Telemann was becoming equally adept both at composing and performing, teaching himself flute, oboe, violin, recorder, double bass, and other instruments. In 1701 he graduated from the Gymnasium and went to Leipzig to become a student at the Leipzig University, where he intended to study law. He ended up becoming a professional musician, regularly composing works for Nikolaikirche and even St. Thomas (Thomaskirche). In 1702 he became director of the municipal opera house Opernhaus auf dem Brühl, and later music director at the Neukirche. Prodigiously productive, Telemann supplied a wealth of new music for Leipzig, including several operas, one of which was his first major opera, Germanicus. However, he became engaged in a conflict with the cantor of the Thomaskirche, Johann Kuhnau. The conflict intensified when Telemann started employing numerous students for his projects, including those who were Kuhnau's, from the

Red Rodney was a famous trumpeter and bandleader in the 20th century. He was born in Philadelphia on the 27th of September 1927 and was known as a child prodigy when he was young (Voce, 2011). At the beginning, Red Rodney taught himself the trumpet and later he went to a school named “Jules E. Masterbaum Vocational” in his hometown Philadelphia to study trumpet (Schwab, 2010). Red started playing with Jerry World Orchestra only at the age of 15 and then he also played with Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey and Gene Krupa (Chesky Records, n.d.). Red’s life was changed because of Dizzy Gillespie, who was Red’s hero when he was a teenager. Red was able to play a gig with Dizzy Gillespie one time at the Down Beat Club and he left Dizzy a lasting impression.
Caesar Rodney, the first of the delegation from Delaware, was a native of that state, and was born about the year 1730. His birth-place was Dover. The family, from which he was descended, was of ancient date, and is honorably spoken of in the history of early times. We read of Sir Walter De Rodeney, of Sir George De Rodeney, and Sir Henry De Rodeney, with several others of the same name, even earlier than the year 1234. Sir Richard De Rodeney accompanied the gallant Richard Coeur de Lion in his crusade to the Holy Land, where he fell, while fighting at the siege of Acre.
Clendinnen explains why the captor wore the victim’s chalk and down of his kin and why he cried for the victim. She says that the captor did this because the captive was going to die a lonely death among strangers, since he was from outside Tenochtitlan. Even though, the captor’s kin ate from the captive, the captor didn’t do so, because he said he wouldn’t eat “his own flesh” since he too would probably die on the stone and others will eat his flesh in another city. Also, she interprets that the Aztecs didn’t necessarily believe that their were killing the warrior as he was before the rituals. Instead, all the preparation that had gone into this day, from the cutting of the warrior lock to the mock heart excisions, had made him more sacred, and changed him from a warrior into a victim. Once the warrior lock of hair was cut, it was believed that the warrior made his
“Although 8,398 Iowans died during World War II, the death of the University of Iowa's only Heisman Trophy winner shook the state like no other wartime tragedy.” Although College Football ranked him as the ninth greatest college football player of all time, Nile Kinnick is perhaps best remembered, as Charles Bullard summed up in The Des Moines Register, for his strength of character and his sacrifice to his country (Lidd).

George Frideric Handel is generally considered the second most important Baroque composer after Bach. Unlike Bach's nearly complete focus on church music in Germany, Handel more openly embraced the French, Italian, and English secular music. Also unlike Bach, Handel did not come from a long line of musicians. When he was born on February 23, 1685, Handel's family had no idea that he would rise to a legendary status in music. Handel's father began to see his son's desire to compose at an early age and violently objected. His mother was responsible for nurturing and continuing his musical education. At the age of seven, Handel was asked to give an organ recital for the Duke of Sachse-Weissenfels. The Duke was very impressed and awarded the family with a generous amount of money. This event persuaded his father to allow Handel to pursue his musical career. When his father died in1697, Handel was freed from his father's will. He studied with numerous organists and gained minor fame.

Johann Sebastian Bach was born into a family of musicians. It was only natural for him to pick up an instrument and excel in it. His father taught him how to play the violin and harpsichord at a very young age. All of Bach’s uncles were professional musicians, one of them; Johann Christoph Bach introduced him to the organ. Bach hit a turning point in his life when both of his parents died at the age of ten years old. Bach’s older brother Johann Christoph Bach took him in and immediately expanded his knowledge in the world of music. He taught him how to play the clavichord and exposed him to great composers at the time. At the age of fourteen, Bach and his good friend George Erdmann were awarded a choral scholarship to the prestigious
Tertullian brings up the point of how God’s word was turned into flesh. His flesh was Jesus. Jesus came in the form of a human. However, he wants to make it clear that transformation turns into something else and ceases to exist, but not when it comes to God. He concludes that God’s word remains forever and continues in the same form.
Carl Reinecke (pronounced: r AY n ih k ee) was born in Altona in Hamburg, Germany. His early studies took place with his father Johann Reinecke who was a music teacher.

Reinecke later studied under such as Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt. Among his own students were Edvard Grieg and Max Bruch. Reinecke was appointed court pianist for the King of Denmark, Christian VIII, while still in his early twenties. He later became a professor at Cologne Conservatory and throughout the years assumed various positions as musical director, conductor and
Gustav Mahler was born in Kalisce, Bohemia on July 7th 1860 to Bernhard and Marie Mahler. He was born into a modest home as his family was not of royal descent. After the Jewish Emancipation allowing Jewish people of Europe the freedom to move, his family moved to the nearby town of Iglau, halfway between Vienna and Prague. Here he grew up amongst band concerts and parades, both of which he was deeply connected to. At the age of four, he got an accordion and his family noted how quickly he could learn to play familiar songs. He began learning the piano at the age of six and by the time he was ten years old, he gave his first public recital. Gustav’s parents noted this talent and sent him to audition for a place at the Vienna Conservatory in 1875. After being accepted, he spent three years learning theory and composition before he left.
George Frideric Handel was born in Halle, Germany on February 23, 1685. He expressed an interest in music at an early age. While his mother encouraged this love of music, his father, George Handel, was not supportive of him pursuing music as a career, and pushed him towards a career in law. However, when Handel was 9, a duke heard him playing the organ and persuaded his father to let Handel study under Friedrich Zachow (the organist at the Liebfrauenkirche at Halle) who instructed him in the organ as well as composing. Handels’ father died when he was 12, leaving him as the only son of that marriage. This put more responsibility on Handel to maintain his family, but it also relieved most of the objection of his music studies. In
