This is just an example to show just how much Western Canons have influenced music after its time. It is very obvious when the song starts that the Beach Boys were inspired by Bach's Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring played by harpsichord and strings.

"As you begin to realize that every different type of music, everybody's individual music, has its own rhythm, life, language and heritage, you realize how life changes, and you learn how to be more open and adaptive to what is around us."
Yo-Yo Ma

This is one of my favorite quotes regarding music. Ma does an excellent job explaining why everyone listens to different music. I finally understood the meaning of this quote while watching the Wind Ensemble perform.

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

While listening to the Wind Ensemble perform Magnolia Star by Steve Danyew's I couldn't help but think about the song the Sorcerer's Apprentice that appears in the movie Fantasia. The fast and slow tempo in Magnolia Star reminded me of the brooms carrying water in the film Fantasia.

Sitting in the crowd and watching all the musicians perform was an experience like no other. It brought me joy to see them all look around at each other and at their conductor after finishing a piece with smiling faces. It really reminded me just how much music is important and can spread joy to everyone.

Out of all the pieces the Wind Ensemble performed, Vientos y Tangos was by far my favorite. The way each instrument was played to create a consonance harmony was spectacular! I found that being an active listener throughout this piece was important since the tempo would move from slow to fast quickly.

I'm not going to lie, I was not the happiest camper to be going to a concert on a Tuesday night. But I will say by the end of the night I was extremely happy to have been forced to go. The UNT's Wind Ensemble is a force to be reckoned with. The symphony left me speechless, I was in absolute awe sitting in my chair has each note struck me.
