On December 5, 2015 I attended the Living Christmas Tree. The play was held at Park Avenue Baptist Church located on 900 Park Ave in Mt Vernon, IL. The play started at 7 pm and lasted for an hour and a half. The entire time the church was filled with holiday spirit in preparation for the approaching Christmas day. The church was filled with people, there was not a seat left in the house. The church pews on the ground floor and the balcony were packed tightly with audience members. The…
How did the African slaves sent to America maintain aspects of their culture? Throughout the years, Africans have undergone a dramatic change in terms of how they are viewed in society (this is a movement still ongoing today in America). During the 1800s, the slave trade brought many millions of Africans, primarily from West Africa, to North and South America, where they were owned by, and forced to work for the wealthy. Despite the tough conditions that the African slaves were forced to…
First, it contributes to a greater sense of realism in the viewer. Sound originating from a source within the world of the scene does not indicate does as certainly as music from a non-diegetic source. Secondly, it can indicate information to the viewer. As the source of the music comes from within the universe of the characters, the music’s presence can be related to things within that universe, very relevantly to the characters themselves. In the same way that knowledge of someone’s musical…
Lasting from 1750-1825, the classical period is known as the Age of Enlightenment. This is a cultural characteristic of this era because society thought differently of themselves. They considered themselves to be free from the limitations of the Middle Ages. In addition, some people began to believe God was more of a controller over nature, than mankind. The art form of rococo was rising. Artists were finding interest in capturing the Greek and Roman themes in their works. As for a society…
percolating piano accompaniment. The second theme, equally spacious, is more reflective. A mysterious, step-like passage leads to an efficient development of all this material, the movement concluding with a heroic statement of the opening melody, now emphasizing its very faint Hungarian twist at the end. The second movement, marked "Ruhig bewegt," features slow, expansive horn melodies, their romantic potential undermined by the piano 's alternation between busy accompaniment and firm tread,…
The observational method allowed me to observe a consumer’s actual behaviour rather than the ideal behaviour prescribed by society. The consumers, as a result, were honest in their actions and decisions. The observational method was an ideal way to ease me, a novice in anthropology, into the area of field research. We were instructed to use the non-participant field research method where I was required to observe what consumers did in a natural context without interfering. I felt this was very…
This musical work contains four instrumental parts with the highest instrumental part doubled by a soprano voice embellishing that part. “Thus scored, for one singer, an instrumental accompaniment Dalle Piu Alte Sfere is, what the locals would have called a frottola, a homophonic accompanied song” (L11, 19:06). The text sung solo is clearly heard and understood to welcome the couple to the ceremony. “The madrigal-like word painting notwithstanding…
celbrity on purpose, it is his personality. For example, he speaks on personal categories rather than legal categories and some may mistake this as a personal relationship, when it is a way to all learn together as persons. He also has an ethic of accompaniment and…
A vocable is described as a song with “syllables that do not translate into a specific word”(i.e La, Lee, Dum, Dee, Da, etc). Vocables are very popular in intertribal, inter-nation, pan-triable, pan-nation, songs, which are songs that are targeted to large group of nations (i.e AIM Song) Since they are not written in a specific language, they can be sung, and given meaning by all nations. This kind of music makes up a large part of music culture from many First Nations tribes throughout Canada…
Sand Point Students Take the Lead Honoring Indigenous Legend “The things that we do on land affect the things that live in the water.” This poignant message was the underlying thread of hope presented by the youth of Sand Point Elementary at their production of “Salmon Boy.” On June 3 in the auditorium of Eckstein Middle School, the culminative culminating work of the full Sand Point Elementary school body was on display during a night of singing, dancing and storytelling to bring the legend…
