    Probably the most famous composer of plainchant, Hildegard von Bingen’s musical works were recently rediscovered and brought to light in the late twentieth century, when feminists sought to reclaim the history of music by women. Though she lacked a formal education, she is one of the very few known composers who wrote both the music and words, utilizing her substantial knowledge of theology and devotional chant, acquired throughout a life completely devoted to serving God.

    he always refused, his death had ruined him forever....I'm so sorry...he's never coming back..." He was choking on his own tears by now, blubbering on and Amaimon was incredibly lost as his father spoke in a fast and faster pace, his voice chafing octaves in his sorrow until he could barely understand him.

    Within Susan Neimoyer’s journal article George Gershwin and Edward Kilenyi, Sr.: A Reevaluation of Gershwin's Early Musical Education, she explains the inconsistency of literature written on the subject of Gershwin’s training. After reading, I’m convinced of the influence Edward Kilenyi, Sr. had as his private music theory teacher. The misconceptions written on the topic stem from music critic Issac Goldberg’s biography (which was later found to be ripe with inaccuracies) in which he writes…

    to be seen in the front and to show off different costumes with different movements. The singing was good overall. Riff Raff was my favorite singer because he had a nice clear voice and could hit some challenging skips and slides up and down the octaves. Brad, Frank, and Riff Raff all sang from their diaphragms and had nice support to be able to hold out some ending notes. Janet and Brad had nice harmony when they sang together but Janet could work on singing with her diaphragm more especially…

    The two violins and the viola and cells in pairs seem to take turns in telling a dramatic, severe tale. They play in octave unison, working seamlessly with the cello and viola following behind the violins. Parker states that this movement is known as the “Witches” minuet and trio.

Film as well as opera are a few examples, but it is not nearly as widely seen, or rather heard, in plays. The Tempest does a great job of incorporating sounds and music to construct the eerie, magical feeling of…
