Tonality

A few days ago I was lucky enough to attend a live orchestra concert at LACMA. I had never been to a professional music concert before and after learning about the different styles of music in class I was anxious to see what was in store for me. I arrived at the theatre, looking forward to a good show. After the announcer introduced the performers, the lights went dark. This was the moment I had been waiting for. My adrenaline went through the roof. The time had finally come that I would get to…

elements, volumes, planes—even space, he utilizes gradations of colors. “The large planes are first united in solid colors corresponding to the compact forms; then a refined orchestration of colors produces a more intensely harmonious expression; the tonalities are multiplied and mingled; half-tones die into transparent nuances; delicate shadows tremble with lights.”, this is evident in his The Garden of Love (1610) (Figure 2) where Rubens portrays an idyllic representation of matrimonial…

The Philosophy of Romanticism in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Science, and scientific ambition is a central theme that is explored in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Mary Shelley demonstrates through her story that scientific advancement often comes at a cost to both society and more specifically to the personal lives of those affected by scientific achievement.

The complex nature of discovery is best explored both in and through a text in order to receive a more sustained understanding of the concept. The two approaches are closely linked and, as a result, complement each other to quite a large extent. James Bradley’s novel Wrack and Raymond Carver’s short story So Much Water So Close to Home (So Much Water) contrast the effects of the process of deliberate discoveries evoked by necessity with sudden physical discoveries on an individual’s…

The structural configuring of this text is extremely difficult. Stulman uses the framework of Carroll to suggest that vv11-12 are “God’s words of rebuke”, which is reinforced in vv13-14 as Yahweh’s “discordant” response (Stulman 150). Jones suggests that this is not correct, since v11 is reminiscent of the “familiar Hebrew idiomatic oath formula” (Jones 221) where Jeremiah replies to the curse with an oath. Floyd also disagrees with vv11-14 to be interpreted as God’s response, since the use of…
