I wanted to rely more on the visuals rather than dialogue, to help the audience, musicians and non-musicians alike, to really step into the movie and feel and think what David was. What was in the dialogue had to be powerful enough to get the audience thinking and believing that music can be as Cecil Parkes, David’s college professor puts

I agree with Gregory Orr’s claim as I heavily rely on music to help regulate my mood on a daily basis. In fact, I listen to many genres of music and in different languages, including English, French, and Punjabi. Each genre of music brings its own sense of satisfaction. I listen to rap music by J. Cole or Drake when I am feeling tired because it cheers me up and the lyrics inspire me. In addition, I listen to Punjabi bhangra music when I have completed my daily activities or assignments because it

told myself as I got ready to play my first solo at a concert festival. At a concert festival your group performs three pieces all that vary in length and style. Three judges then give you a rating. For the past six years my life has revolved around music and playing trumpet. This particular night sticks out to me to this day, even though it was two years ago. I had been practicing like no other for my solo in Shenandoah, for it was my first chance to shine. For my luck my valves got stuck in the middle

Gabriel Faure’s Requiem includes seven movements – Introit et Kyrie, Offertoire, Sanctus, Pie Jesu, Agnus Dei, Libera me and In Paradisum. For this essay I will be focusing on the fourth movement of his Requiem, Op. 48, Pie Jesu (Blessed Jesus). He breaks the liturgical practice by positioning this text after the Sanctus rather than before the Offertory. Since there is no Benedictus, this prayer serves as a transition from Sanctus to Agnus Dei. Pie Jesu is the only movement with a soprano soloist

I have been involved with instrumental music for most of my life. I started with private piano lessons in second grade and when third grade came around I joined my elementary school band, picking up the trombone because to my third grade mind it looked easy.This was not the case, especially since my third grade arms couldn’t quite reach as far as they needed to. So after one school year and a marching band camp called the Orange County Lutheran Youth Band where third grade me valiantly marched while

Lots of people listen to music on the radio. A single radio. Sounds and noises coming from twelve different radios that often change channels and volume would lead the average person to think that they are standing in the audio section of an electronics store. It turns out that twelve radios can actually make music, at least according to John Cage: “When I wrote the Imaginary Landscape for twelve radios, it was not meant for the purpose of shock or as a joke…” Unfortunately, some people do take

Loud cheers, applauses, light shining in your face. Acting has been my life since I was a little girl, being on stage and performing has been my passion. As I got older and moved to the United States I started to drift away from acting, it was no longer the reason I want to go to school anymore.

I was acting as a little girl that
