The upper string studio recital, under Dr. Yu-Mei Huang’s teachings, is an annual event which showcases the violin and viola performers of Texas A&M International University. Upon approval of entering the College of Arts & Sciences of the University, this would be a student’s midterm performance for that semester. The handful of talented students from Dr. Huang are encouraged to perform a show piece, alongside with the accompaniment of Dr. Huang playing the piano, to improve their repertoire and to also gain stage experience as well. First performance, Lili Minuet in E, by Luigi Boccherini, performed by Sophie Wisner. Even though the theme of this piece very commonly played at most elegant events and showcased in many movies, it is quite hard to find on the Web. A very nice and sweet piece to play from her experience on the violin, and the audience enjoyed it quite well, being a piece that they must have heard before. Afterwards, Liebesleid, by Fritz Kreisler, performed by Jacqueline Vuong. Kreisler at his time was a great violinist with pitch perfect intonation and expressed his phrasing technique like no other. Vuong performed exceptionally well and the melody of the piece is so beautiful when vibrato is applied and notes are played right on the rhythm. The ability to play at different …show more content…

Glinka is often referred to as the Father of Russian Music, not to mention composed many operas and chamber works as well. It took him quite a while to compose this particular piece because he was more concentrated on finishing his other works as well, but he would never know that after his death, this would be one of his most famous pieces. Gallegos performed very well, the phrasing of this piece has the power to shift the audiences’ perception of the piece. It is carefully choreographed so, that the piano has to listen to know exactly when the viola comes in, to be together in

  • Goyescas: Tableaux Opera Written By Enrique Granados

    The stereotype of the relations between young women and men in the majismo movement, – their peculiar characteristic, the spirited nature, and the bohemian attitude, – is the inspiration of the composition. Goya’s works inspired Granado to write the opera and reflect the admiration to the artist’s works. The pianist visualizes Goya’s paintings with the help of the music sensuality. Comparing to the great artist, the musician depicts the milieu not mainly through the folklore or the costume drama solely. He raises the image to the mystery category making the audience create the picture of the past, present, and future.

  • Beijing And Italian Opera Comparison Essay

    650 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although the stage and costumes are seemingly more saturated with decorative props than the stark, almost empty surroundings of the Beijing Opera, there is a subdued dimness that allows the audience to put full attention to the male vocalist and his muse. The singing lines in the Beijing Opera were performed within a limited range, at a very high octave with a limited range. Similar to screeching, the notes were carried high in her throat, and produced with a certain harshness. On the contrary, the big, powerful “bel canto” operatic voice of the male singer in the Italian Opera, resonates with rich, full sounds throughout his voice range. The male performer’s voice and the message of love to the woman present with him, is obviously the main focal point of the piece.

    It features two main themes, plus many melodic episodes. The structure - in A-B-A form - is clearly identifiable through the themes that mark each of the sections: the lyrical melody that opens the work, the exciting piu animato that ends with a demanding cadenza, and the final recapitulation that is followed by a cheeky and vivacious codetta that brings the work to a dramatic close. Possessing a memorable melodic theme, the piece tests the performer through the unending phrases, virtuosic c and the resultant nimble fingerwork required. It has remained one of the great standards amongst the

    This Chaconne begins with a singing violin melody almost beguiling in its character, with a natural sense of ebb and flow that traverses numerous episodes. With the addition of double stops and chordal textures, the intensity gradually rises until it reaches the breaking point where the violin charges forward through a frenetic, virtuosic passage. The tension and register continue to rise to the point where the violin sounds as if it is screeching. The drama resolves in the brief coda as the frantic energy unwinds and the violin fades away into the

    Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 35 is a piece of music that has challenged me, but not in the way most would think. I first came across this piece of music while watching the film Le Concert, which primarily focused on an orchestra of misfits coming together to perform this piece. I fell in love with this lengthy work not only for the intricate melodic lines, great shifts in dynamics, and technical skill required, but also for the feelings the composer and violinist convey throughout the piece. I have a great admiration for those who perform it (my favorite rendition is Itzhak Perlman’s), but it has also challenged me to truly feel what I play.

  • The Musical Reflection Of The Swan Lake Suite

    There were many musical elements heard throughout these pieces and it was interesting to hear how they varied in each song and suite. In Intermezzo, it began with a quieter violin solo melody creating a monophonic texture. Soon after, it became accompanied by the other violins and cellos, then the full ensemble came in creating a moderate, flowing melody at about mezzo forte and switching to a polyphonic texture. Next, there was a harp solo at forte with many crescendos and decrescendos. The full ensemble enters again raising the dynamics to forte before decrescendoing and slowing down to end with a held note and final tone.

    First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.
