Personal Narrative: St. Anne's Angle Church

Improved Essays
St. Anne’s Angle Church is a beautiful church. Its colorful glasses on the wall bring people to the different world, and its brilliant ceiling is picturing a bright night sky which was cover by the millions of stars. Its wall surrounds the seats are decorated with the oil painting and each of them tells the story of their god. I heard a soft humming voice before I stepped into the building; it sounds like well-recorded video tapes. The church’s entrance was a hole to the wonderland, and I fall in there.
Although it was a wonderful experience there’s still some part that could be argued. St. Anne’s Angle Church’s singers are well balanced. They have an equal number in each section, and it should be one of the strongest benefits for them to present a well-balanced chorus in the church. However, unexpectedly their male sections are very weak. Although the numbers of

Although there are some elements really annoying me I still attracted by its wonderful woman singers. When I was listening to their song, I was thinking the way of making that kind of colorful voice. However, I couldn’t reach to the answer by myself. During my midterm, my course instructor had told me that I will sound much better if I stop pulling my tongue back when I’m singing the high notes. I’ve tried couple times by myself at my house; I realized my voice get much close to St. Anne’s angle Church’s singers. From now on, I would pay more attention to my tongue movement while singing, and see if I can get improve and get closer to them or not.
There weren’t a lot of audiences. Including me, there were around twenty to thirty people; maybe because it wasn’t a well-known singing group. However, I think I’m one of the lucky people who visit there and went to the heaven travel. It burns up my eagerness and become a better singer. I really glad that I went to this concert. I learned while evaluating their singing and own eagerness toward

I sat in the upper level of the chapel and it sounded absolutely incredible. I was extremely impressed of ho both of the choirs blended incredibly well and always sounded in tune and on pitch. The Wartburg Choir’s “Ain’t no grave” sent goosebumps to my spine with their unbelievable musicianship and facial expression.…

    “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.…

    This performance is from October in 2015. Personally I liked the piece, but it could use a little more help. While they have good points in the piece they also had some low points. The basses had a good deep and dark sound like you want for many of our male singers to achieve. Their vowels were outstanding just like they always are.…

    I look down and see my mother smiling proudly at me, and I am taken back to where it all began. Rumour has it that I have been singing since the day I was born. In truth, my first experience with vocal music came at the age of two. I had listened to a song on TV, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with it, singing it over and over.

    Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral” quite intriguing. The short story is riddled with symbolism or hidden meanings. If the reader were to look at the story without analyzing properly the reader might think this story is about a blind man visiting his friend. With careful analyzing the writer has concluded that this story has three motifs in this small short story. The first motif is the worldly eyes of the husband, the second being a life lesson, and the third being religion.…

    "It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." Madeleine Albright. A woman's voice is one that is often twisted and constrained by authority figures, the modern media, and individuals who hold beliefs rooted in sexism and misogyny, often this encopmasses a large amount of the general public. Reasoning for this silencing is rooted in traditional gender roles forced on women and the fear that the feminist and the empowered woman will destroy the traditional woman. Often women fight back against a patriarchal society by proving their place in a field that has already written them off as useless.…
