Music Concert Report Sample

On December 2nd, 2015 I went to see MTSU’s Jazz Ensemble I and II perform in the Wright Music Building on MTSU’s campus. The concert was held in room 107 which is the rehearsal hall. There not many people there, only ten to fifteen people at most at any given time. Everything was very informal and only students attended the concert. The students that were performing were dressed nicely, but casually. The concert started a few minutes early and the Jazz Ensemble II performed first, which I found strange. I did not recognize any of the songs performed but I did enjoy the concert. Apparently, the two ensembles were two different jazz classes and the Jazz Ensemble II focused on improvisation. The Jazz Ensemble I had graduate student composers and …show more content…

All the concert information was written on the board in the back, and I could not see it very well. For this ensemble I picked this piece as my favorite because I just did not like either of the other pieces. For the Jazz Ensemble I my favorite piece was the last one to be performed.
Ensemble I my favorite piece was the last one performed. Unfortunately, I do not have the name for this piece as I could not see the board. I liked this piece because the main solo and melody was played on an upright bass. I love the deep sound of this instrument and this piece was also uplifting and cheerful. All the pieces performed were performed well and there was nothing really to dislike about the concert all things considered. My least favorite piece from the whole concert was the last one performed by the Jazz Ensemble I. Most of the piece was improved solos and I just did not like most of them. The piece is titled “Shuffle Time” and it was quite long. I felt that many of the solos did not fit in with the music being played in the background. Everything seemed to be disorganized and I understand that the performers are learning, but a lot of the solos sounded choppy. Some of the music did not sound nice and I have never liked music that was improvised and I knew

    The concert was held in an exceedingly luxurious environment which put everyone in the audience in a jubilant mood. The audience would tap their feet along to the catchy rhythm, then would cheer with an electrifying applause after each piece was performed. The band continued to draw the crowd’s attention by having every musician on the stage play their own solo in each song. When Byron Stripling and the Jazz St. Louis Big Band performed the last piece in their set of the night they ended it with every musician on stage shouting “Clark Terry” to end the exquisite

    Subjective Reaction: This piece was unique from the others in that it was comical and playful. It was refreshing break from the slow Gregorian chants and darker themed music. In fact, it had much of the audience laughing. This piece got its liveliness and personality from the choirs dancing and use of props.

    Yet, what mattered to the individuals were the respective talents of the musicians involved ”(). It was not a normal thing for both races to participate in a recording session, especially when it came to recording in a racist state. But this didn’t stop musicians from continuing. Quickly the combined race jazz grew in popularity which led to more white musicians wanting to be more involved. The acceptance of both white and black musicians working together became apparent.

    Once we came in and took a seat, the concert began promptly after. The concert was held in Brendle Recital Hall, and the audience sat in rows while the artists performed on the stage. Most of the audience was very respectful and chose to stay off their phones the whole concert, making it very easy to enjoy the music. Once each band began playing, it immediately captured my attention to where I didn’t

    Today I went to see the Buffalo State Jazz Ensemble at Rockwell Hall. I chose this ensemble because growing up I enjoyed listening to jazz music. My preconceived notion about the ensemble was there would be singing and instruments playing. Jazz is a genre of music that originated in New Orleans, and since it was a port city it was the melting pot of different cultures.

    The stage was set up with five saxophones, two altos, two tenors, and one baritone, stage front left with four trombones directly behind them, and three trumpets at the back, the electric guitar was in center stage with drums and bass located behind, the piano was stage right with Professor Scott Wilson, the guest artist, in front of the piano. The songs the Big Band played were fantastically preformed balanced with no parts sounding to loud or soft, the trumpets were the major surprise there, but the highlight was Professor Scott Wilson E.V.I., or Electronic Valve Instrument. The E.V.I. sounded like a trumpet and an electric piano in one instrument, the notes were controlled by three buttons imitating valves on brass instrument and a knob at the bottom to control the pitch of the note, a unique instrument for Jazz. Over all, the Evening of Jazz was good example of Blues and Jazz music genre, from the clothes to the style of songs chosen, without the clothes the Blues would not have felt Blues.

    Because it was a musical, the sound effects had to be perfect in order for a good preformance, and that it was. The preformers used approbnbpiate microphones for the various scenes; vintage microphones for the 1940s and 1950s songs and scenes from that time period theater preformances for example. The sound was not as crisp during these scenses, bringing the viewer into the world and time period of the song. Like from the video, this was very subtle and I would not have noticed had the lady next to me not pointed it out. The next element were the light schemes.

    I attended to a concert performed by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on November 13th this year. This concert took place in the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. I chose to attend to this concert because I have never been to a performance by any youth orchestra, I was curious to see how their performance would compare to other orchestras. The first of the three piece that were performed in this concert was Maenads’ Dance, from The Bassarids, composed by Hans Werner Henze. A variety of instruments were used in this piece, including woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.

    I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school
