Concert.

I cannot recall the specific song title I will discuss in this blog post but i do remember that it was at a point in the performance when the entire mood of the concert shifted. It sounded almost like a smooth jazz piece, there was a bass, like a string bass, a drum set, a piano, and a violin. It was definitely a homophonic texture to the piece; the melody was carried out by the violin. The music was upbeat, yet had a very calming factor to it. It was like being in a Starbucks. The audience seemed to enjoy the shift in tone of the piece because you could see everyone sit up in their seats to get a closer look at what was being played. This was the penultimate song before intermission. So the audience was kind of anxious for a break, however the shift in mood from this one song helped carry over the audience's attention until intermission. During the song, the conference center was almost packed, so there was a good vibe going on. But most people left after intermission, and that kind of killed the mood of the concert. You could tell in the audience that everyone was there for student requirements. There was a huge difference in the feel of the audience before and after intermission. The performers were really into the music. You could tell from the bobbing of their heads and smooth jazz feel that they really enjoyed what they were doing. The soloists played on cue, and were very talented. Their passion for their music was evident through their performance. I'm glad I attended this concert. That one piece stuck in my head, and I really wish I could recall its title. Thanks for reading.
