Surprisingly the intermission arrived quiet soon and we were allowed to stretch our legs. Personally, the second half of their…

A lot of people still like old time music because of there background and the way it fits in with there life but then again a lot of people have really started fitting in with the modern music we all know of in todays world. The way music has changed since prehistoric music was that in ancient times the way…

twelve-tone composition, where every note in a chromatic scale must be used once before it is repeated.
