PART 1 Draped with elegance, the guitar-violin-chapman stick concert at the CAS auditorium made a majestic set-up featuring

lights of different colors as a background to the performances. The colors of the light were ravishingly elaborated by the cylindricalshaped fabric on top of each lighting material introducing a vivid embrace on the stage design. The ingenuity of the playful color mixing and color changes with respect to the different performances complements to the musical origin of each performance and invigorates the perception of every spectator. The focused lighting on every performance sends a hint of vitality of ever action and every note played by each musician. The refined crowd inculcated an insinuation of a profound atmosphere. The stillness and tranquillity instilled on the seat of each spectator fluoresced an aura of sincerity matched with severe contemplation. The ostentatious audio system on the other hand made a sharp impression for the notes played expounding the insightful glow of the atmosphere. PART 4 The hum 2 guitar-violin-chapman stick concert for my part made a hauntingly delightful imprint in my mind. Viewing talented musicians perform extra difficult pieces just before your very eyes grabbed my attention and never released it from start till the end. Some of the pieces were mind-blowing, some were severely relaxing while others were just mystically enchanting. The distinctive combination of artists and musical instruments held my heart captive from the very start. The introduction of chapman stick on the other hand had drawn my interest even more. To lack verbal knowledge in communicating once emotions and thoughts with regards to the concert is just the evident reality. For me to suggest for better ideas for the next concert would certainly be a challenging undertaking; however, the proposition of upholding the superior quality of the said event for years to come would surely be a feasible notion. PART 2 Moon in June, a chapman stick dedicated piece, was performed graciously by Abby Clutario. It was monophonic performance considering that it was played solo; however, the chapman sticks timbre made the performance sound polyphonic-like. Its tempo went from slow to a bit fast then back to slow.

Christina Perris A Thousand Years, a contemporary pop song featured on Breaking Dawn the movie, was performed by Nobel Queao on guitar with Abby Clutario on vocals and chapmad stick. The song had a heartfelt inspirational message to its listeners/readers. The musical piece had a slow tempo and has a sectional form due to the presence of repeating and contrasting sections. The phrasing of melodic lines was smoothly connected (Legato). The pitch of the musical piece at the climactic part of the chorus was high. On the most part of the musical piece, the melody moves through steps. The dynamics of the music shifted from soft at the start to moderately loud at the middle then back to soft at the end. There were also repetitions of melodic pattern in a higher and lower pitch (sequence).

Field Day, a new age music by Jim Chappell a new age artist, was performed by Pat Calisura on violin, Nobel Queao on guitar and Abby Clutario on Chapman Stick. The music was a sectional form which is three part ternary having a statement, contrast and a return. The melody of the theme was joyful and inspirational sounding. The melodic phrase on the theme came in balanced pairs with an antecedent and a consequent. The harmony of the music on the other hand was consonant wherein notes blended well together. The timbre of each musical instrument produced a bright quality of sound that wherein each musical instruments tone color blended well together. The music was composed of high and low pitches and had an upbeat rhythm. The phrasing of melodic lines was also smoothly connected (Legato). PART 3 Nobel Queao, Pat Calisura and Abby Clutario made an exceptional performance on the concert. Pat Calisura and his violin was like a well-oiled machine that kept producing the right notes at the right time with an ample amount of passion lurking in every melody played. Abby Clutarios brilliance in playing the Chapman stick was elite considering that she practically backed-up the guitar while playing base. Though the chord shifting on the guitar was not that smooth as you can hear scratch like sounds on the string as his hand shifts from one chord to another, Nobel Queao made an impeccable overpowering performance considering the fast phase chord shifting, plucking and strumming of the guitar. Nobel Quao and Abby Clutario made a strong connection with the audience as they speak in introductions for each musical piece they played from time to time. They also associated with the audience in giving an encore performance. On the other hand Pat Calisura was more of an intense performer that made a puzzling image to the audience as he played his violin.
