Journal (Trip to France) - 2011-2012 Item No. 1 The first item in my portfolio is a journal from when my family took a trip to France. Since my dad was granted a sabbatical, our family travelled to the south of France for a year to learn French and gain cultural experience. We took this trip during the time I was in Grade 6; however, we had to take school in French instead, which was probably more difficult. I chose to add this journal because it is an accurate summary of many of the things

Music has been found in every culture in present time, as well as in the past, dating back almost 55,000 years (citation), with roots in Africa. Music is one of the most basic art forms and is a way of life for many; a means of expression relative to emotions, culture, and one’s self. Music is all around us and it’s hard to imagine going one day without listening to some variety of music. Music has evolved tremendously from prehistoric times today, but one thing’s stayed the same – one culture’s

To begin with, I feel I should take part in the staffing community of Arkanite because I ensure a large portion of qualified time as well as extreme experiences and a sincere inclination in moderating over the chat and providing the necessary satisfaction to players in need of any particular assistance. I am a person who shares a natural obligation and heavy dedication to those in need of a correct moderation. I will be there to help them with confusion/questions for hours worth of time as well!

1. For the examples in the simple meter, the solmization could be briefly divided into two groups. The first group focuses on the metrical positions. Each beat in the measure is either spoken as numbers or specific syllables, and the subdivisions are either specified with distinct different syllables (e.g. the third and fifth one) or not as precisely defined (e.g. the forth one). The second group focuses on the duration of the notes, as seen in the last 3 examples. The sixth example assigns a specific

“Psallite Hodie!” composed by Steve Kupferschmid and “My True Love Has My Heart” words by Sir Phillip Sidney and music by Laura Farnell, are two different choral arrangements. The two vary in composer, style, tempo, and key. However, these two pieces of music are similar in part arrangement and generation composed. Kupfershmid first began his music career as a trombonist. He later became a choral editor and worked as such for many years. There is not much known about him, as he is not an extremely

Even without any musical experience, there are certain chord progressions, or series of notes that we can expect to determine what the next note or chord will be. For instance, in the music section of my Perceiving the Performing Arts class, our Professor made the class, consisting of musicians and non-musicians, sing the next chord that he was going to play and we all successfully did. Just like with language, in a simple sentence we can assume the next word. Like in this sentence “the piano is

Discourse communities are all around us—we all belong to a discourse community. A discourse community is a body of persons who share common and unique modes of communication or discourse (“Discourse Community”). In order for a community to identify as a discourse community, the community must possess six defining qualities that categorize it as a discourse community. As defined by John Swales, a researcher and professor of linguistics, discourse communities “have a broadly set of common public goals

To make the poster I used a display board, cardboard paper, holographic letters, printer, google drawings, scissors, and double sided tape. First I put the letters onto cardboard paper squares and taped them to the top of the display board. Next I went on the the drawing program google drawings. In this program I created everything. From the treble clefs to the simple line I made everything using google drawings. After I created everything I printed it off and cut it out. Next I cut out pieces of

The film, Interstellar, by Nolan Christopher exhibits a story of humanity in peril, as they search for a new sustainable world. This film is embedded with elements of various genres; grouping the film into more than one category. The aspects of adventure, mystery, and realism that is incorporated with space travel captivates the viewers. The New York Post calls the film, "one of the most exhilarating film experiences so far this century”. The film’s music composition is one of the many factors that

Ludwig Van Beethoven’s monumental “9th Symphony” was his crowning achievement from his long career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwpbcL8Fmdc is the link to view the concert! This piece was highly controversial, and most people at the time had thought Beethoven had finally gone mad when the truth is, he was just going deaf. While attention tends to focus on the choral finale, the opening of the work is every bit as momentous. He immediately established the key, which served as a logical bridge
