistic entertaining than any recent movies. I came in with free admission as Hunter College Student, but it was even worth to pay $9.50 to watch this. .
             With every pulls of bow at violin, strokes on the timpani, blows in trombone and singing in chorus, I am affected by their dedicated professionalism, overwhelming musical energy, and orchestral togetherness. Finally, Mozart's Requiem brought us to the climax. His unfinished Requiem is very mysterious and valuable piece, which he wrote before his death.
