The musical performance I attended was held by Northern Wake Tech Chorus. This performance took place Thursday, December 8th, 2016, from 7:00 P.M. to 9 P.M., in building B, room 204. The concert venue was a decently sized auditorium. Getting to the venue early, there was a variety of seats to choose from, so I decided to sit in the third row in the center; right behind the performers’ seats, with a great view. As time grew closer to the beginning of the show, the audience grew, consisting of college students of various ages and performers’ family and friends, who came to support. The stage area consisted of a piano to the left, risers upstage right, and a conductor stand downstage right. Throughout the musical performance the background was

This song incorporated South Norwegian chant technique, which was created by the Sombi tribe, and Yoiking, a Scandinavian technique that creates an upbeat effect. The choir performed this song in a homophonic texture, a melody with an accompaniment by piano, with runs. The main melody, and or tune of the song that is created by a sequence of notes, was introduced at the beginning of the song which was the starting chant that was repeated by each vocal group and all throughout the song.

Personally, it reminded me of another song called “We move Lightly” by Dustin O’Halloran; it had a recitative that was designed to imitate exploration. This tied into the main idea of letting one’s imagination run wild and allow it to change the world in a way to make it one’s own. This spoke to me because I love expressing myself through creativity, making things my own, and creating my own path in life. It also reminded me simply of the movie, the people I watched it with, and how much I was enjoying
