the bands album: A Night at the Opera. I believe everyone should listen to Bohemian Rhapsody at least once in their lifetime. The song has more variations and contrast than most songs we listen to today. Even though this piece has many frequent changes, the lyrics are still extremely catchy. Not only are the lyrics catchy, but they also have a deeper meaning if you really analyze them. The piece is about six minutes long and consists of many intros, a balled segment, an opera segment, a hard…

His cravat is tied neatly – c'est la – and his hat has been taken off his head and placed neatly beside him – so. Monsieur Sage is with us nearly every day. His shoes are shined by the boys who come in with their big boot-black kits and eyes like bad charcoal sketches. His waistcoats are eyed by Madame Duchamp, who…
The History of Bela Bartok The composer that I will be writing about in the paper will be Bela Bartok. Bartok was born on March 25, 1881 and he died on September 26, 1945. He was a Hungarian composer and pianist. He along with another composer named Liszt are known as Hungary’s greatest composers. What I found really cool during my research was that he was musically talented at an early age. He was able to play 40 pieces on the piano at the age of 4.

The iconic thanksgiving turkey is a prime example. Dining, with or without company can invoke feelings of emotion as well as physical contentment. Such…
