Performances, Performances.......
I performed three times over the past week.
I am a member of the woodwind quintet at my school. The School of Music is hosting Atrium Concerts in the Library, a concert by a certain ensemble every Friday at lunchtime. We performed in the atrium of our library on Friday.
We performed a piece by a composer named Paul Hindemith called "Kleine Kammermusik fur funf blaser" or in English, "A Little Chamber Music for Five Wind Players." The piece sounded very dark and haunting , which is why this piece was my favorite. Paul Hindemith wrote a lot of modern music, and lived during the early twentieth century.
Next, we performed a piece by a composer named Franz Danzi from the classical period called simply "Quintet."
The second performance I played in was with the community symphony orchestra. I had never played in a professional orchestra before, and I truly loved the experience! We played "Les Preludes" by Franz Liszt as well as George Gershwin's "An American In Paris." I like the jazzy feel of the Gershwin piece, a combination of classical and swing. This was on Sunday.
Finally, last night, I performed with my school symphony orchestra in our fall concert. We played Robert Schumann's 2nd Symphony as well as music from Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars. We played a piano concerto as well, with one of the piano professors as the soloist.
I truly love classical music. It is very good for the brain, it helps me with my analyzing skills because of the great detail and often symmetrical patterns in it.
