In the book of acts it tells of how Herod locks up Peter because it

English composer Henry Purcell created many marvelous works of music during the Mid ,Baroque period, and is especially well known for his monumental operas, such as “Dido and Aeneas”, “The Fairy Queen” and King Arthur. It is also noted that Purcell composed more than 100 Songs in his lifetime, one of which is a personal favorite of mine. Entitled “O, lead Me to Some Peaceful Gloom” The text of the piece was written by 17th century playwright John Fletcher, and set to music by Purcell. This week I enjoyed the art song, as interpreted by Grammy-award winning opera singer Sylvia McNair. I found it interesting to hear the piece being sung by a soprano, in a different key than what i am accustomed to hearing and singing it in myself. From the opening

The performance program was chosen to stretch the soloist in ways unfamiliar and uncomfortable while still showing abilities previously acquired. The program is as follows: The Osborne Rhapsody for Bassoon by, Sonatine by Alexander Tansman, Concertino by Paulo Mignone, Bassoon Sonata by Gustav Schreck, and Hungarian Fantasy by Carl von Weber.

On the 5th of December, I attended my second concert in Cypress Recital Hall. It was an amazing experience. I got to fully appreciate the sounds of the violin and the piano. Erika Salas, played the Violin accompanied by Yoko Mizuno, Doris Wang and Michael Cooper each individually performed a different piece on the piano. The first song was Sonata in D major HWV 371 by George Frideric Handel and performed by Erika Salis and Yoko Mizuno. The structure of this sonata was made up of four movements. Affetuoso feeling, tenderly, Allegro lively, fast, Larghetto slowly, steadily, and Allegro energetic, fast. Each section had a specific form the first movement reminds one of a slow symphony. The Allegro is written in a fugue, polyphonic style. The

ANALYSIS OF THE COMPOSER’S MUSICAL

“Real music is always, revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward,” claimed Dmitri Shostakovitch. Composers create music to influence but also to entertain people. On November 4, 2017, I attended the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale concert at Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, which was conducted by Gary Lewis.

In Christian scriptures, Herod the Great (or King Herod), was fearful that the newborn Jesus Christ, destined to become the king of the Jews, would usurp his rule. He therefore tried to find Jesus and have him killed. However, the three Magi had been warned by an angel not to pass Herod when returning from Bethlehem. Joseph had also received a similar message through a dream, warning him to stay away. In order to ensure that the powerful leader would never grow up, Herod ordered the execution of every boy in Bethlehem and its vicinity under the age of two.

Vast, expansive, moody, reflective, musical: there are few sentiments, emotions, and nuances that cannot be expressed, or ardently seen, in the terrifying grace and beauty of the sea. As such, this recital is based upon the sea in all of its myriad manifestations with some of the more well-known composers and performers to play music in the final decades of the second millennium. The recital will feature classics derived from the ocean and all of its mysterious splendor from Charles Villiers Stanford (Songs of the Sea Opera 91), Samuel Barber (Dover Beach Opera 3), John Ireland (Sea Fever), and Edward Elgar (Sea Pictures).

The parents of Jesus are Jews. And at that time, Jews were under the government of a king of Israel, a king who always wished to be king himself. When the king heard that the boy who born of Jews, he set a secret order: kill the boy. However, he failed to do it since the Wise Men didn’t come back to told him where and who was the little boy. Therefore, he was very angry that he set another order to kill all the little boys of Bethlehem who were under two years of old.

The world-renowned vocal ensemble CAPPELLA ROMANA ("simply beautiful" –The New York Times) performs "New Worlds in Eastern Orthodox Church Music." This concert takes place prior to European engagements in London (UK), St-Hubert and Namur (Belgium) and the Utrecht Early Music Festival (Netherlands). In this program Cappella Romana explores new horizons in Orthodox Church music: The stunning Requiem by Serbian composer Stevan Hristic, Finnish works that unite Scandinavian crystalline textures with Russian church singing, and a world premiere by Kurt Sander (from Cinncinnati), heard in the warm acoustics of John Carroll University's St. Francis

The reader greets the first stanza of the poem with confusion and disarray, just as Alice had greeted the strange lands and creature of Wonderland. “`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, [did] gyre and gimble in the wabe, [all] mimsy were the borogoves, [and] the mome raths outgrabe.” This stanza is made up of a plethora of nonsense words of Carrol’s own making to personify the quirkiness of the land the readers wander into, just as Alice did. Another example of a strange application of nonsense words describes the creatures and happenings of the time before and after the slaying of the Jabberwock, showing that even without this monster, the land is as odd as ever. The “Jabberwock,” the “Bandersnatch,” the “Jubjub bird,” and “as in uffish thought he stood, / tulgey wood, [and] burbled as it came!”

Jean –Baptiste Lully and Jean –Philippe Rameau both were composers who made a distinctive contribution into a development of French opera genre. Born in 1632, Jean – Baptiste Lully was probably the most powerful force in French music in the seventeenth century. With a generous support of Louis XIV who granted him an exclusive right to produce sung drama in France, he and his librettist Jean – Philippe Quinalt reconciled the demands of drama, music and ballet in a new French form of opera called tragédie lyrique.

I will assert the necessary of examination why Beethoven struggled to provide an appropriate overture for his opera, revising it four times for topic.

Throughout Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”, his proficiency in the nonsense genre of poetry is evident. The poem is set in the same fantasy world as Alice in Wonderland. Carroll exhibits the use of childlike diction and uses the perspective of a father escorting his young son.

During the beginning of Jesus’s time Rome had power over Israel and Herod was king. Herod was taking advantage of his power and doing all sorts of
