Georg Friedrich Händel, a Baroque composer, born in Halle ‘an-die-Saale’, Germany on February 23, 1685 primarily performed as a keyboardist and had begun to compose music as a juvenile (Cudworth 7). At the age of 19, Händel’s initial opera Almira premiered in January of 1705 in Hamburg, Germany. Soon after the completion of the aforementioned work, he would voyage to Florence, Italy (upon the invitation extended to him by Prince Ferdinand de’ Medici) to master the Italic form (Cudworth 12). Moreover, in 1709, Händel had constructed his first prodigious opera, Agrippina and premiered it during the Venetian celebration of Carnival. Consequently, after the debut of this piece he felt that he had learned vastly from his Italian mentors and friends

I have chosen to share three of my favorite pieces. Each piece is different by genre, artist, style, and time. These three pieces should be familiar to most of the populations’ ears. I tried to choose different types of pieces because I do not like to listen to the same artists or genre. My personal musical taste is a variety of genres and choosing the three pieces represents my musical mixture.

Wagner birth name is Wilhelm Richard Wagner, he was one of the most influential and controversial composers; born May 22, 1813 in Leipzig, Germany and died of a heart attack on February 13, 1883 in Venice, Italy. He is known for writing serveral complex operas, At the age of 21, he wrote his first opera “The Fairies”. It is sid that his music was played at a concentration camp named Dachau to “re-educate” the prisoners.

“In the end we will not know what kind of man Schumann was. And it is good that we will not know. We have no idea how he managed to do what he did. And that’s for a genius the best way.” – Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

I am a musician and composer. My work allows me as an artist to use music as an inherent and universal means of communication to invoke my audience in a period of time on an emotional level. I choose music because I feel an image can be interpreted in a plethora of ways while music generally elicits a unanimous emotion that convey a theme instead of being restricted to one central focus. Bheetoven’s, Moonlight Sonata was written for a Countess Giulietta Guicciard whose beauty he said, reflected that of the moon. The musical composition envokes a sense of elegance and imperfection. Like that of an image of nature in a glass of water one could conclude deduce that Bheeetoven’s composition invoked beauty in both its radiance and imperfections.

Robert Ashley's works resembled no other, it is the thing that others would consider as melodic dramatization. Bach was

“In the Maya civilization, a peaceful tribe is brutally attacked by warriors seeking slaves and human beings for sacrifice for their gods. Jaguar Paw hides his pregnant wife and his son in a deep hole nearby their tribe and is captured while fighting with his people. An eclipse spares his life from the sacrifice and later he has to fight to survive and save his beloved family.” Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In this magnificent concert there was a full orchestra, including all the musical band instruments was performing really well. I saw different variety of instruments like the following: viola, violin, cello, french horn, timpani, clarinet, contrabassoon, double bass.

The poem is a very difficult one to give a properly literary analysis of, at least for me, but here goes. The poem, “Alabanza”, written by Martin Espada, is both meant to be a celebration of the workers that died in the terribly tragic events that occurred at the World Trade Centers in 2001. At the same time, it is also trying to make us aware of and even mock, the things that Marxism hates most about Capitalism. Things like, commodifying, consumerism, the class system (class discussion and powerpoints)

A total three piece of music was performed and they are all very nice. The concert begins with the Apres by Franck Krawczyk and this piece is from the modern period, and this has also been the first performance to the public. The second work is called Cello Concerto in A minor,Op.129 by Schumann and this piece is from the romantic period. This piece has three movements and the movements are played without pause. The first movement is in A minor key and it is not too fast. The piece starts with solo cello and very light string accompaniment and the theme is present in the solo part. The second movement is F major and it is very short and slow. The soloist is accompanied by pizzicato. The transition to the last movement is pretty loud and it

What does it mean to be your brothers keeper? What type of man would I be without my family to support me? In his passage “Brothers Keeper” Eugene Debs states being our brothers keeper is not a choice but a moral obligation. People are born and nurtured by loved ones untill they grow up, but what would happen if those in need werent nurtured. They might not become an upright member of society, therefore we do need attend their needs

Opera was created around 1597.Madame Butterfly is an operatic kind of song.The melody being used was more in high notes and high pitch level but few were in dialogue.The harmony is in polyphonic in nature with mixtures of instruments.The tone color is also in the counterpoint,contrapuntal way and it has full of vibrato singing style (libretto).The rhythm of the piece starts in slow,and it has full of dynamic expressions from soft to loud sounds.The emotions of the piece and the singers portray and interpret it very dramatically.Costumes were based in 18th century style.

Mr. Palomar exhibits a unique interesting character throughout the entire book Mr. Palomar by Italo Calvino. “The odd slipper” (Page 99-101), specifically addresses a lot of Mr. Palomar’s perspectives on simple topics, it clearly shows that Mr. Palomar is a deep thinker and it conveys his habit of over complicating matters that are supposed to be simple, it is effective in highlighting the image that Mr. Palomar is a character who tends to isolate himself from the world by questioning it and examining every aspect of our being and stance in society.

“Melancholy,” written by Carina del Valle Schorske, presents the reader with the mystery of melancholy and its relation to clinical depression—a relevant, urgent issue that should indeed be addressed. However, the mystery remains unsolved as the piece progresses, and not in a way that promotes open-ended discussion.
