In the Middle Ages, a group of composers in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame invented a new kind of sound: polyphony. Compared to the monophonic Gregorian chants of years prior, this new music consisted of multiple overlapping voices moving in distinct yet interwoven melodies. The innovation resonated throughout Western music for centuries. Like those medieval artists,

Snowflakes gently falling, a cold breeze cutting through South Quad, Sufjan Stevens on the record player — there’s only one thing it could all mean: It’s time to rank stuff. Welcome to Scene’s Year in Review, a week when Scene Writers take stock as the calendar year creeps to a close. On Tuesday, Scene Writers

I never thought I would be the type of person to write about my experiences abroad. Yet here I am, about to tell you all about some of my experiences in London, Paris and Berlin this summer. A lot of study abroad blogs talk about food, but the food in London was pretty lame. Fish

On the days of the ISIS attacks in Paris, Beirut and Baghdad, I was in New York, safe from all the bombings and shootings. In the dark subway station in New York City, time went back to Sept. 11, 2001. My mom woke me up from sleep. On the evening news, I saw a plane crashing into

Friday, Nov. 13, Paris, France fell victim to the vicious and unrestrained attacks of the terrorist organization ISIS. The U.S. Executive Office immediately released a predictable statement announcing, “This is an attack not just on Paris, it’s an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity

Last Friday night, in one of the world’s most peaceful cities, a morbid ticker of increasingly unimaginable carnage came through our news feeds. At least 129 people were killed in Paris, France. Perhaps less apparent to us was the death of over forty in Beirut, Lebanon, the day before. The 18 who lost their lives last week to

Chances are we’ve all had moments that capture our attention to such a degree that we can’t stop focusing on them. For me, those moments usually come in the form of music. If I hear a song that grabs me, I’ll listen to it on repeat — sometimes hundreds of times over multiple days. The

Without a doubt, Magic Man’s “Paris” is a hit. With an infectious piano hook and frenetic chorus you can’t help but bob your head to, “Paris” is my go-to when I need a pick-me-up. Yet upon seeing Magic Man live earlier this week at the Old National Centre, I questioned whether “Paris” alone could carry

Four panelists brought the global conversation of free speech rights and extremism and Western conflict to the Hesburgh Center Auditorium on Tuesday as part of a panel called “Paris 2015.” The four panelists, Margaret Meserve, Olivier Morel, Ebrahim Moosa and Elliot Visconsi, discussed the international significance of the recent unrest in Paris following the murder of
