1. Best of 2015 Medley- Anthem Lights
This piece first stood out to me because it was a mash up of many great songs that I have listened to this past year. The songs all range in their original sounds, but when mashed together the same singers sing the song. This piece really spoke to me through the idea of it being a mixture of so many great songs and it was still a great piece. This piece has influence to the world to me because it shows that artist can recreate someone else’s song and make it into their own unique work. The listeners should listen to the way the artist change the rhythm of what they are normally expecting the song to be.

I Met a Girl- Sam Hunt
This piece of music was one that I enjoyed a lot because it is my favorite genre and one of my favorite artists. The work by Sam Hunt contains a really good rhythm that keeps you listening to the song. This song stood out to me because he is talking about his first impressions of the girl and it is telling a deeper story.
3. Good Good Father- Chris Tomlin
This piece of music is one that I enjoy listening to at church and just a worship song that I love hearing. The piece really stood out to me when I was hearing it in my New Testament class and it touched my heart. I was so taken away by what the song was actually saying when I listened to the words. The piece spoke to me by showing me that God is a “Good Good Father,” and He is always going to be there for me throughout my life and any circumstance that I am going through.
4. Moonlight Sonata- Beethoven
This song is one that I first heard when I listen to music as I fall asleep at night. It is peaceful and allows me to shut my mind off.

    Für Elise by Beethoven is the song that expresses who I am. When I started playing piano, I got frustrated that most of my family had a natural talent while I didn't. My father talked to me and gave me one of the most important lessons of my life: "Practice makes perfection, if you want something, insist until you get it". After playing piano as a hobby, at age 17 I decided to take my skills to the next level by taking piano lessons at college and I challenged myself to first learn how to play Für Elise. It wasn't easy, but practice made perfection.…

    With the third movement called scherzo, I did not enjoy as much as the others because it was very slow and sad however, the clarinets did do a very good job in the piece. When I close my eyes during this piece I see white baby swans swimming very gracefully and then slowly but deliberately a huge black hole begins to form in the water and the swans are trying to get away from being sucked in. That is the part of the music piece when it accelerates up very fast and…

    The media perceives Taylor Swift as nothing more than a clingy, manipulative, and crazy young woman who jumps from relationship to relationship. Being the lyrical genius she is, Swift created the song "Blank Space" in 2014 to defend her position with this preconceived notion. She uses many rhetorical devices to explain her position in this argument against the media. With the beneficial use of rhetorical devices, Taylor Swift shows that boys will only stay if it is worth a fight, and that she is fully conscious of the media representation.…

    Eric Whitacre is a world renown composer and conductor with numerous composition awards such as being the youngest person to be awarded the Raymond C. Brock commission. In many ways he is a new age classic, already composing many works held in high esteem academically and professionally. The piece Sleep by Eric Whitacre is no exception, it is a melting pot of musical textures and word painting, put together by a choir of two thousand members. As it 's name implies it is about sleep and this constant theme is reflected in how music slowly flows along dream like and peaceful yet at times much like a restless night it gets louder suddenly and eases back down. The piece is quite relaxing and seems to transcend being just music to the point that the words are not…
