The MPO concert opened with chorus cantabile with the whole orchestra playacting their instruments. In the prelude, there are two deeds. Both of these movements are kindle and dramatic in moods. At first, the violinists are playing with the skill of pizzicato . The woodwind part also plays a important part in creating the atmosphere. The musician hit the bass drum and increased the mood of honey oil in the exciting part. The pianist used the skills of staccato in acting too. In the second part, the music started with the woodwind part which created a tell apart mood with the previous part.The musicians blew the French horn with the accompany of the triangles before the choir started singing. It is a peaceful part. In the second movement, the bari touch who sit beside the theater director started his only with the accompany of some percussions such as triangle. Afterwards ,the draw part join the music. In the third movement, it has a drastic vary in mood where the moods t urn to lively and exciting. More instruments such as tambourine joined this movement and create the joyful environment. In the third part, it started with the arrange part. The moods is lively and happy.Then a musician plays the flute alone which creates a short peaceful moment. After that brass joins the music and creates a richer tone color atmosphere. While, in the second movement, the main point is on the choir and they are singing in a repetition style which creates an replicate effect. In the third movement, the choir is singing with the accompany of percussions and the moods is relaxing and lively. In the forth part, the baritone horn starts singing again. This time ,he is singing in a more aggressive mood accompanied with the strings. The mood in this movement is angry and desperate.After that there is a short piece of bassoon unaccompanied and the var. starts singing. I was impressed by the singing skill of the tenor and he sing in a mood of regret and sad. Afterwards , baritone starts singing after the tenor has ended. This part was ended by the choir singing with the accompany of the whole orchestra. In the fifth part, the soprano surprise me with her voice. She is singing accompanied with the strings and woodwind. The mood in the part of the solo of the soprano is sad and hopeless. After a short piece render by the choir, the baritone sang again in a panache like replying to the soprano.This part ended with the solo of the soprano in a extremely high pitch sound. In the sixth part, the choir sang with the accompany of the whole orchestra and the mood in here is peaceful and sacred. in the end in the last part, it is repeated again from the 1st part where it is the nearly exciting part in the whole ecstasy and it is grand in mood. I enjoyed the previous part as it seem like more interesting to me and I hypothesize it is a nice experience as this is my first time listening to an music concert. However I think it will be better if I could un derstand what is the choir singing about.
