Growing up in Hiram, Georgia, I never imagined myself at a high school in Wisconsin, but, oddly enough, I did always have a feeling I would end up at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Something about the atmosphere of Camp Randall drew me to the television for every Badger game. The red and white sea of people at the stadium would put me in a trance. As I became older and learned more about college, Madison continued to stand out because of its programs, its marching band, and its campus.…

supporting character, waki, plays roles such as a monk, priest or samurai. The waki always portrays living people in contrast to the shite. The musicians are known as Hayashi. There are four musicians that provide soundtrack for the performance using a flute (fue), shoulder drum (kotsuzumi), hip drum (otsuzumi) and stick drum (taiko).

It was great to hear from…

For my three movies that I think should be appreciated even after many of us have left, would have to be Spider-Man, The Hulk (2003), and Selena. Why Spider-Man? You may be asking yourself for the first pick, well since this movie is all time favorite movie because I enjoyed how Tobey Maguire captured the essence of Spider-Man. I enjoy the story plot. The actors for each character couldn't have been any perfect. The fact which everyone can relate to Peter Parker, well maybe not the part that he…

Song no. 2 displays how Shostakovich uses uncertainty in major-minor mode to evoke folk-like flavor. In the orchestral introduction of song no. 2 mm. 1-18, the music sounds as if in an F# minor key, but the E major chords in mm. 16-18 that proceeds to the A major chord in m. 19 provide a certainty that the music really is in the key of A major (fig. 15), with the submediant chord at the beginning of the song gives the song a minor flavor. Fig. 15: The dominant chord in mm. 16-18 in song no. 2…

We see the harsh comparison of the dancer singing, “Her voice was like the sound of blended flutes / Blown by black players upon a picnic day.” (McKay line 3-4) and the excitable and brash energy of the crowd, “; and tossing coins in praise,” (McKay line 10). This contrast gives helps provide a much…
