Presenting a recital for the public is a daunting task. It exacts from the performer a number of skills which must come together at the exact hour of the performance. I like to think of the solo recital as the musical equivalent to the athletic triathlon. In the case of the recital, the three areas that must come into complete alignment by the recital date are musical expression, mental focus, and physical preparedness. In this article, a systematic approach is used to address these components
Analysis of Two Kinds by Amy Tan In the story “Two Kinds”, the author, Amy Tan, intends to make reader think of the meaning behind the story. She doesn’t speak out as an analyzer to illustrate what is the real problem between her and her mother. Instead, she uses her own point of view as a narrator to state what she has experienced and what she feels in her mind all along the story. She has not judged what is right or wrong based on her opinion. Instead of giving instruction of how to solve a
The University of South Alabama hosted a faculty recital where Robert Holm played the piano very beautifully. Mr. Holm played six different types of piece which you can read about on the program stapled to the back. Each composer was from the Classical era with the exception of Johann Bach. Each piece of music had a contrast of ranges, which created beautiful masterpieces. This recital was done extraordinarily well. The first piece performed was French Suite No. 6 in E major by J.S. Bach. Mr. Holm’s
To further strengthen Iris Marion Young and Pamela Fishman’s ideas regarding the tendency of most men to interrupt women during verbal discussions, I conducted a week-long study (from December 9 to December 14, 2013) in my six other classes (namely Theology 121, Leadership and Strategies 10, Economics 102, Accounting 30, Filipino 14, and Law 22), which consist of mixed male and female pupils. Before starting the experiment, I considered a few questions that I wanted to answer: Would males recite
On my second piano recital, I invited my family and two very close family friends to attend. As the day of the recital drew closer and closer, I started getting extremely nervous and anxious to perform, even if it was simply for my family. On the day of the recital, I was stressed and fearful to play my songs. My heart pounding, I tentatively took a seat in front of the brown Baby Grand and placed my hands on the long, 88-key keyboard. The first part of the recital went by smoothly, with little
Senior recitals are a great way for exposing yourself to great composers and great musicians in our department! On Sunday, April 8th 2018 at 1:00pm, I watched Kylie Dilonardo perform her Senior Recital. This was a solo recital under Dr. Johnson’s studio, accompanied by Dr. Kazuo Murakami on piano. The rectial had repertoire from Bernhard Crusell, Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Pierné, and Witold Lutosławski. The first piece played on the program was “Concerto No. 3 in B-flat, Op. 11 Movement 1 “Allegro
I attended the Student Recital Concert on April 16th in the Theatre on the 2nd floor at SWIC. It was apparently the last recital of the year. The spotlight was focused on the stage and it was dark in the audience. The only people who were dressed nicely in the audience were performers who were not backstage yet. Everyone else wore normal, casual attire. The room was fairly large. The first act was Sonata 1 in F major. This came from the Baroque era. This was written by Benedetto Marcello. Originally
completely silent, not wanting to be seen by the people sitting in the crowd. We have a dance recital at the Kansas City Music Hall every year, but this year it is extra special. For most of us, this is our 8th dance recital. We are used to having many dances but this year we are really overwhelmed because we have seven dances to perform. Our Jazz dance called “Me Too” is the second dance in the recital so as I get into the line up with the other girls, I can feel the butterflies dancing around in
On Sunday November 29th at 5:15 pm, I attended a Great Organ Recital concert, which was held at Saint Thomas Cathedral located on fifth avenue in Manhattan. It wasn't the typical idea of what others and myself of today's generation would perceive as a concert we might go to in today's world. Most people in this era think of going to see a famous singer like the very popular Chris Brown or Selena Gomez when they hear the term "concert." However, this scenario was a bit different given the location
The recital took place on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 8pm at the Capistrano concert hall. It was a graduate jazz bass recital that was performed by Oscar Aguilar. It consisted of an ensemble of seven people performing different instruments the bass was performed by Oscar Aguilar, then there was Sean Nelson who was on the drum, Elias Lucero on the guitar, Jackson Stafford and a switch with Montana Monce on the piano, Jason Danielson on the trombone, Jack Riley on the tenor/ Alto Sax, and Tom Molina
attended a faculty recital on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 7:30 in the Squires Recital Hall at Lee University. Flutiest, Kristen Holritz and pianist, ChoEun Lee worked marvelously with one another. I chose to attend this concert because I had previously attended a senior recital and jazz ensemble and wanted to experience something I had yet had the pleasure of viewing. Ms. Holritz and Ms. Lee performed works composed by Erno Dohnanyi, Philippe Gaubert, and Franz Schubert. Faculty recitals are immensely
On Thursday, September 17th at 7:30pm, I attended Daniel G. Driskell’s Alumni Piano Recital called “Around the World in 88 Keys” at the Laidlaw Recital Hall. The concert contained seven different pieces of music. The first piece of music performed was called “Sonata in A Major.” This piece is an Italian piece that was composed by Domenico Scarlatti. The piece required Driskell to do a lot of hand crossing. The piece was upbeat, happy, and dark. Driskell explained the piece as being happy and dark
This beginning is very important for readers to remember. Through this memory, we learn about how absorbed, I felt, that Susanne seemed to be with herself. She talks of those who came to watch her in the recital, her mother and her aunts and uncles, and who she favored for. Atwood writes, “It was the uncles that counted” (122). This is later seen through the uncle’s devotion to Susanne’s mother and Susanne herself. An example is that the uncles “had clubbed
in disguise. His “name” that he called himself was Coach Genghis. He had a turban on his head to hide his one eye brow, and shoes with tall backs to hide his eye tattoo on his ankle. They tried to tell Nero, but he didn’t listen. Nero gives 6 hour recitals ever...
isn’t much in this world that can top the thrill of realizing your original compositions in a performance venue. But, to get there, you need to prepare to ensure that your music doesn’t play to an empty concert hall. Composers that put on their own recitals can increase exposure for their music, but they must also learn to wear several hats during the process. Invitations must be sent, posters must be hung, and refreshments must be provided. If you can survive the ordeal of putting on your own concert
In Eudora Welty’s novel, The Golden Apples, the author presents a combination of short stories to give the readers an insight into the intricacies of human relationships. In doing so, in “June Recital,” Welty utilizes the separation technique, once again, to give multiple perspectives depending on the different time periods and characters. Moreover, by implementing the textual structure and significance of the MacLain house from the “Shower of Gold,” the two stories, although separate, have a strong
The stage was set up with a piano in the center of stage and a PowerPoint presentations was located on the right side of the stage. The recital begins with Victor Agudelo introducing himself as a composer and pianist .He talked about where his techniques originated from and began playing his first piece “Telaranos para pescar”, also known as “Fishing with Cobwebs”. This piece starts with the dynamic of pianissimo and it crescendo often throughout the piece. It has a duple meter as well as notes
Faculty Recital on October 7 2015. It was located in Marlboro Hall Room 1076. The performers were Bobby Muncy, Shaun Jurek, Anthony Pirog, and Ian Mcolm. This Recital gave me a new understanding of jazz and the wide range of styles it possess. The instruments utilized were the bass, played by Shaun Jurek, the saxophone, played by Bobby Muncy, a drum set, played by Ian Mcolm, a guitar, played by Anthony Pirog, and briefly a piano. There were 2 pieces and 1 improvisation performed at the recital. The

Hindu Temples A Hindu Temple can be called a mandir, devalaya, or a devasthana. All of these words actually mean ‘God’s dwelling’. They can be found all over the world. For the Hindus, it is a place to worship where they can have inner peace because the mind becomes clear. Each temple dedicates itself to worship a particular god, however, other gods are also portrayed and worshiped. A shrine within the temple will contain an image or statue of the god the temple was dedicated to. Although each
