The Song Ten Minutes Ago, Is From Rodgers And Hammerstein 's Cinderella

The piece that I decide to do was Mozart Symphony No. 40 because it seemed like it would have the most instruments, different dynamics and a different sound to it.

Often times readers desire for works that they can relate to on a personal level. With that in mind Billy Collins wrote a poem entitled, “On Turning Ten” discusses the hardships experienced from growing up. The poem is written from the perspective of a child who has turned ten years old and is looking back at their great life as a very young kid. The child sees the world in a different way and feels sad that he has grown up. Collins, through his poem, displays the emotional hardship of growing older and causes the reader to relate to the child as they remember their own experiences growing up.

“How Old Timofei Died With A Song” is a short story written by Rainer Maria Rilke in 1900. The story is narrated from a very interesting point of view. POV is the method of narration that determines the position, or angle or vision, from which the story is told. In this short story by Rilke, we have a story within a story. The point of view of the narrator shifts from one audience, the readers of the story, to another audience who is a character in the story, Ewald.

‘Swan Lake' was re-choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in1895, after initially being choreographed by Julius Reisinger in 1877. The musical score was composed by Pytor Tchaikovsky. ‘Swan Lake' was created towards the end of the romantic period, so the culture and style of romanticism was prominent, with glimpses of the beginning of the classical era. Because of this, it contains elements of both eras. Some of the romantic characteristics include the pursuit of the unattainable, romance, fantasy, focus on the female role, gas lighting and simple sets, pointe work, soft and feminine technique for females and the bell tutu. Some of the classical features include the length of the ballet, the classical tutu and more

Today, I am seeing “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella”, starring Brandy and Whitney Houston. I am viewing this in M.O.T Charter High School’s theater classroom. I am seeing this with my fellow theater classmates. Although I have seen this film before , I am very thrilled to hear Whitney Houston and Brandy sing “Impossible/It’s Possible”! The three elements I am discussing in this piece are costuming, set, and singing.

In the play, As You Like It written by William Shakespeare, as well as the short story “Let Me Promise You” by Morley Callaghan, both playwright, and author are trying to convey the idea of a strong emotional bond between certain characters. In Shakespeare’s play, we see how Celia and Rosalind, two cousins, have been inseparable ever since a young age and will do anything for one another. In Callaghan’s short story, Alice has strong feelings towards George, waits restlessly by the window, and despite their differences, she still tries to please him. The theme that these two works show is unconditional love. The playwright and author are trying to illustrate what one will do for another even though the situation and conditions might be though.

Walt Disney’s Cinderella is adapted from the original fairy tale written in 1697 by Charles Perrault. There are some key differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella and Charles Perrault’s Cinderella. In Charles Perrault’s tale, Cinderella’s father is not dead, but the father is controlled by the stepmother. Cinderella’s younger stepsister is much more polite than the older stepsister, who calls Cinderella Cinderwench. The king in Perrault’s tale hosts a two day Ball, which Cinderella attends with the help of the fairy godmother. During Cinderella’s preparation for the first night of the Ball, Cinderella helps the fairy godmother find a coachman when the fairy godmother could not find one. Cinderella’s glass slipper comes off on the second

Oklahoma! Is the first musical that was written by both Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers, or commonly known as the pair “Rodgers and Hammerstein”. Written in 1906 and produced in 1943 on Broadway; the pair wrote this musical revolving around the love stories of various people living in Oklahoma territory when there was a very firm grip on gender roles, especially the presence of male domination. Oklahoma! Supplies the audience with heavy acts of male domination in various dance numbers like “The Farmer and the Cowman” songs; such as “Poor Jud is Dea”, “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin” and even disputes between cowboys and farmers. Oklahoma’s patriotic love story seems as if it was made to be viewed by people as an act of recreation, but also for people who want to explore the time of frontier America where male dominance was heavily present.

“Well I’m going to see Prince tomorrow when I go to pick up the kids. Maybe I will have a talk with him then, but for now let’s just enjoy the rest of our night and our time together.” Cinderella said this as she

In Joyce Carol Oates’ “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” music becomes equivalent to the effect of a character. For example, music was in the background, at all time, and it was one of the only ways that Connie could escape from her life. The place where they listen to music is referred to as “the sacred building” (2) because of how music dramatically affects that generation. The function of music throughout this story is that it is used as a way to gain trust and understanding. Arnold Friend exploits Connie’s intimate connection to capture her inner conscience.

George Gershwin‘s opera Porgy and Bess is said to have been racist and outdated even in the time that it was written in 1935. There are many aspects of this work that are incorrect and prolong stereotypes about African Americans by depicting them as violent and religious. Gershwin classified this opera as a folk opera, a term which was offensive to African Americans. George Gershwin, arguably a great composer, composed an opera that is considered to be controversial due to its negative representation of African Americans. Porgy and Bess is a cultural artifact and when discussing it we bring up complex issues of race from the time it was written and even to this day in the United States.

Kate Chopin provides her reader with an enormous amount of information in just a few short pages through her short story, “The Story of an Hour.” The protagonist, Louise Mallard, realizes the many faults in romantic relationships and marriages in her epiphany. “Great care [is] taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death” (Chopin 168).

“Today was a fairytale”, is a 4:01 song written by Taylor Swift, and produced by Nathan Chapman used in the soundtrack for major motion picture Valentine’s Day. The song describes exactly the title, a young girl who felt like a princess when she went out with her prince charming on a magical date. The song describes a scenario in where she wore a pretty dress and he wore a dark grey t-shirt. She knew she loved him just by a simple glare, the way he kissed her, how he made her heart beat faster and cause time to slow down due to his presence.
