The sonata begins softly but with unmistakable energy. The trill like sixteenth notes on the third beat of this motif surge the piece forward into the next bar. The two bar motif appears again, and is then varied and

The development starts very similarly to the exposition with the first violin part once again playing the sunrise theme with the only differences being the distribution of the motifs ‘x’ and ‘y’ (The opening sunrise theme of the exposition was in the order of motif ‘y-x-x’ then ‘x-x-y’ compared to the opening

When listening to Hildegard’s piece, my temporary state of mind becomes more serene and spiritual (Mood). The piece creates an atmosphere that helps me forget about my troubles and gives me hope. Because the song sounds like something you would hear if you were to go to church to worship, it makes me think of religion; Specifically being at church (Imagery). As I listened and closed my eyes, I could picture myself sitting in church and looking at the light that passes through the stained glass windows. Hildegard’s piece reminds me of waking up on

In the piece the performing force were for sure the clarinet, played by Rich Moore, and piano, played by Philip Spencer. In the beginning it sounded very elegant and peaceful. It gave the feeling of being submerged in nature on a sunny and warm day. The mood of this was definitely happy and joyful. Further along the viola, played by Jackie Moore, make an appearance and it seems to be in conflict with the clarinet. It felt like a fight between good, portrayed by the clarinet, and bad portrayed by the viola. This completely changed the mood from joyful to suspenseful and dangerous. The piano, during this part, felt like the narrator of the “battle”. The tone color changed a bit from the beginning from warm and smooth to warm still but added a bit of coldness with the viola added. Throughout the rest of the piece it was a lot of back and forth, but it seemed to come to an end when both the viola and clarinet come to a happy ending. The texture of the composition was, for the most part, entirely was polyphonic with at times homophonic, an example was in the beginning with the piano and clarinet. Since this was composed in 1786, in the classical era, the rhythm had sudden changes and gradual increases and decreases in energy especially during the “battle” between the viola and

The music starts off contemplating what looks like the northern lights above some glaciers. The string instruments show off the beauty of the wildlife and nature in this setting. The dynamic, starting off as mezzo piano, goes to a piano with a new trumpet sound. On the screen, whales and birds and all sorts of wildlife enjoying their life, and the music shows this by giving a happy, joyful mood. As the whales continue to fly, the music gets more suspenseful until there is only the sound of a base and piano. The darkness on the screen and the mood of the music, in a minor key, say that something happened. A whale is lost in a cave, and the desperate mood of violins say that there was a mistake and something terrible happened. But as the whale reaches the end of the cave, he can see his mother. However, there is a wall between them, and that moment of

The repetition in the middle of the fourth movement strongly expresses the main idea as it is an effort to make the listener become attentive. The texture of this movement may seem overbearing but it pulls the piece together as a whole. The orchestra’s dominating sound emphasizes the piece’s tonic key being D Major as it should in the last part of any sonata-allegro

If an artist is going to express his or her beliefs, the artist wants to express it with emotion. Christian artists recognize the emotion that the love of God has, and the feelings they have for God. Through music, they can express that emotion to other people. When people listen to Christian music, or worship through song, there is an emotional presence, which is the presence of God. It’s a loving presence, that’s strong in many ways. A worship leader from South Carolina, Bethany H., describes the experience she had. Bethany says she, “sat there like a bump on a log, watching the worship team like they were performers.” (Wittenberg) It was when the worship leader began singing, Storm All Around You, that her feelings changed. She describes the experience, saying that, “the room was electric. The power and presence of God was so strong.” (Wittenberg) She says it “was a defining moment” for her. (Wittenberg) It brought her, “back to life.” (Wittenberg) Even if we do not feel like worshiping, the emotion of a song can help us connect once again and bring us back into praising. The emotion music evokes is inspiring, and can make one aware of God’s

These songs are usually the ones where we hear from God about the things affecting our lives or the people around our lives. The words in these songs can be very convicting and make you think of the things you’ve done that day and how you could’ve changed the way you acted in certain situations. A simple way to look at this music is that these songs can be played by one person and their

The 1st movement is in sonata form. The slow introduction to this symphony is unusual in that it begins in the subdominant key - E minor, solemnly introduced by the bassoons. It modulates into B minor and the tempo increases for the principal subject. This theme is elaborated and developed, and a march-like motif forms a bridge passage leading to a climax. The strings then introduce an amorous, song-like second subject in D major. The development section enters with a bang. This section brings no startling thematic growth or transformation, but is

The words of Jesus "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal and I will raise him on the last day" recall our hope for eternal life in Christ.

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?
