Milton Babbitt

In the variety of occasions we tend to listen in a different way and process the sounds that reach us in a different manner. Our main purpose can be to obtain information, engage in a conversation, or just enjoy the sounds we hear (Types of Listening). In the book ‘In Silence: Lectures and Writings’ John Cage argues that we hear mostly noise, which disturbs us when we ignore it and we find it fascinating if we listen to it. Also according to Cage when we make music we just organize the sound, combining different noises from the surroundings, manipulating their frequencies and creating rhythms. (Cage, J. 1961)

Without the human intention, perception, and interpretation of sound, then the existence of music would be imaginary. Music includes talking words in a way that the person creates a sound that is made with the intention of being music (Deutsch, Diana 10-13, Justus & Timothy., 33-40). Besides, people can perceive silence and sound and put them together so as to call the outcome music. In Bakan’s fourth proposition, he identifies the approach as the Human Intention and Perception (HIP) approach (Resnicow, Joel E., 10-22). In other words, the proposition tries to suggest that music is inseparable from the makers; or more specifically the people who perceive and experience it. Bakan gives numerous examples to show that music is a product of human intention and perception. This paper conducts research and gives appropriate examples to show that music is only identified as music if the person is making it has the intention for their words to be music.

John Lubbock once stated, “Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.” This was 100% correctly said because there’s no other you. No one else can possibly make decisions for you. Our character is not formed by influences beyond our control, because those influences do not define us. They don't define who we really are.

Ben Hall? Who was Ben Hall? A victim, hero or a criminal? Good Afternoon fellow students and Mrs. Nielsen. The topic that we will be debating this afternoon is: Ben Hall was a decent, innocent young man who suffered continual harassment by the police for no reason at all. He was driven into crime by the harshness of the authorities. Therefore making him an outlaw hero. A hero is defined as a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. Today I will be talking about Ben hall’s life and what makes him a hero.

Albert Bierstadt was one of the greatest landscape artists in history (Albert Bierstadt). His naturalistic landscape scenes of the unsettled American West brought about the need to preserve the land; in 1872, the United States Congress passed the Yellowstone Park Bill therefore creating the first national park in the world (Sierra Nevada). One of Albert Bierstadt more iconic paintings is titled the Sierra Nevada; it was painted in the year 1872. He uses different lines, shows incredible texture, impeccable depth, stunning colors and design in his painting the Sierra Nevada.

Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who claimed he could run backward faster than most men could go forward, was the most famous of all African American tap dancers in the twentieth century. Dancing upright and swinging, his light and exacting footwork brought tap "up on its toes" from an earlier flat-footed shuffling style, and developed the art of tap dancing to a delicate perfection.

Milton Babbitt and John Cage were both composers who played pivotal roles in the post-World War II Avant Garde music scene and in the pioneering of electronic music. Both composers found their roots and were greatly influenced by German-Jewish composer Arnold Schoenberg, however they both adopted different viewpoints on the relationship between a composer and their audience . Babbitt believed that a composer or creator did not have an obligation to please his or her audience, and that his pieces were intended mostly for professionals capable of understanding the context and intention of his music. Cage on the other hand granted his audience more power and influence, believing that music was a platform on which audiences could utilize their creativity to adopt new ways of perceiving and being aware of the world around them. These stances, as well as the different techniques and methodologies of the composers pitted them on somewhat of a spectrum, with Babbitt and his systematic, modernist ideas that were largely based in the music schools of academic institutions on one side and Cage, with his uncontrollable, radical combinations of Avant Garde sounds on the other side. These ideas on audience construction and relations were also visible in rock music of the 1960’s, particularly in compositions of artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan.

There are thousands of sport teams, from high school to professional, that have mascots that reference Native American culture. In an increasingly diverse and conscientious American culture, the question still stands is it appropriate for teams to continue to use mascots that appropriate another culture? John Barr reminds us that “I think that what I would encourage you to do and everyone else to do is just look at the history, understand where the name came from, understand that it means… honor, it means respect, it means pride. And it’s that simple” (Wulf). Barr’s point is that when teams pick this name it is an honor to be called a Native American name. In Barr’s point I would highly agree with him because, my family takes heart to that.

Sonata V of John Cage has binary form which consists of small-ranged irregular phrases. The piece as a whole does not have a distinct melody. The first section has a smooth, repetitive rhythm, and percussive sound of prepared piano is ethereal. There is a regular pulse throughout the first section, and the pulse is delayed in some places with a couple of extra notes (“Sonata V,” 0:12-0:16). The second part is more like the developmental part of the Classical sonata form. It is more dissonant and irregular, and there are pauses between some phrases. The piece as a whole differs from Western music in almost every aspect. Some parts of the piece resemble African drumming (“Sonata V,” 0:47-0:52). However, Cage was actually inspired from Javanese Gamelan, an orchestra of metallic percussion from Indonesia (Forney et. al., 374).

Rambur Charolais is located in Sidney, MT and was founded more than 30 years ago by Howard Rambur. When Howard started in the ranching industry, he wanted to work with a breed of cattle distinctly different from any other breeds in eastern Montana, so he chose the Charolais. The Charolais, at the time, was a relatively new breed to the area and it was still able to retain its full French heritage. Even though the breed grew quite large as adults, Howard had a goal to modify the Charolais to not only suit his customers, but to also ensure that the animals fit the Montana environment. The Charolais put on pounds quickly, which led to calving problems. Howard Rambur then bred the cow down to a smaller frame, which led to calving ease. For decades,

Encoding is the likelihood that that mass media will report information in a way that will be easier for the readers to understand. In order to do this effectively, the author may have to leave some details out or add extra details that have little significance. The process of encoding is often argued to correspond with an interest in strengthening the stigma attached to the minority population in the report. This is illustrated in the murdering of Lee Bonneau when the report discusses how both Derek and Lee lived in a First Nation community. The report discusses the particular First Nations community and the lifestyles that pertained in the community. This illustrates encoding by putting emphasis on the First Nations ethnicity and their

Pauline Oliveros composed a piece titled "Sound Patterns." Some of its traditional musical techniques that we are used to is the polyphonic texture and the A Capella voices. It also uses a form that we are quite familiar with Sonata form.Milton Babbitt composed a piece titled "Ensembles For Synthesizer." We here the manipulation of tones and pitches in what is called a 12-tone technique. I believe that an artists tends to create music such as the ones listed above to expand our mind set on our belief of the musical world and its aspects. It gives them the opportunity show us a whole new world of things like dynamics, rhythm, timbre, and much more. An open-minded listener could experience this as a whole new aspect to view the world of music.

Barabas stands out because of his differences. The fact that he is rich, Jewish, and secretive alienates him from Christian Maltese society. Initially, Barabas's only motivation is money. Gradually, however, he grows to loathe his Christian enemies and notions of vengeance begin to consume him. The protagonist goes on a killing spree and murders an entire convent of nuns, along with his daughter, his slave, two young men, two priests, a pimp, and a prostitute. It becomes apparent that Barabas kills because of desire and not because of need. Although the narrator suggests in the Prologue that Barabas is a Machiavellian—Machevill states that his "money was not got without my means"mdash;in reality Barabas has little in common with the real political

The composition I like best was string quintet no. 2 in g major op 111 compose in 1890 by Johannes Brahms which was one of the last compositions he ever created and appear, I like this composition because it was very dynamic. Brahms provided the quintet’s five members ensemble the capability to achieve delicate chamber texture as well as quasi-symphonic textures. The Allegro’s development section flourishes upon the polyphonic possibilities of the medium, beginning quietly in B flat but breeding an unusually intensive exploration of the first subject’s

El problema que se le plantea a Bob Knowlton, jefe de proyectos de LABORATORIOS SIMMONS, es si la entrada de un nuevo miembro en su equipo de trabajo, de aparente gran capacidad intelectual, compensa el desmembramiento que se empieza a producir en el equipo, que venía liderando con buenos resultados.
