The Time Of The Music

The poem consists of a mixture of Christian and epic elements and has a very unique style. It represents the crucifixion as a battle and Christ as an epic hero, similar to Beowulf, which is quite different from the texts in the Bible. This contrast can be observed in the description of Jesus’ action during the crucifixion, and in the

At a period of time in the United States when the Vietnam War was rapidly escalating and gaining opposition among the younger generation, the film The Sound of Music was released. Directed by Robert Wise and released in 1965, The Sound of Music features musical numbers accompanied by the movement and dancing of the von Trapp family. The setting of the film is Salzburg, Austria in 1938 immediately following the start of German occupation due to the Anschluss. Ultimately, the reprise of “So Long, Farewell” in The Sound of Music subverts governmental authority over war by portraying a movement shift from being restricted and uniform to running away with hope of freedom.

The Classical period of music has also been called the “Rococo” period. The Classical time period was between the 18th and 19th centuries. Spanning the years of 1750-1820. The transition from the Baroque period to the Classical took the music from polyphonic to homophonic where even though it seems like that would make the music less complex we look at a whole different type of complexity. The music typically contained two different melodies and a contrast in sections. This made the chords in the music much more defined and the tonal part of the music became more defined. The Classical period had a significant influence on several aspects of music. Chamber music had a sonata form. This means it had an exposition, a transition, and a recapitulation. Composition in the Classical time was mainly dominated by eclecticism which made the music more diverse. Concerto was driven at first by the Italians. They started the idea of the solo concerto. Orchestration was mainly developed during this musical time period. This is partly due to some of the most talented musicians that lived during this time. They did a lot of work in making the orchestra mainly string instruments. Some of these being the violin, viola, cello, and the contrabass, just to name a few. All of these things had a great influence in the way the music made the transition from the Baroque period to the Classical period.

The last sentence of the poem, ““There is still murder in your heart” (14), is a powerful claim that suggests that a routine consisting of prayer, communion, or hymn singing will not dissolve the sin of the heart. However, seeing this claim from a different standpoint, this can also suggest that this dull routine is convenient when it comes to preserving an appearance of purity and grace. There is an image in the middle of the poem, “light swords” (7), that possibly represents sharp members of the congregation trying to deceive the church authorities and God. Their comfort to the routine is remarkable because it does not really make a difference at the end; the only thing that truly matters is the masked life they are trying to keep hidden. Readers may consider the arguments presented in this poem as the truth reaching out to the contemporary church and its followers to improve their relationship with

As I first examined this work, I could not focus on just one portion of it. Although each part tells its story, there it one overall explanation. As usual, I am drawn to the center of this piece which would be a man sitting in an oval like throne. With a closer look, I look at this man and see a cross behind him, with angelic figures in the background. I conclude this important

“Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.” - Johann Sebastian Bach. Born on March 21, 1685, Bach was a young instrumental prodigy, which whom took on his parents' occupation by playing the organ, violin and many other well known instruments. One of Bach's most mellifluous composed works was "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" which stunned the Duke of Weimar and his people. As like Handel, Bach started to have trouble with his sight and died of a stroke before he could see his legacy. Despite the fact of his failing eyesight, he loved God and found the best way of praising him was through song. Still to this day, Bach has been known to be one of the greatest musicians of classical

I have only recently found music history classes interesting. When I was younger, history classes- memorizing dates, learning composers’ names, and listening to “boring” music, felt like a waste of time. However, since I started my fieldwork placement in Music Therapy, I learned that with the elderly population, it is very important to have basic knowledge about their musical interests.

This proposal is for the composition of a piece for organ solo to be premiered at the Ronald G. Pogorzelski-Lester D. Yankee Memorial Organ. The proposed title of the piece is “Flowing Streams”. The title is a word game with the name of the composer and organ master J. S. Bach (which translation means creek). The mainstream of the proposed piece is to give a contemporary voice to the immortal work of the baroque composer through quotation of elements of his own music. Bach’s original elements will not be used in their own traditional baroque-tonal approach, but they will be a vehicle to tell a story under a contemporary polystylistic approach. These elements will be combined, compared, and opposed sometimes in a very converging way, another

Wozzeck, a tragic story about a soldier who suffered from cruelties portrayed by society, has music that expresses many feeling and emotions. For example, at opening the music gives a sensation of fear, anger, and suspense portrayed by the captain. As it continues, when Marie is reading the Bible, the music turns softer, holistic, and become slower paced to give an impression of worries and desperation. At the same time, when Marie is alone with Wozzeck, the music changes to express tension and a visualization of what could happen to Marie. Towards the end, the orchestra’s performance by itself gives a feeling of climax.

After this piece, they begin to sing from jesu, meine freude by J.S. BACH. It is Bach’s six original motets, was written in 1723 for the funeral of Johanna Maria Käsin, the wife of Leipzig’s postmaster. The singers present two movements in their sound in chorale melody. They sing this motet in the opening chorale and dynamic second movement. The harmony of this piece is they use of furious imitation. They try to characterize the text into their music. It sounds interesting and

The Mood of this trailer is a lot suspenful music and the picture I used for that scene was a black car witha man inside of it looking like a creepy person stocking people. Mood is what can the speaker feel about what is being written or the way the thought is being expressed. So I thought saying something about suspenful music and having a black car would do the trick because the dad took his took his kid. The second mood I picked was a spooky type well the reason I chose that is because a man in a car trying to take a kid for kidnapping is a little spooky don you think? The spooky mood is what will inspire the readers to keep wanting to read.

Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest composers in the Baroque period, Bach stands tall above many outstanding figures in the Baroque in the history of music. Among his many achievements, the most outstanding one is the “church music.” Bach’s Magnificat, BWV 243 was composed for Christmas evening prayer service. The third movement “Quia respexit” is a prayer called “Mary’s Song of Praise.” Mary’s prayer of thanks to God out of joy when she found out through an angel of the Lord while she was visiting her relative Elizabeth that she had conceived.
