...Hamilton, author of Greek Mythology Book, other writers on net which is my source of conceptualizing the details, composers and artist of all the music and sound effects for the soundtracks. Prelude : Story Teller: (Forever In Love: Sax Instrumental) Cupid and Psyche is a story about love. It is also about beauty, truth, and goodness, for these are three aspects of love: and it is about death, the hereafter, and rebirth. Its simplicity touches our hearts, and at the same time tantalizes our minds with hints of teachings that youth experienced during the higher degrees of initiation. It deals about human consciousness, with its fall from on high, its captivity in realms of material illusion, its ages-long wanderings, and its metamorphosis as it awakens and recollects with increasing clarity its divine origin and nature. Hence love endeavours to rise, as a butterfly freed from its chrysalis, into higher dimensions where it lives among the immortals. Cupid and Psyche is indeed a story of love, a love with transcendent power to raise the soul to divine awareness. As such, this is a love story to be cherished during those dark and silent moments that sanctify our lives. : My friends……the beautiful story of Cupid and Psyche…. Music : harp and lyre instrumental ( 30 seconds) SCENE I. (open curtain – stage 1) Narration : (background music : prayer to the goddess)Olympus was the residence of the divine family, the twelve most important ruling gods and goddesses of ancient Greece...

...MUSIC Music is one of an important part of life. It is a form of expression. It has no boundaries, and it follow no guidelines. Essentially, to me, music is like air. It has no true shape or definition, yet we need it in our life. Imagine a world without music. All you’re left is dust. Music is live itself. Let me tell you something, whether you realize or not every single thing around us is music. Even the nature itself is a music. The most beautiful music in the world is the music of nature. It’s bring peace in heart and mind. It’s harmonize music makes me keep my mind at ease. All the problem is like a piece of sketch when we face it with the symphonic of nature around us. Sound of birds chirping, rain drop and the flows of the river are an example of the music of nature. The more we explore about music, just then we would realise that it is not only all about rhythm, melody or harmony. In the different angle of music is also a tool for learning, therapy and teaching because it can adjust our moods, and used throughout our lives. So we must manipulate the music so it can posses us with a positive in our daily life. Music can make a huge change and development, the question is how we make use of it? Whether we use it wisely as a medium too succeed or we are the one who being manipulise by it. When people happy, sad, angry and lots more type of emotion that they confront, it’s very common thing for them to listen to the music genre that are suitable for whatever they felt...

...ID: 20090932 Course: Introduction to Music Instructor: Shirin Mussayeva Date: July 4 How changes in Kazakhstani society are reflected in music? Music is a mirror of the society. As society changes so does its music. 20 years have passed as Kazakhstan became an independent country. Changed not only the country but its people who became more patriotic, confident and modern. They started talking about those things that had not talked for years, they started singing about those problems they have and things they desire. This was reflected in our music, which is changing year by year. I want to talk about our contemporary music, positive and negative issues, how changes and development of our country and its society influenced music. I do not think that Kazakhstani modern music is at the peak of popularity. However, more artists appeared on the scene, more songs appeared on the television and the radio, and we start listening to it. If earlier we tried to imitate western performers, now we have own opinion, dreams and desires. Our songs have become more special and individual. The reason of this is development of our country. We start living better; we have more opportunities and perceptions. People feel it and try to reflect their sense of patriotism and gratitude in their songs. One of the famous patriotic songs which I like is “Moi Kazakhstan” in which Kazakhstani pop stars like A-Studio, Ivan Breusov, Makpal Isabekova start singing with words: “Здравствуй столица-это...

...By: forgottenangel38 Written on June 5th, 2011 Music is something that I have been raised with since I have musicians as parents, and it’s also something in lives of everyone. Music is often taken for granted but it lends to our every day in simplistic ways. Music isn’t just something that orchestras perform, but found in movies, bird’s songs, even our rhythmic heartbeats. Life without music would be like life without the enhancement of colors: dull and monotonous. I love music and it’s something I hope to make a career out of, music performance in particular. I’m often told by people that it’s a fantasy that can’t be reached being I play one the most competitive instruments. A teacher once said to me it’s impossible to be a successful musician and get good grades in school. Confidence is something I struggle with because of this challenge, but my love for music just makes me push myself harder. Music is significant in my life for several reasons. First, it’s something I’ve grown up with. My parents have provided me with numerous musical opportunities even before I picked up an instrument. Whether it be my mom singing Beethoven’s 7th Symphony to me as a baby or the numerous concert I’ve been brought to, music has always been there. Right from when I picked up a flute for the first time I found it exciting and I was willing to accept any challenge so that one day I could “be like mommy.” Since then, music has built up my work ethic and perseverance through frustration and tears...

...listened to music just for the pure pleasure of listening to music. As I’ve been racking my brain day in and day out for the past two weeks, I figured out that I did actually used to enjoy listening to music for the following reasons: the lyrics, the vocals and the happy memories that would come rushing back when I would hear a certain song. There were many songs that I would listen to over and over again because of the lyrics in the song and the message that the song portrayed to me. Christina Aguilera’s song titled “Beautiful”, to me, really portrays an uplifting and powerful message: You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down....oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today... I think that is a really important message for everyone to know. People in this world can be really cruel and hurtful, especially to younger people who may not fit the “perfect body” profile. Another song I love simply because of the lyrics is Mariah Carey’s “One Sweet Day”. I believe the song’s lyrics can be really helpful to someone during a time of loss: And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like so many friends we've lost along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day Another song that I really love just for the lyrics and the simple message that the song portrays is a song that never really got all that popular on the radio by Pink called True Love. It is...

...“If you kiddies didn’t rave in the 90s, you don’t even know what a real rave is. You raved in the 90s? Aren’t you a little old to still be in the scene now? EDM has no age limit guys, as long as you don’t listen to sellouts like Avicii. Avicii is really good. You only like him because you’re on massive amounts of drugs. Don’t judge someone who takes drugs. Yeah, judge the half naked girls instead. You only go to raves as an excuse to dress like a slut. Bros don’t belong here. Teenagers don’t belong here. Adults don’t belong here. Sluts don’t belong here. Your music taste sucks. Krewella sucks. Animals sucks. Ultra sucks. Trance sucks. EDM sucks." Look familiar? My guess is if you’ve visited the Internet any time in the past few months, it does. Yeah, the internet is a place full of trolls, where individuals are safe to hide behind this facade without repercussions. But these instances are only a few examples that speak to the larger issue at hand in our scene: PLUR is dead. Sure, PLUR is just a made up concept which never concretely existed, but I would argue that the values behind it used to be very much alive and practiced. Don’t get me wrong, the ideology of PLUR still exists for many generous, caring, respectful, and responsible people out there, but some of the most “PLUR” people I know even refuse to use that term because of what it has since turned into. In the grand scheme of this “scene", I am in no way an expert, nor can I speak for the “scene" outside of America...

...genre originated from South Korea. The pioneer of K-Pop is Seo Taeji and The Boys, which one of the member is the CEO of YG Entertainment, home of Big Bang and 2NE1 now. K-Pop was strongly criticized by a lot of people, including me. However it has been rising day by day and not only conquered the Asia music market but it is also globalized in the sense that there are K-Pop fans all over the world. According to my research, in year 2012, 68 K-Pop groups made their debut compared to 12 in year 2008. From hate to love, from critics to praise, how does this happened? I think everyone of you definitely has a friend who is a hardcore K-Pop fan. Most of you must have suffered a lot because they like to share their K-Pop information and ask you to watch funny videos very much. Thanks to them, you’ll slowly found out that you are starting to love K-Pop and soon you’ll become one of them. Seriously, some of you may wonder why people love K-Pop so much? The reasons are simple. First of all, the songs are really nice. There are three main components in a song, melody, choreography and visual. Catchy and repeated chorus is one of the reasons why K-Pop songs can be viral and popular. For example, “Wow, fantastic baby”, “because I’m shadow, shadow, shadow”, “bwara Mr. simple simple” or “I hate this love song, I hate this love song”. Once you listened to a song, it’ll keep spinning and spinning in your brain like a virus. And have anyone realize that there must be some English words in...

...bringing my talents to your organization. I am not your average student. I differ from the norm through my love for dancing, color guard, music, and makeup. Dance has been a passion of mine since I was young. As a child, I danced in my living room, as my mom played Spanish music. Sometimes I grabbed brooms or mops to dance with. I never cared how I looked because of my passion. I’ve always enjoyed dance as a way of self-expression through movement and music: two of my favorite things. Choreographing a routine is letting all the stress and negative vibes you have vanish. The music speaks to me as I create moves to fit the song. Currently, I am listening to classical music, picturing myself performing a lyrical routine. Loving dance and music is an amazing concept that attracted me to join Color Guard....
