The title of this piece is called "El Numero Uno" by Jane Weidensaul performed by the Urban Youth Harp Ensemble. The song is essentially about a bullfight. I like that this piece is different than other classical pieces. It has a certain flavor and spark about it that makes you visualize the bullfight taking place. The knocks are also special effects that brings the excitement to the performance in its initial moments.

Her inspiration for the harp comes from the melodic sounds the elegant instrument produces when a chord is struck.
The title of these pieces are Unrest by Brandee Younger and Uplift Your Voice also by Brandee Younger from the 2020 suite, performed by members of the Urban Youth Harp Ensemble. These videos are important in regards to Artivism and social justice due to it s creative ad in-depth meaning. Uplift your voice is a statement of upliftment during times of turmoil and trouble. It is encouragement and motivation to charge through those difficult times and create music. The song Unrest showcases the 2020 times of depression and loneliness demonstrating the events that took place during the pandemic. It tributes to all of the people who died and all of the occurrences that took place through its art. Both pieces, though they have stark differences in expression, relate to the people and either tells of their story or brings a way to uplift them.
