Choir Concert Review
Music has been a part of my life since as far back as I can remember, it is something that I truly enjoye and find to be very therapeatic. I have always had a love for music , going back to the days of elemantary school when I had been in music class , I always knew that music would be womething that was in my blood. Actually I am from Mongolia which is so different country compare to America . I always wanted to join singing club or choir. But i have not gotten a chance to join such a thing because of my religion. Basically , It was my first time , I had opportunity to show Choral Concert which was held on the October 9 , on the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Everyone who was in attendance was dress up so nice and they were singing from heart. I enjoyed listening to the our friends as they sung the different melodies. As i was sitting there listening to the singers sing , i think about how strong there voices are and how strong they must be to get over the big space of the performance center.
The choir performed a variety of songs, new spins on classic hymns and spirituals, modern treatment of old texts and a taste of pop and jazz. Songkar and Schola Contorum provided piona accompaniment for some of the songs and performed beautifully. I was extremely impressed by the talented choir members from Waldorf College and their ability to sing such a varied range of songs. The music I really enjoyed was piece by Lord of Dance and Voice Dance were a much happier song and those songs had a faster tempo than the other songs and was a great way to conclude the concert. The concert demonstrated the vocal capabilities of the Choir members. The songers were able to express different emotions through the traditional spiritual song such as " Elijah Rock " and the more torch song such as " Beautiful Savor" . The solos allowed particular students to display thier talents and the piona accompaniment provided a pleasent

    Despite the fact that I, Maggie McCormick, am not the most talented musician out of my fellow sopranos, I believe that I should be permitted to attend the choral festival because it would help me to grow as a musician, it would be a great opportunity for me to develop greater bonds with my fellow attendees, and it would be a fantastic learning experience to hear the way each choir from the southeast sounds.…

    As the voices of this amazingly blended SAB choir rang out a melody of beauty and sweet serenity. The work they had all put in was defiantly present. I was impressed at the pureness and the strength of the choir. They started with an old syncopated composition called “American folk Rhapsody”. The secular piece had an upbeat rhythm and was voiced with SAB parts accompanied by a piano. Written in the key of F the composition was sung and played in a major mode. On this piece the choir blended very nicely except for a few spots here and there. Overall the ensemble seemed to really enjoy singing this music.…

    In college, I began studying music education, but have debating on switching so I can become a music producer since the performing aspect won’t work out. In any case, going to any kind of concert or any other musical performance always makes me happy, makes me learn something new and it inspires me. Maybe one day my stage fright will go away or maybe not. Either way, I’ll always have music to help me get through difficult times. Especially at work, when customers decide to make your day unbelievably impossible and you try to stay calm…

    Overall, I enjoyed my attendance at the concert choir held at Benedictine University. The show was well done and I could tell that the members of the choir worked very hard in preparation. Although there were eight songs, the concert went by fairly quick. There was only one baby grand piano in the middle of the stage, but other than that, it was interesting to see that no other instruments were used except for their own voices and they were able to project an excellent performance for the…

    Then the second part of the concert is Cantabile Choristers Choir. There are fewer members perform on the stage, just some kids sing on the stage, and the rest sit on the floor. They have performed in a perfect way as well. All the audiences are really attracted. Their perform style must be fascination. They perform in the style of professional. All the audiences think very highly of them.…

    Music has always been a very important part of my life. As a child, I was mesmerized by Disney’s Fantasia 2000 and watched the Disney sing-a-longs over and over. I began playing piano at a young age, and in middle school added more instruments to my list, such as flute, saxophone, and ukulele. I have had many opportunities to perform both solos and ensemble performances, but none of them have impacted me as much as my interactions with an elderly man named Mr. Roland Goff, or as we called him in my church, Brother Goff. When I was in 5th grade, I played a piano song in church entitled A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief. A couple years later, Brother Goff’s wife passed away and my family started spending more time with him. He told me he remembered the song I played in 5th grade and how much he loved it. I had many other opportunities to play in church as well, and he remembered and enjoyed each of them. It was then that I started…

    A Choral Tapestry

    • 1759 Words
    • 8 Pages

    It seems that versatility was one of choir director Dr. Charles Clency’s focuses when he picked out the repertoire. The program of the event reads: “A Choral Tapestry. A blend of choral genres: mass, madrigal, oratorio, opera, musical theatre, pop, spirituals, gospel…” and the list goes on. There was versatility even within the choirs themselves. For instance, the first six songs were sung by the Choir of Lake County, but the first four pieces were sung in Latin, French, Russian, and Italian, with mezzo soprano Sheila Bondurant singing Carmen’s solo in Habanera, while the last two were excerpts from the musicals The Phantom of the Opera and Oklahoma. This is quite the contrast. I’ll admit, at first the concert was slow. This could be because of my own preconceived notions on how the concert was going to play out, or it could have been that my preconceived notions were true. The following group caught my attention a little bit better, which was the all-women’s choir who sang a dreamy French piece called Clair de Lune, which translates to “moonlight” in English. Notions of leaving pervaded my thoughts up until the Chamber Singers…

    This concert was a bit less formal than any of the others. The choir members still wore their usual formal garments, whilst carrying sheet music in the recognizable black folders. The thing that stood out most was the allowance of the audience to join the choirs onstage and stand in their seats to be a part of the choirs angelic sound for just a few moments.…

    Music Appreciation

    • 419 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A few weeks ago I attended a recital/concert in the UMHB auditorium performed by the Waco orchestra (I think that’s who it was). At first when I got there, I wasn’t paying attention because I was bored and knew I was only there to get my fine arts experience credit. After about two songs, I remembered that I was in Music Appreciation and some of the songs they were playing, I heard in class before. I began to tune into to certain instruments and listen to their unique sound and what significant part they played in the song. I also began to realize that I was catching on to some of the patterns in the melody, for example ABBABBA. If I had never been in the music appreciation class I wouldn’t have done any of those things, but it’s just ironic that when you take a class like this, you find yourself paying attention to certain things in music that you never would have found yourself doing prior to the fact. One thing that really interested me was that in one song, a woman who was playing the trumpet had her own solo part. For one, I honestly didn’t expect her to be playing a trumpet, as bad as that sounds. Secondly, I didn’t expect her to be as good as she was. I was in shock at some of the notes she was hitting, and I admit that I was pretty impressed. I played the trombone in middle school so of course I had to watch the trombone players while reminiscing that I used to be the one up there doing that, I was pretty good. After not playing for so long, I forgot the notes and the certain places you slide the horn to make a certain note. Sometimes I wish that I could still play because I believe that being able to play an instrument is a beautiful talent. I would definitely go to another musical now because it’s fun when you’re there to listen and admire, instead of just being there because you have to. When you’re actually involved with the concert, it makes being there a lot more fun and makes you appreciate the work and practice that was done to…

    Lastly, music has become something that has taught me the importance of leadership, teamwork and friendship. It taught me that leadership isn't about telling others what to do. Leadership is about helping others and being someone other look up to. Music helped me become friends with people I had never talked to before, making them now my best friend. It helped me create a harmony between each and every person in my choir to show our full…

    Singing Satire

    • 996 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The support system of being in a group gets people out of the house and into chorus every week which is just one of the benefits that is specific to group singing and is the key part of why choral singers are reportedly happier than people who aren't choral singers. This joyousness that choral singers find in singing has been found in many cultures for many generations. There is a strong amount of nations where the mothers singing to their young seems common thread among the world- that would be the reason every nation has at least one lullaby. In fact, in the Women's Honor Choir we are singing "All the Pretty Horses", a Traditional American lullaby written from the perspective mother or caretaker singing a baby to sleep, promising that when the child wakes he or she "shall have all the pretty little horses". When we sing songs from diverse cultures and time periods we gain opportunities to learn about the cultures of others, and gain a better understanding of our own cultures and history. Another social virtue that chorus members embark on the path to would be empathy. Empathy or otherwise known as identifying oneself completely with an object or person, (Dictionary.com) is first reached by learning how to subsume into a group consciousness, immersing one's self into the community, which is something that is ultimately learned by any member in any choir. That’s one of the great feelings- that moment when we're performing and I get to stop being 'me' for a while so I can become 'us' feels great being a part of something bigger than…
