Dongjiao Li Professor Glenn Walton English 4441 August 21st 2014 Scoring Joyce: The Role of Music in James’ Dubliners Walter Pater pointed out that “[a]ll arts constantly aspires towards the condition of music” (page number!) in his book The Renaissance. Indeed, music crosses the language barrier and truly conveys the emotion to the audience; it has a powerful appeal to people.

The most famous David sculptures come from the well-known and talented artists of Michelangelo and Bernini.

Developing a pneumatology, Pseudo-Justin envisions the Holy Spirit acting upon the prophets “as a harpist does on the strings of an instrument” (8). The transmission of divine truth through the prophets means that those coming after the prophets can learn the truth as it is mediated through their writings. Strecker acutely writes, for Pseudo-Justin, their

The Biblical Story of King David The first king of the Hebrews was Saul, and he was followed by the war hero and poet David (the greatest of the Hebrew kings). His son built the famous Temple showing the importance that religion played in the lives of the Hebrews. From the lineage of David, in fact, it was prophesied that the Redeemer would come. This paper will examine the Biblical story of David. As Steven McKenzie notes, the Old Testament contains several books "devoted to David," which include

He has received awards from the Minnesota Centennial Composition Contest, the American Society of Harpists and the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Needless to say Wayne Peterson has been very successful at composing music. One may ask when his fascination of music began and how he inspired today’s music. Wayne Peterson “was born in

He isn’t someone that people may have necessarily heard about or seen on the news, but he is just as important to music as any other famous musician. Blues and Jazz are what come to mind when at the sound of his name. One writer, Paul Oliver, states “Many younger urban blues musicians were influenced by his playing, and he had acquired a strong following in Europe long before he toured there in the 1960s.” Walter was
