Choir Chaos Poem
Choir Chaos “Sit down!” exclaimed Mr. T, the room was silent. It all happened when the Select Choir kids entered the room. We just finished Music In The Water and kids just started having conversations with one another. Mr. T tried to get them to settle down, but they just kept talking. I could not take the yelling. The sub did this weird ,creepy laugh and everyone was quiet, for about 3 seconds. Next he banged on the piano. Finally he had enough, Mr. T bellowed so loud I thought I would go deaf. I learned from that experience that you should stand up for yourself. We got zero work done and we had a concert that night. Mr. T lost it, he started yelling and he exploded. When he was done everyone was quiet, nobody made a single sound

    Poetry Explication

    “Slaveship,” by Lucille Clifton, is a free verse poem from the perspective of slaves that the white men capture and trade in the slave trade, forcing them to travel on the Middle Passage. Ironically, the ships bear the names of religious symbols and figures such as Jesus, Angel of God, and Grace of God (lines 14-15) even though the act of slavery is one of the most sinful systems in the eyes of these slaves and in the eyes of all decent human beings.…

    Evil Everywhere: Poem Analysis

    With all of the violence in the past, and now the most recent shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, society is more scared than ever. Dylann Roof, proven to be a white supremacist, walked into a church in Charleston, South Carolina and killed innocent people. This incident hit home for so many Americans because not only did the innocent people die, but it was in one of the safest places imaginable, a church (Tauber, Michelle). Many believe that weapons are to blame for this, and others believe that racism is the main focal point. This is not the first of violent crimes in a local church. A poem was written by Dudley Randall about a true story that happened in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. A group of white supremacists bombed a church that belonged to Martin Luther King Jr. What they did not know was that there were four little girls playing in there at the time. The church should be a safe, quiet place one can pray to God, but these incidents indicate that violence is creeping into the most innocent of…

    Chaos in Fourteen Lines

    The poem "I will put Chaos into fourteen lines" by Edna St. Vincent Millay has to do with Chaos's epic struggle to free itself from the bondage of the prison of fourteen lines and its ultimate defeat to Order. However, upon closer inspection, the poem appears to be an ars poetica that describes the process of writing fixed form poetry and all the trials that come with expressing poetry in words.…

    George Leslie Mackay's Life

    The next day Mackay tried to get close to these kids again but they all ran away. It wasn't until the third day when Mackay finally had the chance to say something. He tried hard to pronounce the word accurately. The kids were astonished: “He can speak our tongue!” They were pleased that “Foreigner” could actually speak their language. Mackay took this opportunity and pulled out a pocket watch for them to look at. They huddled up around him and touched his hand, button and clothes with curiosity; since then they and Mackay became friends. Mackay came every day, played and talked with them for 5, 6 hours a day. He jotted down all the new vocabulary he heard. His vocabulary improved so quickly that it amazed his own servant. Several of these kids became Christians, and one of them became a…

    Personal Narrative: My Team In Elementary School

    I did not remember how the conversation between teachers and parents stopped. The scene I still remember now is that we got out of the office silently, and every student walked with parents away in different directions. I did not know what would happen to them, but this was what happened to me. My parents and I got into the car and had remained silence for about five minutes. The time passed slowly, like as the time and air around me were freezing. Finally, the silence was broken at a waiting for a red…

    Choir Critique

    To make up for the holiday concert I missed, I went to church on Sunday, Jan. 20 to critique the choir there. It was at Life Center in Tacoma, with the choir being made up of about 20 people; there were equal amounts of men and women singing. The service started at 10:30 a.m., with the first song, (which was more of a hymn) Bless the Lord Oh my Soul contemporarily sung by Matt Redman. The songs which were sung that day did have contemporary versions, but were sung usually acapella or with only a piano. There was one instance where the audience was expected to sing with the choir, too. What I noticed from the choir during this first song was that every single person was singing with pure emotion, naturally swaying with the beat of the song throughout. I could completely tell that they felt the rhythm of the song because they kept the tempo at a steady pace, but filled their voices with energy. The next song was The Only One being sung by a man named Anson Dawkins, who was the soloist. This song wasn’t considered as classical choral material, but Anson did an excellent job at keeping the same tone quality through the different ranges of the song; when the notes were starting to get a little high for his range, he didn’t force the notes out, but instead let them naturally flow through. Next, the choir sang We Wait by Don Moen, with Matt leading the song with the piano. When the choir broke into the five part harmony, however, the men were overpowering the women and could’ve listened better to improve their intonation. In other words, they were really sticking out among the other parts. Another song was Nothing but the Blood, also a hymn. In this song, the choir blended so well because everyone’s vowels matched. It made it easier to understand the text, too, because of that. One imperfection I heard was that at the end, everyone finished their note at different spots, making the ending sound a little sloppy.…

    Song of Songs: An Allegory

    The question asked is if there are any problems with incorporating this book into the Bible. Ultimately to answer this question is not possible as the answer would be more a matter of opinion versus any actual fact. Religion, from my personal point of view, is that it is an individual’s opinion as to what their faith is. If religion or faith for that matter is an individual’s opinion then interpreting the Song of Songs and whether or not there are problems with incorporating it into the Bible is a question that would have many answers or viewpoints. I will attempt to provide my viewpoint to answer the question.…

    Song as Poetry

    I chose the song “Started from the bottom” by Drake as an example of poetic language in song. In the lyrics there is a reoccurring theme of how Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) is implying how he came up with nothing, but now is living the dream. Being a young successful, rich, and popular young artist. The theme of the song is if you work hard for your dreams they will come true. Drake mentions in several lines about the late nights he would work as a teen and then focus on his music after. He experienced much doubt in the people around him and was told he couldn’t make it as a rapper. The hook at the end of the song he pretty much tells the fake friends that want to be apart of his life now that is famous to screw off, and he only associates with the crew that stuck by his side even when he wasn’t big.…

    Choir review

    Music has been a part of my life since as far back as I can remember, it is something that I truly enjoye and find to be very therapeatic. I have always had a love for music , going back to the days of elemantary school when I had been in music class , I always knew that music would be womething that was in my blood. Actually I am from Mongolia which is so different country compare to America . I always wanted to join singing club or choir. But i have not gotten a chance to join such a thing because of my religion. Basically , It was my first time , I had opportunity to show Choral Concert which was held on the October 9 , on the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Everyone who was in attendance was dress up so nice and they were singing from heart. I enjoyed listening to the our friends as they sung the different melodies. As i was sitting there listening to the singers sing , i think about how strong there voices are and how strong they must be to get over the big space of the performance center.…

    Chanting And OAM: My Poem: Chanting And Spam

    The best kind of sitting meditation for me is chanting. I experienced it for the first time in the temple in Japan where the mornings started with listening to the monk chanting for half an hour, and I just went into nothingness and got so relaxed.

After a little while I began to practice chanting too both using OAM and chanting the heart sutra. I did not get good enough to get the full effect from the heart sutra but the OAM is one of my favourites. I learned to do the OAM the traditional way, where you do it in your own pace, and you deliberate start the sound in the lower belly and then move it up all the way to the head and using the belly muscles to create the sound which gives a very beautiful, unstrained sound. In addition,…
