Luigi Rossi was employed in the Borghese court in Rome in 1620. The seventeenth century in Rome marked an increase in the level of musical productivity. Some of the finest musicians including Frescobaldi, Marlo Mazzocchi, Savioni and Carissimi were active in Rome at this time. Another incredibly important patron of Rossi was Antonio Barberini who was very impressed by Rossi’s works. Rossi’s music circulated in France in the early 1640s as well. In 1641, Ottavio Castelli sent Cardinal Richelieu a copy of Ferito un cavaliere, (a Wounded Knight) recommending it to Jules Mazarin. This piece was composed by Rossi as a lament of the Queen of Sweden set to a text by Fabio della Corgna, where the Queen Maria Eleanora

After reading Paulo Freire text on “the ‘banking’ concept of education”, it made me recall my situation in primary and secondary school as a child where we will all sit in class and “listen meekly” (Freire, 216;216) and we were filled with fear whenever we were around those who taught us (respect). This made me to see why Freire was so bold about this “concept” (Freire, 216). He sees this concept as the necessary evil this is because it causes division in the society between the teacher and the student. This is so because the teachers opinion of the student is that the student knows nothing. In this essay I will be addressing both sides of the argument if the “banking” concept is has value as a concept and whether it should be used

A Philadelphia naïve, Phil Robinson’s father and mother introduced him to fashion as an adolescent, particularly the importance of presenting himself in a classy stylish way. Growing from boys to men, my brother and I received daily lectures on looking well-kept and well groomed. Style is in my blood, my parent’s fashion conscious mannerisms embedded in my personality. As a result, I instantly share their tips with my son, family, friends and now my community. My motto, “you can’t teach, if you never been taught”. Fortunately, I can combine my passion for helping children and my enjoyment for fashion to create a positive movement.

The sculpture of “David”, standing 5’7” tall, sculpted by Bernini shows a scene from the Old Testament. The Israelites were at war with the Philistines using their weapon, Goliath. David had just taken up the challenge of fighting the giant, and was about to slay Goliath with a stone from his sling. The sculpture captures David as he launches the stone at the giant Goliath. The placement of the sculpture and attention to muscular composition allows for a lot of movement, with David bending at the waist and his arms twisted to one side, causing folding amongst his clothes. David’s clothing twisting around his body shows the power David is putting behind the stone. Below him is his armor. His face is full of emotion and he seems more human like.

“Everything always comes together to make a great show,” said Sara Bayles. The cast can’t wait for everyone to come out and see it. They want to show off all the hard work they have put into it. The set crew and costume crew are almost ready and have put a lot of hard work into the show as well. Some of the costumes are hand made and nothing is like the crew found it. They have done work on every single piece of clothing that will be worn.

I like clothes. 3 things that could go wrong with picking out outfits is colors, length/ size, or patterns. Picking colors that match look better or if you were going to a party or celebration, wearing a dress with 1 color is the best decision to go with. Lengths’ also matter, never wear anything to short or to long for your comfort. Or if the piece of clothing is too tight or too loose. Patterns are the most important when picking outfits, a lot like color the pattern(s) should match or at least compliment each other. Just like an outfit can look ugly or messy, so can an empire.

Cesare Borgia was a famous politician and cardinal in Italy, but his rise to power is controversial because of the immorality that was necessary to get to that position. Cesare Borgia is mentioned many times in The Prince by Niccoló Machiavelli because of the discussion of whether it is appropriate to achieve goals by immoral means. Before passing judgment on Cesare Borgia it’s important to be aware of all the immoral actions he took over his lifetime.

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves. Not only is fashion the reflection of self-image but also the reflection of our history as Coco Channel have said, “Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion

After reading the playwright Anna in the Tropics, I decided to take on the role of being a costume designer. Through taking on the position, there were serval obstacles I had to overcome such as the clothing style, character choices, as well as placing the costumes together.

‘style, branding, colour and fashionability’ of the clothing as a tool for the audience to

In his formative years, Giorgio De Chirico constructed worlds within his paintings that were devised to defamiliarize his audience from reality and to depart from the purely observational. In The Melancholy and Mystery of a Street, his implementation of confounding compositional techniques such as unreliable perspective, strong value, unsettling color, and idiosyncratic movement created recognizable images within a distorted reality. This was a practice in which he could draw a viewer into the unease of unfaithful perceptibility and cultivate surreptitious emotional responses, such as anxiety and foreboding.

A theme which the novel heavily expressed was the oppression of the Soviet citizens by their totalitarian government. Under the harsh rule of the secret police, citizens who the regime suspected of committing crimes were unceremoniously taken and forced to confess to their wrongdoings under torturous conditions. One of the depictions of such a system taking place in The Master and Margarita was the arrest of Nikanor Ivanovich, who the police suspected to have speculated in foreign currency. He was framed by Woland’s accomplice Korovyov, who turned the bribe money that he gave to Ivanovich into foreign currency. His arrest represented how the Soviet government used unethical means such as sabotage in order to remove any opposition to their regime.

Norman Dello Joio (1913-2008), one of American’s leading composers for the past four decades, successfully interweave the serious music with modern elements. In his surprisingly small amount of piano works, Sonata No.3 is a representative piano work of Norman Dello Joio. In this paper, the author will explore biography and historical background, analyses of the works, and performance consideration on this piece to illustrate the features of his music and the way how he connects traditional form with the modern elements.

He played organ for his church that he was deeply into.

As you may know fashion designers create anything that is part of a garment for men, women, and children. They understand the needs of their clients and create attractive, functional garments and accessories. When designing they must keep a close watch on fit, style, color, texture, size, and material. Designing any outfit starts with sketching and original idea on paper or on computer programs. Then shaping the patterns pieces which make the garment. The pieces are then drawn in actual size on paper and cut out on a rough material. These pieces are
