On Thursday 12th of November Class 9 had the unmissable chance to see the Hallé Orchestra live at Bridgewater hall at Manchester !
We took a 30 minute coach to get there ,every one was ecstatic to hear them perform there greatest pieces.
We all knew 2 players of the orchestra because earlier that day we had a chance to work with them with lots of different instruments .
My favourite instrument personally is the Bassoon. When we finally arrived it was crowded completely. We were separated into 3 groups to sit in different rows.
The crowd quietened and the lights beamed onto the Orchestra. Nicholas Collon ( the conducter) walked onto the stage and every one clapped .
The first piece a was called Till Eulinspiegal’s merry pranks
Strauss begins musical story with peaceful music . It sounds like the words once upon a time . Then we hear a French horn playing a carefree tune that represents Tills trickery. After this there was a clarinet playing and that represented Tills laughter.
Next was Camille Saint cello concert
He was a great French composer . Remarkably, he wrote his first piece of music when he was just three years old and performed his first concert at just ten. In this piece the solo instrument is a cello.
