I chose to visit a park not far away from the city but in a forested area next to an artificial river. I specifically chose a small water fall and sat just next close to it and fully concentrated on my surroundings. After about ten minutes of silence and full concentration, my senses of smell and hearing were very much stimulated. I could for instance perceive the smell of river water not at all like the tap water, but a strange freshness that I had not expected. I initially thought water was the same everywhere and that it was without any scent.

Stevie Wonder's 1972 performance of Superstition is a classic illustration of “ABAB” song form. The “A” phrases are notated by an “aabb” rhyming pattern, while the “B” section, contains the same words each time it is sung and does not have a discernible rhyming pattern. The “B” section is followed by a brief musical interlude that is heavy on the horn section before dipping into the next chorus. The horns play a prominent role in the entire song, however, when Stevie Wonder sings the “B” section, the horns are less noticeable and Wonder's vocals are the forefront of the song.

Art is one of the most important elements of life and humanity – without it, we are unable to express our true feelings. Art is used to convey emotions and make statements; it can say anything from the personal to the political. To me, music is the genre of art I admire the most, especially as a medium for messages on the nature of art and war alike. Music, through its complex nature and its versatility, can often say many different things about the nature of art and war.
Music, as an art form, has the incredible potential for complexity – ...

The light began to creep through the curtains and tip toe on Elise’s face. She threw the duvet up over her head, and violently cocooned herself in her bed. In spite of her hopes to fall back to sleep, the sound of 80s music echoed in her mind. The door let out a creek as it slowly started to open. Elise slyly removed one eye from her nest of blankets to see who was sneaking into her room. A moment of silence followed. A voice rang out, “Thriller! Thriller night!” Michael Jackson blared from a radio in the hallway. Elise ...

I can feel the stage being set, as if something in the air awakens me to it. Among the ear-piercing drumming and shredding, the singer’s vocal cords fleeing from his throat screaming “NIGHTMARE,” the raven-black crowd starts backing away from one another as they create a semi-perfect circle. Everyone is stalking their prey across the circle as they wait for the chorus to start. Suddenly, I feel a sweaty grip pulling my left hand into the crowd away from the circle to the front rows. Startled, I tilt my head to see who is pulling me – it is ...

Recently, I have been to the concert of great American pianist Leon Fleisher with an orchestra at the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center. I do not remember the name of the conductor; however, I perfectly remembered the name of the pianist.
Apparently it is becoming a good tradition that Leon Fleisher performs with best orchestras of our time, since the music they played was just a miracle. For long I wanted to visit a concert of classical music, but did not have any chance until I bought a ticket for this orchestra`s performance. Unfortunately, I ...

It was Friday morning; the busy shoppers were doing their last-minute errands for Halloween. The store was bustling with chattering people, enthusiasm was in the air. It was cold and windy outside but the warmth inside the grocery store provided a relaxing heat for a comfortable browsing of candies that would soon go on sale as quickly as the occasion was over.
One family got their carts full for the day. It was a cheerful lot except for one tall and pale-faced girl wearing a smug expression on her face, her full attention on texting. She was a very ...

According to Shaw justice based on Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) misses the mark in terms of global justice (11). Her argument is that truth telling which is the critical part of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions is a product of a Western culture and memory and they barely helps in national healing (7). TRCs have been considered important for nation healing especially after dark episodes like the civil conflict in Sierra Leone. They also provided the theatre of post-Apartheid national healing in South Africa. Shaw denotes that truth and reconciliation commissions do not translate to immediate therapy for victims of violence. ...

Emory Junior chamber Orchestra review

The Emory Junior Chamber Orchestra came up with quite a brilliantly varied orchestral programme conducted with panache and style by the versatile Georgia Lambros Ekonomou. The first work on the programme was Franz Josef Haydn’s Symphony Nr 13 which is not usually often on concert programmes. The orchestra was delightful in its inflexions and its arrangement by Thomas Laloie was particularly ravishing with the players contributing to an excellent performance all round.
Next on the programme was another rare work, William Hofeldt’s ‘Lullaby’ which was composed in 1951. Yet again we had the orchestra players particularly the ...

Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is my favourite place in the whole world to vacation – it is my idea of paradise. I love its beach and the sound of the waves lapping against the shore; I love the shops and the restaurants; I love its humid heat too. Unlike other places, it is incredibly easy to get to as it has its own airport which is great because I hate being in a car for a long time to get anywhere. It has a large population of young people which means that there are lots of fun things to do too.
