underwent, the flute has held a unique responsibility to their culture. Dislocation, diffusion, and acculturation forced its use to be confined to particular aspects and events of their culture; consequently, numerous cultural qualities disappeared, among them flute-lore - the “traditional beliefs, legends, customs, ceremonies, and music centered around the flute”. In many instances among the American Indian cultures the flute possesses esoteric or supernatural powers; thus, both flute making as well

While traveling, the father carved a flute for the boy, but the beautiful music from the flute does not play for long. "What happened to your flute? I threw it away. You threw it away? Yes" (McCarthy 159). This startling decision that the boy made shows that he has gotten over the flute, which represents his innocence. His innocence has been lost because has seen people eat infants, walked past charred skeletons

The artist of The Enchanted Flute, Josephine Wall, grew up knowing she wanted to be an artist. From the moment she picked up her first box of crayons, she knew where she belonged in the world. Eventually, after painting many other paintings, she created a masterpiece called The Enchanted Flute. The Enchanted Flute depicts dreams, reality, and the creation of everything in one painting, making us pause to question what is real and what is a dream. Josephine Wall has always loved bright and expressive

different experiences. Before taking this course, I have never watched a live opera in person. When I went to New York City during the spring break, I watched Prince Igor in the Metropolitan Opera House. And at the end of March, I watched The Magic Flute produced by the Music School of UM in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. It is apparent that the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre is not as magnificent as the Metropolitan Opera House in regard to construction. However, when it comes to listening experience,

“I want to start a flute choir!” Those words were the start of a new mission for me, an exciting journey to success, even though I hadn’t really thought through the process. When I transitioned to full-time PSEO during my junior year in high school, I had to drop band to make room for more classes in college. I missed the relationship I had with my fellow musicians, playing Disney songs for the elementary school children to inspire them to join band, and simply making music with friends. As a musician

The play features a play-within-a-play that has an eccentric acting troupe playing the parts. Together, they hope to perform “‘The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe,’” (1.1.10-11). Of all the characters in the play and movie, Francis Flute, a member of the acting troupe, is the most rounded character because

the Night are found in the story Lulu, oder der Zauberflöte (Lulu, or the Magic Flute) by Jakob August Liebeskind, published in a collection of fairy tales called Dschinnistan. In Lulu, a youth finds himself in the kingdom of a fairy queen, known as the ‘radiant fairy’. Like the Queen of the Night, this fairy queen asks the youth to rescue her daughter, whom has been captured by an evil sorcerer, and is given a magic flute to aid him (Spaethling 1975, pp. 48 -49).

exist in the literary universe, there are some works that manage to teach important lessons in an innovative and engaging manner. One outstanding example of this is none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s final opera, Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), paired with a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. Interestingly enough, Mozart both composed and premiered this opera in 1791, twenty years after he visited the Temple of Isis, which gave him inspiration for a few scenes incorporated into the
