...A massive body of water that lies in located in the pacific northwest; the Puget Sound is 2,800 miles of saltwater that has been underappreciated for quite some time. A very important asset to the state of Washington, the resources we gather from this area are an essential part of our economy. Water pollution is not a new topic of discussion rather a problem that has gone on for almost the last hundred years. I am proposing a plan to help ensure that the puget sound will be preserved for future generations to come. This is for all residents and business that are directly impacted by the effects that pollution has on the Puget Sound. I want to develop a system that would help to sustain this great ecosystem for generations to come by reducing the number of toxic pollutants by twenty percent over the next five years. The most effective way to reduce pollution is to remove any toxic chemicals from the puget sound that are a part of any outdated or unnecessary landmarks throughout the state. The fox island ferry dock and terminal is no longer in use and was replaced by the fox island bridge in 1954. The old wooden dock contains 182 pilings that are treated in creosote; a toxic chemical that greatly impacts the growth of salmon and also affects their immune system. In order to preserve the puget sound these types of materials must be eliminated. Jim Braden, the president of the Fox Island Community and Recreation Association said “removing the dock eliminates a constant source of creosote and a threat to ...

...Sina Valizadeh Concert Report 2 03/19/14 Classical Music Concert Report The concert took place in Balboa Park at Spreckels Organ. I was there for about an hour and they played 7 songs. #1: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata from Symphony No.5, Opus 42 from Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) From the start of the song tempo was presto. It has a 1,2 rhythm and it is very simple overall until it goes toward the end of a song and you hear more different melodies. it had an amazing finishing. during the middle of the song you could've hear the middle parts with louder and harder melodies. #2: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata in D Minor, S. 565 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) This piece almost took 10 minutes and by far i can say is one of the best classical songs I've ever heard. it seems like a happy song. a lot of high pitch sounds and melodies were used in this song. tempo was combination of presto and moderato and it seems like its a dramatic song. #3: Sam Rudenberg: Prelude in G minor, BWV 556 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Very relaxing song, decent speed and largo tempo. i can say it is esspresione and it gets loud at the end of a song. #4: Sam Rudenberg: Finale from Janet Correll (b. 1942) Its a romantic era, it has a story line and a song like melody, usually it narrates a story about some one or a specific event that happened in the history. kind of slow tempo and a 1.2 rhythm. i heard a little bit of syncopation as well. #5: Jared Jacobsen: oh Danny boy...

...I chose to respond to Symphony No. 5, I (opening) because this is one of my favorite pieces. When I was little my mother would play this song almost every single day. It is one of the most popular pieces by him and in the classical genre. Although Beethoven’s symphony No. 5 is classified as a classical piece it really pushes the borders on the genre of classical music. Symphony No. 5 was composed by the German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven between the years 1804-1808. The first performance of symphony no 5 was in 1808 at Theater an der Wien in Vienna Austria. A lot of people who know of classical music can tell this piece from any other music because the Symphony No. 5 has a very distinctive four-notes opening, which is short-short-short-long...

...Indian classical music and jazz. Though these two styles of music seem completely dissimilar, they share many of the same influence and roots. Indian classical music dates back to thousands of years ago, where it was first played in the King’s court. It is now played in large concert halls all over the world. Jazz has its roots in the black churches of New Orleans in the beginning of the 20th century. It is now played in large concert halls around the world as well. When examined closely, it is astoning to see how many similarities these two styles of music have. It is safe to say that Indian classical music has had a strong influence on jazz. Both styles of music rely heavily on human expression, paths for spiritual advancement, and improvisation. Indian music’s influence on jazz can date back to the early 1960s. With the modifications of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, a new flood of Southeast Asian immigrants entered the country. Coincidentally, the 1960s was a decade of political turmoil with the free jazz and civil rights movement. This was a major factor in the influence of carnatic music on jazz. Many of the improvisation techniques jazz musicians use today came from the roots of Carnatic music. To understand how Indian Classical music influenced jazz, one needs to understand the varying styles of classical music. There are two styles of classical music--Hindustani and Carnatic. Hindustani music is played primarily in North...

...Compare and Contrast Essay: Classical and Rap Music Kristin Conway COM/155 - UNIVERSITY COMPOSITION AND COMMUNICATION I March 15, 2014 Instructor: Kathleen Case In contrary to common thought, classical and rap music have as many similarities as they do differences. The sound may be completely different, but there is a way to show emotion that will affect the listeners. For example, they both have ways to bring emotion and feeling into both performance and their audience’s effectiveness. Classical has an effect on the listeners that makes them cry, laugh and be happy. Rap music has an effect on a person that makes them get up and dance to the beat of the song. Classical and rap music are different in many ways but are also the same, especially in musical influences, musical evolution, and the musician’s techniques. Classical music is the first type of music performed. Classical music started in the year 1150, with the development of Medieval music, where according to Naxos.com, where 1“The earliest written secular music dates from the 12th century troubadours (in the form of virelais, estampies, ballades, etc.), but most notated manuscripts emanate from places of learning usually connected with the church, and therefore inevitably have a religious basis. Gregorian chant and plainsong developed during the 11th and 13th centuries into organum (example: two or three lines moving simultaneously but independently, almost inadvertently representing the beginnings...

...Some people wonder about the mysterious of classical music. There are many misconceptions of what classical music really is. I went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall to listen to the Fresno Academy orchestra which played some magnificent music pieces from the classical time. Classical music has been through the time of the 11th century which is known as the common practice period of many brilliant conductors. Thomas Loewenheim was the conductor of the Fresno orchestra. I listened to him perform many famous pieces from the classical time. These pieces of music were really thrilling to me because it sounded different listening to a live musical performance. I listened to Paul Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber,...

...Erin Jordan Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra September 12, 2011 Berlin Philharmonie The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestral performed Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 while touring in Europe and was conducted by Manfred Honeck. The program is Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in c-sharp minor with encores by Josef Strauss and Richard Strauss. I obtained the program from http://www.youtube.com. Watching and listening to a concert on a small computer screen with poor sound quality isn’t ideal but the feelings and emotions were still present. Prior to watching the concert I researched the composer Gustav Mahler. One important piece of musicians is their life history. I learned Gustav had a near death experience prior to composing Symphony No. 5. I believe his struggle with life and death was told in his work. Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 begins with a trumpet solo intro and is quickly joined by the bass drums portraying a sense of fear and suspense. The trumpet intro is by far the most memorable feature. The musical theme is a sense of darkness to light, sadness and despair to joyful and hopeful. Many parts also sound as if there is sorrow turned into violence. It is as if Mahler is fighting for something or someone. Quite possibly his own life or even the love of a female. There are frequent changes in tempo and dynamic with crescendo and decrescendo. The cadence of the orchestra allows for more suspense and the need to see what comes next in the story. Many chords...

...Differences between Baroque and Classical Music Patricia Tyson HUMA 266 19 June 2012 Beverly Smith I. Introduction Since the beginning of time Art has been a huge factor in our daily lives from Caveman to present time. As we move forward from caveman drawings to art forms such as painting, sculpture, music, and dance our outlook of art changes. The function of art falls into three, categories, personal, social and physical functions. Regardless of art forms or categories each form brings a different sense of awareness, and innovation to an individual. Say for instance in viewing of the Sesame Street Mural with its characters, I would view it as a beautiful still painting of youthful energy. Others view it as a waste of Art. II. ART EXPOSURE A. Painting My family was exposed to various paintings while station in Germany. Downtown is where the huge painting of various dignitaries were. We had the opportunity to tour various Castle while station at Leighton Barracks. My favorite tour was the Nuremberg Castle. There were high ceilings with paintings of clouds, horses and fighting knights. Long hallways were line with pictures of past Kings and Queens. There were also paintings of the children who last lived in the castle. The Dining Room was huge with a table setting of about 20 or more. The walls were lined with fallen warriors. Behind the castle was an open forest where one of the kings built a Tea house for his wife and her guest. Within these...

Gorn is connected with Consumer Behavior through the general topic of learning: how do consumers’ behavior can be influenced by experience. In this case experience can be assimilated with music during advertising or more generally sensory features, which leads us more in depth of the Behavioral Learning Theories that emphasizes the learning process that occurs as consumers are facing external events. Its is to say do these external factors such as music during advertising influence the attention and the process of information, or do they directly takes part of the forming attitude process. Then we can especially focus on the Classical conditioning approach and effects on attitude (if there is) as Gerald J. Gorn does in his research. But before explaining the theory, on which the research is based, let focus on its objectives. As explained earlier, the purpose of the two experiments are to demonstrate if there is a scientific connection between the sensory features added to information in an advertisement and the attitude(s) and preference(s) shaped toward the attitude...

...Kim, Hyoungjoo MU106-M03 November 27 2013 Concert Report for My Music Class I attended the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s “Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto “on Sunday, November 3, 2013 at New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. The hall was much more magnificent than I expected. In addition, the deep hum of a thousand voices work up the excitement of me, I’m not a big fan of classical music concerts though at the entrance. At the beginning of the concert, the orchestra who is armed with tuxedos and full dress was seated on the stage. The concertmaster came out to tune the orchestra, and then the conductor made his entrance. They performed music from Hungary, Germany and Russia. Zoltán Kodály’s Dances of Galanta is the Hungarian work and Tchaikovsky’s beloved Piano Concerto No. 1 is the Russian piece. In addition, they explained these make significant use of folk music, adapting them in individual and compelling ways. By contrast, Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, which we hear before intermission, is more in keeping with the Viennese symphonic tradition. The combination of an abstract Germanic formal model with more geographically focused musical content gives this concert its profile. First, Zoltán Kodály’s Dances of Galanta opens with a cello melody with strong dotted rhythm. After that by the strings, they played the same theme by French horn, and then passed around the orchestra. The next, played clarinet soloist it was brief cadenza before...

...just flows? Or have you been to a party without music? It is guaranteed that people will hardly interact with each other until some sort of music is turned on. It’s like an invitation for people not to feel awkward anymore. Music is one powerful element that greatly influences people, mindsets and culture. Think about it, music is so important that in sport competitions, players do not step on the stage taking the microphone announcing how proud they are to be representing their country. They could do that, or just simply sing their national anthem in a very passionate way to bring the entire crowd of supporters to tears. That is how powerful music is. An ancient philosopher called Socrates once said, “Let me control the music of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” He knew how important music influences culture. He also knew how music can shape and impact others for either to bring about good or bad. For instance, polls done in the United States amongst american teenagers about definition of what the word success is, did not go much further than just having many cars, a mansion and lots of girls. This is due to the media feeding them this everyday in their music videos, resulting into poor understanding of what living successfully really means. You may say that you only listen to a certain kind of music as your personal pastime or to “pump” you up, but is it really helping you grow? What happened to the music in which it’s lyrics are full of poetry and that...

...1.The Change from English to American When the American Revolution started in 1775, around two and a half million people lived in the thirteen colonies. The vast majority had emigrated from England or were descendants of English settlers. Most called themselves English and still felt a strong bondwith the customs and traditions of their faraway homeland. When war erupted, this connection was put to the test. Many saw the colonists’ reasoning behind their revolt but could not bring themselves to lift a hand against mother England; therefore, they tried to remain neutral. Others were so fiercely devoted to England that they instead formed loyalist groups that aided the English military forces. 2 Before the revolution, there was one major difference between an Englishman in England and one in America. Men with property in England had the right to vote for representatives in Parliament. Their grievances were heard, and they had the power to effect changes. This was not so in America as the American colonies lacked representatives in Parliament. The colonists had their own legislatures as well as some measure of autonomy, but even this power was subject both to British law and the rule of a local British governor. Thus men who considered themselves Englishmen in America were treated as American colonists by their counterparts in England. Many American colonists were of the opinion that they possessed rights beyond what their supposed rulers in England were willing to grant them...
