...Through the years of 1600 to 1820 there were two major musical eras the Baroque and Classical. Each era offered new innovations, impacted by historical events, which made them unique and relevant even in today’s time. During the Baroque era greats such as Bach and Handel emerged using their religious background to define music. During the Classical era Mozart, Beethoven, and others created this simplistic style that is still marveled by modern day musical enthusiasts. The Baroque era lasted from 1600 to 1750; this era can be broken into three different phases the early (1600-1640), middle (1640-1690), and late (1690-1750) (Kaimen 102). Two giants of this era where John Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frideric Handel (1685- 1759). The...

...The Middle Ages After the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Western Europe entered a time known as "The Dark Ages" — a period when invading hordes of Vandals, Huns, and Visigoths overran Europe. These years were marked by constant warfare, the absence of a Holy Roman Emperor, and the virtual disappearance of urban life. Over the next next nine centuries, the newly emerging Christian Church came to dominate Europe, administering justice, instigating "Holy" Crusades against the East, establishing Universities, and generally dictating the destiny of music, art, and literature. It was during this time that Pope Gregory I is generally believed to have collected and codified the music known as Gregorian Chant, which was the approved music of the Church. Much later, the University at Notre Dame in Paris saw the creation of a new kind of music called organum. Secular music was performed throughout Europe by the troubadours and trouvères of France. And it was during these "Middle Ages" that Western culture saw the appearance of the first great name in music, Guillaume de Machaut. The Last Supper by Tintoretto The Renaissance Generally considered to be from ca.1420 to 1600, the Renaissance (which literally means "rebirth") was a time of great cultural awakening and a flowering of the arts, letters, and sciences throughout Europe. With the rise of humanism, sacred music began for the first time to break free of the confines of the Church, and a school of...

...The text states that a lot of the early Persian religions were very similar to what the Aryans of India practiced. The religion is loosely based on the practice of Hinduism. As time passed, the core religious practice changed. During the Classical Era (1750-1820 AD) the popular choice was Zoroastrianism (Bently and Ziegler, pg. 142). This religion was led by a man named Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, who was a Seer from Persia. He believed that he was setting out visions of a god named Ahura Mazda. According to Zarathustra, Ahura Mazda was the creator of all things sound and holy. Ahura was the true god who should be praised. However, toward the end of the of the Classical Era, three primary religions developed in Persia; Buddhism, Christianity, and Manichaeism. What the textbook fails to tell the readers is that there were different highlights within the Aryan religion (Hinduism) that took place between the Aryan’s customs and the creation of Zoroastrian. There are three primary Pre-Zoroastrian Aryan religions that are noted: mazda...

The paradigm of this new attitude is Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance essentially personality, who dominated various divisions of knowledge, but just as Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio, Sandro Botticelli and Bramante artists were touched by the image of antiquity and concerned about developing new techniques of sculpture, painting and architecture, as well as music, poetry and the new humanistic sensibility. All this was part of the renaissance in the arts in Italy. Renaissance music is characterized by a gentle sound that comes from the acceptance of the third as consonant harmony interval and the progressive increase in the number of voices, all equally important and governed by the rules of counterpoint, independence of voices, preparation and resolution of the dissonances, using parallel thirds and sixths, excluding parallel fifths and octaves, and others. The prototype is a musical renaissance that is a piece of vocals polyphonic texture, often imitative, written for three to six sing able character voices, each melodic line or voice could be interpreted either with real voices or instruments.

...Classical music style took place between the years 1750 to about 1820. This style of music focuses on formal styles, induces classical traditions, requires complete attention from its listeners, and demands detailed criticism. As published in The New World Encyclopedia the writers explained, “Classical music is considered primarily a written musical tradition, preserved in music notation, as opposed to being transmitted orally, by rote, or in recordings of particular performances.” Classical music had a clear tune in contrast to the music composed throughout the Baroque era’s music, which consisted of different tunes merging together. Since the Baroque era came before the classical period you would think it would’ve influenced classical composers to continue with the same sound but instead decided to make their own. Baroque music is more know to be heavy as classical music has a much lighter sound to it. What’s most interesting about classical compositions is the how the different sounds are used to express the mood in a piece. Music made during the classical period usually contained one melody that all instruments played together; this made any song sound much more powerful. Each instrument would contribute its own range to a piece as whole. Classical concerts usually take place in more of a serious atmosphere and the audience is silent to prevent any distractions to the performer and to any of the audience members. One of the greatest known composers in the classical era...

...Classical conditioning shapes many of society's common, everyday tasks. Whether we know it or not, many actions we do numerous times a day are a direct result of classical conditioning. To better understand why we act the way we do in society, classical conditioning must be defined and described. Classical conditioning is defined as: a process by which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the capacity to elicit a response through association with a stimulus that already elicits a similar or related response. Discovered by Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a form of learning. Pavlov revealed this trait when experimenting with dog's amounts of saliva in response to meat. He started noticing that after many repetitions, the dogs were salivating before the meat was even introduced. Pavlov concluded that some other stimulus that was repetitively associated with the meat was triggering the salivation. This simple concept describes how many actions are carried out in society today. Many times classical conditioning is not something that is purposefully done, but rather an incidental outcome. Conditioning may take a variable amount of time to occur. For example, humans are not born associating red with stop. As we grow, and ride in cars, we begin to consciously or subconsciously figure out that when a stoplight is red-you stop. Stop signs are red, stoplights are red, and brake lights are red. All of these things symbolize stopping. Yes, when you turn sixteen and you get your...

...This time period encompassed at least part of three major art movements, including Baroque (1600-1750), Rococo (1700-1770), and Neoclassicism (1750-1880). The Baroque art period was classified by a theatrical and dramatic style that often had a religious subject, particularly focusing on Catholicism. Other characteristics of Baroque art include “energetic movement, common people, glorification of Catholicism due to the Catholic Reformation, verticality, and ornamented architecture.” Baroque art would not have aligned with the general ideals of the Great European and American Awakening, which was largely a Protestant, not Catholic, revival. Artists of the Baroque period included Annibale Caracci, Nicolas Poussin, Artemisia Gentileschi, Caravaggio, and Bernini, with some of the best-known works of art being The Ecstasy of St. Teresa, a sculpture located at the church...

...1. Literature of the 17th century. John Milton. “Paradise Lost”. John Bunyan. “Pilgrim’s Progress”. The peculiarities of the English literature of the 17th century are determined by the events of the Engl. Bourgeois Revolution, which took place in 1640-60. King Charles I was beheaded in 1649& General Oliver Cromwell became the leader of the new government. In 1660, shortly after Cro-ll’s death, the dynasty of the Stuarts was restored.
