loss; whether to grieve her cousin or support her husband. The nurse and Juliet also differ in age. This leads them to have different views on the situation. After Juliet knows her husband is banished from Verona, she decides to kill herself. “Come, chords; come, nurse. I’ll to my wedding bed; and death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead.” (page 874 lines 136-137) If Juliets nurse didn't disobey orders, fetching Romeo instead of the cords, Juliet would have hung…

heavier rock ‘n’ roll. Dylan was so impressed with the way Hendrix recorded it, Dylan then played the song Hendrix’s way. (Owinski, 2012) All along the watchtower is made up of only three versus and instrumental solos with a repeating single set of chords, with a constant change of sound. The lyrics are said to be more like poetry set to music, fitting to Dylan’s style of music (All Along the Watchtower , 2000).…

Being a part of Dayseye means the world to me. Throughout elementary and middle school, I was very involved in music related activities from playing orff instruments to being in clubs where we would learn about Broadway music. So when I first saw Dayseye perform, I knew that this was where I wanted to be one day. As mentioned in Bryn Mawr’s newsletters from 1981 and 1982, a lot of pride can come from being in Dayseye. Every part of the name is symbolic. Many would guess that Bryn Mawr’s symbol,…

“Few musical works are as loved--and as often performed--as the six "Brandenburg" Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach”(npr). The full title of the piece, by Johann Sebastian Bach, on autograph score is “Concerto 3zo a tre Violini, tre Viole, è tre Violoncelli col Basso per il Cembalo.” Bach wrote the piece in 1718, but its first publication was in 1851. This section of the six orchestral pieces composed by him is the only one with a more conservative musical design. This piece exemplifies the…

a good Republican”. Never in my life did I ever expect those words to be directed towards me, or to come from somebody as familiar as my father. My simple and seemingly harmless comment about a local news story on Channel 6 seemed to have struck a chord with him. As I stood and let his remark wash over me, I attempted to justify my immediate reaction: offense. To be honest, I wasn’t offended by this off-hand statement; I was merely confused by what prompted it. When had I ever declared myself a…

Lou Gehrig’s disease. Relatively rare, between 1.5 and 2.5 people are affected out of a population of 100,000 annually [2].This disease is caused by a continuous deterioration of motor neurons that are located in the brain, brain stem, and spinal chord. This disenables signals from the brain to communicate with the muscles, disabling the extremities to function, or paralyzing them [1]. Symptoms include but are not limited to muscle tightness and weakness, slurred speech, cramps, difficulty…

Whether digging into glam pop songs, avant-jazz routines with punk attitude, or sophisticated garage-rock episodes, impetuous guitarist Nels Cline, a creative powerhouse in small group settings, always sounds unique and fetching. Blue Note’s Currents, Constellations marks the debut of The Nels Cline 4, a quick-witted group featuring Julian Lage on guitar, Scott Colley on bass, and Tom Rainey on drums. Both guitarist and drummer had recorded with Cline before, whereas Colley is the novelty here,…

yourself singing his lyrics in the past, Conrad having penned tracks for Hillsong and Hillsong Kids. “Everywhere We Go” then is a bold new chapter in the talented singer’s career. Opening with a thumping beat, light keyboard dances on top of the pop chord progression, allowing the combination to cultivate an immediate intensity that will pull you in. Delivering a love song, the challenge that befalls Conrad in this single is the ability to make it take off and stand out. The good news is that…

that I’m really the only one who’s really into music. What I also love about music is that as you go along, you realise that you don’t really need to know all the theory stuff. Yes it’s really useful to know what notes work well together and what chords sound nice but in the end someone who has can have zero knowledge about theory and write a much better sounding song then someone who knows it while having fun. Writing music knowing all the theory behind it can become really boring. As one of…

use the pedal and play at a volume of fortissimo. (Miralman; 2003)The beginning of the piece asserts the Piano’s dominance throughout the first movement highlighting the strength of both the performer and the range of the piano. With 3 D-flat major chords in each bar, the piano accompanies the orchestra in a grandiose…
