“Passion” is defined as a “strong and barely controllable emotion”. Based on this definition, singer and songwriter Marcel Ledoux naturally embodies what it means to have a remarkable “passion” for music. The Hollywood born and Miami Gardens bred vocalist was enticed by the sounds and 80’s R&B and the vibrations of Doo Wop at an early age. It wasn’t until his mother discovered his vocal chords were something extraordinary. Shorty after enrolling in to a performing arts school, his mother began enlisting Marcel in local talent shows to expose his talent to the masses.

    In the essay “Achievement of Desire”, author Richard Rodriguez, describes the story of our common experience such as growing up, leaving home, receiving an education, and joining the world.

  • The Impact of Recording Technology on Music

    2004 Words  | 5 Pages

    Basic terms are often confused when describing an individuals musical sense. Microsoft Encarta World English Dictionary defines an artist as somebody who does something with great skill and creativity, and a musician is a music maker who plays, performs, conducts, or composes music, either as a hobby or a profession. The focus of this essay is not the plausible crime of a solely techno creator, or in contrast, the soaring melodies of a humans voice. Technology has tarnished the value of pure talent of music's original creation for the sake of popularity, riches and unnatural perfection.

  • The Timeless Power of Les Miserables

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    The book Les Miserables, written by Victor Hugo in 1862, created a sensation throughout the world (Royston and Schlesinger 2). That impression continued through theatrical productions and most recently the musical, but the book contains greater detail and adds a deeper understanding of Hugo's epic story than the movie or musical portray. Regretfully, few people in World society take the time to relish this masterpiece. Living in a fast paced world, many people today consider reading a time-consuming, senseless activity, and those who still read most likely choose a shorter novel rather than the 1500 page story of Les Miserables. However, the author states, "I don't know if it will be read by everyone, but it is meant for everyone" (Royston and Schlesinger 2). This statement applies to this time period as well. The sincere characters, intriguing sub-plots, and moral theme of Les Miserables relate to people today even 130 years after its publication.
