There was only one song that was made up solely of percussion instruments. This song, called Bonham, reminded me of the classic sound of war drums. Since we had recently been reading The

    masterpiece? First off, his first musical masterpiece is Romeo and Juliet. Luckily enough, the text in chapter six flourishes with substantial information about the overture and its structure.

    March 3, 2017 6:30, I woke up with the bright sun hitting my face. Sweat was already trickling down my face. The sun was ready for a brand new fresh day, I wasn’t. I knew today was the day which I strove for so long, the day I get to go to Knott's Berry Farm with my “Band Mates” as I called them. Packed my backpack all up with all sorts of snacks, Skittles, Pringles, Tangy fruit cups which I've always adored for some reason, Sour Patch Kids, and the list goes on. I’m not a glutton, I’ll be the first

    though it was still an amazing piece to listen to. In the second piece, William Tell Overture, again, the runs of notes were not completely rock solid, and sometimes the cellos were not completely together. Also, the orchestra needed to be a little bit more together with the band because it was just slightly off at times. Still, this piece was amazing and was a beauty of a piece. In the third piece, The Cowboys Overture, there were a couple intonation problems here and there, especially on the higher

    straying from orthodox Christianity in order to conform to the structure of tragedy. In a traditional tragic play, as pioneered by the Greeks and imitated by William Shakespeare, a hero is brought low by an error or series of errors and realizes his or her mistake only when it is too late.

But though
