Concert report

On May 2, 2013, the Jazz concert at YOSHI’s OAKLAND, my friend and me had their first concert of this semester, the jazz band called The Bad Plus is from United States, and there are special guest drummer Dave King, pianist Ethan Iverson and bassist Reid Anderson. The concert started at 10:00 pm and ended at 11:30 pm. The jazz concert performed five songs during the concert and there were three songs are the most unforgettable for me “People Like You”, “Never Stop” and “2 P.M.” Jazz music, like all music, tells a story and here are the stories “People Like You”, “Never Stop” and “2 P.M.” “People Like You”, written by Reid Anderson .i think it an song for someone they loved. The song was very pretty, and it has a different genre than other songs in the concert. It is honestly hard for me to recommend this song to anyone, for I thought it was dull and lacked the depth of the other songs throughout the evening. It can clean people mind. At the beginning of this song, a piano and bass began to alternate the melody in this song as though they were like two lovers dancing in the wonderland. The rhythm, which was continuously steady, seemed to get faster like a heartbeat by the climax of the song. The bass would pick up strong at the same time and then die down again. There was such an edgy sound to this performance. And really can take people in the song’s wonderland. “Never stop”, was written by Reid Anderson. It was a beautiful song. I am not sure what I enjoyed more, the fact that the drummer and piano played with such passion and made the song his own life force or that this song reminded me of my childhood. This song reminded me of something interesting in my life. The song was fun and although the song had a lot of repetition, I loved listening to the changes over and over again. The song start and end in an infinite tempo in people’s brain. After this song, the brilliant beat still going around in my mind. Some time I will sing the beat when I am taking a shower. And the last song which gave me a deep impression is called “2 P.M. written by Ethan Iverson it is an upbeat song, the most love by me. In the instrumental version of this song, the piano and drum consonance set the exciting mood at the beginning of this song. A piano and drum alternated in the middle of the song. As the passion of the song heated up, the texture changed within the song as the drummer’s performance took the melody and the piano and bass within the ensemble were in accompaniment. The rhythm, which was continuously surprise me because the beat is really fast at the begin, and after the drummer‘s solo, the song was going with a crescendo from very soft to the end. I think It was also at this point this song was increasingly getting louder in the world. The Jazz concert was an enjoyable evening full of great music and intellectually stimulating experiences of music that I would not have listened to if not for this class. Diversification is an important lesson to learn when viewing music because all music has a differ story from the differ song .i will look for other differ concert in my summer break. Because this concert is truly shock my deep music heart.

...On Wednesday, April 4, I drove to Austin to go see University of Austin’s Butler School of Music Symphonic Band.

I had heard none of these songs before attending the concert so my reaction is solely based on my first-time experience of the pieces.   The Surroundings The room this concert was held in was Bates Recital Hall.

Sjsu Music Concert Report

...I went to the SJSU Music Concert Hall on November 11,2015, and it costs 5 dollars for the ticket. When I arrived there, I saw that most of the audiences are SJSU students, and a few of them are professors. The audiences dressed casually, and I dressed casually as well because I think that I was a casual listener at the concert. When I was listening to different pieces, I felt amazing because I never heard this kind of music before. I enjoyed the slow tempo because it gives me the feeling of relax. The pieces that were performed are “ If You Walked A Mile”, “The Five”, “Variations for Abbey”, “Ion Trails”, “ A Different Drummer”, and “All Our Broken Instruments”. The musical style for “If you Walked A Mile” is classical and electric, for “The Five” is orchestra, and the rest of the pieces are classic and electric. There were drums, computer, marimba, gong, triangle, and timpani as instrumentation of the ensemble. There was no seating arrangement and there is only one performer....

...Sina Valizadeh Concert Report 2 03/19/14 Classical Music Concert Report The concert took place in Balboa Park at Spreckels Organ. I was there for about an hour and they played 7 songs. #1: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata from Symphony No.5, Opus 42 from Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) From the start of the song tempo was presto. It has a 1,2 rhythm and it is very simple overall until it goes toward the end of a song and you hear more different melodies. it had an amazing finishing. during the middle of the song you could've hear the middle parts with louder and harder melodies. #2: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata in D Minor, S. 565 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) This piece almost took 10 minutes and by far i can say is one of the best classical songs I've ever heard. it seems like a happy song. a lot of high pitch sounds and melodies were used in this song. tempo was combination of presto and moderato and it seems like its a dramatic song. #3: Sam Rudenberg: Prelude in G minor, BWV 556 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Very relaxing song, decent speed and largo tempo. i can say it is esspresione and it gets loud at the end of a song. #4: Sam Rudenberg: Finale from Janet Correll (b. 1942) Its a romantic era, it has a story line and a song like melody, usually it narrates a story about some one or a specific event that happened in the history. kind of slow tempo and a 1.2 rhythm. i heard a little bit of syncopation as well. #5: Jared Jacobsen: oh Danny boy...

Kettle Moraine Music Concert Report

...On February 22 the Kettle Moraine School for Arts and Performance [KM Perform] will be presenting their own rendition of Little Shop of Horrors. Pulling off a cult classic like this seems to be a challenge at first glance. However so, Perform students are quickly rising to the occasion. Preparing for a musical is a tiresome, work-intensive process, much more than a mere snap of the fingers. Everyone working on this musical has only six to eight weeks to prepare. For the cast, there’s a lot to do, from music to choreography, and dialogue to monologues. “I think one of the challenges is the music because it is up tempo and fast paced and very wordy, like it’s all tongue twisters.” said Joy Bartoli, the voice of Audrey II. “The hardest part is the puppet because we won’t have a lot of time to work with it and we won’t even get it till much later. First of all learning how to use it, then timing with the songs and dialogue, that’d be a lot for the people working the puppet...

Pop Culture Report: Rock Music And Culture

...Rock Music and Culture Report Music was always a big part of my life growing up. It is embedded in all my memories starting with the classical music my father listened to while he read. As a child Elvis Presley, Chubby Checker and The Twist was all the rage and 45rpm’s were the records I first collected. I remember when albums cost $2.99 and 45’s were 59 cents. A uniquely culturally popular hang-out my sister’s and I spent all our free time was the hardwood floor roller skating rink where music, dance and skating was combined. Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs "Wooly Bully" is an example of the songs popular at the skate rink. I was 8 in 1964 when The Beatles and The British Invasion hit the shores of the US.

Fundamental of Business Writing

...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...
