    Nikki Giovanni was an African American poet, author, professor, and civil rights activist. She has won over 62 awards for her poetry, books, records, tapes, and CDs including seven NAACP image awards, the Langston Hughes award, and the Gwendolyn Brooks award (Giovanni, “Awards and Honors”). Nikki Giovanni was born on June 7, 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee, but was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio (Aybar, “Nikki Giovanni”). She would often visit her grandparents, who lived in Knoxville, and they influenced her work greatly by teaching her from a young age to fight injustice (Aybar, “Nikki Giovanni”). Although the majority of Giovanni’s works were written with a militant tone, “Winter Poem” uses nature to express the same ideas she writes about in her other works.…

    The first piece was Intègrales by Edgard Varèse (1883-1965). Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse was a French-born composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States. He was innovator in 20th-century techniques of sound production. According to the www.allmusic.com, his concept of "organized sound" led to many experiments in form and texture. He was constantly on the lookout for new sound sources, and was one of the first to extensively explore percussion, electronics, and taped sounds. Intègrales was composed in 1925. I think this piece is very modern, and is a work for wind, brass, and percussion. I am not really enjoying this piece because it is a little noisy for me. The second piece is Coptic Light, and the composer…

He is a music teacher at the elementary school, a chorus teacher at the middle school, and the music director for the high school drama program. Not only does he do this, but he also works outside of the school playing trombone for other musicals. He is fairly well known within the music community because of this.…

    The wooded area surrounding the park has a mystifying feel with the sun setting and the strange odor of a dank basement coming from its small pond. The air feels sticky and warm this time of the year and the trees blocking the breeze makes it even more muggy than usual. The open and empty field gives me a feeling of isolation and the darkening skies has an ominous look. I can hear the shrieking muffled sounds of animals nearby, but without being able to see what’s beyond the blurry tree line, it’s hard to know if what I’m hearing is wild and aggressive or tame and timid. I can taste the musty fall air on my tongue as the breeze…

    How is it justified in anyway that we all spend money on luxury goods for ourselves at the cost of other lives? If we can prevent something bad from happening at a comparatively small cost to ourselves, we should indeed do so and do have a responsibility on situations like this. Singer states that we ought to prevent death and suffering from lack of food, shelter and medical care. As many may think that they have nothing to do with this, they clearly do. Many individuals would rather spend money on a shirt that they do not need while there are many who are dying of hunger at a speeding rate. How do these things go unnoticed? In this society today, most feel as if they have to keep up to “fit in”, by doing so, they think they should make every purchase that they see…

    Music rings out from the center stage and bounces around the auditorium elegantly as if it were a metaphysical dancer. The symphonic grace entices all of those who are in range to hear it which is why Rod Hoffman sits in the second row of the middle aisle three seats deep from the left side of the orchestra. Completely submerged in the melody he is enveloped by a sort of transcending feeling. Words are rarely able to describe the joy that he feels by attending the concerts of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. It takes him many weeks to find a means to culminate all of his emotions that he felt from the performance into a review that can properly display not only his reaction but still give an oversight that convinces others to give the orchestra…
