The motion of the piece was conjunct throughout the piece, however there was certain sections that were disconjunct such as sections the piano parts, E, E’ and A’’. Section F starts out with conjunct motion and gradually moves to disconjunct motion towards the end of the section; this was done to end the piece with a grand gesture. The articulation was smooth throughout most sections.

Positive Thinking and Conflict There are many times in one’s life where a simple positive gesture can make their day. Anne, in “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank along with Louise Ogawa in “Dear Miss Breed” by Joanne Oppenheim, display attitudes that not only helped themselves, but gave other people hope.

A B C D C B A. Rhythmically this work has two distinctive features: the regular pulse of the piano and percussion and the rhythm of the human breathing in the vocal and wind parts, and the interaction between them brings about a remarkable effect of wave motion.

First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form.

It has remained one of the great standards amongst the
