Music-Culture III

The 40th Anniversary Faculty Concert (“A Night of Latin Music”) was an amazing event. It promoted Latin classical music which made the night almost magical. The selection of instruments was perfect. They could all be distinguished separately while coming together in perfect harmony. The music itself was beautiful. The final song, Tango di Tango, really captured my attention and stood out among all the beautiful songs played that night. Among the instruments used in that song, the accordion was the most effective because it was the only song in which this instrument was used. It gave the song a very unique, almost eerie feel. It evoked a sense of fright and anxiety while the low-pitch piano notes gave a mysterious and dark effect. The performers were just as great as the music. They were all feeling the music as they played it. Each gave their best to produce the highest quality music and became more motivated with the applause of the audience. The audience could not take their eyes off the musicians or their ears off the wonderful music being played. There were a few people in the audience who were disturbing the performance but they were quickly shushed by others who actually appreciated the art of music. Some members of the audience fell asleep by the lulling soft music; others were so thrilled that they did not even want to blink because they would miss a small piece of the music. The time of the performance was as great as everything else. The pieces were timed perfectly with regards to arrangement and length. The space was just as well. The auditorium served its purpose by delivering the music to every listener’s ear.
