...must be nice” by Lyfe Jennings is the first song I listened to and the instrumental really caught eye. “Why a good melody should have the power to move us has thus far defied all analysis”. Before distinguishing the musical elements of the piece, I let the music move my emotions around. The beginning tempo was slow starting which made me relax but the song gets close to the ending it becomes faster and more powerful. The element that I thought had a hidden meaning was the beat, unified clapping of the hands. The song is about having a person to trust and love and the clapping of the hands at the same pace signifies togetherness in a relationship. Besides the words stating the meaning of these songs, the rhythm and melody behind it exposed it as well. The next type of music I listened to is abstract and feels like a bunch of different random people came together and started playing. This type is called Gamelan referring to many different kinds of Indonesian musical groups. The melody is basic and fixed with a repeating beat of instruments. “The reader probably realizes by now that, along with composers, he must broaden his ideas as to what a melody may be”. I opened my mind to Gamelan music and learned that this type has three different styles. For examples, Balinese Gamelan Music has an interlocking rhythm that creates a single, extremely fast melody while the contempory Central Java style, the melody is slowed down. Gamelan music opened my eyes to different types of instruments...

...I. Introduction The first time you will hear the word Circadian Rhythm, you will be dreary because you have no idea on what it is about, but because of my drastic intention I will gather more ideas about my topic. Doubtless, I am sure I will make it easier to work with it. One question was bothering me and makes me persevere on doing this Research Paper. “Is it entrainable or not?”, one question with different ideas and information’s sticking with it. No specific and particular reviews I need to provide about it, I just need to gather information by means of researching just to know if Circadian Rhythm is entrainable or not. Although the process is not easy, as people who have suffered from a jetlag, because the more time you did not sleep, the more you will suffer Circadian Rhythm. Sleep and waking, for instance, occur naturally to the beat of an internal pacemaker, which works on a cycle of about twenty-four-hours. My purpose on making and researching is to have broad ideas and I need to answer the question bothering me if it is entrainale or not. I need to defend my title against myself to be proudly to present it and defend it easily.In my title, I used the questioning type because I want to know if Circadian Rhythm is truly entrainable or not. Y abstract focuses on the summary of my entire research paper and what are my goals and objectives on making this research. In listing the methods and procedures, my goal is to give the reader sufficient...

...the result of heredity, upbringing, and current environmental demands, different individuals have a tendency to both perceive and process information differently. The different ways of doing so are generally classified as: 1. Concrete and abstract perceivers–Concrete perceivers absorb information through direct experience, by doing, acting, sensing, and feeling. Abstract perceivers, however, take in information through analysis, observation, and thinking. 2. Active and reflective processors–Active processors make sense of an experience by immediately using the new information. Reflective processors make sense of an experience by reflecting on and thinking about it. Traditional schooling tends to favor abstract perceiving and reflective processing. Other kinds of learning aren’t rewarded and reflected in curriculum, instruction, and assessment nearly as much. How the Learning Styles Theory Impacts Education Curriculum–Educators must place emphasis on intuition, feeling, sensing, and imagination, in addition to the traditional skills of analysis, reason, and sequential problem solving. Instruction–Teachers should design their instruction methods to connect with all four learning styles, using various combinations of experience,...

Thus, a simple analysis of the term “sayaw” which easily lead one to say that is must have derived from the word “saya” which means happy. A person who is very happy or in the rhythmical movement is an outward expression of his feeling. Meaning: • Dance of many types is the physical expression of rhythm and music. • It is a pure expression of the dancers’ thoughts and feelings. • It is the union of movement, rhythm and arts of life. • It is the union of minds and body expressing the intangible through the medium of time and space.

...Analysis of Dance Styles ARTS/100 Professor Analysis of Dance Styles For centuries peoples have been dancing as an art form that allows them to physically express themselves without using words. These are times when simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words (Humphrey, 1937). A great deal can be understood when a person watches a person dances. The message that is related is strong and clear. When you understand the types of dance the message is clear. I will attempt to examine the different forms of dance. We will look at the forms of dance like Ballet, Modern World/Ritual, Folk, and jazz. Never the less it helps construct a better understanding of the different forms. Ballet During the 15th century in Italy ballet was known as court dancing. The word “Ballet” comes from the Italian form of Ballare which means dance. The first dance was in France in 1581. The French created the first ballet called “La Ballet Domique de La Reine” This caught on fast which prompted Louise Xiv to start the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661. Ballet caught on quick and spread from country to country when the story line and rhythm is expressed it uses eight basic positions to do this. Swiveling on their toes and balancing is critical to perform these dances. Over the ages these have been two great Ballets that are performed across the country and they are in high demand. They are the “Nutcracker and Swan Lake”. Modern Dance The 20th century...

...Bob Cole Form & Analysis 8 May, 2014 Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C Minor - III. Un poco Allegretto e grazioso In the beginning of this movement Brahms starts with a calm step-wise melody in the clarinets. It lasts for five bars, rather than a more common four, and then happens again in the clarinets, but the second time it is completely inverted. This entire theme, which we will call theme A, lasts for ten bars. In measure eleven, the answering theme, or theme B, enters with the flutes, clarinets, and bassoons descending on a distinct and lyrical dotted-eighth to sixteenth note rhythm. The strings join them rhythmically but play counterpoint to the moving line rather than melody. Theme B plays for eight bars and in measure 19 theme A returns but this time in the 1st violins and slightly altered. There is not a change to the melody in the first five bars, but after the five bars there is a prolongation of the phrase by the Oboes and flutes to make it last seven bars. The phrase continues as normal with the melody still in the 1st violins and again the phrase is elongated but now by oboe and bassoon, instead of flute. Due to these alterations this section will be called theme A', and not just A. Following this A' theme is a return to theme B but just like A, Brahms alters it. The section plays the same as before lasting four bars but then begins to change. The strings drop the dotted rhythm and begin playing out arpeggios...

...waist of the lady. Beginning about 1830, the waltz was given a tremendous boost by two Austrian composers Lanner and Strauss. They set the standard for the Viennese Waltz, a very fast version played at about 55 - 60 measures per minute. The fast tempo did indeed present problems. Much of the enjoyment of the new dance was lost in the continual strain to keep up with the music. It is not known exactly when the waltz was introduced to the United States. It was probably brought to New York and Philadelphia at about the same time, and by the middle of the Nineteenth Century was firmly established in United States society. During the later part of the Nineteenth Century, Waltzes were being written to a slower tempo than the original Viennese rhythm. Around the close of the Nineteenth Century, two modifications of the waltz developed in the United States. The first was the "Boston", a slower waltz with long...

...Open main menu Last edited 2 days ago by Andreasmperu Literary genre EditWatch this page A literary genre is a category of literary composition. Genres may be determined by literary technique, tone, content, or even (as in the case of fiction) length. The distinctions between genres and categories are flexible and loosely defined, often with subgroups. The most general genres in literature are (in loose chronological order) epic, tragedy,[1] comedy, and creative nonfiction.[citation needed] They can all be in the form of prose or poetry. Additionally, a genre such as satire, allegory or pastoral might appear in any of the above, not only as a subgenre (see below), but as a mixture of genres. Finally, they are defined by the general cultural movement of the historical period in which they were composed. Genre should not be confused with age categories, by which literature may be classified as either adult, young-adult, or children's. They also must not be confused with format, such as graphic novel or picture book. GenresEdit For more details on this topic, see List of literary genres. Just as in painting, there are different types: the landscape, the still life, the portrait; there are different types of literary works. These types tend to share specific characteristics. Genres describe those works which share specific conventions.[2] Genres are often divided into subgenres. Literature, is divided into the classic three forms of Ancient Greece, poetry, drama...

...Analysis of Summertime by George Gershwin (from "Porgy and Bess") My analysis based on the "Fake Book" will make mention several times to Gershwin's original harmonic structure for his song -- reasons for substitutions are based on the artist making those changes -- I will comment only slightly on that area since I do not know the mind of another artist -- however, I know how I would make sub. changes. This analysis is “One Direction” that can be taken amongst many. Because improvisation is a vast domain of conceptual theories in application it becomes a very real probability of “many ways” to envision and “see” an analysis FORM: A - B - A - C Thematic development occurs four times in 4 bar motifs (each section) equaling 16 bars to complete the strain. The entire form is repeated to produce a 32 bar complete form which consists of A - B - A - C + A - B - A - C=32 bars. KEY: 1) Am. A natural minor is the best starting place with no sharps or flats. Note: Although the V7 (E7) appears in the key of A Harmonic Minor, the fact of the major 7th degree (G#) does not agree with the use of i7 (Am7) in bar 1. For this, and numerous other shared "tonality" purposes and reasons we will establish the key of A Natural minor. The introduction of the first V7 (Dom 7th) chord (E7) in bar 2 is derived from the secondary dominant of A major tonality (more on this as we progress). 2) The song moves in A minor and for a short moment in bars TONALITY: The major melodic devise...

...Introduction Being an exchange student and coming from a country (Singapore) where little attention is paid and given to the developments and happenings of the theatre scene, I am delighted to have taken up this module to expose myself to this topic on drama. First and foremost, I must admit that I have never attended a single theatre performance and Blue Boy was the first in the twenty three years of my life. I was filled with excitement and anticipation both at the same time, wondering if I would even manage to interpret the idea behind the whole daunting concept of Mise en Scène. True enough, I went home that night with many questions floating in my head. The following report nonetheless describes my interpretation as a first time audience. Experiences of the Performance It was a bit tense going into the performance as a role of a student as certain expectations were already instilled beforehand. I was expected to take note of not only the space and the staging of the play, but also the aesthetics of the building itself. It was as if I had to make sure I had every aspect and element of the theatre covered. As scary as it might have sound, it turned out to be rather fruitful as I had my eyes glued onto the surroundings, seeing and experiencing what other audiences might not have even thought about- the design of the stage, the lighting, the layout of the theatre, the configuration of the seats etc. The Blue Boy is a co-production with Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival...

Again, jazz music can be describe as a style of music rooted out of improvisation and features by syncopated rhythm, a constant beat pattern with a distinctive tone color and performance techniques. The term jazz became popular around 1915, though it started as early as 1900 but throughout the early period of jazz existence nothing was written down on paper or notated on jazz music due to the fact that jazz music was mostly dominated by improvisation. Moreover, only little of jazz music was recorded as at the early 1900 the only jazz music that was recorded was the original Dixieland band recorded in 1917.
