Range Against The Machines Kurt Player Piano
1,010 wordsIn Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, Player Piano, he brings up quite a few interesting points. His portrayal of a United States that has become a slave to its own ingenuity is somewhat entertaining. What really got to me was the fact that its easy to imagine people acting the way they did. As a reader I can see myself making those very same mistakes, and being just as childish as the ghost shirts, as conniving as Shepherd, and as manipulative as Rev. Lasher. Maybe in our society these people would h...

571 wordsCharlie Parker at Storyville The set by Charlie Parker, at Storyville is a perfect example of bop or bebop. It fits almost all of the criteria we use to define bop.

These were all shown throughout this set. The compact disc I chose is actually a compilation of two different live sets 6 months apart...

Breath Support Sang Pure
317 wordsI recently attended a Christmas concert at St. Augustine's Church in Elkdridge. For the most part, the choir blended well together. Sometimes the sopranos could be heard more clearly because their section seemed to be the most powerful. The choir had very clean cutoffs, which made them seem very unified. They communicated the text pretty well. It was easy to sense the mood of the piece from the expression they put into it. However, their dynamics could have been better. They used some dynamics, ...

A peculiar thing about letters from this year is that there appears to be none written after August (Keys 210). One possible reason for this ...
