The whole concert, especially the pieces with instruments, gave me a vivid image of Walt Disney's 'Fantasia'. The first piece very much reminded me of the part in fantasia showing the dinosaurs. It made me think of dinosaurs fighting each other, trying to find food, and to survive in the horrid weather. I was always looking for a melody, and once I expected one to soon come, it ended abruptly.
The second piece made me jump out of my seat... twice. The lights turned off and I thought it would be just for a second then realized it was the new setting for the next song. The song made me believe I was in a horror movie. I half-expected people to pop out of the walls and attack us. It was a new world. I imagined I was in a spooky old house, with the walls creeking, then outside with crazy insects and monsters running around me. Finally, it stopped, and I was back to the comfort of my seat.
Another piece used similar background music to the piece I just talked about, except it had a Tuba player playing along with it. I found it amazing how adding one new sound to a song completely changes the vibes I get from it. It sounded vibrant, like the Tuba was the hero in the story, and I followed it through the quest for righteousness.
All of the songs I heard gave me vivid pictures in my mind and strong feelings. I would probably never want to listen to these songs for my own pleasure, but I did enjoy thinking and feeling things that other sounds and songs haven't done for me. It was a different kind of music and I'm glad I got to experience it.
