Glass Doors Dimensional Space
1,220 wordsIt was the day of April 13, 2000. I woke up at exactly 12 oclock because my boyfriend was to pick me up at 1 like we planned the night before.

Duke Black Plague

Sings An Aria Starts Out In Duple Meter Rigoletto
795 wordsI attended the opera Rigoletto at the New York State Theater. Rigoletto was composed by Giuseppe Verdi and it was first performed in 1851, during the Romantic period. Act I of Rigoletto starts out in duple meter and sounds very dramatic, as if something dark and mysterious is going to happen. I think the dynamics play a role in this mood because of the constant changing from loud to soft. This act starts with an overture since the beginning is instrumental. All of a sudden, still in duple meter,...
