Rhapsody In Blue George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue is one of those timeless classics that is instantly recognizable to many people’s ears today‚ even ninety years after it was first introduced to the world. It is a piece that has found its way into contemporary movies and advertisements‚ making it likely as recognizable as Chopin’s Funeral March or Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. But unlike these two pieces of iconic classical music‚ Rhapsody in Blue “resists classification.”1 In it are elements

English Composition 2 15 May 2013 Literary Technique Poem Analysis The imagery in Langston Hughes’ poem “The Weary Blues” explains the theme of dejection and the relief that music can bring.

"The Weary Blues" and "Lenox Avenue: Midnight" by Langston Hughes are two poems written as scenes of urban life. Although these poems were written more than seventy years ago‚ it is surprising to see some general similarities they share with modern day city life. Dilluted down with word play and irrelevant lines such as "And the gods are laughing at us."‚ the underlying theme is evidently urban life.

Rotondi’s Dark Blue fits its title and album art; this album is organic and cool‚ almost as

Though his style is traditionally blues‚ each song performed‚ with the exception of “Love Me Tender”‚ had an upbeat vibe to it. He played a total of nine songs with almost all of them ending with the same melody that the Blues are known for. The acoustics of the venue‚ Nick’s Uptown‚ were pretty good. There was only a slight echo‚ but for the audience
