It has a strong and powerful mood. It starts off with scared emotions that grow into acceptance and then happiness. There are major high and low pitches in the piece of music. The ones that stand out the most are made by the pitch of the singers voice. The tone color of this song is brilliant.…
The meter of the song is a 2/4 and has an A-B-A form. The rhythm of the song is similar throughout it had a long piece and then it went short, short then repeated itself. The ballet feels like a romantic love song that is happy and enchanting. The ballet deals with emotion, imagination, and magic. It is a very airy, sweet, and fluid work of art, I can see how it has gained so much popularity over the years as it gives a magical feeling when you watch…
“This work tells the night of transition of a beloved familiar of mine, on a night in a hospital. With no dramatic or compassionate intention, I created "La Noche" to amplify our separation and our unitive annihilation, like a song whispered in the ear of the one who goes, and the one who stays. An ode to everything we experience on this loss, and everything that we know stay forever when the body of the beloved is gone. This song should be heard by night, in absolute darkness with headphones, to obey the sound after initial resistance.…
In the first listen, the expression of the singer, which seems acoustic in nature despite the background play bring out the message in the song. Based as a description of what used to mare the African American community, the song expresses the anguish especially in the tone of the song. The somber nature expressed in the lyrics of the song are in conjunction with the soft but squeaky musical instruments. The musical instruments in the first few seconds of the song are also catchy, with it taking twist from the opening tango melodies to the jazzy and blues musical arrangements.…

This piece was performed by the Orchestra. Moreover, it started of soft (piano) with the string family and percussion family as well. The piece was more relaxing, smooth and really good to hear. It does get louder as the piece goes on. This piece was short, however it was a beautiful tune to listen to.…
The song “***Flawless” was written and performed by American singer Beyoncé, featuring an excerpt from a talk given by Nigerian writer and self-proclaimed feminist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It should be known that Beyoncé once participated in a show called Star Search with a big dream, only to lose out against another competitor. This is also mentioned in the music video that accompanies this song. It should also be noted that she is unusually aggressive in this song.…
When one examines the field of fine arts, he is unlikely to find a category as mysterious, captivating, and expressive as music. Given the greatly varied psychological and physiological effects music has on individuals, it is apparent that composers must utilize a variety of complex techniques to stimulate our myriad of senses. Most simply, perhaps, is the usage of musical patterns that match the lyrics of a piece. For an early example, in Weelkes’ madrigal As Vesta Was from Latmos Hill Descending, when the text says “chase after” or “move quickly”, “…the music becomes fast… voices chase [each other].” (Wright 77).…
Marlena Houck Professor Christopher Schmersahl ENC 1101 9/18/14 Appreciating Art: Rough Draft “In the Arms of an Angel” by Sarah McLachlan is one of the most beautiful and moving songs that has ever been sung. It has proven to be a remarkable piece of art since its release in 1997 because of its enduring use in many different settings. It is delivered in an attention getting manner with simple melodic tones and little background music.…
Partita no.4 in D major, BWV 828 The fourth partita, whose original title page was dated 1728, is the most splendid of the partitas. Three or four movements – the overture, courante, gigue and perhaps the minuet – evoke orchestral style, but the remainder are intimate and highly expressive. The overture is of the same type found in the orchestral suites of Bach.…
Today I went to Holiday in Whoville concert with Kelly together. It is really a very good experience for me because this concert is very different than other concerts that I have been before. Compare to other concerts this concert is more like a big party for me. When the singers sing the songs on the stage, all the audience can sing along with them together. In addition, because it is almost Christmas so all the songs are relevant to Christmas.…

Bach Mass in B Minor music concert at Converse College, featuring a performance by the Spartanburg Festival Chorus. I enjoyed the musical selections performed by the chorus and saw a few familiar faces of some of my classmates at the concert as well. The venue of the concert was very nice and a lot of older people attended the concert.…
Black womanhood continues to be as important as feminism. Black women have been treated wrong for some time now, they have been raped, beaten on, barely able to work, but still manages to be just as resilient as everyone else. Women, in general, are not being treated as an equal, but for a black woman it is even worse. Maya Angelou once said “as far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.”…
This does not possess a catchy melody, but one that has a jagged contour and great complexity, skipping up and down the piano. The voices of the characters, likewise, are required to produce many different tones in order to give more complexity to this melody. I believe the intent of this piece was communicated very well, giving the readers a story of true love and how powerful it can be. Even though the audience knew the ending of this story, they were still able to feel through the performance how much the characters had loved each other…
Rossini was born in Pesaro, Italy. His father was a trumpeter and his moher a singer. Young Rossini composed his first Opera at fourteen. Rossini was known mostly for his operas and his carefree spirit and good humor. He didn’t start focusing on songs until after the end of his career.…
