San Jose Youth Chamber Orchestra 2017

On 21st May 2017, I attended the San Jose Youth Chamber Orchestra. This was not the first

time I was watching the orchestra play. It takes place every year and I have attended it once

before. I have a passion for listening to good music especially the harmonized one such as what

is played in an orchestra has continued to fascinate me. Therefore, I decided to go and check on

my best Orchestra and what they were cooking that year. I therefore visited the San Jose Youth

Orchestra and got to witness some key aspects of the Music played there. This ranged from the

pieces and the mannerisms in which the pieces were played. Most of the pieces were appealing

to my ears. However, there were a few that appealed most to me. I enjoyed my time at the

concert.

I attended the concert just as a passionate and talented musician. In May, I had just begun

my training on the violin. I was therefore just there to see what people who had been in the craft

for a longer time than I was were doing. Also, I wanted to see how they harmonize with other

instrumentalists to make a masterpiece of music. I did not stay throughout the concert. Therefore,

I only heard through three pieces only through the whole concert. The pieces were, Adagio,

Distros and The talks of Hoffman. Some of these pieces are from historical times in the past.

However, the orchestra took the pieces and added to them some aspects of the contemporary type

of music. This made the whole of the three pieces sound as though they bore the Contemporary

style of music. I had a chance to have a close look at the Orchestra and see the instrumentation of

the Orchestra. The instrumentation was as follow, two clarinets, two flutes, two bassoons, two

flutes, timpani, alto-saxophone, four trumpets, harp, strings and three trombones.

Pieces Analysis

Adagio

This was one of the best-performed pieces in the whole concert. It bore some key aspects

that were very appealing to the people and me. Apparently, when people in the auditorium heard

the first progression of the piece and learned that it was the piece, then they began celebrating.

The instrumentalists of the orchestra maintained unity and variety in their progression. The

conductor employed very new aspects of the piece. However, He still maintained unity among

the various instruments. The piece contained a very high tempo. The beats to be moving very

fast, however, not too fast for a person to follow. The piece had a low volume while starting.

However, this volume kept on rising towards the end of the piece. The instruments were all in

harmony while they maintained a very good rhythm and form of the song. This piece is from the

contemporary historical period. It is a modern developed piece by Allegro Molto.
