My Trip To Woodstock
Words: 1005 - Pages: 4.... When we reached our campsite, the one we had shown up a day early to claim, we realized that city kids do not know much about setting up a tent. Without even asking the boys behind us set up our tent, asking right away if we were, "from the city". Within moments, we were talking like old friends, sharing horror stories about the drive up, complaining about the heat and anticipating the next few days.
Random acts of kindness surrounded us for the whole weekend. I saw a boy climb through the mud to get someone he had just met a bottle of water. As the sun went down, a man gave a woman his sweatshirt so she would not be cold- again, t .....

Sweeney Todd
Words: 311 - Pages: 2.... a sailor and he wears a Victorian Naval uniform.
The sets are fairly elaborate. Sweeney's barber shop is above the
bakery. His barber chair flips back to send the dead bodies of his victims
downstairs so Mrs. Lovett can prepare them for the pies.
My favorite song is the title song, "The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street". It tells the story of Sweeney Todd.
Although what Sweeney Todd does is wrong, I did feel sorry for him.
He had lost his family and lost his mind also. Mrs. Lovett helped him for
two reasons. She needed the money and she fell in love with him.
I first saw this musical when I was very young. It is still one of
my favorit .....

furore it was easy to miss the fact that Charly was one of the most
successful dance records of the time, and far better than any of the
opportunist tunes that came in it's wake. Twenty-two year old Liam Howlett
is the musical force behind the Prodigy sound, although there are three
other members who contribute to the live performance - Maxim Reality,
Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint Liam was once the DJ for the London rap
act Cut To Kill, but he became disillusioned with the rap scence's
aggressive attitude after experiencing the 'Love, Peace and Happiness' that

Adam De La Halle And Ars Antiqua Time Period
Words: 554 - Pages: 3.... harmony. Much of the medieval music was monophonic. If the
music is homophonic then there is only one melody line, but it may be played by
two or more instruments. Many of the songs that were originally monophonic were
easily transformed into homophonic by add extra voices or instruments.
Polyphonic is the type of music we hear today. Polyphonic is when there is a
melody line accompanied by harmony. A considerable amount of Adam de la Halle's

The Blues
Words: 1362 - Pages: 5.... Blues are probable because of their African origins.
To add to the musical form used to create , musicians innovated three main practices that all have origins in West African musical traditions.

The most common way of creating this beat was by separating the melodic line from the groundbeat, putting the two in rhythmic conflict.

The Misconception Of Classical Music
Words: 508 - Pages: 2.... be fifteen to forty-five minutes long! Today, songs are mostly three to four minutes. They are short and to the point. In many aspects, this “classical music” would take some time to get used to.
My Music Appreciation class gave me knowledge I needed to understand music that I was not already familiar with.

The next couple of weeks later we listened to music so could utilize the terms we learned. Works like harmony, melody, key, pitch, and chords became more outstanding to me. Next, we started study .....

be the stars until B .....
