...began to compose and release folk-rock and pop songs. Leonard Cohen is not famously known for his singing abilities, instead his unique voice tone in songs he sings, as exemplified by our choir class as well as critiques. Cohen’s most popular song by far was Hallelujah which is even now a TV talent competition staple, who’s many ironies include the fact that its parent album was rejected by his record company in 1983. Hallelujah's path to ubiquity has so many meanders that there is an entire book devoted to it. Hallelujah even appeared in the movie Shrek boosting its popularity as Shrek was one of Disney’s biggest hit. His other songs did not reach quite far as Hallelujah as he is commonly referred to as “that guy who wrote Hallelujah”. Though Hallelujah was the most popular Cohen song, it was no necessarily the best song that he wrote What makes him distinctive is that he is both a poet and an artist, but those are not the only factors that make him different. His type of music is folk music, but unlike other artist his music does not specifically stick to folk music. It strays away from folk into a bit of gospel, pop and rock. The piece we sang, Hallelujah fits perfectly into the kind of music he writes. He write about love and hate, his album is also named “Love and Hate”, in many of his song he is constantly on a quest into searching for something and expressing it through his poetic skills and musical talents. Hallelujah is about a man who...

...raise the question that does creative expression in music convey God's attributes? And how much of a significant does it really give? Handel's "Messiah" is a great example of how knowledge and the nature of God/the holy can be conveyed through the use of music. The song “Messiah" was written by a German composer, George Friederic Handel and is one of the most well-known pieces of music. "Messiah" is an oratorio (a sacred text set to music without drama) and was first performed on 13th April 1742 in Dublin and received its London premiere nearly a year later. Handel's Messiah is divided into three different parts: part one focuses on the Isaiah prophecies about Jesus and the Messiah. Part two is based around Jesus death and therefore part three focuses on his resurrection. The 'Hallelujah' chorus is the most popular part of the composition and has been adapted into modern versions sung by various artists around the world. Furthermore the actual oratorio libretto was written by Charles Jenners, the song has several biblical scriptures which are from Old Testament and the New Testament. The song is split into 3 parts, the first part of the song is the prophecy of the coming Messiah, the second part of the song shows the life of Jesus, his suffering and how died. The last part is about Jesus' resurrection and judgement. The piece of music conveys insight of God and Handel himself...

...MUSIC IN THE BEGINNING WHICH MUSIC IS OF GOD? Intro: We were created for praise and worship. The greatest desire of our life should be to praise and worship God. The reason we live is to worship Him. Worship is our first responsibility to God. God did not need to create you, but He chose to create you for His enjoyment. You exist for His benefit, His glory, His purpose and His delight. “Because of His love God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His children-this was His pleasure and purpose.” (Ephesians 1:5) When we worship, our goal is to bring pleasure to God, not ourselves. Worship is not a part of your life; it is your life. Worship not just for church services. We are told to “worship Him continually” and to “praise Him from sunrise to sunset.” Praise should be the first activity when you open your eyes in the morning and the last activity when you close them at night. David said, “I will thank the Lord at all times. My mouth will always praise Him.” God is seeking for worshippers: John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. * The spirit part of an unsaved man is dead. * However, the spirit part of those who have received Jesus in their lives is alive. * There can be no true worship unless our spirit is alive. This happens when we receive Jesus as our personal Savior. I. Music in the...

...other. As the music started to come on the wife started to brush him off as if she was trying to groom him while getting ready. The music throughout was at an allegro pace because it stayed upbeat. As she broke off from him she went into a solo by herself where she performed a développé and an attitude on pointe. The wife traveled upstage on a diagonal where she did a pencil turn to grab the brown suitcase. She then traveled towards the husband, center stage, where she then jumped onto his back sliding down the left side of his body. The movements during this pas de deux were very fluid that broke into static poses. The wife left stage right leaving the husband facing towards the back standing upstage center. The music changed into another song where he then performed a solo of balletic movements that consisted of pirouettes, a cabriole, and a series of extensions of his right leg. He kept reaching into his pockets like he was looking for something, but could not find what it was. As he finished his solo, he traveled back to where he started being very pedestrian while grabbing hit top hat and suitcase off the floor. The lights dimmed, the music changed and the secretary entered stage right standing in the downstage corner. During this pas de deux with the secretary and husband, the movements where very sassy and had a sexual feeling. While he was sitting at the desk, the secretary danced on top of the desk using it as leverage to “seduce” him. The two had a lot of partnering work...

...The Baroque Era from 1600 – 1750 is a significant time period where styles used in music, visual arts and literature, art, and music followed the Renaissance Era. Music expanded by way of more instruments invented and perfected as well as the addition of vocals to musical compositions. Lyrics were precise in meaning to communicate an underlying meaning or message. The focus of the church was still dominating, but musical styles continued to expand including secular compositions as the Baroque period continued. The historical development of the oratorio genre was significant to the Catholic and Protestant church throughout Europe during the Baroque period and grew as an influential style of music for many composers and churches today (Chapter...

...My Spiritual Gifts Part 1 [pic] Eunice T. Payne June 5, 2014 Revised August 13, 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked to go online and take a spiritual gift test my first thought was, (“Lord what the world is coming to”?) We really have to rely on the internet for everything these days?” Then I thought hey why not take it what can it hurt, I’ll go on and humor them. As I started to read the questions I felt like the questions needed more substance or needed to be worded differently; not realizing the devil was trying to discourage me from reading what I was about to find out. \ By the time I finished the test it read PASTOR, FAITH, GIVING. Each word had a meaning or explanation for each one. I looked real hard at “Pastor” and laugh then I called my son who is a minister and yes he’s from the old school like his momma. I said son I just took this test and explained to him what is was for. Of course he had the same reaction as I did when I was told about the site. He laughed. Well as we went on in conversation I gave him the end results and said now what I look like being a Pastor. I mean I have been around a lot of spiritual gifted people for most of my life and have been told by several that there’s an anointing on my life or that my light shines bright and have a spirit of victory, but never did I hear anyone say I would be a pastor or fit those shoes. Then a voice said you have been ministering to people young and old for over 20 years and you don’t...

...Contact Us Site Map Home Publications Index by Author by Subject ABC's Farm Lessons One Step Poems Prayer USA Historical The Story Behind The Psalms by Dr. Jack Hyles PREFACE There are three books in the Bible from which I read every day—the Psalms, the Proverbs and the book of Acts. I read the Psalms for love, the Proverbs for wisdom and the book of Acts for power. These three things—love, wisdom and power have for years been on the top of my prayer list. One day while meditating on one of the Psalms, I found myself wondering where the author was when he wrote it, what the circumstances were surrounding its writing and what exactly prompted the author to compose such a masterpiece. I fled to the library of my memory and the refuge of my commentaries until my temporary search became long research. This venture was so enjoyable that I traveled the historical path of another Psalm, then another, then another, which soon led to a series of Bible studies at the First Baptist Church of Hammond on the conditions and circumstances surrounding the writing of each of the Psalms. It makes our study richer as we stand beside the author as he writes and as we feel his heartbeat, watch his tears, enjoy his laughter and join in his praise. May the author beg scholastic mercy of the reader. The following words were not penned to be examined by the microscope of the scholar but rather to be enjoyed by the study of the saint. With lovingkindness, a prayerful spirit...

...rendition of a familiar hymn. That signaled the start of a service that followed the same format familiar to most evangelical congregations. There was a time of welcome. Some more announcements were made by one of the ministers. Suddenly the lights dimmed in the sanctuary and the huge screens on the walls showed a video of a young woman who gave us her testimony to the saving grace of Christ in her life. The video stopped and a live camera feed showed her being baptized by our pastor. The worshippers clapped, some cried, and loud exclamations could be heard throughout the congregation. The screens went dark, the lights came back up, and hymns and praise songs were sung. The Minister of Music was backed by the orchestra and a 200-person choir as he led us in the singing. The choir stood on risers behind the stage. The words to the songs were projected on the screens. After the congregational singing a small group of singers provided some special...

...Module 10 . LearningAcross Bord.ers: Disneyland. theMore on Ml0-25 DisneyGoesto Tokyo Crossingthe Pacific In the mid-I970s, the Oriental Land Company, a ]apanese development company that owned a large tract oflandfill east ofTokyo zoned for pubIic leisure activities, approached Disney with the idea of building a Disneyland in lapan. Six hundred acreswere set asidefor the project. But, in an era of conservative (caretaking) management at Walt Disney Productions, senior executivesat Disney were hesitant. After all, lapan was far away, quite distant in terms of culture, and Tokyo not only had much colder winters than California or Florida but endured a lengthy rainy seasonin lune and July. Yet, after exploring alternativeoptions at some length (including other sitesin Asia), Disney decided to go ahead. Nevertheless,it insisted on a deal that left Oriental Land with virtually all of the risk. Instead of taking an ownership position in Tokyo Disneyland, Disney demanded royalties of I0 percent of the revenues from admissions and rides, and 5 percent of the receiptsfiom food, beverages,and souvenirs. Disney also asked for and more or less received artistic control of the park. Its partner, with its experience in developmer-rt projects in Tokyo, looked after the complex relationships with local planning and regulatory authorities, financing, and adjacent development. At first glance,Tokyo Disneyland seemsto be a close physical and social copy of Disneyland...

This includes corrections, additional references and a short Bible survey that fills in some of the background material to the text. The first revision finally includes the material on the Tabernacle (section 2.5) and the beginnings of a study on the history of worship (chapter 3, incomplete), as well as some minor section renumbering. I still fully intend to add a chapter on leading worship, but I got a little sidetracked!

...Chapter One What It Means To Be To be Born Again 1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3:1-3,7. In this passage, Jesus had a discussion with a man called Nicodemus. Jesus was at home one night when Nicodemus came to him. Nicodemus was a very important person in town. He could have been a Member of Parliament or the Chairman of the Metropolitan Assembly. Perhaps, he was a patron of the Methodist Church, the Catholic Church or the Lighthouse Church. He was a very important person. The Bible says he was a ruler of the Jews, a master of Israel, a leader in the synagogues. Nicodemus would not come to see Jesus during the day. He came at night, so that all the people who respected him would not see him. This prominent Jewish leader said something to Jesus, which prompted Him to give an interesting reply. When you look at the passage, you wonder why Jesus said all that he said to the man. After all, Nicodemus did not ask him, “How can I go to heaven?” He said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou...

It rattled and creaked at every movement; the pail, hanging on behind, chimed in gruffly, and from these sounds alone and from the wretched rags of leather hanging loose about its peeling body one could judge of its decrepit age and readiness to drop to pieces. Two of the inhabitants of N. were sitting in the chaise; they were a merchant of N. called Ivan Ivanitch Kuzmitchov, a man with a shaven face wearing glasses and a straw hat, more like a government clerk than a merchant, and Father Christopher Sireysky, the priest of the...
