that felt like they discovered me, which they did. That’s something no one can ever take away” Shakey Graves told the Austin Chronicles. This artistic attitude really comes out in his music in my opinion. In Late July there is suck variety in the tempo, melody, and rhythm but the mood never changes.

This movement is much faster in tempo that the second, and even slightly faster than the first. The theme returns and there are many sections of fortissimo passages of the soloist and orchestra building off of each other’s sequences. This movement ends with the soloist playing a sequence…

Chamber Singers and the high school symphonic choir. This piece has a conjunct melody and a consonant harmony.

specific, they use rhetoric to appeal to large groups like college students by showing party scenes, scenes with women in bikinis, and they even throw in the use of alcohol to suggest they are having a good time.
