Finlandia, composed by Jean Sibelius has use of articulation such as slurs and tenutos (b.132-155) that portray an image that is too smooth to represent the jagged iceberg. The articulation in this section illustrates an image of snow or something not dangerous. However the use of dynamics in this piece create a sound that is identical to the selected image of the iceberg. The dynamics in bars 142 and 143 crescendo and decrescendo dramatically over a short period of time which makes this section highly expressive. This rapid change in dynamics is seen again in bars 151-152 and 202-205. On page 5 all instruments in the orchestra increase in volume to build up to the climax and play fortissimo to depict a massive and menacing ice structure (b. 184-194). Although Sibelius does use better dynamics to portray the selected image, Westlake’s piece, The Last Place on Earth better portrays the image of a glacier through the piece’s combination of expressive devices such as dynamics and articulation.

Although known for his pianistic abilities Grainger is best known throughout Australia as a composer. He had planned his life as a composer before he was twenty years of age and held true to that plan as best as he could. His arrangements of folk music including ‘Country Gardens’ and ‘Folk Song from Country Derry’ were not what he classed as compositions. Rather his serious compositions include ‘Kipling Jungle Book Cycle’ and ‘The Warriors’ during his quest for free music. Grainger’s folk music are short melodic works that are set in a variety of rhythms, pitches and instruments. During his early years in London he composed a transcription of Tchaikovsky’s Flower Waltz and this sparked a venture into piano transcriptions including Four Irish Dances by Charles Stanford. It was also during this time that he met Edward Grieg, his long time musical hero and inspiration. Whilst in Australia Grainger was first introduced to Grieg by his mother Rose and thus ignited his passion for Grieg’s lyric pieces, resulting him to arrange a series of theses during 1898. Grainger continued to arrange folk music, presenting a collection of work which is unique in music history. During a visit to Scotland during 1900, Grainger was heavily influenced by his cultural experience and arranged 25 new accompaniments to Augener’s ‘Minstrelsy of England,’ thus had a profound effect on his future musical

The United States has become a multicultural country. Everywhere you look, you see a plethora of cultures that range from Hispanic and African to Asian and American Indian. The varied traditions and beliefs of a multicultural country impact how nurses implement patient-centered care. The best way to provide optimal care in nursing is to become better informed in how different cultures view health maintenance, protection, and restoration. The Heritage Assessment is a wonderful tool to obtain information that can be used

Of the many great composers during this era, Wagner stood out to me because of the intensity of his composition from 1851 in “The Ride.” The song pulls at my emotions in a theatrical telling of a battle scene from which warrior maidens emerge. These women are attendants to Odin, who sought out the souls of those heroes lost in battle. The Norse myths story is told through the feelings I experience when I hear this composition. The tempo is fast and amped. It pulls me into the sounds and I want to hear what happens next. I feel the announcement of these heroic soldiers and the challenges they fought through. It starts fast, lightens up, and then comes back with stronger build up. I feel the drama in the battle as if it’s happening in front of me. There are moments while listening where I caught myself holding my breath. This draws out feelings of enthusiastic anticipation which reminds me of the music written for a screenplay. The song finishes with a final, proud, horn blast and then leave me with some tension in the fast-paced ending of thrills. I’m drawn in and

One of the best ways in which someone could describe Keir Sarafian is delusional. From the very beginning of Inexcusable there were signs that Keir only really looks at the world in a way that will serve him and make him happy. Keir only sees himself as a “good guy” and refuses to acknowledge any evidence that he might not actually be a good guy. There are times during his story that he will flat out refuse to admit he did something even though it is clear that he did and anyone who was in their right mind would know that they did. In the very first chapter when Gigi is trying to get Keir to admit that he raped her, he flat out says “I didn’t do anything,” (Pg 2). He thinks because he is a good guy and because he loves her there is no possible

First and foremost, the piece reflects the development of the clarinet that its role in the orchestra became more and

In the stories "Live to Tell", "Interlopers", and "Way Up to Heaven" the shared literary element is suspense which gets developed through imagery. Each of these stories is unique in their own way. However they all have one thing in common, suspense. Through settings and characters the authors develop a great sense of tension and suspense which keeps the reader interested.

The abundance of harmonies never loses the thread to his audience. Furthermore, the opening of the slow movement inspires the imagination and attention of its listeners. All these elements make this piece one of the most successful concertos in the musical history.

He began to write preludes for organs but did not cover large- scale organization, when two melodies interact at the same time. A few years after playing for the church, Bach made a visit to Dieterich Buxtehude in Lubeck. This visit reinforced Bach’s style in music with the works he has made.

The 1st movement is in sonata form. The slow introduction to this symphony is unusual in that it begins in the subdominant key - E minor, solemnly introduced by the bassoons. It modulates into B minor and the tempo increases for the principal subject. This theme is elaborated and developed, and a march-like motif forms a bridge passage leading to a climax. The strings then introduce an amorous, song-like second subject in D major. The development section enters with a bang. This section brings no startling thematic growth or transformation, but is

Chopin’s third sonata is a masterwork filled with pianistic elements, daring harmonies, experimental form, and a wealth of expressivity. In this four-movement work, references to other Chopin compositions and influences from fellow composers are found. At the same time, there is a progressive element; it looks forward to the heights which would be achieved by Chopin and later composers.

With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world! How soon might the end come,--the end of suffering and sorrow and sin! How soon, in place of a possession here, with its blight of sin and pain, our children might receive their inheritance where "the righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever"; where "the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick," and "the voice of weeping shall be no more heard."--"Counsels to Teachers, Parents, and Students," p. 555 .
