Significance of the play

The play captures the themes of loneliness and love, in a way that makes the reader, or the audience, awe at the depth of creativity of David Henry Hwang. The structure of the play targets the general audience, as it brings out the kind of feelings that someone keeps in the face of rejection and failure to fit in society. Two characters, a man and a woman in middle age, tell their versions of loneliness and their lack of human company. The man confides to the woman that he had to sleep in a waterfall in the previous night ...

Hanover Baroque Trio Concert

I attended a small ensemble concert that was hosted by the music department in the fine arts building at the college, which featured an all instrumental Trio Sonata. According to the program, the music was all from the baroque period, and it was presented in a smaller room in the “chamber style.” There was not a very large audience. This kept the audience from being a distraction, so that we could really pay attention to the music. The concert featured several instruments, but because it was a trio, only three of them played at a time. These instruments included ...

Introduction

The world we live in today has not always been what it is but has been built to what it is today. While little is known of the Western world, specifically the Americas before explorers such as Christopher Columbus discovered it, there exists rich literature of ancient civilizations that have shaped all spheres of modern life. The most recognized civilizations include the Egyptian civilization, the Roman Empire, and the Greek civilization. The fall of one civilization led to the rise of another civilization and so forth. The earliest recorded civilization, however, is the Egyptian civilization and scholars have credited ...

Wabi (侘)1 refers to the ‘rustic beauty’ and this pertains to the things that have the ability retain the elegant charm despite the flaws or imperfections present on its surface. The Kanji character for wabi symbolizes ‘isolation’ through visual perspective; an object that is marred yet, it was because of the marred quality of the object that makes it beautiful and appealing even to the discerning eyes of the viewer. On the other hand, the character for sabi (寂)2 pertains to the intrinsic meanings of the object, such as its history. In this way, the concept of sabi can ...

Introduction

In his writing of Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle discusses the issue of pleasure and pain. Scholars have not come into agreement the reason why Aristotle used the word Nicomachean Ethics; however, most of them believe that Aristotle’s son and his father were both called Nicomachean. Aristotle’s son must have edited the book after the death of his father hence renaming the book to show that this was his edition. According to Aristotle, happiness is the greatest good, and it is the only reason why we undertake various activities. For example, when a person decides to go for grocery ...

Plato describes how drunken Alcibiades surrounded by the lush gang of revelers suddenly breaks into a banquet. The audience somehow explains to him the essence of the ongoing negotiations, and also offers to give a speech in honor of Eros. But after learning the contents of the Socrates words, Alcibiades fully agrees with them. Since he has nothing to add about Eros, he decides to make a speech in honor of Socrates (Gill). Originate from the aristocratic families, with the gift of beauty, passing through all stages of public recognition, learned from Socrates, Alcibiades did not adjust to the ...

Hanover Baroque

Type of Concert: Trio Sonata General reaction: I found the concert very smoothing. The venue, at a local episcopal church, was beautiful, and well suited to the small-ensemble, or more chamber style music presented by the trio. There was a sense of both tranquility and ease that punctuated the concert as a result of the combination between the building’s ambiance and the musical genre on display. Concert Summary: The musical concert I attended was a trio, consisting of a violin, a flute, and a harpsichord. Overall, it involved music by eight different composers, each of which took a ...

On February 4, 2016, I got a chance to attend the concert at the Recital Hall of Laidlaw Performing Arts Centre. The instruments included piano and flute. This was a Flute Recital. Each piece was performed by a different musician. At 7.30 p.m. the audience indulged itself in the world of a wonderful music. The first composition that was performed was the “Summerland”, composed by William Grant Still, also known as “The Dean of African-American Composers”. This charming melody is very light and truly reveals the summer as everyone imagines it: the warm breeze, the sunshine. It was clear ...

Introduction While Canada is considered a relatively new country, much of its history can be traced to the end of the first ice age, 20 thousand years ago. At that time there was still an isthmus, which was a kind of bridge between Siberia and Alaska. Therefore land route generation of Siberian hunters-nomads moved slowly on American soil. This theory is supported by archaeological excavations in the basin of Old Crow in the Yukon, in which was found a set of tools that allows to date the initial period of migration is as described above.

The musical element of this selection is monophonic. She sings in a cappella scales in Thai vernacular, with light crescendos and decrescendos for added emphasis. The artist sings in strophic repetition. Thai culture is traditional and based on simplicity. This comes out while listening to the song. If this song were categorized today it would be considered folk music because folk music is considered to be a part of the culture that it derives from. I am from Thailand, and the rich culture there is maintained through classic music accompanied by dance in beautiful costumes. It is used for story-telling. ...

In this paper I will talk about the film Amadeus from 1984. I will summarize the movie focusing on the Mozart rebelled actions against the patronage system explaining the concepts, especially looking for how rich people from that time hired composer to write music only for their own interest. The film is an adaption after Shaffer’s stage play Amadeus from 1979 in which the composer Antonio Salieri discover Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s brilliant talent but it’s running him because of his pride and envy feeling. The action is set on Austria, more precisely in Vienna during the ...

It is scarcely possible to describe the history of music without reaching the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart is well known and celebrated as being one of the greatest composers and musicians in recorded history, and for good reason. Very few individuals in history have had such a profound and pronounced effect on their field as Mozart has, and a testament to this can be read from the symbolism and thematic content of his magnum opus, The Magic Flute. It is an ostensibly light-hearted fairy-tale opera that served as a convenient introduction to the genre and continues to do so more ...

The Native American history and culture as we know it is rich and vibrant. Often mistaken for savages who had nothing better to do than scalp intruders and run naked through the woods, Native Americans were more civilized than first documented . Each tribe, large or small, was a society unto itself. They had forms of counsel, or government, and different tools they would use to maintain order and assign jobs. They planted crops, hunted, and continued their survival based on what the land was willing to give. When not concerned with survival, however, the Native Americans began to cultivate different ...

Symphony

Their voices are like bells, ringing out through the air in a clarion call of frantic joy. The air is silken and warm around me, caressing me with gentle tendrils of wind, as soft as a child’s hands. The grass is smooth, velvet, the pure green of an emerald held up to the light, and it smells of fresh mornings, and new growing things. The children play, moving in free strides of careless abandon, their small hands wrapping around the monkey bars, the chains of the swings as they push themselves skyward. The sun is bright, and as warm as ...

I recently attended an MDC Faculty Recital conducted by Dr. Virginia Carruvias featuring music by Claude Bolling. My enjoyment and appreciation of his music will be the subject of analysis and appreciation throughout this paper. I also wish to comment on the feelings I experienced while listening to the music and what my general understanding of the technical aspects were during the evening. This analysis varies with the different movements of the music for each suite. During the evening, three movements of the suite for flute and piano (Irlandaise, Sentimentale, Baroque & Blue) and 3 movements of the suite for ...

Classic music era falls between 1730 and 1820 or more likely it is from 16th century to the 19th century. Romantic music era started in the late 18th century or especially in early 19th century. The exact century has yet not been found. Mozart and Beethoven are great composers of classical and romantic music with their own individual styles. Although most part of Beethoven’s music is considered in, the classical tradition of Mozart but his style is different from classical in many ways. Now, he evolved as a bridge between both classical and romantic music eras. The most ...

3 Subject + Magic Flute The love of music comes from the feeling afterwards felt after listening to musical pieces. However, this is not the primary intention for individuals who need to listen to music since the objective may involve the need to hear precision and perfection present in the music or for the purpose of strenuous, active and contemplation in which it is involved. A phenomenon referred to like music in it bears tonal variations and styles that arouse feelings and emotions in us depending on our musical perspective hence perceptive feelings and experience present themselves as the ...

Pablo Picasso’s, ‘The Three Musicians’ was painted in 1921, and is renowned as one of his greatest works. Here we observe the classic combination of colour and line, where the musicians are lounging about in characteristically jaunty poses with not much care for the world. Picasso uses boisterous colours with blue and yellow particularly prominent and demonstrative. The three figures also contain diverse aspects which are immediately noticeable. The musician playing the guitar (which is coloured yellow) is almost obscured by the one playing the flute. The accordion player who is situated at the back is almost ...

Arthur Miller’s iconic play Death of a Salesman is rife with symbolism, rich characters that welcome in-depth study and debate, relationships between different characters that warrant close examination and themes and motives that range from statements about the American Dream and socioeconomics to the importance of place, feminism, gender roles and familial relationships. One of the most prominent themes in Death of a Salesman is that of betrayal. Arthur Miller thoroughly and effectively examines betrayal and the different forms it can take. Betrayal and abandonment, a form of a betrayal, characterize nearly all of the significant relationships in the play, particularly the ...

The aim of this essay is to present you with the answers to the following questions on how lighting can and ought to be applied on the theatrical performance of the play ‘Death of a Salesman’ by Arthur Miller.

One thing that has real fascinated me in life is music in the sense that it has helped me in one way or another to form a collective story. When you think about different generational stories that you have heard created by great performers for instance buddy Holly and backstreet boys. You will recognise that there is tremendous leap that can be found. These were the acts that have generated buzz and in addition to that, they have been able to shape their music generation. Since I was a small kid and at tender age, I had passion for music ...

Facilitator

Evolution has constantly occurred in the Turkish culture with new things coming up all the time. In a culture with great diversity and heterogeneity, Turkish music faces the pressure to adjust and fit in the lifestyles of the people in the country (Khotani, 2010). Over the last century, the culture can boast of the profound changes and diversifications it has undergone to breed the current trend in the cultural industry. Music is the most relevant beneficiary of the diversifications and changes. The evolution of music traces its roots back to the Islamic influences on the folk music. Evolution took another ...

We went to a concert, Olivia and the Santa Barbara Boys on last Monday, March 25th at Lawrence & Alma Berk Recital Hall, which is located in 1140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA. It was the third concert to have attended during this course. Jazz is a music genre that is of interest to many people. There should be effort to ensure that this interest is maintained by improvising it so that people will still like it. Compared to the last two concerts we went, this concert was presented in a university hall which made people feel casual. The audience was more relaxed and ...

Background

With that in mind, I would like to let the reader of this report know that I already had set expectations before I went to that concert.

The Wind Ensemble conducted by Greg Miller at the University of Alabama was really an eye opener in every respect. The music on offer was indeed wide ranging and full of modern sounding effects and all this combined together shows that the University of Alabama Wind Ensemble is truly a top notch orchestra. The first work on offer was the Kirkpatrick Fanfare by Andrew Boysen which was composed in 2001. Here one could admire the voluptuousness of the sound of the Alabama Wind Ensemble which demonstrates the wide ranging varieties of this ensemble. Although some of the top brass ...

Music performance by Mozart and Schubert

On 10/22/2011, I attended a music performance. This is therefore a paper outlining my classical reaction about the performance. Three symphony parts made up the performance. These parts are “Symphony No. 5 in B Flat, D. 485,” “Concerto for Clarinet,” and “Le Tombaue de Couperin.” My reactions are therefore, going to be on each of the symphony. Eventually, I will list the pros and cons of each.

Starting with the symphony of “Le Tombaue de Couperin” I realized that its performance was exactly like the description it had been given to it in the program notes. The performance was about a teacher ...
