Choral Cacophony: July 2008
http://choralcacophony.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. What I need is musical activity on my own terms. I thought about getting back into oboe, and actually tried for a couple weeks, only to recall why I couldn't commit to serious study. Whatever I persue, I cannot dabble in it like some hobbiest; no, I do it because I am a musician and a scholar. (Yes, mock me, if you wish.). After all, musicologists should not be limited to writing on music as their sole medium for. Posted by Natalie Thrun. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Leaving Milwauke...

Choral Cacophony: the "star spangled banner" revised
http://choralcacophony.blogspot.com/2008/08/star-spangled-banner-revised.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. The "star spangled banner" revised. I wonder what the gold-medal athletes at the Olympic Games. In Beijing are thinking as they hear their country's national anthem. Achievement, fatigue, energy, pride, unity, or reverence? Or do colors, smells, and memories of a more individual type flash through their minds? And what of the audiences at home and in the arena? Similarly, I think "The Star Spangled Banner" also has a great unifying effect, while being divisive as well. The nation...

Choral Cacophony: March 2008
http://choralcacophony.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 6, 2008. What did bach look like. CNN posted a story on Tuesday called "What did Bach look like? The article features a picture of what Bach might have looked like using computer generated technology. From this digital image a bust was created; this bust was displayed at Eisenach in an exhibition call "Bach Through the Mirror of Medicine.". Why does an infusion of "technology" seem to make everything "cool? This does not change the way we hear his music, and it will probably not attract y...

Rebellion on Two Wheels: January 2009
http://twoweelz.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. There is a ton to blog about. I'm completely serious, and I have a lot to say. But there's also this nagging thing called my dissertation that has to get done very soon. And while I have been almost. Done for quite some time, I'd like to finally be done. Done So forgive my absence in the blogosphere, but I have to step away for awhile. I'll return once I have a Ph.D next to my name, I promise. Sunday, January 11, 2009. And why should I yield to them? Ever since that day, I've tr...

Musicology and Critical Studies, with a cup of teh. Sometimes, neither. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. The Silencing powers of Spectacle: A State Sonata. First, the exposition articulates a hypermasculine aesthetic, represented through the contingence of State Power: the Armed Forces. Simultaneously touted as the chief means by which "internal" security is managed and maintained (at what expense? Thirdly, Recapitulation. But here, recapitulation does not take the form of the domination over masculine/fe...
