Concert Report

            Jocelyn Sanders, Horn and Natural Horn.
            
             The first selection was Nocturno for Horn in F, Op.7 written by Franz Strauss (1822-1905). Franz Strauss was the father of Richard Strauss who wrote two famous works for the horn. Franz represents the Early Romantic period. This piece had a very good use of the range that the horn has available. It was very consonant in the way it sounded. It had a very soft texture to it and was very flowing rhythm. I enjoyed this piece it had a great blend between polyphony and homophony. .
             The second selection was by Franz Danzi (1763-1826). It was called Sonata in E-flat for Horn and Piano, Op. 28. Franz Danzi is part of the Romantic period where he became a great cellist. This selection started out slow and progressively became faster. The piano played a lot faster in this piece than the horn. I liked this selection also it was enjoyable to listen to and made me feel kind of sleepy.
             .
             The third selection was Romance, Op.36 by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921). This composer wrote three works for the horn between 1874 and 1887 she was in the Romantic period. This piece was different than the rest; it used dissonance in both the horn and the piano. I felt it wasn't a flowing as the rest it was just strange especially the sounds the horn made. I didn't like this one it was too strange for me.
             The next selection was Romance for Horn and Piano by Alexander Scribine (1872-1915). He was also from the Romantic period. This piece displays his use of lyricism, varying tone color, and rhythms. This piece was very enjoyable it was fun to listen to. It used the horn and piano together very originally that's what I most liked about it. .
             The fifth selection we listened to was Chant Corse pour cor en fa et Piano Danse Profane by Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) he was in the Impressionist Period. This piece was enjoyable because it moved me with his use of the solo with both the horn and piano.

On Thursday, January 21, 2010, I attended a concert that was held at Xavier University's Music Building in their recital hall.

His next song "Granada" was more of an andante tempo. You can hear where phrases began and end and dynamics were sung from piano to ...

7. Concert Report 1 - "Classical"

For most of my life I've always wanted to see an orchestral performance in person, but the prices for most of the classical concerts I've heard about were usually out of my budget range. Thankfully, my peers here at the university offer a number of these concerts free of charge, and thus, I am very glad that I finally had the chance to attend such a concert. When I first entered Boss recital room, I was in awe of the design and architecture of the room. With what looked like an organ embedded into the back wall and all the small intricate designs incorporated into the walls; the room was breat...

8. Roots concert report

Roots Concert Review Last month I attended a live performance by the Roots. The show took place at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California. Once inside the venue I was surprised to see how small the club actually was. I have seen The Roots three times prior to the 15th at venues where it was impossible to be within fifty feet of the stage. All you had to be was inside the House of Blues and you were within fifty feet. A peaceful crowd of claustrophobically close Roots fans gathered to watch the most original, pure form of hip-hop music today performed live. No group combines a rapper with a ...

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.
