Music Concert

Music Concert!
I attended a concert tonight which was my second one to attend. Trust me, normally I would not have gone to a concert on a Wednesday night and miss the Tigers play basketball but I had to. I thought I was prepared and knew mostly what was going to happen. I was wrong. I think it was because this time the performers were not the same as last concert. When I walked in the door I was given a pamphlet of the members of the East China Normal University orchestra. I could only read about three paragraphs because the rest was all in Chinese! I was worried that if I could only read half of the pamphlet then I bet I was only going to be able to understand half of what they were saying. I was thinking wrong about two things. The performers were a combination of East China Normal University and The University of Memphis orchestra and since it is a “concert” it really did not matter what language they spook, music has no specific language for each country!
The orchestra was made up of so many players. It made me feel as if I was attending some music show on Broadway. For some reason I always relate these songs to movies. The beginning of the concert reminded me of the recent movie “August Rush” about a symphony in New York City.
The first song “Spring Festival Overture” started off very slow and calm. It made me feel as if I was on a boat in the ocean. I felt as if something amazing was about to happen. It gave me the feeling of excitement. All of a sudden it changed to happy, fun fast moving music. It made me feel as if I was running away and wandering through flowers on a “Spring” day, relating back to the title. It reminded me of music out of Disney movies, especially Bambi or Snow White! It was so neat because there were so many instruments! The combination and the result was awesome! This song was definitely my favorite out of all the songs!
The one thing I learned from the concert tonight is that no concert can be the same as another concert. Even if it is the same song, not one player can play exactly the same way as another person.
