that, Kandinsky’s composition VII is a combination of the resurrection of the Christ, The last judgement, and The Garden of Love in an operatic outburst of pure painting.

The Middle Ages, contrary to its name, was a dynamic period of innovations. Throughout this period, visual arts were employed to communicate important messages to the public as well as private wealthy patrons. A variety of mediums were used to disseminate ideas. Though, the sense of decorum shifted, the purpose of these moralizing images of religious figures remained the same. Art was, as it still is an extremely useful and powerful tool for both religious and political advancements. The two pieces to be considered in this paper were created using scenes from the life of Christ. Themes from the old and new testaments were frequently used in art of the Middle Ages to convey important messages to a largely illiterate populous, display the

The inclusio may frame either the beginning and end of the book or work in its entirety; or it may frame the beginning and end of a section of the work. The outline of the Gospel in it’s most basic form follows an inclusio style bracketing. First the Prologue of the Gospel, including for the most part, Chapter 1. Then, a section of testimony of the signs of Jesus, followed by the testimony of his eventual death and resurrection. Finally, an epilogue and conclusion in Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. In this outline, it can be seen that what is at the beginning is balanced by what is in the conclusion. In addition to these literary structures, John’s narrative style provides a clean and effective method of investigation of the life of Jesus. This method is accomplished by a well crafted Plot movement throughout the entire Gospel.

In the Insufferable Gaucho, the author shows an important issue, how the society at that time does not value faults and intolerance toward outcasts of society. The human nature always focuses on another’s faults. The people who disqualified and ignored these outcasts do not know who these people really are. The author clarifies that the results of going against the social standards are being forced into a stressful condition and behaving worse than they would if they had been permitted to stay in the society.

As a young adult, Malotte left Philadelphia. He worked mostly as an organist for movie houses and an organ teacher. At one point, having spent all his money and having no plans, he needed to ask his father for money for his train fare to return home to Philadelphia. It was during this train ride, while reflecting on his own situation as well as the biblical account of the prodigal son and the words of the Lord’s Prayer that he came up with the idea of his most famous composition. Although for years it remained nothing more than an idea.

The play we witnessed “Jesus Hopped The “A” Train”, written by Stephen Adly Guirgis, is about two inmates named Angel Cruz and serial-killer Lucuis Jenkins, in New York’s Riker’s Island prison. The play consist of a very strong usage of foul language which I was overwhelmed of; however, the storyline was captivating and inspirational for the most part. Some universal themes are redemption, hopeless, and despair. This play consist of one’s believe of God and religion and legitimacy with what needs to be served. What inspired Guirgis to write this play was based on his past life experiences. The play “Jesus Hopped The “A” Train” contains contrast themes like custody and freedom, guilty and innocent, and good versus bad.

Schoettle and Sivak (2015) presented an analysis of the potential for reduced vehicle ownership within households based on sharing of completely self-driving vehicles that employ a “return-to home” mode, acting as a form of shared family or household vehicle. An examination of the latest U.S. National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) data shows a general lack of trip overlap between drivers within a majority of households, opening up the possibility for a significant reduction in average vehicle ownership per household based on vehicle sharing. This reduction in ownership and an accompanying shift to vehicle sharing within each household, in the most extreme hypothetical scenario, could reduce average ownership rates by 43%, from 2.1 to 1.2 vehicles

The whirling strength, the impelling dynamism that characterize this masterpiece full of drama and pathos are striking. Nevertheless the whole presentation appears coherent and balanced. The grunting, pushing, pulling, and lifting from the men to raise the cross showed great strength, movement, and endurance to perform the task that caused “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” to ask Almighty God to forgive them due to lack of knowledge.

Psalm 24 is performed by a tenor solo, SATB chorus, harp, organ, brass, and timpani. The introduction of part A is equal to a keg of musical dynamite (made of the organ, timpani, and brass) exploding while causing listeners to look for the appearance of French knights on horseback. Pianissimo is thrown into the moat of silence by the thundering brass accompanied by rolling timpani and bellowing organ. Following this fortissimo introduction, verse one consists of French horns supporting the syllabic melody of the French tenors and basses with alternating fanfares. The second verse has the same melody dependent on the vocal parts of the French.

The motivation behind this paper is to uncover the Gospel's sub-genre of illustrations, also known as parables, how they are utilized as a part of the Bible, and how they have been translated throughout the years in metaphorical structures and in a solitary point. Adherents can specify, “Everybody realizes that Jesus as often as possible educated in anecdotes.” The undertaking of translating a story turns out to be so considerably more straightforward when its setting is analyzed to find the occasions that hinted at the illustration being stated, the motivation behind why the anecdote was told, and the impact it had on the first group of onlookers. On the off chance that we approach allegorical parts of the Bible, similar to illustrations, purposeful anecdotes, and sorts with alert and treat their setting with full regard then we will abstain from making numerous interpretive mistakes.

It could be argued the arias, no. 13, “Aria Ach Mein Sinn” and no. 24 “Aria Eilt, ihr angefochtne Seelen” are used to promote the Lutheran ideas and cause the listener to be influenced by the Lutheran tradition. It is clear that Bach uses a number of musical techniques such as fortspinnung which help the listener reflect on the story of Jesus with the singer. Bach’s use of dialogue also helps convey Lutheran ideas of community. Throughout this essay, I will discuss how the time of the music corresponds with the time of the story, the viewpoints which Bach is trying to present and the listener’s response. By looking at some music critics’ analysis such as Laurence Dreyfus and Michael Marissen, it will become clearer as to how Bach used certain techniques to represent his own beliefs at the time and what his possible intentions were when composing his St John Passion.

Faithful followers of our congregation, long have I spoken of the danger of complacentcy, of sin, of appetence, of divine status, the list goes on. However, it is my duty, as shepherd of our flock, to warn you of the severity of matters of artistic endeavor. For God not only oversees your interaction of the world around you, but how you interpret this interaction into music. Music is a pathway to the soul. Shouldn't it be paved in love for our lord and savior?

Bach’s chorus no. 27, ‘Lasset Uns den neicht zereilen’, from the John Passion is at the point in the biblical narrative where four soldiers sit at the foot of the cross and divide and cast lots for Jesus clothes. Throughout this chorus, we see what Bernard Chazelle called “sound imagery” , we become aware of the significance of the seamless coat to the Christian religion through the music and it could be argued that Bach has the desire to create a sense of fulfilment in the same way that each of the gospel writers had.

This piece is styled after the Syriac Dialogue Poems. Syriac authors to transform a dispute or just a dialogue between two people used this style. Most commonly used characters were between Biblical individuals. These poems originated from the Syrians in the fifth and sixth centuries. However, the Mesopotamians used them in the latter third and second century BC this is where the roots originated. The Mesopotamian poems were written in Sumerian and Akkadian These poems are generally portrayed as a conversation, usually imaginative, between two people to relay an idea or an opinion. The purpose of such works is believed to be making a point. By adding or deleting aspects of a story and/or conversation, therefore enticing questions or dialogues between people. Consequently, this seemed to be the perfect instrument for my purpose. This remix is simply an imagination run wild, using the voices of actual characters of the Bible. The facts are authentic nonetheless; the words are this author’s only.

In the poem “The Journey of the Magi”, T.S. Elliot describes the journey the three magi took to see the birth of Jesus in the Bible. The first section details the world before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and what the speaker likes about that life. While using symbolic allusions to guide the reader through Jesus’s life, the following stanza examines Christ’s death, and the end of the suffering that the crucifixion brings. The final stanza describes the way the speaker feels when he realizes that he is more thankful for the death of this King and the change that it brings than Jesus’s birth and life. The magi decided that he would rather die than witness the upheaval of culture the newborn baby will bring. T.S. Eliot portrays these events and ideas by the use of imagery, allusion, and reflection.
