John Cage (1912-1992) was an American composer whose most famous work is actually not music at all. The piece is called, 4’33”, otherwise known as “The Silent Piece”, is just that, four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Since I didn’t know what to expect, I thought the sound on my computer was broken!!! I waited and waited for him to begin, then, just like that, it was over.

Singing in many different choirs, I have done several pieces by a composer named Eric Whitacre. His music is controversial among musicians due to its unorthodox nature. It ventures far from

Does the genre of the music affect the mood of the person(s) listening to it (New York, New York - Frank Sinatra, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance, and The Hills - The Weeknd)? I chose this experiment because everyone (or just my family) says rock makes you demonic, pop makes you happy, etc. and I knew that’s not the case. So, I decided to test it on an eighteen year old that happens to be my sister. My independent variable is the genre of the music that she

If they had expected such a headline to come so soon, one can assume that people would have prepared for it, or at least have been cautious of the consequences. However, President Herbert Hoover, was as optimistic about the future, too; in his Inaugural Address

It was January 7th, 2017, the weather alert had been right, there was a pretty darn big snowstorm outside, but inside, of the Boston Latin School auditorium, the 10th Annual MMEA Eastern Senior District Festival were filled with excited spirits that were much bigger.

that the author presents in his discussion serve as bridge between the literary criticism their musical embodiment. It also highlights the manner in which issues surrounding gender were discussed which, as seen with previous examples (Crawford and Copland), shares much of the same language when addressing issues around race and ethnicity. Also, when looking at the dichotomies inherent in the representations of John and Salome (Christian v.s. Hebrew, tonal v.s. atonal, male v.s. female), the emerging
