The piece that I particularly liked was the first piece played Brusa: Missa pro defunctis. The Soprano voice started the play and the violists were in the background. The soprano could be heard more clearly because their section seemed to be the most powerful. Then the tenor was singing his lines, and it sounded like two of them were having a loud discussion. The music was abundant in tone color and a variety of pitches and moods. The four main voices: the soprano, the tenor, the mezzo-soprano and the bass-baritone was singing against the entire orchestra. The rhythm of the music was very intense. he texture was homophony in this play the voices and the pitches sounded at roughly the same time. The line forms drew attention to the soprano voice that carried the melody. The choir supplied the harmony while the main voices sat down. The melody was harmonized by changing back and forth between the choir and the main voices. They communicated the text pretty well.

This was my first time going to a concert at the Carnegie Hall. The Isaac Stern Auditorium where the play took place is nice for its live acoustics. The Main Hall is enormously tall, and filled with balcony seats. The style of the Main Hall is very attractive, and it makes you comfortable with the classical music that the orchestra plays. I was very surprised to see so many people attend this performance. All of them were of different nationalities and backgrounds but love of music gathered them here that day. During the whole performance the audience just sat quietly and listened.
