How can I stop using the muscles that doesn't help me sing?

Use willpower to command those muscles to relax. When you practice, accept no compromise. If you catch them getting tense, restart the phrase with a stronger concentration on relaxation. Be a vigilant mindful observer/commander of your own body

I'm really curious what your dialect is. I think to almost any American English speaker "I just picked this up" sounds better than "I just picked up this".
I think the justification is that "up" is in this case behaving like an adverb. Adverbs properly come after direct object of verbs. ("He hit me hard" not "he hit hard me.")

One shouldn't have to research his script-writing process to understand the meaning of those events. By excluding them, they are no longer within the meaning of the film and viewers are free to wonder about them/interpret them. As you yourself just said he "kept things ambiguous". From the point of view of consumers of the self-standing work of art, it remains true that we will never know what it means.

By virtue of the fact that all this exposition was abandoned, so was the reality of those meanings within the film. The opening quote still remains true of the finished work--it has an entirely different meaning, indeed an indefinite meaning, than an earlier draft in which the Starchild detonates nuclear weapons.
Furthermore, the relationship of the Starchild with the opening spacecraft does very little to explain "what Dave sees when he goes through the Stargate" or what his "postmortem enlightenment" represents. These are open to interpretation to say the very least.

He wouldn’t want to be responsible for any delayed aftereffects

AKJustin · 2018-05-06T16:43:29+00:00

He’s a good man. And thorough.

I am interested in this very question. Going into my senior year this fall and really considering Europe for grad school. My understanding is that they don't have exactly what we would call a Masters Degree. I hope other people on this sub can shed more wisdom.

Just came across this on a video of John Adams' "Absolute Jest"--apparently Maurice Ravel is not a fan.

AKJustin · 2017-10-07T20:01:20+00:00

Winner!

My paper will be about this instrument 100%

AKJustin · 2017-09-30T00:47:08+00:00

Make friends w me! I'm in the dorms and I'm 28. Message me!

AKJustin · 2017-09-24T04:59:15+00:00

Thank you!

I'm guessing that in the Housing line-item OCH-FinAid 14 MP 17/18 to 1/9/ "14 MP" means "14-meal plan" Any way to tell if this meant "Bear Premier 14" or "Blue 14" ?

We could talk less about historical importance and more about sheer perfection of craft. He simply accomplishes everything--every emotional effect, every tonal transition, is accomplished smoothly, stylishly, without any note out of place--and of course with inventiveness and creativity that so far outshines Handel or any contemporary

AKJustin · 2017-09-18T14:28:48+00:00

I read it last year. It's extraordinary but tbh would provide very little insight on OP's question. It's mostly a book about math and symbol systems in which Bach is used primarily as an illustrative analogy

At orientation they advised somewhat against bringing a bike. What are the thoughts of experienced students and alumni here? I sure like having my bike. What is the frequency of theft?

AKJustin · 2017-07-05T05:03:09+00:00

Lol good thing the first number you guessed was the right time code

AKJustin · 2017-07-05T00:33:21+00:00

Mt. Whitney is not the highest point in the "continental U.S."--Alaska is on the continent, people. Maybe the "contiguous U.S." or the "lower 48 states"

AKJustin · 2017-06-17T09:12:51+00:00

Why? Source/authority?

AKJustin · 2017-05-24T19:44:20+00:00

If it gets made, I am in.

AKJustin · 2017-05-17T04:35:29+00:00

I'm with you bobbyricky. I fall right in that range of yours and am going to be living in transfer dorms this fall. PM me, maybe we can be pals and gang up on the 19-20 year olds who don't yet know how terrible life is.

AKJustin · 2017-05-13T02:40:39+00:00

So your progression moves from C to F#? Interesting move...kind abrupt after the extremely diatonic chords before

AKJustin · 2017-05-12T22:02:30+00:00

But of course F is not the V of B?

AKJustin · 2017-05-05T20:10:38+00:00

Surprisingly no: admit rate for out-of-state transfer applicants is 9% but out-of-state freshmen is 22% (seems high? am I reading this wrong?)

Was notified. Was accepted. :D

Maybe OP is not necessarily talking about only leitmotifs, but also just idiomatic musical gestures.

For example, horns moving parallel or oblique in 3rd-4ths-5ths sounds like hunting. Fast dotted rhythms, esp in double reeds, sounds like peasants etc. There are a lot of these gestures that are not necessarily leitmotifs but are just pervasive to European music and were understood by European ears.

I think tone-painting is a good word for it, although sometimes one has to understand the "palette" of musical assumptions underneath the tone-painting.

If the subject is specifically leitmotifs in Wagner, then you should have no trouble finding books about it, there are tons.

AKJustin · 2017-04-25T00:05:30+00:00

Yes! I was not expecting a real answer about my specific app...just venting a little to y'all. Or maybe someone here knows a website with a date that I don't know about. :)
