What started as a solitary leaf dancing in the wind quickly evolved‚ becoming a thunderous beast smashing against the entrance to the dank cellar I found myself in‚ deep in the rolling plains of Poland. The wind conveyed to me a sense of indignation‚ and at the same time‚ isolation. I could feel the wind stinging across my face‚ leaving me shivering and anxious. With a final‚ abrupt roar of the wind‚ I was ripped from my fictitious cellar‚ back into the closed confines of my room in Long Island.

The emphatic‚ stirring conclusion to The Firebird leaves the listener with the sense that a favorable event of great significance has occurred‚ or that a long-sought-for goal has been achieved. This effect is achieved mainly through Stravinsky’s peculiar choices of instrumentation and dynamic markings. As far as I could tell‚ Scene 2 was in a major key throughout‚ with no modulation to a minor tonality. Because major key music typically conveys positive emotions‚ the overall mood of the work is

It is fair to say that every piece of composition has a hidden significance behind it as well as a certain impact on the listeners. Alexander Nevsky’s fourth movement Arise‚ Ye Russian People‚ composed by the famous Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev‚ was a cantata (vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment) designed to fit the film directed by Sergei Eisenstein on the thirteenth-century Russian hero Alexander Nevsky. Although this movement is relatively short‚ but the music as a whole

Gustav Holst: The Planets The two movements I focus on in my analysis are the first movement: Mars‚ and the third movement‚ Mercury. Mars Mars is the first movement of the suite and it starts with a bang. A slow‚ ominous intro begins with the sound of snare drums being played in the background. Soon the horns greet the drums‚ creating an immediate feeling of danger within the first movement. The powerful tones by the strings section set for a very dramatic‚ almost inhuman feel‚ to the movement

The answer to French Impressionism was German Expressionism. “Where the French genius delighted in luminous impressions received from the outer world; the Germanic dug deep down into the hidden resources of the soul. In Vienna‚ where Sigmund Freud developed his theories of psychoanalysis‚ artists tried to capture for art the shadowy terrain of the unconscious. Expressionism set up inner experience as the only reality” (L48‚ 11:07). “At the turn of the twentieth century‚ Vienna was Paris’s only

Title: The Sound of Silence Which version of “the Sound of Silence” did you like the best-the poem‚ the old Simon and Garfunkel version‚ or the newer version by Disturbed? Why? I like the newer musical version redone by the group called Disturbed. Because the lyrics have a modern twist‚ and the words are very clear somewhat haunting. I did not get the feeling from the Simon and Garfunkel original version the words were not very clear. Disturbed’ s band was a full orchestra band which made the
