or fatigue ( Jones, Andrew M. and Koppo, Katrien and Burnley, Mark, 2003). One of the factors thought to have influence on the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit is the effect of pedalling cadences or different set of revolution per minute. However, the results contradict that assumption as the pedaling cadence does not affect the expression of anaerobic capacity (Hill, D. , & Vingren, J., 2012).…
Have you ever been asked where your top travel destination is? If you were to ask me that I would say either Fiji or Tahiti. I have always been fascinated with the blue oceans, sandy beaches, and relaxed culture. All cultures are affected by multiple concepts, the Fijian culture is greatly impacted by dance and music, by the specifics of the Meke, and by the movement of the Meke. In Fiji, the impact of dance and music is tremendous on the people. “A community whose very culture is grounded in…
you go, the easier it is to balance. Controlling a moving force is easier than balancing at a standstill. Developing balance is the first step in understanding the biomechanics in bicycling. Once you pass balance, the next part to understand is the cadence or the rhythm of pedaling. Keeping a good…
J.S Bach, who born in 1686 and died in 1750, was the first one who deals with contrapuntal counterpoint. Today, I’m going to talk about the 1st movement & second movement of Brandenburg Concerto No.2. Brandenburg Concertos were written by Bach, while he worked at Cothen. Baroque Concerto is a small group of soloists pitted against a larger group of players called tutti, which consists mainly the string instruments, with a harpsichord as a basso continuo. 1st movement of this concerto is in…
Growth This piece is a continuous ternary form (A-B-A’). Because the end of A section does not back to the authentic cadence of the tonic key, it changed dominant key directly. The phrase length is four bars antecedent/consequent. Growth is indicated by the melody moving into a higher tessitura and added more fast articulation note, like eighth notes changed to sixteen…
Poems exists for sharing an experience, telling a story, and are precious journeys to be shared. In the poem “The Day” by Geoffrey Brock functions perfectly in this way, sharing his view of life by comparing it to a transitory plum hanging on a stem. He describes a scene of a young man trying to capture a ripe plum. He comments on the element of time and truly is a masterpiece for readers. With some similarities to a sonnet Brock raises two components in his poem about life and morality. Brock…
If Van Gogh wants to draw a hand in his painting, he would draw a thousand hands and pick one from his samples to use. On the other hand, composers uses the similar idea with Van Gogh, but they do use the samples as what we call motivic development to shape the story of symphony and manipulates the emotion of their listener. Like Brahms said in Henschel’s diary entry: “ There is no real creating without hard work.” The success of Amy Beach’s Gaelic symphony was not only because she was a women…

It begins with a drum playing a marching cadence and brass playing a pattern against it. The high woodwinds play a lament over them which begins bitter and harsh, then withdraws to a more subdued melody only to build back up, getting higher in pitch and dynamic, as the two lines join. There is a…
the first stanza whenever the passing tone G# is utilized. Whenever we see this tone used, it is for the purpose of a quick transition from C major to A minor. For example, when the protagonist is noticing the brightness of the light, an attempt to cadence in C major is used; however, the G passes through G# creating an augmented harmony (m. 15), and ends up lading back in A minor. Brahms demonstrates that it only takes one note to change a happy ending to a negative one, much like how it only…
