Scrubs party in the bookstore!

Definite plus of an all women's college is the freedom to turn even the most awkward corner of the bookstore into a dressing room to try scrubs on. Yep, that just happened. But look at my awesome new scrubs!!! (okay, wrong sizes in this pic but whatever. I need smaller pants and lab coat but you get the point lol). Still need to try out the polo shirts and see what's in the nursing kit we need to order and the other instruments we have to have. On the plus side, I already have a stethoscope to go with this outfit. Look out Notre Dame: scrubs and lab coats will infiltrate the campus starting Fall'13. lol toodles!

Nancy Kreiter Research Day

As promised, video of my presentation at NKR Day! Sorry it's blurry and we messed up towards the end haha! Recital next week. Will keep you guys posted :)

Wondering what I presented on? Here's my abstract!

The Romantic period of music marked a time of moving beyond the classical structures of the Enlightenment and into an unhindered explosion of musical expression. Composers, musicians, and performers expressed their individualistic style and emotions within the realm of music, both in instrumental and vocal variations. Although these changes would create a stark difference in the presentation of music, there remained a heavy reliance on the more ordered forms of the past. Romantic composers would reconstruct these traditional structures to include more expression and consequently draw something out of the music that ultimately tugged at the audience’s deeper self. It is within this increase of passion and melody in the transformation of the past that Charles Gounod would reinterpret Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach’s Prelude Number 1 in C Major from the book “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” a compilation of preludes and fugues composed more than a hundred years before. Like much of the vocal compositions at the time, the lyrics he used were inspired by poems and other writings which he imposed over the Baroque prelude. This would ultimately result in the now famously named “Bach/Gounod Ave Maria,” a classical example of Romantic reinterpretation of a previously existing piece that expresses the influence of the modern times on the latter composer.  This presentation will highlight the linear progression of music in conjunction with the changes in society that would produce the Romantic style. A vocal selection will be used to show the culminating imposition of the two musical time periods.
