Concert Report Essay -- Music

For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this unrivaled because I wanted to call for some of the talent that my peers arrive in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I lead been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was stately to hear art objects composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as interlinking as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a en astronomicd attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with ternion friends, who I convinced by declareing it would be interesting to see student composers.The first set up was called Oblique/musique composed by Patrick Swanson. This piece instantly stood emerge among the other(a)s because of the instruments involved. The piece was performed by ii people one play a vibraphone and the other playing a large drum/cymbal/gong. However, the piece also contained prerecorded sounds of static, bass, and an incoherent voice. In this piece the melody was repeated many times. It was similar to the works of John Adams because of its repetitions, ambit recording, and minimalistic sounds.The second piece was a piano composition by Thalia Ventimilla called Ecuadorian Afternoon. This piece had a rattling relaxing melody and a paseo speed tempo. It was not fast and not slow. The intensity of the piece started out high and gradually declined, then built up to decline again. This went on in a series of decrescendos, rising and falling with lots of chords organism vie.The third piece was a duet for the flute and the oboe by Julia Grace Brown. The piece contained two foreparts, entirely I could not tell when one stopped and the second began because there was no pause. While they compete the flute was quicker, playing in short, fas t, high pitched notes. On the other hand, the oboe was steadier and carried the notes slightly longer, and it lead the flute done the song. Sometimes the two instruments played simultaneously, and sometimes the flute would mimic the oboe and follow it through the movement. Overall, the piece started out fast and eventually slowed with the two instruments ending together, but the flute always played in a higher rate with a more piercing ... ..., intensity, and length. The entire movement had a jot of rising to a maximum point which could not be surpassed. In the third movement the flute and the piano played together and played nearly the same thing, with the exception of the flutes higher notes. This to had an increasing in intensity and tempo.Now for the sake of time, and because this report is already too long, I volition skip to the last piece. Also, the seventh piece was so long that I could keep discussing it.The final and twelfth piece was made up of excerpts from a longer work called Five Short Pieces for Clarinet and Bassoon. To me, maybe because the concert was ascendent to get long or maybe because I did not give birth many notes over it, the last piece seems fairly similar passim its movements, or Short Pieces. The first was an up-beat piece with a distinct melody. The clarinet and bassoon alternated, with the clarinet playing the higher notes. The second movement had a have complete recover to it. The two instruments played at the same time, close to it. The third movement was an impressive sounding mix of ups and downs. It seemed that the performers were working very hard and it sounded very complex.
