Glinda had a stereo system set up, along with iced coffees and raspberry cheesecake brownies. "Welcome back, everyone," she said, cheerily. "Today, we are going to be discussing music and mood." She began walking around the students, while continuing on.

"In the movies and theater ~~not that I would know anything about that last one~~, music is vital. When a character is not speaking, music sets the tone for the scene. In horror films, it sometimes acts as a warning to the audience- beware, for the killer is about to strike!" She leaped at the nearest student, to give them a jump, and then laughed. "In other spots, it can establish the tone of a location." She paused. "For your assignment today, you are going to listen to three pieces and write down the three feelings or emotions that you experienced while listening. After everyone is done, we will discuss the pieces, and why one person may have felt one way while another felt completely different." She tapped her staff on the ground and headphones appeared in front of everyone. "Let's begin."

Emotionally!

Wonder why Glinda didn't talk more about theater. Or you know, pass notes and whisper to each other.

Your three pieces are:

Once they've signed in!

She seems to be humming a tango today.

No day but toooooodaaaay...

Joan Girardi

(and Penelope the Piglet)

Joan listened to the lecture and idly wondered if the headphones would fit over Penelope's little piglet ears.

Priestly

Peyton was here. Red-eyed and looking like she hadn't slept, but here.

Seasons of Love: the everlasting earworm.

*digs out Pas/Cal to try to counter it*

Priestly started out listening very carefully and seriously.

But then the angry gothic metal dude in the first one declared himself the "only great white hunter" and he ended up doubled over snickering at his desk.

Well, it was an emotion, right?

1. Hilarity
2. Nostalgia
3. Victory

Priestly shot Peyton a look and tilted his head, what he hoped was a clear "you okay?" sort of gesture.

Peyton shrugged, then shook her head. Then considered and dug in her bag to offer him one of the CDs and held it out.

Priestly took the CD and looked it over, then back up at her, eyebrow up.

Liir Thropp

Liir listened to all of them. And wasn't sure if he was right about any of them.

...also, one of the voices was disturbingly familiar.

1. Pomposity
2. Rememberance
3. Victory

I could have put up "It's a Small World" or "This is the Song That Doesn't End".

DON'T TEMPT ME.

*goes to listen to more Nightwish to defeat those particular earworms*

Bah, those are easily defeated! Seasons of Love is insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidious.

Though admittedly less so than the literal Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Mullet with headlights. . . . Over surprised guy! Weirded out!

"My mom and I put the CD (http://www.amazon.com/One-Tree-Hill-Television-Friends/dp/B000CS463M) together as benefit album. The last track is by Fiona's brother," Peyton said quietly. "They just..." her eyes filled. "They just came in."

Priestly was really pretty sure he'd missed something here. But the word "benefit" and Peyton's emotion made it pretty clear what that something might be.

"Ouch. Have you listened to it, yet?"

"Yeah. After I - we - found my mom's body. On Tuesday..." She took a moment to try and compose herself. "I was bringing it so we could listen to it together, but... I wasn't sure if I should, but on the way home we listened to it. She never got to, though."

Priestly winced. ". . . You need a hug?"

She rubbed at her face a little, then nodded. "Yeah. I could use one."

Priestly held out an arm and gave a 'get over here then' jerk of his head.
