Well, today is finals day and I must say that I am looking forward to Christmas break. I have thoroughly enjoyed this semester and this class in particular. While I was unable to put everything in my paper that I would have liked, I do believe that I have given some good information and hopefully the paper will help anyone that wants to know more about this subculture.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I had my orchestra concert the other night and I must say that it went extremely well. The soloists did an amazing job and all the pieces were fantastic. I could not believe how fast the Farandole by Bizet got by the end. My fingers could barely keep up and at some points, I know that I faked it. When playing a passage of music as fast as that, and shifting positions at the same time, you have to just do your best and stay in tempo. I think that my favorite piece of the concert would have to be Concerto by Corelli. This semester, SICO (Southern Illinois Civic Orchestra) combined its concert with that of the Wind Ensemble. This provided a longer concert for the listeners and also allowed the musicians from SICO to sit and listen to a concert. Hopefully they will do this next semester as well.
