"Wind Ensemble at Large", this was the title of concert that i had attended yesterday night. This was the FIRST concert that i had ever attended in my whole life and the SECOND time i entered MPO. Attending concert in MPO has been one of my wishes since i knew MPO is located in KLCC and yesterday, FINALLY, my dream came true. Thanks to German lecturer, Christine and Raphael!
As the title "Wind Ensemble" implied, the whole concert were featured by woodwinds instruments. Flute, clarinet and piccolo are some of the examples of woodwind instruments. For all these years, i only got the opportunity to listen to the artificial sound of these instruments through electronic organ. Sometimes, i doubted whether these musical instruments really exist for not much people learn to play them, talk about them or even know about them. Therefore, it really opened my eyes when i saw all these instruments with my own eyes. I got the opportunity to listen to the original sound projected from these instruments, to observe how they actually look like (size, shape) and the most importantly, how the musicians skillfully danced their fingers on them and coordinated with one another perfectly to produce marvalous, fantastic music.
For the one-hour concert, all the music was rather slow and traquilising. For some, these music were actually putting them into sleep! BUT, that's the point! If the music was not well-played, they would never had the calming effect on the audiences. Get it? The concert started with a few woodwind instruments and gradually, the number and the type of instruments was increased, making the whole concert more and more grand. Witnessing how the musicians played, it seemed easy but actually, NOT AT ALL, not even for the well-trained musicians. But, they really put all their effort in presenting the best performance for us. It was clearly reflected on their facial expression, especially the irresistable broad smile that popped out on their face when they successfully played the most challenging part of the music. Super super big applause roared through the hall everytime after they finish playing and everyone truly enjoy the music!
The journey back to student house was another BLAST of the day! Songs by songs, mainly Superjuniors' songs, rocked the van and almost every spirit in the van. It's music again that spiced the atmospehere up! We all LOVE MUSIC so much! At that moment, how i wish i the van would never reach its destination.
All in all, it was truly a wonderful day for me!
