"They came to sit and dangle their feet
off the edge of the world
And after awhile they forgot everything
but the good and true things they would do someday."
(True Things by Brian Andreas)

The program said that this piece was meant to tell a story of "a lonely, contemplative wanderer reaching at twilight a city where a festival is in full swing" (Program). The beginning was so exciting, that it felt as if I was watching a carnival. I could almost see elephants and people swinging from a trapeze. The song slowed down and I imagined what it would be like to wander from stall to stall. Then it truly picked up, as if the finale was happening. It was one of my favorite pieces.

I loved listening to live music. Every piece caused a story to form in my head, and transported me to a different time and place. Never has classical music done that for me before. I enjoyed all of the pieces, and now I want to attend more concerts.

Upon hearing this piece, I thought it sounded very Cuban. When I read the program, I realized I was right. I could tell that hitting the note on the beat wasn't the aim, because it felt very free flowing and organic. The song made me want to dance.

My best friend and I both commented on how sweet the music sounded, before we even read the notes. We discovered the composer wrote it as a wedding gift to his two friends. It was gentle and sweet, and the piece made me smile.

I had been in band in middle school, but it was nothing like this. Every song was performed with great skill, and was very professional. I admired everyone's talent with their intruments.
