This picture represents what I think is possible with music. To take someone away to another place. The music performed at this concert definitely achieved that in every regard.

To be taken away to a far away place through the art of music is a true feat. Leaving the setting that you're in to travel to the setting of the music being performed by the group is an incredible experience. That is precisely what happened listening to the Wind Symphony of UNT in the beautiful Windspear Performance Hall. Out of the pieces played, I by far enjoyed Ticheli's piece Blue Shades the most. It had me going the whole time listening to the different ideas and pictures that the composer was trying to show the audience.Music such as this is why I think that the classical music canon should be expanded. There are so many pieces that achieve what classical music can. This music can withstand the test of time and everyone can find something in this music. Anyone that listened to this performance could easily find something that they liked.

Music adds so much quality to life that many other things don't. Classical music was made to enhance the audience's world. To help them explore and think.

Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.

This image captures what I think is possible with this kind of music. It promotes the listener to explore their imaginations, to think abstractly and see the bigger picture of what the music is trying to show.

This military band portrays the pomp and circumstance feel of the Fugue a La Gigue piece performed by the Wind Symphony.

This quote speaks volumes about what the classical canon is trying to do. The classical canon wants music to speak to the viewer in ways that words can't nor can any other form of music.

Fugue a La Gigue provided for a great concert opener and helped to set the tone of the concert that was trying to be captured.

Frank Ticheli is in my opinion one of the composers that needs to be included in a broadened classical music canon. Blue Shades captures the qualities that I think classical music should incorporate.

Performed by the North Texas Wind Symphony Another amazing piece by Frank Ticheli :) Blue Shades is a fun jazzy piece that is great for any wind band!

Here I am during the performance while intermission was happening. The music was so great at that point that I just wanted to hear more.

The UNT Wind Symphony before the conductor walked on to the stage pre-show. The anticipation to hear this music was killing me. Since I used to play the clarinet, hearing live ensemble music being performed always get's me excited.
