"The Development of Baroque Musicians in Terms of Performance" was originally written as a Mid-Term paper for Senior Seminar (MUSC 498). This work focuses on how Baroque music was built upon (or perhaps given some color and taste) by music performers. Discussing Johann Sebastian Bach's "Italian Concerto BWV 971," as a major example, the author demonstrates different interpretations of the music.

For a thousand years, the outside world meant nothing to the Norse trickster god, Loki, and his devoted wife, Sigyn. The little prison inside the cavern in which Loki was chained was everything. Neither of them seemed to care anymore about what happened outside the cave. But when Thor, god of thunder, appears with a proposition for Loki, they are thrust back into the real world. Loki is tasked with tracking down the thief of Freya's necklace, Brisingamen. No one else knows where the thief could be hiding; Odin cannot even find him from his throne. And since whoever holds Brisingamen holds violent sway over Freya, the Aesir send their old problem-solver - and problem-causer - to find their new enemy. It takes a thief to catch a thief, right? Loki's quest won't be as easy as he believes, for the thief inhabits one of the most powerful and magic-ridden places in the Nine Worlds. As he ventures out into a world that is both familiar and foreign to him, he must follow the thief into the one place he hates above all others. Home.

Harriet has always been the type of girl who would rather ride horses than stitch embroidery, practice her sword-fighting than practice her curtsies, and she'd rather dream about being the first female knight in all of history instead of a docile wife on some nobleman's arm. When a war between the allies of Ecrivenia and the kingdom of Carigan starts to brew, Harriet begins to wonder if it might just be her chance to become the knight she's always wished to be. Taking a chance, Harriet enlists in the King's Army, disguising herself as the red-headed, slight-figured, and quick-witted boy, Harry. However, when she is put under the charge of the handsome and strict King of Marenta, Leopold, she realizes her troubles are just beginning. Not only will she have to keep the other men from noticing she is a woman, but she will also have to put up with the scrutiny of King Leopold, the best friend of her brother-in-law. Throw in grueling training sessions, whispers of treason, and the enemy's secret weapon, Harriet suddenly finds herself thrust into the reality of being a knight in a war that might not be able to be won. ------ This is a sister novel to the first draft of Glass Slippers.
