     The play included all types of dancing, including Jazz, Ballet, Modern, Tap, and Lyrical. Most of the dancing, however, was a form of Jazz. At one point in the play a group of bugs perform a tap dance. This scene was comical, but the tapping was outstanding. Most of the actors are accomplished singers, actors, and dancers with a lot of previous experience. Many of them have attended performing art schools and not only rehearse their main role, but also understudy 2 to 3 other characters. The actors are all well practiced, which is evident in the quality of the show.

There was not a set rhythm or really a set tempo in the first song with the exception of the melody being sang by to the second singer and the audience. The singers’ loudness remained the same for the duration of the performance, which is understandable since the songs would have normally been sung while on a ship. They would have to sing at a dynamic of forte. The tempo was hard to find in “Pull Away” and “Fine Time O Day” since the beat sounded off. The whole performance’s texture was polyphonic. However, the audience did unintentionally harmonize with the singers, especially during the melody of “Pull Away”. Although the style of the performance was a shanty, “Hell of A Wedding” sounded close to a African tribal song. Like the “Rowing Shanties”, the songs from the Gandy Dancers were also in a way tradition.Their tools used for maintaining the railroad were there only instrumentation The style and rhythm is very similar to the African American folk songs that were sung when they were slaves and the style sung during the video seems to have kept with the tradition. The tonal color of the Gandy Dancers’ voices had a slight harshness to it, but mainly has a feel of oldness or wailing, if that makes sense. The texture closely resembles monophonic and it is the same theme throughout the songs that were sung. The songs were double meter, and the dynamics would be somewhere in between

The first song played from the Orchestra was Infernal Dance. The whole orchestra plays a loud chord to show the intensity of the piece. The rhythm of this movement is syncopation due to the rhythm not being on the beat. This makes the strong beat weak, thus giving a chilling ambience. Infernal Dance then transitions to the soothing movement Berceuse. Berceuse is a lullaby played by the bassoon. The Orchestra concludes the concert with Finale. Finale is the finishing piece of The Firebird and uses one french horn for the melody in a dynamic of piano. The whole orchestra soon joins in creating a hymn like choral. Instead of ending with a grand note, the brass takes the melody at a faster pace developing a celebratory ending. With its uneven rhythmic and extravagant arrangement this Suite fashions a spellbinding

Dancers were dressed in khaki green costumes designed by Bradon McDonald, as well as their outfits, lighting and foundation featuring the same shading all throughout the entire show. Nonetheless, the lighting changes to darker and lighter shades in view of the music by a classical violin of Ludwig van Beethoven. Such sorrow sentiments lead to the streams movement of the body as dancers collaborate with ballet steps, grabbing or crawling to one another, meanwhile, the playful violin sounds move into more enthusiastic as dancers tapping and jumping on the floor triumphantly. This particular dance was unusual, subsequently, finishing up with the same move at the very beginning of the

Rooster Teeth Productions, LLC. is a production company based in Austin, Texas. It was officially established April 1st, 2003; although, the company made video production content, such as parodies and short movies, before then. The history of Rooster Teeth starts at the University of Texas in the mid-1990s. Three friends, Michael “Burnie” Burns, Matt Hullum, and Joel Heyman were friends who attended the university in Austin. They were not the best students, and they were worried the high-paying technology jobs, that were growing increasingly popular at the time, were out of their reach. So, as an attempt to get themselves noticed in the industry, they decided to make a short film together. The film was called “The Schedule;” Burns and Hullum directed it while Heyman played the lead role. The three of them brought their film to several festivals, and they received some minor recognition. In fact, it prompted Heyman to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting, and Hullum decided to “follow his heart (i.e. Joel)” (roosterteeth.com) and decided to move there as well to work in visual effects. Burns stayed in Austin, where he started working at a tech support center, and where he eventually became Director of Operations.

The piece is 138 bpm which is more than double ‘Solomon’ and goes for 5 minutes and 57 seconds which is just less than double Hans Zimmer’s piece. The piece consists of long, strung together, strings notes and a more movement filled piano section. The female vocals of Mary J Blige come in at 1 minute and 10 seconds with a long melody, harmony voices also join in occasionally like at 1 minute 40 seconds. The vocal range stays similar throughout with vocal runs on the last words of most of the phrases. This song much like Hans Zimmer’s ‘Solomon’ follows the storyline with the whole message of the movie being to overcome adversity and that is also what this song is
