Octave

Communions, especially on each First Friday, and by an hour-long vigil of prayer every Thursday night in the memory of his agony. And the fourth vision, in which Jesus asked that she seek to have instituted a feast of reparation on the Friday after the octave of the Feast of Corpus Christi. A book written by St. Claude, a Jesuits priest who believed Margaret Mary, and respected her, was read out loud throughout the convent meals, without anyone knowing in advance that it recounted her visions.…

lagoon on the beach. There, he met Piggy, a chubby fat boy that was very intelligent. The two of them found a conch shell, which Ralph blew, as shown with this quote: “The note boomed again: and then at his firmer pressure, the note, fluking up an octave, became a strident blare more penetrating than before.” (Golding, William. Lord of the Flies. New York: Penguin, 2003. Print.) After Ralph blew the conch shell, all of the boys came. All of the boys took a vote of who would become the leader of…

Even though Georges de Feure, initially Georges Joseph Van Sluijters, can be considered as an artist who had played a major role in the development of French art between 1980 and 1905, a relatively large piece of information about both private life and his career remain unknown. He was born on 6th of November, 1969 in Paris, and had a more or less artistic background: a son of a Dutch architect, Jan Hendrick van Sluijters, and a Belgian mother, whose name is not stated in any of the source.…

actions they took didn’t just drive the public away. Fellow aviator, Octave Chanute, had been a close friend of the brothers for years. He had even helped them with the development with their first plane, even if his participation was and still is often uncredited. This lack of recognition led to an already strained relationship, and after the controversy of the patent disputes, the friendship ended with a public denouncement by Octave. The stress of it all took a toll on the both of them,…

Symphonie Fantastique (1830) – Hector Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique is said to be the most significant work of French Romantic composer Hector Berlioz, written in 1830. Berlioz, born December 1803, was no child prodigy, not studying music until age 12, however in 1924 he abandoned his Parisian medical studies to peruse his compositional career. Symphonie Fantastique differs from the previous symphonies of Berlioz, as this follows a narrative through the music, therefore making it an early…

When I look back at my writing experiences my memories are full of sweaty palms and anxiety attacks. Writing has never been a strong suit, I remember in fourth grade having to write a book, hand written with illustrations, my nightmare. In college my professor told me that my writing was so bad I would make a terrible teacher. Reading is a little more enjoyable than writing, I like reading books before I see the film version of the story. I am a mother now and I do not want my son to face the…

37 was my favorite part of the entire night. The concerto starts of with a mysterious low bass sounding melody brought in by the cello section that is echoed by the clarinets and trumpets in a higher octave. Once the cellos and violins enter the space of the sound building within the orchestra, the tempo slows down to a softer, controlled sounding melody that is accented by the quick separated notes played by the flutes. A few minutes into the piece…

OBSERVE MUSIC Concerto No. 21 in C major for Piano and Orchestra, K.467, second movement is also known as “Elvira Madigan“; named from a Swedish film and was used at length on that sound track. The graceful, slow movement would sooth any beast with its rhythmic resonance and graceful rhythm. This classical piece still entices a longing to close the eyes and listen to the swaying beats as the mind wonders through the ebb and tide of this musical dynamic. Movement no.2 starts with many…

Introduction: In this research task I will be focusing on “Ko-Ko” by Charlie Parker's Ri Bop Boys which was recorded in November 26, 1945 at WOR studios in New York City. Charlie Parker's Ri Bop Boys consisted of Curly Russell on bass and Max Roach on drums. Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie played piano on most pieces while 19-year-old Miles Davis played trumpet. This song was in the Bebop genre which is part of jazz. The song I will be comparing it with, is “Take 5” composed by Paul Desmond and…
