Three sites receive Vanguard Award

http://www.oocities.org/~cmsunday/ Connie's Violin Page is the type of page that exemplifies what the Vienna neighborhood is all about. She has incorporated the theme of music while keeping her page fresh, vibrant, and resourceful. Though the title suggests that this page is entirely about violin, that is hardly the case. The site provides information about music in general, poetry, the fine arts, and various scholars in the worlds of music, visual arts and literature. She also provides links for vegetarians, law-related links and a few other areas of interest. A few areas I found most resourceful and interesting were: The Guide to the Orchestra, Violin Pedagogy, and Great Books for Musicians. This is a site that anyone interested in violin or orchestra, or who is thinking about learning to play the violin should definitely check out.
http://www.oocities.org/Vienna/7189/ This MIDI site is very nicely laid out. The graphics that accompany Bruce's original MIDI compositions are not only appropriate, but set the mood perfectly. This contents of this site are appealing to anyone who is interested in music and MIDI compositions. All of the compositions are categorized into "CDs," with an accompanying alphabetical listing of all of Bruce's original compositions. Most of the music is light and relaxing, yet fun to listen to. Although the page does take a little longer to load, the graphic layout is worth it.
http://www.oocities.org/Vienna/Opera/4151/ This site is unique in many respects, one of which is the fact that Florian has created it in two languages. You can choose to view in English or German. This site is dedicated to Florian, who happens to be an accomplished musician. He has information on yodeling and other music from his native Austria, information about his recent concerts, and RealAudio files of some of his performances. This site is updated quite frequently, so you will want to check back often. Curtis(curtjeff2) is a high school student very involved in music and the arts. He has been a Vienna Community Leader since the beginning of March 1999. He is the chair of the Vienna Vanguard Award and a regular contributor to Vienna Online. |
