Okay, let's calm down and talk about .

A diminished in closed position has different four notes, each of which is separated from the other by a distance of three s" rel="tag">semitones. Having said that, it should be clarified that a semitone is the smallest distance between two notes on a piano and closed position involves the different notes of a chord being placed as closely as possible to each other. Here are three different diminished chords:

B, D, F and Ab B#, D#, F# and A C#, E, G and Bb

Practically speaking, all other diminished are derived from the above. For example, D, F, Ab and Cb would have been the next diminished chord in the above list, had I continued with a fourth example. However, D, F, Ab and Cb contain the same notes as B, D, F and Ab (the first chord in the list above). The only difference is the order in which the notes appear and the spelling of one of the notes (i.e. B and Cb are the same note on a piano).

So why state a comprehensive listing of twelve diminished seventh chords below. It is precisely because of the spelling of the notes that we have the more comprehensive list. The ways that notes are spelled out indicate which key we are in during a composition. From a , this knowledge is invaluable. Here is a more comprehensive listing of twelve different diminished seventh chords (all spelled differently):

B, D, F and Ab B#, D#, F# and A C#, E, G and Bb D, F, Ab and Cb D#, F#, A and C E, G, Bb and Db E#, G#, B and D F#, A, C and Eb Fx, A#, C# and E G#, B, D and F A, C, Eb and Gb A#, C#, E and G

Examples one through twelve above belong to the following minor keys respectively: C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, Bb and B. As a composer, knowing what key you are writing in is a necessity. As a pianist, the more insight you have into a composition that you are performing, the more depth you can give to your interpretation.

Here is a fascinating observation involving diminished seventh chords. If you take, for example, a diminished seventh chord of C minor (B, D, F and Ab), you can create four different dominant seventh chords by simply lowering any one of the notes in the chord by a semitone (a half step).

As a demonstration, if we lower the top note as such: B, D, F and G, then we have a dominant seventh chord of C major and a potential modulation to the tonic major of your original key. In plain English, that means that we can easily change keys from C minor to C major.

Using this system, the diminished seventh opens up the possibility of four different, quick modulations, making this chord a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled composer or piano improviser.

To start with, let's examine what a dominant seventh chord is. In its basic form, this chord has four different notes sounding simultaneously, with the spacing of three, three and four semitones between each of its notes (going from the lowest note to the highest note). Here is a list of twelve different dominant seventh chords:

G, B, D and F G#, B#, D# and F# A, C#, E and G Bb, D, F and Ab B, D#, F# and A C, E, G and Bb C#, E#, G# and B D, F#, A and C Eb, G, Bb and Db E, G#, B and D F, A, C and Eb F#, A#, C# and E

The above twelve chords belong to the following major and minor keys respectively: C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb and B.

The chords are called dominant sevenths because their starts on the (called the dominant) of the scale. They also have a top note placed above the bottom note; hence, the word seventh appears in dominant seventh. For example, our first above listing is G, B, D and F. G is the fifth note in C major or C minor. As well, the F is seven letters above the bottom G (G, A, B, C, D, E and F=85 we count all of the letters including the G and F).

Dominant seventh chords are popular for a number of reasons. They are versatile in that they can be effectively stacked into a more complex chord. Again, let's use the first listing to demonstrate this. If we add another note overtop of our first chord, we get the following: G, B, D, F and A. This is called a dominant . Similarly, we can build eleventh and by using the same stacking technique. Dominant chords of this variety, when arranged skilfully, open the door to a whole new harmonic vocabulary in many styles of jazz.

Dominant sevenths also play a significant roll in different types of cadences. A cadence is a chord progression at the end of a music phrase, section or composition. The most common progression involving a dominant or dominant seventh chord is a 5-1 (called a perfect) cadence. Other common chord sequences involving dominant and dominant seventh chords include the following:

=952-5-1

=951-4-5-1

=953-6-2-5-1

The five in the above chord progressions signifies a dominant chord, which is often substituted with a dominant seventh, ninth, eleventh or thirteenth chord. As a final note, dominant seventh, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth chords are easily altered by raising or lowering the fifth and/or ninth note degree of the chord.

This innovative show took much of its influence from the television show, and its successful run has shown that Avenue Q is growing into a theater classic. Below is a look at the story itself and the production history, but the bottom line is that Avenue Q is a story that takes an "adult" view of a children's tradition.



The Story

The cast of Avenue Q is filled by puppets, although these are hardly the puppets millions have come to know on the television show. Avenue Q is a true spoof of Sesame Street, and the story centers on the main character, . Princeton has just graduated from college, and he has no money, as he's just getting his start in life.



Given his lack of funds, Princeton moves into a New York in the only neighborhood he can afford, and that apartment is on Avenue Q. Princeton slowly gets to know the other characters on his block, including Brian, an unemployed but laid back kind of guy who's engaged, Kate Monster, a teaching assistant who's unhappy with her lack of a boyfriend, Rod, the secretly-gay investment banker/Republican, Nicky the slacker, and a host of other interesting characters.



The basic premise of the story is life's struggles as they are encountered by young adults just getting their start in life. We'd tell you how the story plays out, but you'd be better off getting Avenue Q tickets for yourself to see just how this diverse and sometimes-racy neighborhood moves in the city that never sleeps.

with Sesame Street

There are several somewhat direct parallels between the play and the television show, and anyone familiar with the children's classic will recognize them instantly. Rod and Nicky are roommates, and they are clearly a parody of Bert and Ernie, with the most interesting twist to this parallel being that Rod is gay.



Another character, , is a spin-off of the Cookie Monster, and even the way the songs are sung and put together are eerily reminiscent of the television show. The most obvious connection is the use of puppets.



However, this is where the similarities end, as the theme of the story is quite mature. There are explicit lyrics in the songs, full "puppet" nudity, and strong sexual content between some of the characters.



Overall, Avenue Q tickets will take you back in time with its parallels with Sesame Street, but will also mesmerize you with the modern and often-hilarious twists on the original story idea.

It is a great tribute to the man that the four basic principles he started in his day - a dependence on research, professional discipline, and a preeminent regard for delivering results to clients - still form the blueprint of today's advertising agency business.

Ogilvy believed that a good advertising man is someone who has many influences. The son of a classics scholar and a financial broker, Ogilvy himself had sold cooking stoves door-to-door and was so successful that he was asked to write an instruction manual for other salesmen. He also worked as a chef, researcher and farmer.

His start in advertising is the stuff of legend. His older brother, Francis Ogilvy, was at the time working in a London ad agency called Mather andamp; Crowther and showed his bosses the instruction manual that Ogilvy had written. Based solely on that, they offered him a job as an account executive. And just how good was the manual? Thirty years after it was written, reviewed the manual and called it andquot;the finest sales instruction manual ever written.andquot;

Ogilvy created many advertising campaigns that grabbed attention and moved products off the shelves. Among people's favorites are those for Hathaway shirt, Schweppes, Rolls-Royce and Shell. He was considered both a and a maverick during his time and some of his efforts caused a stir in Madison Avenue, which was the heart of the .

His first advertising effort showed a naked woman and, though he said this embarrassed him, he believed that nudity did have its place in advertising. In his book, Ogilvy on Advertising, he wrote about a campaign that played itself out on a giant billboard. The first of three installments showed a beautiful woman in a bathing suite with the caption, andquot;On September 2, I will take off my top.andquot; On September 2, the billboard was replaced with the same woman now wearing only a thong and a caption that said, andquot;On September 4, I will take off my bottom.andquot; By then the entire country was a-buzz as eager men waited to see if she would keep her promise. And on September 4, she did, with a product of the agency's client right beside her.

Since its debut in the fall season of 2000, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has been a major draw for the CBS Network. It became the most watched program on television in the 2002-2003 season, and has since remained in the top 3 most popular shows ever since. As of the sixth season each episode attracted an average of 30 million viewers, and 90 million people have seen the show in the past year.

The sixth season closed with a spectacular two-parter in which Detective Jim Brass was left fighting for life after a hostage negotiation went wrong. When murderer Willie Cutler took a woman hostage in a Vegas hotel room, Brass volunteered to negotiate. However, when things went awry Cutler fired three shots at Brass - and one of the shots breached his , a bullet lodging in his heart.

After Brass was rushed to hospital in critical condition, CSI was informed that Brass had nominated him as his medical proxy, which meant that Grissom had to decide whether to allow doctors to perform risky surgery to remove the bullet or - equally dangerous - leave the bullet where it was and risk a stroke. Grissom, believing that Brass would have wanted it, ordered the surgery.

Meanwhile, Brass' estranged arrived, more interested in how much she'd get from her father's pension scheme than in his well being. Grissom tried to make Ellie understand how much Brass cares for her, but Ellie seemed unwilling to listen. By the time Brass regained consciousness she had left, but Brass' CSI family were still by his side.

The season closed on a surprising note with Grissom finally getting together with - a story arc that has been several years in the making.

So what does the next season have in store for CSI fans? Well, while the show will no doubt continue with the format that has seen it become one of the most successful shows on TV the main story in the coming season must revolve around the CSIs relationships. With a new romance blooming between Grissom and Sidle it will be interesting to see how these two loners will adapt to the new situation.

On that count, at least, even the stars of the show don't know how it will turn out. Jorja Fox, the actor who plays Sidle, didn't know that she and Grissom were getting together until just a few days before filming, but she believes that this one is for keeps: andquot;These two people, they have a lot in common. They're both really not great with people in many respects, and they're emotionally detached in many respects. If two people like that can kind of find each other, there's something really beautiful in that.andquot;

But it won't just be the relationship between Grissom and Sidle hogging the limelight. As we saw in the penultimate episode of season six Warwick Brown's marriage is on the rocks. After spotting his wife Tina with another man in the Lucky Dragon Casino Warwick confronted her, not realizing that she was planning a surprise party for Warwick's birthday. If Tina walks out on him, will Catherine offer Warwick a shoulder to cry on?

We'll have to wait and see... the story will unfold during the seventh season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS this fall. James Shenton is a New York-based entertainment writer.

For over a hundred years, Carnegie Hall has been a status symbol of the highest echelons of musical taste and appreciation.

Carnegie Hall bears the name of , who originally had it built to house the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony Society. Carnegie, who was famous for his philanthropy, served on the boards of both organizations. The great hall opened its doors on May 5, 1891 and featured the famous composer conducting his musical works.

Quite a prestigious beginning for a music hall. Over the years, many famous performers have appeared at Carnegie Hall, such as , Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Yo-Yo Ma and yes, even the Beatles!

Carnegie Hall houses three concert halls and a museum. The Main Hall seats 2,804 people and is five levels. If you don't want to walk up 100+ stairs, you can always take the elevator. This is where all the big concerts are held. The acoustics are marvelous. The late classical violinist, Isaac Stern, once said about the acoustics "It takes what you do and makes it larger than life."

The love that Isaac Stern had for Carnegie Hall is evident as you'll see that the Main Hall is now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium. Believe it or not, Carnegie Hall was slated for demolition in 1960, but due to the efforts of Stern, it was saved and eventually purchased by the City of New York for $5 million.

The other two halls are much smaller and suitable for more intimate performances. Zankel Hall seats 599 and the newer Weil Hall seats 268. You can also visit the Rose Museum, which houses the Carnegie Archives, artifacts and memorabilia of the buildings history and performances.

When you reach the great hall, located at and West 57th Street, you'll immediately admire its Italian Renaissance style architecture. The hall was even designed by a musician, an amateur cellist named William Tuthill.

Just a short walk around the corner is the Steinway Building, which displays some beautifully crafted Steinway pianos, the same type of pianos that are often used by Carnegie Hall performers.

There are over 100 performances a season held at Carnegie Hall. If you have your heart set on attending a concert there, be aware that you'll need to buy your tickets way in advance, because they tend to sell out quickly. If you are lucky enough to attend an event at Carnegie, you'll enjoy some of the world's finest musical performances while admiring its splendor.

Like a torrent of freedom and power that descends from on high and changes everything in its path, something very difficult to describe with words, but yet very real. It is music full of the majesty and the . I firmly believe that the music of His presence will be one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Church of the end times. It will completely revolutionize our worship services and will carry us to behold the very glory of the King.

The music of His presence flows from the realm of God's glory. It's a combination of melodies and harmonies that come from the throne room of heaven and break into the . As we will see, this heavenly sound flows through a growing generation of prophetic worshipers. They are an army of lovesick singers and musicians that will hear, taste and become the sound from heaven.

God said to : "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you... Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain... Now the rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it . And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud" (Ex. 24: 12, 15, 16). When Moses went up to Sinai, a cloud covered the mount, and the glory of the Lord rested there for six days. This was a powerful experience. Nevertheless, Moses continued waiting. During those six days the Holy Spirit covered him, and he felt the glory of God that rested on the mount, but there was more. On the seventh day, while he was in the midst of the cloud, the Lord called him again.

This call was distinct and much more intense...

"The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights"(Ex. 24:17-18). Moses could climb up the mount to a certain point, but in order to climb higher, he had to hear the call of God and enter in the midst of the cloud. When Moses entered the cloud, he entered into the Spirit. It was no longer him climbing... The Holy Spirit carried him. He had crossed the threshold of the door that divides the natural from the supernatural, and entered into the spiritual realm. The Lord showed him eternal things, things that are not seen in the natural.

The music of His Presence is found in this realm of the Holy Spirit. Finding this realm will not only be impressive and revealing, but it will also produce the same longing in you that was produced in Moses, a passionate desire to know the Lord more deeply.
