1. What was your favorite musical moment of the event (and why)? My favorite musical moment during the event was when the band explained the meaning of a few songs performed. Each song announced had a different meaning and a different reason for it being written. For example, the one song was written after the Cleveland Cavaliers won the championship game and how they felt. This was interesting to hear because if you’ve grown up in Ohio for your whole life, you understand what that game meant to everyone. To hear how a song/ why a song was created was a unique experience, especially when for once you are able to relate to it. Honestly, it made the songs more interesting, since you were able to feel the passion for that song along with them! …show more content…
Though, I knew it wouldn’t be the same as a concert, I still intended it to be similar. To my surprise, it was a completely different atmosphere. Overall, I did enjoy it, but there were a few things I disliked. I wasn’t a fan that the majority of the songs performed by Anthony Lovano’s band had no words. I didn’t like this, because that is my favorite part about the concert; getting to sing along with the band. When only two songs had words, I was confused how the band could ever interact with the audience to build their reputation. This being said, that is the second part I disliked; lack of participation with the audience. A member of the band would announce the song being played, with few explaining the meaning behind it and then they’d perform. I disliked this because I always find it more entertaining to interact with the performers. I think it’s exciting when they let you sing part of the song, while they play the music or when they just talk to you about their day in between songs. Again, I have only ever gone to a concert before, so this is all I was able to base it off …show more content…
The audience and I, sat down at tables with food and some sort of beverage, chatting with our friends and family during the performance. When every song was over, we clapped and after a few songs there was a little bit of cheering! Since, I have only been to a concert I will compare it to this. At a concert, I would rate the audience’s interaction with the performance as very involved. I feel this way because the audience tends to cheer before and after every song and sing along to every song played. The main focus of a concert is the concert, whereas here at the Portage Crossing Market District, the performance felt like background music and the main focus was hanging out with your family and
People have dreams of what they want to do or accomplish in life, but usually musical theatre is just pushed into the non-realistic void. It isn’t a dream for me. In the past four years, musical theatre has been clarified as my reality. Musical theatre has been the only thing I have seen myself wanting to do. My first love was The Phantom of the Opera, seeing how I watched it almost every day and it was one of the first shows I saw. Of course, I started doing all of those cute shows in middle school and making a huge deal about it to my family and friends, but I have never felt so passionate about something. The minute I get up on that stage I throw away Riley for two and a half hours and it’s the most amazing feeling! Being able to tell a story
...ofessionals they didn’t just play music but they took pride in whatever instrument they played which really made it more enjoyable. I took notice in how the band communicated with each other either by hand signal or eye signal and they all paid close attention to Eric’s every move. It is so important to watch whoever is leading; good communication will cut down a lot of unnecessary mistakes. I really enjoyed the songs the texture of the songs was composed very well, even though the songs were written in a 60s and 70s style I could relate to them. My favorite is “Layla” I sometimes sing it all throughout the day, I love the texture and I love the rhythm. Overall the concert was awesome, I would definitely attend Eric Clapton’s concert if he’d come into my town. The concert was well worth listening to and I would definitely invite a friend to join along with me.
...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.
My favorite song was Eliyahu Havavi because it had a variety of tempos and dynamics, and it was very mystical. My favorite musical component of that piece was when they sang the “ya”’s because the way that they sang the “ya”’s sounded really good. My least favorite song was Kyrie because the words of that piece couldn’t be made out, there were very little dynamical components, and the piece itself sung didn’t sound good overall. All in all, the concert was a success in my opinion and they sang the piece without messing up. It was a decent concert in
The concert that I attended last Friday was an interesting one where I got to have some new experiences and learn about classical music.
It had a more artist approach to it. It was also fun to see that they used some of the same visuals as us in their show. I feel like they lost some visual effect by the fact that they did not wear their jackets and shakos because it very warm that night. Their arms look a little funny out to the sides without the jacket. The performers did engage me however I got distract by other audience members a few different times during the performance. During the performance people were talking really loud and a few people kept getting up and walking in front of me during the performance. Which I found very disrespectful. So this gave me an insight of how people probably act during our halftime shows because it hard to tell from the field. Overall I really enjoyed the show and was glad that I got to go see
The atmosphere was extremely calm. Many people simply ordered their drinks and floated right in front of the stage without running or pushing. It was satisfying. The venue was filled with down-to-earth civilians who were just looking for great music and cheap drinks on a cold
I enjoyed this concert. It was my first real experience with jazz music. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect, but I left satisfied that I attended. However, there was one thing I did not enjoy. The narrator between songs was not very effective and actually took away somewhat from the concert. He failed numerous times at trying to be humorous and rambled on. My favorite piece was 88 Basie Street. It gave me that easy and relaxed feeling. This piece started softer, and then seemed to pick up with more energy. With my lack of knowledge of Jazz music, I certainly enjoyed this piece the best. I learned how exciting and fun listening to jazz being played live can actually be. I found it very interesting. Like I said earlier, the only thing I would change to make the concert more effective would be to have the narrator speak less.
Which I heard not many pianists can do. One thing I notice is they change the direction of the piano, so they can face each. They also close the soundboard to help contain the sound. The pianist did a great job playing without overwhelming the guitar. We could hear the pianist, as well as the guitar equally. Although they did a great job, but I did not find any of the songs that grab my attention. Well not enough for me to write about it in my report. My favorite performance of the night was the trio, which goes by the name of serenade. The trio included a piano, a violin, and a flute. The flute player was favorite. I’m not sure if I’m being bias, because the flute it’s my favorite instrument. It probably because the way she elaborates each note effortlessly. The third song they played was upbeat and fun. Something you would hear at a dance party back then. It started with a moderate loud than got soft as the violent had her solo, follow by the flute and the piano maintaining the same tone. Eventually crescendo when they started playing the hook. Overall the concert was great, it
I recently interviewed the parents of Ashlin Taylor, a student in the performance. They were watching in the audience with me and have also gone to every concert since 6th grade. The mother, Catherine Taylor, said that she was more than impressed with the performance. She was
In conclusion, the concert was really interesting and I enjoyed myself. In my opinion the two pieces that I really like in this concert, are Sounden Horn and Polonaise from Engine Onegin, the shift between the melodic lines and the element of beauty is what made me like it. In the future I would recommend it to my friends and I will not mind to go with them at all. This kind of music is the best to me by far.
The concert opened with The Incredibles. With a homophonic texture, it kept you on your toes. I loved listening to a familiar song. I couldn’t help but dance a little in my chair. The trumpets were very prominent in this song.
...le that were there just for Aaron Carter himself and also for the music itself. Everyone in the audience felt the same about the overall experience of the concert. When Carter sang “How I Beat Shaq” the whole audience seemed to go crazy when he started singing this song. The performance was very entertaining and just an overall good time. There probably would’ve been more people depending on the location of the concert. My only complaint would be the small number of people that were there. He connected in many ways with the audience simply because it was older and newer music mixed together. I was also extremely impressed because the concert ended up being more than what I had originally planned. As a matter of fact, it was better than what a concert when he was younger would ever be. Overall it was an extremely good present for my girlfriend and I had a great time!
I had never really been to a big concert that had a well-known band. A couple of weeks before the concert I got some information about it, but really didn't think much of it. I talked with some friends about the band and we all casually decided to go get tickets for it. Little did I know what an absolutely spectacular time I would have.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
