Baroque music

Johann Sebastian Bach was the last baroque in Germany. Bach was born in March 21st,1685 in Eisenach,Thuringia in Germany. He died in the evening on July 28th,1750, after a quater to nine, in the 65th year of his life. Bach was buried in St.John’s cementery which stood one block outside the town’s Grimma Gate in the absence of any tombstone his grave was soon forgotten. The bones were laid to rest in a stone sarcophagus next to the poet Gellert in the vaults of the Johanniskirche, and many people

Is Renaissance Music Influential? Many different things are influential in many different ways. Whether it be how the sinking of the Titanic caused many changes in the regulations of ships, or how Newton’s law of universal gravitation helped to inspire Einstein’s theory of general relativity. As well as catastrophic events and scientific laws, works in the field of music have also been influential. For example, Jacques Offenbach’s Infernal Galop was used as the music for the Can-can, a popular dance

Uga Chorus/Glee Club/Collegium Musicum/British Brass Band/Symphony Orchestra The Uga holiday concert on December 4, 2015 was an extremely successful event, with a sold out concert hall and classic performances by a brass, string, and multiple vocal ensembles. Many classic works such as A Christmas Carol, A Hymn to the Virgin, and Feliz Navidad were performed at this concert which largely contributed to its success. One of my favorite pieces performed at the holiday concert was A Christmas Festival

An instrument is a tool of music. Just like all tools it allows us to assemble pieces, in the case of music it allows us to build song. Some instruments can be very subtle and soft and quite melodic such as a woodwind, where as there are also instruments that are very powerful, such as a trumpet and become the heart of a song or symphony. But I believe there is only one instrument that can be both subtle and also be powerful. Belonging the family of chordophones, the guitar, is my personal preference

Cultural Artifacts My first work is "La Primavera" written by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. “La Primavera” is one of four violin concertos, each capturing moods and illustrating stories related to a specific time of year. Each section within this movement illustrate the most beautiful scenes of the spring season, including birds, babbling brooks, and a thunderstorm. (Soomo). My second work is an oil on canvas painting, titled “The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” by Thomas Moran.

Music is built on a very sophisticated foundation that is expressed through a variety of technicalities and rules. As an art form, music has survived through many era’s that have evolved genre’s and sounds into its culture. The ages of music that were most prominent included the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern era’s. Within these years (1600-1900’s) music was distinguished for separate motives, audiences, and demands. Chamber music for example, was created for small audiences in the nobility

George Frederic Handel, one of the greatest composers of the late baroque period. He was born February 24, 1685 in Halle, Saxony, Germany. Handel's parents were very religious and highly respected people since his dad worked as barber-surgeon. His father really wanted his son to study civil law, and in 1702, Handel started studying law. However, everyone around saw him as a genius musician. When Frederic was only eleven, he was already playing a pipe organ. He also learned to play the violin, clavichord

orchestration remains expressive and lush through means of written rubato and a vast array of instruments rarely paired together in a symphonic setting. Taking great influence from his teachers but still remaining independent, Ravel turned classical music on its head and constantly pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved by performers in the 20th century.

Evolution of the Motet Throughout the history of music, there have been few styles that not only have opened doors to masterwork compositions in their own genres, but have also led the way to other musical techniques over the musical eras and one of these magical music styles is the motet. The motet can easily be confused with other musical structures but what separates the motet from other types of group-performance based styles of music is "a piece of music in several parts with words."1 This is the

Introduction: In the classical period most people only described the 18th century music as classical music (style) but it was carefully divided between 3 main styles namely the Gallante style, the Empfindsam style and Sturm und Drang and finally the Classical style. Later during the 17th century the music styles became more important and because of the large number of instrumental players in the orchestra and most of the growth took place in the orchestra field. The first genre that came to rise
