"Piano and Drums" is a poem that accurately explores the trying conflict of merging a traditional culture with a new‚ modern civilisation. The author Gabriel Okara‚ who also doubles as the narrator in the poem‚ responds to the drums as his tribal heritage and the simplicity of youth‚ while he sees the piano as the foreign customs irrelevant to the black society‚ with the complexity of experience. Throughout "Piano and Drums"‚ Okara’s choice of diction is used to show his response to the two kinds

Within sixty years of the opera’s appearance‚ new concepts developed such as the aria‚ which similarly to a theatrical soliloquy‚ real time stops. “In an aria‚ the librettist provides words that pause and reflect and the composer creates music that interprets and deepens the emotions behind those words” (L12‚ 8:12). About “the year 1660‚ the aria had joined recitative as one of the two essential aspects of operatic dramaturgy” (L12‚ 30:21). “Unlike recitative in which the words carry the expressive

Throughout the years of piano and cello practice‚ I never truly appreciated the musical style of the Romantic period. The dissonance created by contrasting melodies and key changes starkly contrasted the lyrical and cheerful melodies of the Baroque and Classical period.

This semester‚ Exploring Music caused me to explore new methods of musical thought

‘The poems ‘Remember’‚ ‘Piano’ and ‘Poem at Thirty-nine’ all explore melancholy emotions.’ How far do you agree with this statement? ‘Poem at Thirty-nine’ and ‘Piano’ explore melancholy emotions while ‘Remember’ does not in my opinion. The reasons I do no completely agree is because the three poems all have hidden feelings and meanings. ‘Poem at Thirty-nine’ shows melancholy emotions because it presents the loss of the persona’s father and ‘Piano’ portrays how D.H. Lawrence misses his childhood

On October 24th at 7:30 in Williams gym‚ Gregory Tompkins and Ellen Brewer performed several piano and violin pieces. I really enjoyed the dynamic aspects of each piece. They all told an individual story that resonated with the audience even after its conclusion. As I listened to the performance‚ I was reminded of various different historical contexts. The musicians’ playing technique along with the unique structure of each composition contributed to their dynamism. The first piece was a violin solo
