Marc Chagall was an artist who was not defined by his present surroundings, but one who drew directly from his rich cultural past. Chagall was an artist of Belarusian Jewish descent who spent his formative years in a small Hassidic community where he was directly inspired by the rural scenes so essential to his artistic identity. Chagall is hard to categorize into one style or movement, he borrows many visual elements of Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism. He has his own personal,…

Melody- This song plays along in conjuct motion. The band stays in range keeping that nice even flow. The guitar solo took more articulation with the additional notes compared to the guitar rift. Legato definitely fits, the rift and the solo blend together appropriately. McJagger's vocals definitely add an unique accent. Harmony- The chords are in major during the whole lapse of the song. McJagger's vocals are also in major. Timbre- First and foremost, McJagger's voice strikes me at the end…

The song “Flamenco Sketches” by the Miles Davis Sextet has the cool jazz sound with the modal jazz style. The song has a light and soft sound with simple melodic improvisations. A traditional rhythm section maintains a steady rhythm throughout the song, but this rhythm section uses countermelodies to add colorations during the improvisations. The pianist is constantly playing a soft melody underneath the improvisations and sometimes mirroring the melody played by the improviser. The bassist…

This performance is from October in 2015. Personally I liked the piece, but it could use a little more help. While they have good points in the piece they also had some low points. The basses had a good deep and dark sound like you want for many of our male singers to achieve. Their vowels were outstanding just like they always are. The sound pyramid was in great effect in this performance. Wingate’s choir used articulation to their advantage when they were forming their vowels before the…

Music has evolved drastically throughout time. There are countless styles of music in the world that I appreciate and admire. However, I prefer music that has a message or story in it that touches my heart. The combination of moving lyrics, beautiful voices, and outstanding music composers creates magic. One of my favorite songs is a song called As Real as You and Me by Rihanna. I first heard the song while watching the move Home. It started playing while a characters sacrifices himself for the…

This essay will focus on comparing “Die Lindenbaum”, the fifth Lied from the Song Cycle, Winterreise by Franz Schubert with “Lucy, I Remember Your Name” (2009) by John Cooper of the band Skillet (www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7sjrjiOYYQ). While there are several similarities between the two pieces, there are noticeable differences; such as, the time periods in which the two pieces were composed. “Die Lindenbaum” was written in 1828 during the Romantic period to be performed with a piano…

The scene that I have composed a song to appears in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’. The scene takes place after (SPOILER ALERT!) Severus Snape is killed and Harry collects some of his memories into a vial. Harry then pours Snape’s memories into a pensieve to re-watch them. Snape’s memories take us back to his childhood and when he first meets Harry’s mother, Lily. The full scene is absolutely heart-wrenching as you watch Snape’s feelings grow for a girl that does not reciprocate…
