Saint Cecilia's Poem
Lastly, quotes by Cecilia weren’t the easiest to find. Although, I did find one that took an important role in her characterization. The quote is “Arise, soldiers of Christ, throw away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”- Saint Cecilia. I believe this quote had a lot of meaning on who she is as a person. In this case, I believe this is saying take away darkness and do nothing but have faith and believe. This stood out because it says throw away the works of darkness. It make me think of throwing away negativity and try and focus more on positivity. Overall, this is a great way to see the beliefs in one's mind through a few words.
To conclude, this saint has opened my eyes on the importance of music. With a clear mind of positivity

    Cecilia is thought to have been the daughter of a very wealthy Roman family. She was forced into marriage to a pagan named Valerian, and informed her husband of her vow of virginity to God as well as the angel protecting her. In response to his request of proof, she later told him to travel the third milestone on the Via Appia to be baptized by Pope Urbanus in order to gain the eyes to see the angel. When he returned to his wife, Valerian saw an angel by her side, which convinced her brothers to be baptized and devote their time to burying saints who were murdered by the prefect. Throughout her life, St. Cecilia continued her relationship with God by praying, preaching, and converting hundreds of people into Catholicism.…

    On October 19, 2013 I sought out to listen to some classical music for my review for class. It was a pleasure to have found the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra at the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Oviedo, FL, a part of St. Luke’s concert series of 2013-14 that has been held in the last nineteen years here in Oviedo, FL. This free event that’s held each year at St. Luke church holds about three hundred people in there sanctuary, everything in the décor speak to your imagination Lutheran church. It was very nice it reminded me of a small concert hall. The orchestra fill the whole area were the choir usually sit. Christopher Wilkins, he conductor along within a full orchestra and Rimma Bergeron–Langlois the violinist, who all played four great suites from the genius of Georges Bizet, the piece from L’Arlesienne, Carmen suite, and Carmen fantasies, and Symphony in C’ that took you back in time. This classical music from the romantic era was breath taking.…

    It was exposed that Beethoven, at an extremely young age, was forced to have to support his mother and two younger brothers due to his father’s constant drunkenness. Not even at the age of maturity yet, Beethoven was the assistant organist in the court chapel. A single year later, he advanced to become the harpsichordist in the court orchestra. A talented young man, Beethoven was privileged enough to perform for the infamous Mozart at the tender age of seventeen. Mozart too noticed that this young man was unusually gifted, commenting to his friends, “keep an eye n him- he will make a noise in the world some day”. And that, he surely did.…

    Minerva Jones Poem

    In the epitaph "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters I learned that she was looked at as a person with a "heavy body, cock-eye, and rolling walk" and that she was the village poetess. The people this poetess speaks about are as she refers to as "Yahoos of the street" these were the people who would hoot and jeer at her as she walked by because of her looks. She also says that someone named Butch Weldy captured her after a brutal hunt and that she "sank into death, growing numb from the feet up" she is now pregnant by Butch. This lets us know how the poet's view on small-town America because not only does that seem bad that in the epitaph the girl is "captured" she is thirsty for love and hungry for life which means she isn't loved nor does she…

    How have you been? Hope everything is will with you and your family. You and I haven’t had much time to speak these past few weeks, so I decided to write you this letter in order to update you on the current events that have occurred in my life recently. Two days ago, I attended a baroque sinfonia at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, directed by Adam Gilbert, director of the early music program. The program consisted of selections from The Fairy Queen, originally composed by Henry Purcell. The overall performing environment was quite outstanding. It was great that the performers were on an elevated stage, making it much easier to see and hear them. It’s always crucial to be able to make eye contact with the performers in order to establish a personal connection with them. The event was very well attended. All the seats were practically filled causing some of the audience to stand up because there was no room. Overall, the audience seemed to be educated and had a great deal of knowledge on the music that was being performed. Also, the musical program was well organized, being consisted of five acts. The program passed out to the audience consisted a libretto, a text of all the words and stage directions of a piece, which made it much more easier to understand what was occurring on stage at the moment. The instruments I encountered at this concert were the violin, viola, cello, violone, harpsichord, lute, theorbo, guitar, oboe, bassoon, trumpet and recorder. Fortunately, I had learned about most of these instruments and what they sound like in my music class, so I was able to identify which instrument was being played at a certain time.…
