VIOLA'S HOME - CONTINUED
ZANONI knocks at the door. Before VIOLA can speak ZANONI enters. He remains cold, aloof and unflattering. He hears the SOUND of the violin that still echoes in the walls and ceiling of the home.
VIOLA PISANI
I dreamt I saw you here last night.
ZANONI
I can hear the music from your father's endless playing. It touches every note as if he is standing here.
VIOLA PISANI
I hear it play in the night. Most of the time he communicated with me through his music... It was beautiful, but, it was hell to sing to.
ZANONI
We should speak of the Englishman.
VIOLA turns away, trying to avoid it.
ZANONI (CONT'D)
You promised to follow my advice...
VIOLA PISANI
I have made that mistake! Again, just last night; when I saw you as

    This line said in Juliet's monologue could be interpreted as "Oh, Romeo, Romeo, where is Romeo?" by directly summarizing, but in context in the play, which becomes apparent with analyzing and synthesizing, it's translated to "Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo?" This also evidently proves how the Shakespeare sharpens many skills used by high schoolers on a daily basis, based on how most lines will require them to use and practice these skills when reading the…

    They found Maurice Stanley’s decomposing body at the factory grounds. He’d been lynched, the media concluded. He must have deserved it, they whispered under their breaths, or said much louder. After all, a people as wretched as his kind did deserve no better fate…. but did they, really?…

    “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”-Charles E Weller. The call to action is one of decisive and prudent mentality that starts with a simple “yes”, yet time and time again, hesitancy hinders the simple stimulus that could inadvertently change lives. Partly due to fear and uncertainty, the other majority derives from fondness for the shallow, calm waters of life, but unless a strong gale sets human immobility into motion, there will be no call to action. Well, at least not in a way shown by the Atlanta Boys Choir. The willingness to act on social inequality and the true generosity of the ABC was my impetus to comprehend the imperfections of my vicinity.…

    "A drive to do big things" landed Sheila Dilley in Berklee, where she ended up juggling the full load of a Music Business degree, newly married life, and assisting the President of Berklee himself - with the same radiant joy and enthusiasm for people she exudes as I sit in front of her today. Photo Credit: Alexandria Marie Clark Photo Credit: Alexandria Marie Clark For Sheila and her husband Jef, both currently based in Seattle, music continues to be their "number one dream". And if there is anything that can be said about Sheila and Jef, it is that they are dreamers.

    You are undoubtedly one of the most distinguished composers of our time. One of your most applauded works Pirates of the Caribbean has amazed me and many others for years. You seem to effortlessly create superior character and style in all of your film scores specifically Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. In my opinion, Spirit is your most impassioned and moving composition. You developed a masterpiece that encompasses the determination for freedom and the grit of a champion that transcends all other works of art.…

Upon death, music greets us once again to mourn and celebrate a life filled with music. Music is truly there in every part of our life.

    A feeling of desperation and lonesomeness, coming to the realization that you would do anything and everything with all of your mental and physical power to fit in. Including changing everything that makes you who you are. Being a “Stranger in the village” is difficult to endure, and some people are not capable of handling the desolation. When moving from state to state, it’s understandable that one might feel alone, but in most circumstances after spending sometime in a new place, a person will begin to befriend new people and separating themselves from others. Most certainly that does not always happen, and in those situations is where the real problem comes to life.…

    For the Violins, I chose Solo Violin. The sound is very shrill, dry, and cold. This made the lyrical sections hard to record. For the Viola, there actually was a sound called “Viola”. This voice shared similar qualities with the solo violin midi voice.…

    My Lord, My God, why have you left me to suffer here by myself? All is indeed lost and no sense of redemption can be found. Tybalt is in his grave dead to this day, no trace of recovery can be found by the doctors or the wisest men of the land. This is severely devastating and heartbreaking; words cannot describe what I’m currently going through. Tybalt was a great man, he was the man of the people, he nurtured and took care of me from my infant ages to my maturity stage, I even dare to say that he was the greatest teacher that I have ever had a dialogue within the whole of Verona, even greater than the late Hieronymus Fracastorius.…

    Today I am going to talk, in very abridged form, a little bit about my experience of getting to know the amazing person who goes by the name of Cecilia Bernard, and what I have learned about her over the past three years of knowing her, which was both a fortunate and unfortunate event. Fortunate, obviously, because I got to meet her and see everything great about her. Unfortunate, though, as it took me as long as it did to meet her. What I first learned about her is that she was very open and inviting. I found this out on the way to New Orleans.…

I selected my project to play ‘What Child is This’ because people love to hear piano, or music in general, at my church. I played this piece at the candlelight service as the postlude.…

    The structure of this piece is structured ABAB. The purpose of this composition of a whole was to be used at a funeral for the composer’s friend, Alessandro Manzoni. After this performance, it was not performed in a church again but only in concert halls. The purpose of the concert I attended was to entertain the audience with a story of the music. The melody was played by the musical instruments in this piece and it remained quite constant, only changing in dynamics with the rest of the ensemble.…

    I would consider my upbringing to have been fairly musical. Starting on my mother’s side with my mother; she tries very hard but lacks a sense of both rhythm and pitch however that never stopped her from singing me lullabies. Continuing on to the generation before my mom there is my grandmother who is very musical. I grew up playing guitar and singing/writing songs with my grandmother as well as with all her siblings who are very musically inclined. On my mother’s side the musical involvement stops there with my great-grandparents only musical contribution was singing at church.…
