On Tuesday, November 12, I attended the Faculty Chamber Music Concert, which included pieces by four influential music composers. This concert took place at Sykes Chapel and the Center for Faith and Values. This location was ideal for this performance as it sets the perfect tone for the music being played. There were three artists; Barbara Prescott, Maurizio Venturini and Grigorios Zamparas, as well as three instruments played during this performance. Barbara played the flute, Maurizio played the bassoon and Grigorios played the piano. After listening to these pieces performed by their actual composers and then by the UT musicians, the talent and creativity were very well expressed in all four pieces. The first piece performed was the Trio Sonata in G major by Johann Joachim Quantz. Joachim Quantz was a German flautist, flute maker and composer of baroque music. The artist who performed most parts of the Sonata was Barbara Prescot. She played the flute beautifully, which made the entire crowd look at her in awe. Barbara was probably my favorite composer during the entire concert because of how she was so comfortable with the music and how it seemed to come naturally to her. The concerto opens with the flute, then followed by the bassoon, which work wonderfully with each other. The piece was divided into four movements; Adagio, Allegro, Adagio, Allegro. With each varied movement, there was a texture between the solo violinist and the harmony created by the other instruments. Monophony was heard by the solo violinist, then it shifted to homophony when the other instruments were added. The tempo seemed to jump, but remained almost standard. Say no to plagiarism.

Overall, the piece was performed very well with each movement, and each instrument worked very well together to create a strong rhythm as well as the flute soloist. The second movement was also by a Baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi, who was a very influential musical composer of his time. The piece performed was the Bassoon Concerto in B flat major. It started with the combination of all the instruments, they started loud, then got quieter, then louder again. During the piece, it was the bassoon that was heard the most compared to the other instruments, especially during his long solo piece near the beginning of the concerto. For the most part, all the instruments worked together to make up the chorus and as the chorus got quieter, there was one instrument that stood out the most. Therefore, it was easier to say that there were three movements; Allegro, Largo and Allegro. Throughout this piece there was a lot of transparency brought by the musicians who seemed to be holding back, but at the same time there was an element of excitement. The third movement was Ballade for Flute and Piano Op.288 by Carl Reinecke, a German composer, conductor and pianist of the Middle Romantic era. This opened with the piano playing softly, then the flute adding a beautiful melody. Throughout the piece, the piano and flute used homophony as well as solo pieces incorporated into each other. Most of it was performed in triple time and the melody created by the piano and flute did not seem constant, but almost as if it repeated later in the piece. For part of the song it seemed..
