Music has had a profound influence on religion, politics, foreign policy, and pop culture throughout the years. Frequently, we credit rap and hip-hop for having such a positive impact in the world of politics and social standing; however, there isn't much analysis on the influence that southern rock has had in the molding of white, southern identity. White supremacy and white privilege are among some of the most sensitive topics in America. While some are unwilling to admit they exist all…

Jerome Robbins' suggested the idea of developing a musical based off of the story of Romeo and Juliet to Leonard Bernstein in January of 1949 (originally proposed title: East Side Story, set in the less privileged areas of New York at the concurrence of Easter-Passover celebrations). In August of 1955, a gathering with Arthur Laurents took place where another idea emerged -- two teen-age mobs as the conflicting groups, one of them newly-arrived Puerto Ricans, the other self-styled…

Humans have constantly been improving what they have already got. To achieve a more perfect version, they go through a number of eras or epochs where they try out different versions. Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter in the 20th century, went through different periods where he drew in a specific colour to see how it affected the painting. He started off with the Blue Period, where he drew mostly blue colours (Pablo Picasso, 2015). This he used for a few years, until he switched to the Rose…

The beginnings of music technology and consumption originated in the late 1800s with Thomas Edison’s ingenious phonograph. Over a course of seventy-five years, the phonograph has received many upgrades and has even become a basis for the recent music technology today (Price and Albright para. 5). Some of the newer music technological advances include vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, portable MP3 players, and streaming services, which have all revolutionized music consumption because they have…

Haydn’s “Baby-Stage” Sonata When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart focused on opera composition and Ludwig von Beethoven experimented innovations in various musical forms, Joseph Haydn was greatly responsible for the invention and refinement of sonata form in the classical period . His earliest sonatas, dedicated to Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, feature galant style, and reveal Haydn’s growth as a composer in his early years. Among these pieces, Haydn piano sonata in F major, Hob. XVI: 23 shows a very solid…

What did national parties often do to maintain national unity in regards to the slavery issue? Generally-speaking, the national parties essentially turned a blind eye towards the slavery issue, in order to bar further tensions from erupting. Portrayed in yet another manner, such parties, whether it be the Whigs or Democrats alike, failed to explicitly embrace the issue by adopting a particular standpoint. Evidence from the text that further bolsters this claim is shown when the authors state,…

The classical era was 1750-1820. It was a time period that was plagued by war and violence. The wars consisted of the Seven Years War, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. Also during the classical period the power shifted from the nobility and the church to the middle class. The classical music period contained contrasting moods with rhythmic variety. The classical period was homophonic in texture. The three main forms in the classical period are sonata form,…

this would defame Jackson’s entire cabinet and his presidency, however instead of ousting them Jackson and Martin Van Buren both defended the Eaton’s to the chagrin of the rest of his cabinet. Because of this Jackson began to rely more heavily on what was deemed his “kitchen cabinet”, a group of men whom he relied on more heavily for advice than those in his actual cabinet. Because of Van Buren’s support of the Eaton’s, Jackson nominated him for running mate in 1832, effectively ending any…

Van Gennep (1960) was concern with the social movement of individuals and societies, as well as with the mechanisms they use to ensure social stability during these times of change. These rites of passage were defined as the stages of separation, transition, and incorporation (Tinto, 1993) by Van Gennep, and used by Tinto. The first stage, separation, requires the individual to disassociate from…
