Harp

Sir Orfeo struggles with connecting a dream world and reality, which is the faerie world and wilderness. It is evident that cultural norms are present in both the real and otherworld in Tolkien’s, Sir Orfeo. Gender roles, status within society and appearance all connect from one world to the other. Sir Orfeo’s wife being taken by the fairies caused more damage then the violence inflicted on her. Sir Orfeo lectures his wife when she returns with ripped clothes, bloody and bruised that she used…

Mariachi music was always present in my life. Since I can remember, my family would always support my uncle’s performances since he was in a Mariachi group. My father would cry listening to Vicente Fernandez sing “Por Tu Maldito Amor.” My husband sent me serenata as an anniversary gift. In the beginning, I hated Mariachi music. However, as I grew older, I began to admire Mariachi music and actually began to be interested in discovering the culture and the history of Mariachi music. Mariachi…

At this concert, the best music that I like is the Symphonie fantastique by Hector Berlioz which is the Op. 14, Reveries, Passions: Largo; Allegro agitato e appassionato assai (lively, agitated, and impassioned) which is movement no. 1. And also on this concert they played movement no. 2, A Ball:Valse, Allegro non troppo. It is Program symphony with five movements. Each movement has a story of it, such as Beethoven with his symphonies and movements. This music tells a story of an artist’s…

On September 5, 2015, I visited the University of Memphis Art Museum. The works on display were by Samuel Hester Crone. Crone was born in Tennessee and grew up in Memphis. Upon reaching adulthood, Crone moved to Munich, Germany to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Art. Upon completion of his art education, he remained in Europe in order to pursue his art career. Upon entering the exhibit, it appeared that most of the pieces were the same genre. Crone had many works which were landscape…

Both genres have mutual influences: African and European, so we can hear repetitiveness, syncopated and call-response patterns and the same rhythms. Also there are similarities in music due to the using similar instruments, such as drums, guitar, harp, violin. Both styles are lively, energetic and danceable. The dances of the two styles, joropo and jarabe, have mutual influences as well. For example, we can see waltz movements, which are from European influences, in both styles. Both dances are…

Renaissance. She was also an activist. She worked as an art director and teacher to younger up and coming artists. She worked as a director for the community center of Harlem.

slow and then progress evenly to a strong few measures, and then die back down. The tempo isn’t that fast, It’s relatively light and a slow and steady pace. It rushed up at times, but then it slowed back down. This piece involves violins, basses, a harp, and violas. Within these instruments, they present different ranges. Since this piece is called Adagio for Strings, it would only make sense that it would be exclusively stringed instruments. This songs color was different, it was more somber.…

the number of tunes added in previous revisions (Eskew, 140). It also included a list of revisions to correct some of the existing tunes. Eight of the thirty nine pieces included in this edition were also found in the first edition of The Sacred Harp, but none of them were close enough to have been taken from directly from the book. The fourth edition was published in 1847 and was called new, improved, and enlarged in comparison to previous editions (Eskew, 141). In this edition more room…

Scottish music is very unique due to the instruments used such as the bag pipes, fiddle, clarsach, accordion, guitar, drums, piano, bodhran, trump/jaws harp, mandolins, banjos, gut and wire strung guitar, harmonica and wooden flutes. All these instruments are used in Scottish music even though some may be out dated or adopted these instruments make Scottish music distinguishable from all the rest. The bag pipes are a difficult instrument to learn because first you need to learn the chanter.…
