What is the dominant element of the music you generally listen to? For me, I would have to say that the lyrics are the most dominant element of music.

Even though the beat itself with the piano makes this a strong song, it is the lyrics that brings it together. One could argue that the rhythm or melody is the dominant element of

The early period works were influenced by Haydn and Mozart. The middle period is when he developed his own individualistic style of music and it was also described as heroic because he produced pieces like the Third symphony and the opera Fidelio.

For my first arts experience I chose to attend the Marian University Department of Music Faculty Recital. This production took place on January 24th at 4 pm in the Bishop Chartrand Chapel in Marian Hall. There were 6 performers with the help of Maureen Walton as the accompanist.

This piece was one of his

Gossett suggests that it is hard to know from the editions currently available which revisions were made by Puccini and which were made without his participation, or even after his

Guido d’Arezzo is credited for inventing modern musical notation (Ure). Up until the 9th century, musical notes were represented by “neumes” and the version of the staff they had only provided an approximation of what pitch the musicians should play. It is thought that the reason why this is is because music was traditionally passed down orally, and so the written music was only needed as a reminder while the musicians learned by actually hearing the music using rote rehersal. After the 9th century

On September 8th, 2016 at 7:30 PM, a concert was held at Chabot College, Buffington Theater.
