lived in the same time period, and were effected by the same historical events. Britain was knee deep in a world war for most of their adult lives. The war is known to have inspired some of Brooke’s most well known poems, but Spring Sorrow was neither mans most popular work. John Ireland is mostly known for his piano compositions, and this shows through in his composition of Spring Sorrow. The melody is somewhat simple and flowing, along with the rhythm. This sweet tune is made some what sour through

The play, The Music Man, was a well-preformed play. At the beginning of the play there was a scene where all of the salesmen were on a train. The first use of language in this musical is when the conductor made his first appearance onto the stage. When he began to speak he started speaking the words came out at an exceedingly fast rate fast and began using words not everyone could understand. This would be the example that Professor Kenworthy used in class with the toy car salesmen commercial. His

AUDIO Well, its that time of year again. Mr. Treble (Treah-Bull) the music teacher needs to figure out which musical he and his students are going to perform in the Spring! There are so many popular musicals out there, how is he ever going to figure out which one to use? He thinks about all the popular musicals that he has seen and heard about. There’s “The Music Man,” “Singing in and Rain,” “Les (Lay) Mis (Miz), ” and “Sweeny Todd.” No, none of them will work. Mr. Treble wants something classic

strong links between themselves. I felt West Side Story is about many such as rage and power, belonging and frustration; but most of all it’s about the scourge of prejudice, and its implications for love. West Side Story’s dark theme, sophisticated music, electrifying integrated dance, and no-holds-barred reflection of social problems marked a turning point in American theater. The musical style combines symphonic and jazz styles and Bernstein has focussed on dissonant, chromatic and syncopated elements

I attended the Concert “The Music Man” on January 22 2016 8:00-9:00 at Porter High School. This type of Concert was both Vocal and Instrumental.

whirl of thoughts and emotions flowed through my head, but I pushed everything aside except for my lines. The lights came up, and with the rhythm in my ears, I spoke clearly and annunciated every syllable. The show had started! Our show was The Music Man, and it was the first full-length show I was ever in. I had gotten into theater through short versions of plays like Peter Pan in drama camp, and truthfully, I thought those were the hardest plays I'd ever do. I didn't think I was good enough to

After school today I auditioned for the play the Music Man. In order to audition you must prepare a song and memorize a set of lines the teachers give you beforehand. Even though I am well prepared, I am still nervous. My hands are trembling and my body is heating up. I paced outside the auditorium doors and rehearsed my lines over and over again. The auditorium doors open and it was my turn to audition. I walked in slowly and see the teachers and the student director sitting in the audience. I

Leonard Bernstein was a Renaissance man of music: he “[conducted], [recorded], [played] piano . . . and [composed] several first-rate Broadway musicals that produced a number of pop hits” (Peyser 32). Through his achievements and works from varying aspects of the music field, Bernstein, the American musician, not only demonstrated that genius had no limits, but also fundamentally altered the future of musicals, conducting, and classical music. Bernstein composed the music for the musical West Side Story

mood. In a way that is what happened in Invisible Man. Music has been a major influence in people's lives for a long time, and the narrator in Ralph Ellison's novel, Invisible Man, is no exception. During the Harlem Renaissance black culture was expanded and a new cultural identity was seen in African Americans music, literacy and intellect in the nineteen hundreds. The Harlem Renaissance is a main event in the 1947 Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man. This novel outlines a young African Americans life

Man of Sorrows will is one of the most powerful worship songs that I have yet to experience for several reasons. Man of Sorrows lyrically demonstrates the power of the gospel. First of all, we will analyze one of the most important parts of a worship song, the lyrics. One of the main strengths of this song is that it combines concepts of both the old and the new. It does so by telling the story of the gospel, which is by no means a new story. It also brings a traditional element in the phrasing of
