I noticed that the California Symphony occasionally performs newly written music, but the Austin Symphony never does. So, original music is definitely missing overall. The California Symphony innovates music by performing original pieces, typically with a certain theme for the concert. The Austin Symphony innovates by performing more popular music, such as film scores with the film playing simultaneously. I know that I really adore film scores, so I'd like to see more of that from the California Symphony, and I think it would be cool if the Austin Symphony did more original pieces. I definitely see myself in the music being performed. One of the California Symphony's original performances has to do with dreams, while the Austin Symphony has me with their Jurassic Park performance. ]]> 2017-09-24 21:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190628717 "A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything," Gustav Mahler. ahoeft1 https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190629579 This quote is certainly important when questioning if symphonies should perform music outside of the canon or not. ]]> 2017-09-24 22:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190629579 "Everything will pass, and the world will perish but the Ninth Symphony will remain," Mikhail Bakunin. ahoeft1 https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190630549 This quote really shows how by performing a canon song repeatedly, such as the Ninth Symphony, it will leave it's imprint in humanity forever. ]]> 2017-09-24 22:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190630549 Jurassic Park ahoeft1 https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190630900 This is a piece to be performed at the Austin Symphony. ]]> 2017-09-24 22:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190630900 Sibelius' Symphony No. 3 ahoeft1 https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190631171 This is a piece written not very long ago that the California Symphony will be performing. ]]> 2017-09-24 22:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ahoeft1/zngmvpzncd6s/wish/190631171
