I'm not a active "classical" music listener and was not particularly wanting to go and sit down to see this performance but like I said, it turned out to be something great to see. I particularly enjoyed listening to "Hammersmith:Prelude and Scherzo" by Gustav Holst and "Blue Shades" by Frank Ticheli. These two were my favorite, I found Hammersmith:Prelude and Scherzo to be slow at first but then building up to an intense and loud performance and I found Blue Shades to be a really nice and fun piece that they showed. Overall the performance was beautifully played and I was very impressed by the symphony.]]> 2017-10-01 21:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192815266 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192816131 My overall reaction was impressed and inspired by the pieces they played. I found myself at moments being content and calm with the quite moments, such as the beginning in "Hammersmith:Prelude and Scherzo", and then soon after very intensive to the louder moments that followed it. I also enjoyed the sound of "Blue Shades" with its more jazz like sound and found it very enjoyable to listen too. I overall loved the pieces performed at the symphony and was throughly impressed by how much I ended up liking the music played.]]> 2017-10-01 22:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192816131 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192816902 This one of my favorite pieces played at the Wind Symphony]]> 2017-10-01 22:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192816902 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817025 Another one of the pieces in the Wind Symphony that I was impressed by the soft beginning and the much louder middle and climax.]]> 2017-10-01 22:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817025 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817377 I accidentally sat very close to the symphony, but I'm glad I got to see it that close up.]]> 2017-10-01 22:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817377 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817492 2017-10-01 22:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817492 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817807 This is a link to background information about "Hammersmith:Prelude and Scherzo" and by the man who wrote it, Gustav Holst.]]> 2017-10-01 22:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192817807 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192818063 This is a link to information about "Blue Shades" by Frank Ticheli]]> 2017-10-01 22:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/sqwfsakn7fz3/wish/192818063
