Sam Bass

The legend of Sam Bass has grown way out of proportion in relation to his actual deeds. A book collector claims that he has over 200 titles that deal with Sam Bass in some way (Carmack 1B). One of Round Rock’s major streets bears his name as do several businesses. Texas history has often referred to him as “Texas’ Beloved Bandit” or “Robin Hood on a Fast Horse” (Centennial Commission). In actual fact, Sam was probably more inept than brave or noble, and he appears to have never realized that robbing

Ricardo Godinez Professor Dew History of Film November 21, 2017 Wild, Wild West Intro Historical Perspective Both films were made for different reasons and made different impacts during their time of release. For Django Unchained, the film showed the horror of slavery before the civil war. Showing slaves being eaten by dogs to slaves fighting to the death, makes an unconventional film for its time and raised a lot of controversy considering the movies historical accuracy.

THEY WERE coming at her hard and fast. They’d be on her in three winks. The old woman in the café’s doorway crossed her arms on her aging breasts, bracing for them, damn them. They flew on past her; six trail-fevered Texans whooping and hollering and flogging their ponies with their hats hurtling at a pool of bright light down the street. The vortex of their passing tugged at her skirts and mussed up her fine copper hair. She waved a hand irritably at their dusty wake as they fled their slick fork

teeth that I hated and in many photos I would not smile with my teeth because I did not like the way I looked. Just like many people Sam and the narrator from The Bass, The River, Sheila Mant have something that they don't like about themselves. Sam is more insecure than the narrator from the bass the river and sheila mant because she cares what people think of her. Sam from before i fall is insecure about many things about herself. “Tomorrow I will be different” (56 Oliver). She always wants to change

The analysis of the aria “Lascia ch'io pianga” by Haendel according to the thorough bass method, shows us how the composer refer in this piece to the typical compositional procedures of baroque music. The aria starts with a pedal (frame, according to Joel Lester's terminology) followed by a cadence harmonized according the regle de l'octave both in ascending and descending motion (MM. 5-8).

Trombone has a tone a level lower than instruments that are played on treble clef. The tenor trombone is played on bass clef and others are also. The trombones have different tones, for example the bass trombone has a lower pitch than the tenor trombone. Together these instruments sound in harmony and

CHAPTER 1 ERHARD BODENSCHATZ AND THE FLORILEGIUM POTENSE Lutheran church music in its first two and a half centuries can be characterized by the incorporation of a staggering variety of styles and musical genres. Plainchant, imitative polyphony, and chorale hymnody existed alongside one another, and composers such as Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) and Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630) were among the first to synthesize elements of Monteverdi’s seconda pratica with a fully German practice.

with the utmost delicacy and without damper. From the interpretations of his instructions, it can be concluded that Beethoven wanted this movement to be interpreted with sensitivity and colour.

Penguin Ballet by Nigel Westlake was composed to focuses upon the graceful, almost ballet like movements of the penguins underwater. Whereas, Writings on the wall by Sam Smith conveys ideas and messages which will be expressed throughout the film, especially through the use of lyrics. Although positioned within the film to provide contrasting messages, both these songs use similar musical elements to support the piece

Jessica Vera 11/15/15 MUSC200 Paper 5 The song I selected is called “When you break up in a small town” by Sam Hunt. This song is 100 percent a break up song and sings about how he feels about his former girlfriend. Sam Hunt sings about how living in such a small town with his ex girlfriend is going to be very hard because with so little streets in his town he feels that no matter where he goes, he is going runs into her. They both slow down for the same curves, flip through the same radio satiations
