HeckelphoneNYC Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Hi everyone! These are videos of the concert my orchestra (New Jersey Youth Symphony, Group Sinfona (Grades 5-8)) played. Please tell me how you think our orchestra did! Thanks! P.S they're doing my arrangement of Ma Mere L'oye by Ravel on their next concert!!! Heckel Quote
Mitchell Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 There is an art crisis in Newfoundland, and my high school is suffering. So I would not bother posting those videos here. Quote
baarrtek Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 There are some tuning and intonation issues (It is very significant in the upper strings section) as well as some articulation. I am missing a pleasant sound; now some parts aren't as bad as others. Overall more practice is needed not in the sense of the notes but sound and tone that is being crafted by every single player from their instrument. Keep it up and keep practicing. :) Good Luck --- Bartosz Thiede Quote
composerorganist Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Second baartek's assessment. I think too it just will take some time for the players to develop that on their own as well as adjusting to matching overall tone --- some of it should be done by the conductor. But keep up the work! Quote
ParanoidFreak Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Considering the general age of the musicians, I say they did reasonably good work :happy: . Quote
mikeeasley Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Same here. This generation is doing okay though. Practice makes perfect ;) Quote
