Even though it was difficult to understand the words of the vocalist, it was still noticeable that the words went along the rhythm of the song and the melody. After the lyrical section of the song, the electric guitar had a solo which had a riff at a medium tempo; the solo seemed to have only been a written solo, since the musician appeared to be reading it from the music sheet. After the guitarist solo, there was a horn solo which involved tonality of high pitch notes. The whole band then played a consonant harmony that had the same syncopation as the introduction. Then the vocalist sang, while the guy in the keyboards played a chord.…
For the instruments I heard the violin , flute, horns, piano and many more that I quite frankly don't know. I felt like all these instruments brought the song to life. They all played an important role that maybe if they weren't there it wouldn't have sounded as nice. For "The C jam blue" I heard the piano,…
I highly enjoyed Kyra Selman cabaret show at Rockwell. She did an amazing job telling a story in a musical genre. Songs that really stood out are I am what I am, Drunken Love, and Black Girl Medley. The reason those songs stood out because most likely they are songs I have heard already, while majority of the other songs in Kyra cabaret I did not recognize and can not give a name. I enjoyed the whole show but the areas where I know the songs help me remember the story.…
I think that this song was very different from the songs we listened to in class, which was kind of neat. There wasn’t a clear rhythm of sorts to this song. I felt like a lot of different things were going on and each instrument had their own parts going on. However, it all flowed together really well. The saxophone(s) and piano played most of the choruses, and each had their own little part of a solo.…
A writer and a social critic, James Baldwin , had once stated “an identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.” One’s identity depends on the experiences and the path of life that one walk on. An identity is something that people see you as but an identity is made up of the experiences, good or bad, because it helps shape them to be the person they want to be. The Color of Water by James McBride, is memoir based of James and his mother, Ruth’s life in the 1940’s . This book is about the struggles they face and adversity that impacted their lives.…

Spector’s ensemble consisted of, “over 20 top session musicians for the recording,” many back up singers and Tina Turner (River, 2018). As the song starts one can hear the iconic entry of musician layering and heavy use of reverb. Right away Tina enters with her powerful baritone voice. When the orchestra and Tina hit their peaks, there is almost a sense of too much reverb. Additionally, Spector’s use of overdubbing may have seemed a bit extreme as oppose to complimentary.…
Jessica Risner Heather Ward English 1101-41 October 5, 2015 “Love You Forever” Literary Analysis One of my favorite stories to read to my daughter is “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. The story is about a mother who sneaks into her son’s room, once he is sleeping, and sings a song to him. She sings to him these words “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be (pg. 14).” My favorite part about this story is that once her son is a teenager, and even a grown adult, she still sneaks into his room and sings her song to him.…
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.…
People are always looking for their identity, whether it’s the one their parents created for them, or the one they built for themselves. Humans want to know their identity, just as the Ruth and James in The Color of Water, by James McBride, wanted. The book is called the Color of Water because James asked his mother, Ruth, if God was black or white, and she responded that “God is the color of water. Water doesn’t have a color” 1. This is a pinnacle moment because it shows the reader that identity may not only be about the color of one’s skin, but also the disposition of a person.…
Honestly, a wonderful way to open the concert, and if they would have continued to perform the rest of the upcoming movements, it would have been an even greater incredible performance to…
