Noe Garcia appeared as the Guitar Soloist. I was awestruck by the whole concert, as I got mesmerized by the first piece that he performed. The concert commenced with

Because the song is in keys that are kind the ears and provides harmonies and melodies that yield a rich yet calming sound, just the melody alone can withstand the test of time. The lyrics read like a simple love poem and love ballads hardly change throughout time. Listening to this during the 1960s and listening to it

major-minor tonality.” In this essay, harmonies will be analyzed using this framework. Poppea’s passages are accompanied by highly chromatic harmonies. They are free to follow the dramatic intentions of the composer without the restrictions of any diatonic scale. Take for example the passage from M34-37: it starts on an E major triad, moves to Bb6 major, and settles on C minor before coming to a cadence in D major.

Michael Jackson was reborn as the King of Pop, and Madonna would follow him in her own right. There was a lot of dancing

Instead, he chooses dramatic shifts in music material, unpredictable harmonies, and sudden changes in tempo and rhythm. The song starts with an unusually long piano introduction that lasted 8 measures, gives an idea of the large scale of this song.

Similar to architecture at this time, Bach’s music was extremely ornate with heavy embellishments and was somewhat characterised by its ornamentation yet still had a strict organisation of insistent rhythms. “Thus, music of the Baroque period is somewhat paradoxical in that, while it is extravagantly ornate and emotionally

It was the night of November 17, 2016; the concert was to be held in the concert room of the Palmetto Center for the Arts, right across from the theater, where they were holding an acting workshop on the same night. The lights were fully illuminated and glistening on the multicolored floor. I arrived at about 6:30pm just in time to start my shift as a volunteer usher. The work was relatively easy; I stood about 10 feet away from the door of the concert hall and reminded people I saw with any food
