The Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra School of Music at the University of Miami called "Frost" located in Coral Gables offered last Saturday, September 27, a concert with talented youth and with already experience in music, directed by Terence Blanchard and Scott Flavin, and as director John Daversa. On that evening the talented young exposed certain styles and rhythms with instruments such as saxophone, trumpet, piano, bass, violin, cello, viola, drums and vocals, creating a genre of classic and jazz music. As we have previously studied jazz is a musical genre born among black musicians descendants of former slaves who joined their own tradition some elements of European music as harmony, form, instruments, etc. Characterized by a strong …show more content…
It was not written by Benny Moré as it appears in the program. Benny Moré immortalized this song, but he did not compose it. He recorded this song with Duarte´s band. This is one of the most beautiful and popular boleros of all times. This bolero was magnificently performed. The wonderful and magic sound of the strings made me feel happy and sad at the same time. I got surprised because I could not imagine I was going to listen to a Cuban bolero in this concert. I have never heard this song again since I left Cuba more than four years ago, and I remember it was my late grandmother´s favorite song. I can say that it touched me very deeply. The second piece I liked the most was Four for tango composed by Piazzolla. It is a very difficult piece as Piazzolla incorporated elements of jazz and classical music to traditional tango and created what is known as new tango. Although I do not like tango very much, I recognize their interpretation was brilliant. They are formidable. It is an explosive music played with great passion and amazing talent. It was a great experience for me to know this new kind of tango much more
I thoroughly enjoyed this concert from beginning to end. The opening piece, “String Quartet in F Major, K 590”, was both soothing and moving with an engaging theme that followed through the piece. The sudden stops and starts with changes in theme built the suspense and pulled the listener in to a jaunty gallop through the second section. Also the bass tones in the back ground seem to be slightly off kilter with the violins, providing a complex texture and harmony that provides depth and poignancy to the music.
The mood of the whole concert was very positive, emotional, and inspiring. In many of his pieces I could feel the emotions proclaimed in them. The whole atmosphere of this concert was very relaxing and peaceful. I could really tell throughout Pablo’s performance that he is very passionate about playing the cello. I also liked how Pablo would explain after each of the pieces the meaning behind them. I was very inspired by this whole entire concert and I really enjoyed hearing the cello being played
Music is magical: it soothes you when you are upset and cheers you up when you are down. To me, it is a communication with souls. I listen to different genres of music. When appreciating each form of music, with its unique rhythm and melody, I expect to differentiate each other by the feelings and emotions that it brings to me. However, I would definitely never call myself “a fan of jazz” until I witnessed Cécile McLorin Salvant’s performance last Friday at Mondavi Center. Through the interpretations and illustrations from Cécile’s performance, I realized that the cultural significance and individual identity are the building blocks of jazz music that create its unique musical features and support its development.
Finally, the concerto in F is very beautiful melody. In this music we feel liked comfortable. In this music we does not liked is the light is very bright and the chair is feeling
In conclusion, it was a very unique experience for me to attend this concert. It was my first time listening to music in a church. The music was wonderful and played brilliantly. I now realize how talented some of the women composers were throughout the history of music. The experience of listening to such wonderful music firsthand was an honor. I hope to attend one in the near future.
A typical corrido is defined as a lyrical narrative that consists of eight quatrains with four to six lines. However, the significance does not lie within its musical structure; rather it is shown through its lyrics. The corrido depicts historical events; not through informing its listeners, but strives to use interpretation as a bridge of communication. The lyrics express topics from love and immigration to drug trafficking and malicious events. The Mexican community is able to emotionally connect with the lyrics materializing a sense of identity and pride - preserving historical and malicious events and cultures that have sentiment value.
It is full of romance, chaos, and excitement, all at the same time. This piece also takes lots of skill to play because it is so unique. The piece also has broad appeal. It is different from most classical compositions, which makes it something that stands out to the audience, and makes it something that they will listen to. Another thing that this work is filled with is emotion, variety, and imagination.
...xcited to have this experience. Part of the drama of the concert at first is felt when the musicians come in and sit down and begin tuning up their instruments. I would not be able to comment on the performance of the orchestra. During the performance, I seen the audience were moving with the music, but I felt like that everyone seems knows more music than what I learned throughout this semester. After I went home and did some of the research on these music I finally understand why these people like to attend the orchestra concerto, it was because that every piece of music has a history behind it. The Los Angeles audience seemed to me to be people who know music and who will listen to something new in a respectful way. All the same, when the more familiar sounds of the last piece were heard, I could feel a little sense of relaxation and fun coming into the room.
It is also the piece that had enough of an effect to make the evil man go away, in the film, Fantasia. My strongest reaction to this piece, is the warm and chilled feeling I get hearing it. The idea of developing “chilled” bones from music is amazing. I arrived at this certain place, by truly diving into the song. I really listened to it, and could hear the seriousness in the singer’s voice. I could hear and understand the passion that the musicians felt when they pressed the piano’s keyboards. The singing, along with the instruments complimenting, is astonishing. I caught myself listening to this piece during the interview, and I could imagine even an evil monster falling in love with this tune enough to turn good. I felt the drama and power in the singing, and the seriousness in the playing of the
Jazz music prospered in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Jazz was created by African Americans to represent pain and suffering and also represented the adversity that racial tension brought. (Scholastic) African American performers like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie “Bird” Parker came to be recognized for their ability to overcome “race relati...
The second piece, Paratum Cor Meum, was a much shorter piece with very few lyrics. It was interesting to hear a piece by Haydn, since we had discussed this composer in class. I was impressed by the choir members’ ability to remember words in another language, and I enjoyed the sounds of the piano accompaniment.
...re was very interesting transitions between the variation, for example, string section plays the variation from low to high, when they reach the highest note, the brass family takes over and continue with the scale and make it more higher. Tremolo style was used in this piece, which is a quick ups and downs stroke mode. The music were very soothing and attracted the audience. Lastly, they end the piece with the same variations that was played at the beginning.

The first song the piano trio performed was the Haydn C Major Trio. This piece is from the Classical period of music. The Baroque period is known for many of the smaller setting pieces that were written in that time period, so piano trios were quite popular at this time. The piece consisted of three movements in fast, slow, fast order. The piano and violin were featured in this movement and you could tell that their parts were pretty difficult. The first part of this piece was in sonata form, the second was in ABA ternary form, and the third was another part in sonata form. The piece changed tempo throughout it which really felt like it kept people involved. You could also hear the repeat of the intro and certain themes throughout the piece. This piece was very enjoyable. It was probably my favorite piece played in this concert. The changing if tempos really made you pay more attention and it wasn't slow or boring. The sonata forms allowed the musicians to perform more difficult parts from the pieces and it was very entertaining to observe. This piece also ...
Since I heard it for the first time, the tango has become one of my favorites musical genres to play. Its sound captivated me from the beginning and that is why my favorite piece of music it is “Adios Nonino” by Astor Piazzolla. Especially the recording of 1983 in Lugano. This piece was composed by the on the Fall of 1959. It is during a tour of Central America when Piazzolla received the news of the death of his father, who was nicknamed “Nonino”.
