sought to expand the number of available synthetic scales for composition. In 1907 the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924) as part of an examination of the tonal system based on what he called “the two Series of Seven,” meaning the major and minor keys in relation to the chromatic scale, attempted to write all the possible heptatonic (seven-tone) scales in his book Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music. Busoni states: That some few have already felt how the interval of the Series of Seven…

Being in a band has let me see some great compositions by Tyler Grant, and Robert Smith. The amount of joy I, and my friends have gotten from playing this music has inspired me to want to compose music. This experience highlights that composing music brings many people joy, helps, and inspires them. As a music composer, one could compose for animation, video games, or movies, to have fun composing while affecting humanity. One profession that involves composing music is an animation score…

rights sought to discreetly stop the procedure with legislation. (Yeoman para 5) Abortion is difficult to acquire now due to having parent involvement for minors, mental health of women, and gestational time limits. One in three abortions occurs in minors eighteen or younger. (Hasselbacher para 1) Thirty-eight states have laws requiring minors parents involved before an abortion takes place…

form has indeed been emancipated from the looming tyranny of the minor key and that the movement will, in fact, end in C major as opposed to C minor. In measure 194, the ESC is presented as a strong C major chord which should indicate the emancipation of the movement; however, this is not the case. As the closing material quickly continues, E-flats are reintroduced signaling that the outcome of the struggle between major and minor has not yet been decided. Beginning in measure 202, the cello…

Appraisal My link to the strand is Syncopation and my composition is written in a reggae style. I like the offbeat feel of this style of music and syncopation was something I wanted to explore within it. A well-known Caribbean musician is Bob Marley and I know that he uses a lot of syncopation in one of his best songs “three little birds”. In this song you can hear the syncopation in the hi-hat, cymbals, organ and guitar; playing the chords. In this way, he plays with our expectations of where…

The law would have to be centered around consent and not just notification if the United States wanted to decrease as many abortions as possible, due to the study that yielded that “parental consent laws reduce the minor abortion rate by 18.7 percent, while parental notification laws reduce the abortion rate by about 5 percent,” which shows how parental consent laws are superior at decreasing the number of abortions than just a law requiring notification.…

My role model is Andrew Albers. He is a big brother to me and an inspiration in my life. It is not only what he accomplished so far, but it was how he did it, and the actions he had to take to get to where he is today. He was successful in not only sports, but in his schooling and personal life as well. He is a great human being and presents himself well. While he has won many awards and has great achievements, he did not do this without any road blocks trying to stop him from being the…
