Fugue

piano. Since the concert was held in the auditorium the sound was evenly distributed for everyone to enjoy. The concert was very organized which lead to a pleasurable experience. The singers performed (Shenandoah, When I Fall In Love, Geographic Fugue, “Make Our Garden Grow” from Candide, and Gospel Mass), and at the end of the concert the performers invited us to sing along with them in Christmas Carols. I really enjoyed the sing along at the end of the concert because…

Musical instruments have been around for hundreds of years. Not only have the human voices been used as instruments, but there have been manufactured items that have been made to produce sound. Throughout many eras of music, these instruments have been changed many times, mostly to improve the sound or quality of the sound. There is one particular instrument that has been around for a very long time that has been changed many times. This instrument is the organ. Organs can be very large…

The next week, I was so eager to learn something new. The psychiatrist announced that it was the military week. This implies that he would spend long hours interacting with them because they were new clients. He needed to get good and solid information about every one of them. Most of the clients who worked in the military or who fought in the military, suffered from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). The professor in the abnormal psychology textbook, noted that the diagnostic criteria for…

Berlioz’s model of the Requiem Mass is considered to be the first true Romantic-era model. He had included elements from the traditional Requiem Mass, for example the Dies Irae, Tuba Mirum, Rex tremendae and Lacrymosa sections including the text. However, his version of Requiem was greatly different from that of previous Classical models. Berlioz’s work was more theatrical than for service, proving to include secular settings in a sacred frame, as he contrasted the loud and peaceful movements,…

composer but was known for his skill on the organ and his teaching. That has certainly changed over the centuries as Bach is now mostly known for his compositions.

John Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Without Bach there would be no history of music as we know it. There would be no Mozart, No Beethoven, there would be no romantic fera as we know it. Every period of music has been informed to some except by the example of Bach. Bach died in 1750 he was more than an organist, more of a keyboard player than as composer. Yet till today the resident power of his work and the best achievements in history music. Bach was the youngest of 8 children in 1685 Eisencich,…

Similar to The Rorschach Test – a famed psychological inkblot test that means different things to different people – Steven Hall's The Raw Shark Texts can be interpreted in a number of unique ways. It tells a purposely ambiguous, experimental, and daring story that forces readers to question their preconceived notions between knowledge, love, identity, and insanity. The Raw Shark Texts is a flawless example of how emotional trauma triggers psychosis, as well as how losing a loved one disturbs a…

for logical reasoning, music speaks a universal language, and painting is the visualization of all the connections. In Bach’s six-part fugue (or in Bach’s words, “ricercar”, an Italian word means “to seek”) dedicated to King Frederick, there is a “rhythmically irregular and highly chromatic” theme in great complication (7). To imagine the concept of a six-part fugue, “[o]ne could probably liken the task … to the playing of six simultaneous blindfold games of chess, and winning them all” (7). In…

performers played were: two violins, viola, and a cello. However, each piece consisted of four movements- fast, slow, minuet or scherzo, and fast- because each string quartet usually consists of four. The first composition performed was Adagio and Fugue…
