performance. The song has a very uplifting tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale.

Following The Band of Brothers, was…

Last year I used the money for many things. I was able to buy my cello which allowed me to continue to playing, to practice, and to continue…

Gamelans may also vary intonation to change the blend of the ensemble. No two Gamelans are tuned alike. Every instrument is tuned to…

people have and will constantly fall in and out of love, the fear of the unknown has been experienced by many, and many more will experience such a feeling, and an orchestra has always been seated that way it has - string instruments in the front with brass, woodwinds, and percussion in the back. Various things that function in a certain way, and continue to function in that certain way, grow to become the norm accepted by many over the years that pass. We get so used to the way everyday things…
