    It holds such power over captives and captors alike that they cannot help but feel enamoured to the life it brings. Cesar especially feels the beauty of music “Oh, how he loved to hear the words in his mouth… It didn't matter that he didn't understand the language, he knew what it meant. The words and music fused together and became a part of him” and through music, he discovers his latent talent for singing (224). Based only on Roxanne’s previous arias, Cesar’s potential is outstandingly bright when he sings for the first time without any training whatsoever. Not only do the others learn to appreciate his gift, but Roxanne herself recognizes how promising he is or she would not have bothered to waste her time tutoring him. Beforehand, Cesar is nothing remarkable, just another one of the terrorists who detains them, but the opera transforms him into a separate person. Like the mansion enveloped in the garua, Cesar is heavily shrouded by serious self-esteem issues and fear, but after his breakthrough, his worries suddenly disappear and his life becomes a reservoir of joy.

    Julie Andrews performance in The Sound of Music was anything but ordinary. Andrew’s role as Maria secured her tittle as one of the greatest actresses of her time, though The Sound of Music was only her second onscreen performance.

    In my opinion, Shrek The Musical was a great play that brought the childhood fairytale story of Shrek to life on stage. The costumes, props, and backgrounds on the set were well made and it was obvious that much time and effort were put into the play.

  • Aesthetics Of Music Analysis

    Form gives organization to sounds. It refers to the overall structure or plan of a piece of music. It is with the patterns, motifs, and cadences contained within form that help make music enjoyable to listen to. In Roger Scruton’s “Aesthetics of Music” Scruton states in Ch. 10 that form relies on two concepts, deep structure or linear and hierarchal order. Deep structure is the concept that most organized sounds have an underlying form. Deep Structure exists within language particularly in the study of syntax. In language deep structure is a theoretical concept that unifies other structures. An example of this would be how the sentences “Max loves Sara” and “Sara is loved by Max” mean the same thing and use similar wording.
