The music concert was applied by two bands from Ohio university bands; the Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band. The concert was first opened by the Symphonic Band which is led by the conductor Richard Suk who is a director of the Marching Band of Ohio University. The Symphonic Band has played three musical pieces while the Wind Symphony band played four musical pieces. The Wind Symphony band was led by Andrew Trachsel who is director of Bands in Ohio University and the conductor of Wind Symphony band. In this paper, I am going to discuss how the conductor managed the ensembles and how ensembles act, and my opinion with the played pieces by both Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band. First, the stage was organized with a lot of chairs that they were…show more content… Then Bushdance (10 min and 23 seconds) and H.R.H The Duke of Cambridge March (4 minutes) by the Conductor Richard Suk. Bushdance was my favorite piece because it has different rhythms and very balanced and resonant especially that they use different tools not only musical instruments based on blowing. Also, starts with loud exciting sound and then calm and soft and then again excited. Morover, the Wind Symphony played four pieces; three by the conductor Andrew Trachsel such as Profanation (7 minutes and 5 seconds), Concertino for Marimba (15 minutes and 18 seconds), and Overture to Candide (4 minutes and 50 seconds), and One life Beautiful (5 minutes and 20 seconds) by Rebecca Titus who is a graduate conductor. I enjoyed listening to the One Life Beautiful and the Overture to Candide. The One Life Beautiful is very nice and calm symphony I felt safety and peace while I am listening to it. I also enjoyed listening to the Overture to Candide which is very excited piece and has carious types of rhythms like I can describe them as excited, calm, happy, and peace. Andrew Trachsel mentioned in his speech that there is not a wrong or correct respond to the music because music does not make everyone feel the same way. The conductors have done a really great job by managing the ensembles to get these incredible music results. A conductor simply ensures that a group of talented people come together to make beautiful music. (Mintzberg,
