    Music has been invariably elucidated throughout history altering the definition of what is considered melodic, and revolutionizing the manner in which pieces are composed and one of the most prominent periods of musical transformations was the 17th century. It was during these influential times in which music was subjected to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, both signifying turbulent times for the church and both fundamental in the salvation of polyphonic musical composition as we know it today.

Fantasia No. 13 is a piece scored for chordophones, most particularly a string quartet with double bass, the arrangement…

    Immediately to “Black Theology and Black Power”, Cone writes and publishes “A Black Theology of Liberation”. There, he reflects his deep commitment to the black struggle for justice from the perspective of Christian theology, which helps African American to recognize that the gospel of Jesus is not only consistent with their struggle for liberation but has a meaning central to the twentieth century America. “Racism is a disease that perverts human sensitivity and distorts the intellect”. He accuses white theology of being racist and using this as a theological justification of the status quo. Here, Cone admits that his style of doing theology is more influenced by Malcolm X than for…

    As a child I’ve grown up hearing the vibrations of tower bells ringing and the smell of incense that would surround the church, when that occurred I knew I would be reunited with my creator, yet again. As I begin to walk towards the church I began to notice such monumental door look down at me, once I extended my hand to greet the door I walked in. As my foot caressed the church floor the Holy Spirit entered me as I did the sign of the cross, the Holy Spirit was anxious to see its son, my soul. On this Sunday morning I knew that those around me would become by brothers and sisters, and that we would harmonize as a family. The culture of Hispanic Catholics has formed the backbone for Hispanic culture, and has impacted my personal life by refining my mentality.…

    For years I have listened to Spanish and Latin America music as it’s rhythms, beats, and tones place me into a state of happiness, and find myself daydreaming of foreign lands traveled stirring up good memories while, mind mapping a trip to Cuba in the near. Reviewing the syllabus as to prepare for this Spanish class, it was a relief to find the magic bullet number sixty nine seizing the desire or need to look any further. This last project coincidently, is my final class prior to graduation; I am left with mixed feelings of happiness and sadness much like the songs sung by the Buena Vista Social Club. Music dates as far back in time to sixty thousand years B.C. and was created or discovered by indigos tribes known as folk music. Music…

    Bach’s three sets of six suites for keyboard, titled Partitas, French Suites, and English Suites have caused specialists to fruitlessly comb each set for some sense of distinct national characteristics. It was the publishers, however, not Bach, who provided the titles and Bach’s original manuscripts are lost. The English Suites, or Suites pour les Anglois, for example, were published with this name after Bach’s death. The basic style of Baroque suites, including Bach’s instrumental suites, was essentially French.…
