to support other events and activities. London was also the favorite city because it addressed the issues of the legal concepts in its bill. The city promised to upheld property rights and restricted ticketing touting and vending in the places of the events. However, some factors did not work in favor of the city. The challenging factor was London’s creaking transport system. The transport system was not efficient and did not meet the required standards (Keogh and Fraster, 2005). The connections were a bit weak, and it was perceived that it could take time for the athletes and other participants to get into the hosting places. The bid leader was quick to address the transport problem. The other factor was lack of public support, before Sebastian taking over from the Cassani, the public support was low. The chair had to improvise ways of encouraging the people so that they can be able to support the bid. A public campaign was done to publicize the bid and create awareness. The chair had to travel to encourage the members and the government to support the bid so that the city’s rating could improve and get the chance of hosting the events. The challenges did not prevent the committee from selecting the city because the last moment marketing tactics used by the bidders convinced the committee members. The committee also formulated a bid that was very aggressive and convincing (Keogh and Fraster, 2005). The bidders also insisted on leaving behind a legacy that can transform and…

As with any other event, Western sporting events constantly face competition from around the City of London, whether it be direct or indirect. Probably the biggest competitors that Western Athletics has are the London Knights and London Lightning, which are the city’s hockey and basketball teams, respectively. However, Western has many advantages over these competitors. The first of these is that Western Athletics games are free for students to attend, while attending a professional team’s game…

Following the Battle of the Somme, Faulks describes the ‘crippled sleepers’ rising from the ground, saying that it resembled a ‘resurrection in a cemetery’ ; a simile which represents the fact that the men are now the living dead; their old lives have been stolen from them. Faulks anthropomorphises the soil, saying that the men ‘teemed up from the reluctant earth’ alluding that even nature has turned against the men. The characters Stephen and Weir discuss the atrocities which have occurred…

The word Baroque originally meaning ‘oddly shaped pearl’ or ‘imperfect pearl’ came to be the period of dramatic, exaggerated and intense compositions. The contrast of dynamics continued to grow and a focus began on single melody and bass lines. This was called basso continuo. Opera also became popular during this time period including works such as Jacopo Peri’s Dafne and Claudio Monteverdi’s Orfeo. Although a little faded, opera is still used and well loved today like the hits by Andrew Lloyd…

The period from the middle of the 18th century to the early 19th century was the time that contained great historical changes over the world. In the 18th century, a new idea of the economic system was claimed by Adam Smith and people started to be concerned about broader educations. Because of this reason, a humanitarian movement was led by French philosophers, such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, which is known as the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment aimed that individuals had rights,…

Juxtaposition is where the music is placed together to give a contrast effect. There are two main instances of juxtaposition, which Bach used in his composition. First one is simultaneous juxtaposition is where the two voices play at the same time and can be heard as two contrasting sound. Bach registered this mostly on his organ pieces, which many of the other composers did not do that much. He also used the simultaneous juxtaposition for an instrumental ensemble. Doubling the instruments…

On November 3, 2015 I sat in the red velvet stadium seating of the west campus performance hall for the performance of Isaac Bustos and Mariana Gariazzo. Both performers are faculty of the Texas A&M Performance Studies department. The pieces performed varied from solo pieces and duet performances. The theme of the presentation was titled “the influence of folk music in classical repertoire”. The pieces performed included: Prelude 1 and 2 of Heitor Villa-Lobos, Bachianas Brasilerias #5 by…

interaction with the performer and the audience does entirely divide the audience with the performer, but rather draws them into a more intimate, personal atmosphere. The audience consisted with a majority of adults ranging from ages 30 to 100 years of age and it was rare to see young adolescence from the age of 12 to 18. A majority of attendees seemed to be the typical who may be attracted to the maturity of classical music brings. However from my observation, this seems biased because I also…
