Madrigal

This course has and still is teaching me a lot about myself that I previously hadn’t put much thought in. In the beginning of the year when we were asked who we are most like, Apollo or Dionysus, I struggled and still struggle to pick one over the other. I see myself in both of these Gods. Like Apollo, I’m very analytical with my decision making. I use the pro’s and con’s method of choosing so I can chose what direction is best for me rather than where “my heart” tells me to go. I value order,…

Music from the past has had a tremendous effect on what modern music is today. This is shown through the use of word painting and dynamics in the Renaissance period, instruments and Operas in the Baroque Period, primary triads and homophonic compositions in the Classical Period and finally, the utilisation of tone poems and heartfelt passion in the Romantic Period. If it wasn’t for these periods, music would not have evolved in such a immense and progressive way. The Renaissance Period which…

One factor that contributes to the inequalities between Pearl-Cohn and Hume-Fogg is the racial makeup of each school: Hume-Fogg is predominately white, with 61.2% of their students being classified as so, and with Pearl-Cohn is predominately black, with 89.9% of their student body is classified as so (“Report Card,” 2016).

It’s reported that 25-50% of the female Native American population was coerced into sterilization between 1970-1976. While there were many cases; Buck v. Bell, Madrigal v. Quilligan, and Relf v.

Bell has never been overturned by the supreme court where the original ruling still stands in the court of law…

He was skilled in most forms of art, although he always thought of himself as a sculptor. For two years Michelangelo lived in the Medici household while working on the sculptural relief The Battle of the Centaurs (“Michelangelo Buonarti Biography”). Michelangelo also made many statues in the Medici household garden (“Michelangelo Buonarti Biography”). He was commissioned by…
