...they think is right without any consideration for anyone else. They both take their selfishness to extremes. Jason leaves his wife for a younger, prettier and richer woman just because he wants to, and the excuses he gives for doing so in Part 2 are just that - excuses. Medea sacrifices four innocent lives because she so desperately wants to cause Jason pain. The question of whether she's justified in that desire will be examined later. Note that this is a different question from whether she's justified in killing her children. The Chorus functions in a similar way to choruses in almost every other Classical Greek play. A group of individuals speaks with one voice, one attitude and one belief as a representation of community or society. In general, a Greek chorus offered commentary on the action, illuminated the play's themes, acted as confidantes to the central characters or a combination of any or all of these practices. In Medea, the Chorus of...

...example, the first and second verses have the exact same instrument chords, as well as the female vocals. The first verse begins at 0:16 with female vocals and a constant drum, bass, and distorted electric guitar. The second verse, which begins at 0:56, uses the exact same techniques. Also, The first and second choruses are an example of repetition. During these choruses, a male harmony is added, as well as a cymbal to emphasize certain words. There is a slight variation when it comes to the last verse of the song. The lyrics in the third verse are in a different language, and adding the organ in the background adds to the variation. Additionally, there is a variation between the first and second choruses compared to the third chorus. In the third chorus, an organ is added that emphasizes the idea behind the song. Also, the organ seems to add a feeling of importance because of the quickness of the beats. An example of contrast is only used once in the song, at the last interlude, at 2:09. During this interlude, unlike the other ones, an organ is added and plays a completely different beat. Instead of the organ playing the same static beat, it is quicker and changing to different keys more frequently. Repetition adds to the narrative of this song because it emphasizes the main idea of the singer. “Call me” is repeated during the entire song because that is the main message of the song. Also,...

...------------------------------------------------- My Musical Auto-Biography Music 103 Giovanni Classen BMCC Dr. Bethany Reeves They say a picture is worth a thousand words. To me, composers paint a thousand pictures through melody, rhythm, and artistic lyrical ability. As I’ve grown, music has been a major part of my life; whether through culture and getting together with family, grabbing an instrument (I played the “Güiro”, a Latin instrument, in which I grabbed a metal object which resembled a comb and brushed it against an object with notches in it creating a ratchet like sound.), and just playing into the night. When I was younger, I was also a member of the choir where I attended church and catholic school, being an alto until puberty kicked in. So whether I was conscious of it or not, music has always found its way into my life. I like to say that music is in my blood. My father plays the guitar and sings in nightclubs occasionally throughout the city. I have a cousin in Puerto Rico who plays the Cuatro, a Latin 10 string instrument resembling a guitar; he also sings, performs, and sells his music. Two brothers of mine along with myself are also heavily involved with music. Coming from a poverty stricken neighborhood riddled with drugs, violence, and death, we used Hip-Hop as a tool for expression, giving voice to the issues while at the same time painting a picture for others to see what it’s like within our world. A musical event that I would like to write...

...The Concepts of Music Dylan Wright Pitch/Melody Pitch represents the fundamental frequency of a sound reflecting generally the lowness or highness of a sound and the melody is the pitch and rhythm combined. In Australian popular music composers tend to pick one or two melodies (verse and chorus) and stick with them. The variety then occurs in the lyrics. The beat and the melodies in pop songs have a tendency to be simple, with limited harmonic accompaniment. This is so the piece is catchy and remains in our head. The pitch is usually within a one octave range, for the simple reason of the vocalist being unable to reach certain notes. It also makes it ‘singable’ for the listeners. What's more, this means that there are no large leaps from notes as popular music is more written with small steps of notes rather than octave leaps. In more recent Australian popular music, it has become less uncommon for us to hear pitch perfect vocals. The reasoning behind this is an ingenious plug-in called Auto-Tune. It’s a studio trick that can take a vocal and instantly nudge it onto the proper note or move it to the correct pitch. You could say it's like Photoshop for the human voice. It can transform an okay performance into something technically flawless. Pitch and melody play a big part in Australian Popular music because, obviously, something that is not pleasing to our ears is not going to entice listeners. Duration Duration is the amount of time in a piece and how long it lasts...

...Todd’s worst fear is that his life has no meaning, and therefore, he has no verse to contribute. For example, after the first day of class, Todd writes “Carpe Diem” on his paper, dreaming of what it would be like if he, too, could contribute a verse and be great like those in the picture. His insecurity gets the better of him, though, and he throws out the paper believing he has nothing to contribute. Later, in class, after being asked to write a poem, Todd tells Keating he never completed the assignment after he spent many hours writing and revising his poem only to have thrown it away before class. This is a prime example of Todd’s struggle between romanticism and realism, where Todd begins dreaming of future possibilities and ways of expressing himself only to have his realistic expectations crash down on him and diminish his thoughts of potential greatness. Keating sees through Todd’s fear and first makes him yawp, and later makes him say whatever comes to mind. This is the beginning of the change in Todd. “I close my eyes and this image floats beside me The sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brains His hands reach out and choke me And all the time he’s mumbling Truth, like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, it will never be enough Kick it beat it, it will never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying, it will just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream.” In this...

...Merging Music with Language Arts Common Core Subjects: Common Core, Language Arts, Music Grades: 2, 3 The students will be able to identify storyline and contractions in the song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” lyrics, as they experience a steady beat, use rhythm instruments and sing on pitch: 1. 1st Day: Introduce the song lyrics identifying the meaning of the musical term “lyrics.” 2. 1st – 2nd Day: Discuss line by line the story of the lyrics in this song.

...of Ji-utai Abstract This essay is stared to consider the question that why the chorus (Ji-utai) play a multiple roles in a play. In order to answer this question, this essay firstly introduce the representative two different opinions, which considering the function of the chorus in Noh. And it evaluated which is more reasonable from different perspectives. Then finally it concludes that the chorus conveys the emotion of the scene and help the audience to be absorbed in the play. Introduction In traditional Noh dramas, some passages of the play are chanted by a chorus instead of by the main characters such as the shite and the waki. In modern performances, this chorus (ji-utai) sits at the side of the stage as a group. Unlike the primary actors, the member of the chorus do not wear an elaborate costume. The choruses play a significant role for the Noh performance because half of the text are chanted by the ji-utai. For example, the chorus sometimes play the role of the Shite(principle actor) and sometimes becomes a narrator in a same play. However, the meaning of those chorus’s chanting is covered in mystery with various views. Therefore, this essay will introduce two significant opinions which describes the meaning of the chorus, standing in a different point of view and evaluate both of them. Then finally this paper will consider what the meaning and function of the chorus (Ji-utai). Noh is basically composed of three main parts, the shite, the waki and...

...the most memorable melodies in terms of the lyrics and the guitar for me. The song starts with a close range melody in the first verse but it opens in the first bridge. Moreover, when we arrive to the chorus, it becomes a wide ranged melody and the chorus is definitely higher than the verse. From the verse to the chorus, this increase in the melody is building an expectation and it gives a natural feel of build up. Especially the bridge is getting higher and higher into the chorus. As a result, the melody is lifting before arriving the chorus, building a great approach to the chorus. The wide range of the chorus is giving the listeners a rebellious feel and it supports the lyrics. Moreover, there is prosody throughout the song. The song based on the three-note guitar riff and the lyrics are very similar to the pattern. The lyrics are using some long notes with some sharp, staccato notes like the guitar riff. Particularly in the chorus, two staccato notes are occurring in the same time with the guitar and the vocals. After the first chorus, the song goes into the second verse, which is very similar to the first one. Then it goes into the bridge and the chorus again, with the same features. It continues with the same pattern third time, but this time the third chorus continues until the song ends with a fade out. On the other hand, I think melody is very suitable for the...
