Concert Report 3
Over the years, concerts have been able to gain popularity among individuals. The shows are held in established venues of art where a musician is expected to perform to the present audience. Live bands and musicians are the most frequent performers in concerts. Most of the concerts are attended by huge audiences who look forward to entertaining themselves with their favorite music genre. The beauty of culture is shown through performances that consist of classical music. The music describes the heritage of individuals and how it has been highlighted in modern society. Musical performances incorporate several aspects that are important in maintaining the consistency of the music.
In music, the form is classified as an essential aspect because it highlights the structure in which the music has been composed. The arrangement brings a reflection of the music form, which shows the musical composition of the performance, as seen in the concert. The form unfolds progressively as the performance continues, and the artists incorporate numerous musical instruments. The strophic form is used in the music, whereby the same melody is set across the performances. Different smaller forms have been put together to form the structure of the music. The form and structure help evoke emotions from the audience, which shows their reciprocation towards the performance.
The performers show the aspect of unity and variety in the music concert. The performance sounds better because the artists have creatively used the elements of unity and variety, which helps determine the response from the audience. The performers have used the idea of repetition, where they have incorporated similar designs in the music performance. They have further been able to add new ideas and patterns using several musical elements. The primary purpose of the performance is to entertain the audience through the use of different musical instruments. The different sounds and the performers’ skills leave the audience with anxiety as they wait for more content from the performers.
The music performance contained underlying beats, which are referred to as tempo. The tempo was dependent on the instructions given by the instructor ranging from slow to fast rhythms. The ability to hold and maintain the required speed was a skill exhibited by the artists, which made the performance more entertaining. Inserting different types of rhythm in the performance made the audience anticipate what will happen next. The rhythm formed uniformity in the performance with moments of silence that was accompanied by moments of silence in between the music, which later continued. The rhythm is further enhanced by the different types of beats and sounds.
Frequencies simultaneously occur in the performance with different notes, and this is concerning harmony. The players had excellent communication shown in how different musical instruments were used to create a great balance in the performance. Each of the players in the concert was able to maintain multiple pitches that played at the same time. The melody is not repeated numerous times, and this enhances the unity and variety. The classical music was incorporated in the performance. The type of music was invented in ancient times, and one of the performances was from 1958, as stated by the instructor. The basis mostly comes from performances of the past, where new concepts are added to the music to make it more interesting.
In summary, classical music has been maintained over the years. The introduction of various music equipment added more context to the music, and it became more entertaining. The concert was enjoyable since I learned how multiple pieces of equipment are used to bring out beautiful rhythms and maintain the structure of the music. Music concerts have emotional responses from the audience, and they are an excellent place for them to entertain themselves.
