The night of October 26th, the Concert Chorale, along with several other ensembles, performed at the Meet the Music Department Concert. During this event, the Chorale sang Barso Re, a Hindu piece written by A.R. Rahman and arranged by Ethan Sperry. The song was used in a film titled Guru, and if translated into english, “Barso Re” means “Let It Rain.” A.R. Rahman may also be credited as the writer of the song “Jai Ho,” a Hindu piece heard in the major motion picture, Slumdog Millionaire. While…

Sound Waves in Music Intervals Introduction Mechanical Wave Sound is a mechanical wave. It has an original source that is a vibrating object. It travels in a medium through particle-to-particle interaction. Longitudinal Wave In a sound wave, the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to direction of energy transport. This results in compressions and rarefactions in the particles- Lower pressure causes molecules to expand into a large region of space called rarefactions, and…

the mass change direction as quickly. This increases the time period of the oscillation. The greater the inertia of an oscillating object, the greater the time period which therefore lowers the frequency of its oscillations. Depending on how the waves are displaced indicates how big the oscillations. The elasticity of a spring also can be quantified by a measure of a spring’s compliance. Compliance is inversely related to stiffness, which means that springs that have relatively little…

end of “The Seventh Man”, the author, Haruki Murakami, had finally realized that in order to obtain closure from the terrible events he experienced, he would have to overcome his fears. In the story, the narrator’s best friend is killed by a giant wave right before his eyes. The narrator feels as though he might have been able to save him, but he was too scared to try. Consequently, in the closing paragraph, he states, “Oh, the fear is there, all right. It comes to us in many different forms, at…

spectacle, it is a thing that is made up of vibrating waves that move up and down back and forth. Two ways to think of sound in a real life example are: 1st a slinky; the way it jiggles back and forth is much like how a sound wave can jiggle, 2ond a water wave; the way that the wave looks much like a squiggly horizontal line that is what sound waves act much like. A vibration, A.K.A the up and down slinky motion and the to and fro water wave motion, are called vibrations. A definition of…

exhibit on Severson and Griffin at the Chapman Hilbert Museum, this exhibit contributed to a deeper understanding of the surf culture. Severson and Griffin were two passionate artists who loved nothing more than waking up in the morning and riding the waves. These two young men founded what is now known as the Surf Art Culture across America. Rick Griffin began surfing when he was 14 years old and has enjoyed the beauty of it ever since similar to other professional surfers I have learned…

Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without transferring the particles of a medium. Some waves must travel through matter, known as the medium (mechanical waves). And when they travel through the medium they cause the particles to vibrate. Some types of mechanical waves are sound waves and ocean waves. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves that do not need to travel through a medium. They are disturbances in both the electric and magnetic fields.…

Since watching the NatGeo/BBC Great Barrier Reef documentary on youtube (youtu.be/dwne0S2Hbag), I have dreamed, fantasized, and basically been obsessed with the desire to see it up close in person. After Obtaining my scuba diving license, I begged my parents to take me to Australia so I could fulfill my dream, which seemed impossible, until suddenly my dream came true. I got to opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Australia with a group of 12 kids, all older than me, that I had never met. I…

I am Calvin Aberg. I am 5’10”, I have hair and eyes that are chocolate. I am involved in many activities, my favorite of which is basketball. I enjoy basketball because I always like to savor the soft swoosh of my basketball as it softly falls through the bottom of the net. Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world.…

win”. In The Wave, the Nazi party social experiment proved this to be true. Gordon High School students who were a part of the wave were viewed as the “winners” in this novel, and the “losers” were those not committed to the wave. The members of the wave did not accept the other students who were not associated with the wave. Members of the wave even harassed and abused the students not devoted to the wave. When it was revealed at the wave rally that the wave was akin to the Nazis, the wave…
