The subject of the research essay is the 2400 years of interest in The Iliad by Homer. The Iliad by Homer is regarded as foundational in literature. Plato’s critique that everything proceeding from Homer is but the crumbs of Homer continues, echoed by the modern intelligentsia. Homer has been a gateway to Greek Literature for centuries. Due to the high placement of Homer historically, and the Classical education movement, a knowledge of Greek, Homer, and Latin has become considered the epitome of education. The Iliad’s adoption into the institution of education has placed it into tradition. In his book on the history of Western education, Edward J. Power stated that Hellenistic education followed a familiar cultural doctrine, prioritising…

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor consists of three parts with five movements. The first movement “Trauermarsch” is a funeral march, followed by “Stürmisch bewegt, mit größter Vehemenz,” “Scherzo,” “Adagietto,” and “Rondo-Finale.” The tempo markings and style of the composition seem to point toward the various stages of grief. The first movement begins with a lone trumpet solo and is followed by slow, solemn support from the orchestra. The trumpet solo is strong and triumphant,…
Music Description Langsam . Schleppend (Slowly, dragging) The first movement was in modified sonata form and started off with strings playing harmonics creating a ghostly scene and then the woodwinds play a rhythm pattern. As the piece goes on, it is obvious that Mahler is trying to recreate a nature scene in his first movement. To match the dark setting that started the movement is little bits of music that poke out. An example would be, throughout the sluggish melody an awaking would call…
Formally, the first movement of the Quintet is of considerable interest. The interest is generated not by a problem in determining the overall form, for that is clearly sonata form. Rather, it is in determining the exact location of the main sections and subsections within the sonata form. The sections which will most concern our discussion are the introductions, the exposition and the developmental section. I say introductions as plural as it appears actually be two sections of music. These two…

His music provides insight into what happened during the transition between the Baroque and the Classical era. His compositions written in the sensitive style inspired the next generation of composers, including Haydn, Mozart and…
Music is a complex idea that can have different outcomes and experiences. We are surrounded by music every day and goes back to ancient times starting in 700 B.C.

Although “classical” is now a common term to describe instrumental music, it is actually a time period for music: mid-1700s to the mid-1800s. The most common composer and the one used in the studies ahead is Mozart. Just before that, from…
