Venue, arrangements of musicians and instrumentation
The musical piece for analysis is a concert sung by Beyoncé. The concert was performed in 2013 at Chime. The concert performance uses a wide variety of instruments that play as the interlude, prelude, and postlude. The instruments also play a very important role of accompanying and harmonizing the performance, as well as giving the music rhythm, for example, the drum sets play to give the performance the rhythm before and at some point, after she starts singing. The concert also uses the violins as the melody is sung, also the guitar at some time, for example in the 11.55 time mark. The saxophone and trumpet can also be seen. The musicians in the performance play the violins softly all through, but the drums alternate, bringing out a different mood in the performance.
How the music is alternated
Beyoncé uses great musical skills in coordination with the instrumentalists in changing from one piece of music to another. When she is ending one piece of music, it is very evident that she has come to an end, for she keeps quiet, and the instruments go silent. However, when she moves to another piece, for example at 6.33, the music starts unexpectedly, because, she starts from speaking, then the instruments starts plays the beat as she speaks, and without notice, she has started singing. The musical instruments are sounded differently at every level to bring out different moods, and to well achieve the climax. Beyoncé also involves the audience in her performance fully by for example, asking them to put their hands in the air, and so on.
Description of instruments and audience response
I can say that the instruments in the performance are on point. They are played very well and they bring up the psych of the audience. They also play very soft when she has finished one performance, she is speaking so that she can move to the next musical performance. The audience have involved themselves in the music all through the presentation, because Beyoncé involves them in the performance. They sing along the melody which her in the part that they know. Some o9f them are seen clapping, and others dancing from where they are, some, also, shaking the heads in acceptance to the tunes of the music.
The singer, Beyoncé, performs many pieces that are best known by the audience to please them. Sher does this very often to raise the mood of the audience. She is not monotonous in her performance. Different pieces have different instrumentations, and all of them rejuvenates the spirit of the fans every time they are played. Each new piece comes along with a new spirit in the audience.
The audience sings along with the performer in section where they are very familiar with. Beyoncé also, does not want to kill the spirit of the listeners for she knows that they want to sing along. She therefore performs the songs that are widely known, so that the audience are involved in the music entirely. This is evident when she is shifting to another song, where the audience shouts and are very excited that a new good piece is being played. When she sings, there are shouts of excitement from the audience also.
There are section that are accompanied by dancing, for example between the 25.00 and 30.32 marks, where the performers dance on stage.
Musical elements
There are a wide variety of musical elements that have been used in the performance. These elements are used sparings, and uniformely. The most explicit of these elements are rhythm and melody which cover most of the parts in the music. The rhythm is achived by the drums, as they play all through the music, from the start to the end of the performance, taking very short breaks. The drums play both soft and loud. After melody and rhythm, harmony sets in at some parts. This harmony has been achieved by the violins, guitar, and some vocal chords at some potions in the music.
The texture in the music all through the music performance tends to be uniform. The texture is rough because Beyoncé uses very high notes when performing. However, some parts have a smooth texture for example at the very beginning of the music, when she sings smoothly, and the violins play very soft and at a low volume.
Creativity
The musician show very high levels of creativity in very many ways. They regularly perform the music is such a way that you cannot predict the next step easily. They for example, Beyoncé starts another section by speaking, then she starts giving the words flesh, then the drums start playing, and finally the word she was speaking initially becomes music, as all the other instruments join in for the performance. This creativity in music seemed to pull many people listening, and they seemed to be very much blown away by the music, for at that moment they shouted in excitement and amazement.
