Musicology Corner: J.S. Bach: His Dark Side

By: Veronica Kogan Many think of J.S. Bach as just some boring, stuffy composer who lived three hundred years ago and should stay there. Well, they are quite mistaken. Bach lived during the Baroque period, a time of artistic drama and grandeur. At the same time, Lutheranism, the first Christian faith to break from the Catholic Church, had a great impact on Bach’s music, and … Continue reading Musicology Corner: J.S. Bach: His Dark Side

Films to Stream in Quarantine: “Rogue” Movie Review

By:  Ashley Pope  One movie I recommend is “Rogue”. It is a movie about a female agent that rescued the governor’s daughter from sex trafficking. What I really loved about the movie is how throughout every scene they underestimated the agent and questioned her leadership. The plot twist is at the very end where she got the governor’s daughter out alive and rescued herself too. … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: “Rogue” Movie Review

Films to Stream in Quarantine: John Adams: Only One Man

By: Veronica Kogan Let’s face it—do you really know what John Adams did for the birth of the U.S.? From my experience in history class, John Adams is a name you hear once or twice and forget shortly thereafter. I’ve always thought the main players in the birth of America were only George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. “Hamilton” the musical made … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: John Adams: Only One Man

Films to Stream in Quarantine: Mulan is Still Magic

By: Emily Papleux (I will not be talking about the live action remake.) The movie I will be reviewing is Mulan. I love how she has a romantic aspect in her story, but also how the story isn’t driven solely on that aspect. She, as a woman (in her setting) is expected to pour tea perfectly, or have perfect posture and elegant silk dresses. But … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: Mulan is Still Magic
