Music is an incredible piece of life that we are so blessed to
have and will continue to
treasure. It creates something that cannot be found anyplace
else. As one of my intellectual
professors said, “music arises and intervenes when words no
longer can solely express an
emotion or make a point.” It plays such an important role in our
society and should be paid more
tribute. Whether or not the music is our native language
(vernacular), or nurtured by our culture
(cultivated), they both have significant effects on the human
race. I believe that the relationship
between cultivated and vernacular music is an exquisite thing.
These both are cherished because
of their unique characteristics, but also because of the
underlying messages they convey. The two
performances that I chose are similar to one another below the
surface. The relationship between
these two, their differences and similarities, shows that music is
more than just a beat, more than
just a rhythm, and more than just words. They show that there is
meaning, there is emotion, and
there is life.
The atmosphere varied between the two concerts. During the
Mozart performance the
2. audience stayed tranquil, and respectful. They were silent to
show respect and interest in the
intricate music being performed on stage. Throughout the
Beatles performance, the audience
portrayed enthusiasm, and respectfulness. While they were
excited about the concert, they
remained encouraging instead of condemning. Comparing the
two, the energy level was high for
both, but in distinct ways. I feel as though the energy level is a
bit more difficult to identify for
Mozart because of the lack of obviousness. The audience’s
energy level was based on being able
to feel the music as the tempo rose and fell, and as the energy
and emotions increased and
decreased bringing life and meaning to the music. However, for
the Beatles concert there were
words being shouted and the band was introduced in an
electrifying way as the crowd cheered.
That behavior is expected at a more modern band concert as
opposed to a more refined and
orchestra concert. The different atmospheres call for different
behaviors. The audiences were
really connecting with the music in both settings and were being
brought to life. As the Mozart
performance was more introspective and the Beatles were
evoking excitement, they both were
astonishing. I would certainly say that the differences in
atmosphere shaped my response. The
way the crowd responded and acted really weighed on me and
influenced me to response in a
similar manner. The energy levels dragged my personal energy
level with the direction it was
going. Therefore, during the Mozart concert I was more
focused, calm and professional; while I
felt like jumping on my feet to dance and shout for the Beatles
concert.
3. In the Mozart performance the beat was consistent throughout
all of the pieces, while the
rhythm fluctuated. The tempo and dynamics were unfailingly
applied and were distinct parts of
the concert. Specifically, an example of different tempos shows
the fall in speed at 1’27” and
then how it is followed by the rise in speed at 1’29”. An
example of dynamics is at 1’40” as the
music becomes soft and then more vibrant at 1’43”. The melody
was brilliant and memorable,
keeping to the roots of its archaic genre. The most memorable
point in the Mozart performance
for me was between 8’48” and 9’27”. During this section of the
performance, I really was able to
connect deeply. From 8’48” to 9’25” the tempo was very fast,
like a heart racing. Following, at
9’26” as the tempo pace slowed down, it was almost as though
the heart was getting back on the
right beat and moving in the right direction. In the Beatles
performance I felt as though the beat
was consistent throughout, while the rhythm fluctuated similar
to Mozart. Their music is meant
to excite the crowd and get people on their feet. They were
instrumental in the rise of rock music.
In this concert the tempo was fast and continuously excited the
crowd. If you look closely, you
can notice the lead singer tapping his foot on stage to the beat
of the song at 4‘20”. At 6’55” the
rhythm changed and almost seemed like they were taking a
breath before getting back on track.
My favorite part was at 5’24” when two of the singers first
leaned into one microphone to
harmonize together. The harmonizing throughout the song
increased the quality of the musical
performance.
Music always has been able to affect me in an exceptional way.
4. I feel as though I am able
to connect on a much deeper and thorough level than most.
Music has always, and continues to
mold and form me into looking at myself and life as more
stunning that I first believed. In simple
terms, music is therapy to my heart and soul. As I watched the
Mozart performance I was taken
back to a more refined and archaic era. The changes in tempo
and dynamics helped my soul to
get in tune with the rhythm. As the tempo and dynamics rose
and fell, my heartbeat followed.
This allowed me to reflect on my inner-being and evaluate how
that rhythm related to my life.
Being able to connect in such a way eased my soul as the
concert came to a close. There is
something indescribable about instrumental music that really
hits home if you give it the
opportunity. The fact that we are able to connect with music
even when words are not used is
such an outstanding advantage of life. I believe this is because
it is vernacular music, which is
our native language. We were born to be able to connect and be
cleansed by this style of music.
As I watched the Beatles performance I had a slightly different
experience. Throughout the entire
musical piece only one emotion was evoked: excitement. This
comes from multiple angles: the
incredible introduction, the audience constantly screaming from
utter enjoyment, and the mere
fact that the music itself is fun. During this concert, I did not
have time to sit still and reflect on
my inner-being. I was just at a constant level of excitement and
anticipation for what came next.
It did not matter the words being sung, just the songs
movements. Although this is different from
Mozart, it is not necessarily bad. This is music that has been
5. created in our culture and has
evolved with time. From here on out these songs will be
cherished by me because of their impact
