...The Baroque Orchestra By Nunana Akoli Music during the Baroque period is known as the foundation for what is classical music, and one extremely important type of music is the Baroque Orchestra. This type of Orchestra was mainly practised from 1600 to 1750, following the death of one of the most influential composers of the time, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). During this time period, the Baroque Orchestra was created and developed by other very prominent composers of the time including George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713), Claudio Montreverdi (1567-1643), Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643), Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725), Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), Giovanni Bbattista Pergolesi (1710-1736) and many more. The Baroque period took advantage of the detailed use of polyphony, which is the texture which consists of 2 or more melodic tones that are woven together and played simultaneously, opposed to music that just consists of a single melodic voice or one with a more dominant melodic voice which would then be accompanied by chords. The orchestra itself was carried by a variety of different instruments including: Strings -Violin, The origins of the violin date back to as far as the 9th century and were thought to be first used by the Persian geographer named Ibn Khurradadhibih. JS Bach, Antonio Vivaldi and Arcangelo Corelli were well known for being talented violinists; Violins replaced Viols which were much...

...The Great Gatsby is a novel that reflects the 1920’s perfectly. Even though the book was written close to a century ago, its themes and messages are still applicable to today. By reading this story in between the lines, a reader will take away so much more. It is not only the skillfully written words on the surface that are important, but also the hidden meanings that can be found within those words. Gatsby’s frequent parties cover many aspects of the novel as they hold symbolism for Gatsby’s desire for Daisy, “new” money, and materialism. Throughout the story, it becomes evident that Gatsby throws his parties for reasons other than to entertain those around him. Gatsby has an underlying motive which proves his desire for Daisy. During the parties, Gatsby was almost impossible to find. This wasn’t because he was bouncing around socializing, but instead because he was watching the socializing from afar by himself. Nick is the one to witness this habit of his and narrates, “The nature of Mr Tostoff’s composition eluded me, because just as it began my eyes fell on Gatsby, standing alone on the marble steps and looking from one group to another with approving eyes.” (Fitzgerald 51). Gatsby is not drinking or taking any part in his gathering revealing that he does not throw parties to party. It is especially suspicious that Gatsby invites people over to drink and provides them with alcohol even though he is against drinking. It is said in the novel that “It is indirectly due...

...Costazuela, Spanish brothers who go on an awkward double date with Florence and Olive. These guys are really funny, but are not in the play for long. Florence try’s to loosen up but ends up crying in front of the men witch make them cry which makes the mood a little different for a romantic dinner. All olive wants is to not be alone, but also not be with Florence either that’s why she had the men come for dinner, but Florence ruined that because she wants her husband back and not these men. Florence does not even think about olive and what she wants at this point. All Florence wants is a clean house, a nice meal, and her kids. The characters of the play had very distinct parts were they had to feel their character to make the audience believe that these events in the play were really going on in their life witch I thought they did a great job at that. They have shown the 80’s how it really was, the smoking, heavy make-up, the loud cars in the background, the clothes they had on were all perfect for each characters part. The theatre space for this play is called a proscenium or picture-frame stage, because the audience is only in the front of the audience, the lighting is over the orchestra space facing the...

...Manhattan's black Renaissance. It began with Shuffle Along, Running Wild, and the Charleston. Perhaps some people would say even with The Emperor Jones, Charles Gilpin, and the tom-toms at the Provincetown. But certainly it was the musical revue, Shuffle Along, that gave a scintillating send-off to that Negro vogue in Manhattan, which reached its peak just before the crash of 1929, the crash that sent Negroes, white folks, and all rolling down the hill toward the Works Progress Administration. Shuffle Along was a honey of a show. Swift, bright, funny, rollicking, and gay, with a dozen danceable, singable tunes. Besides, look who were in it: The now famous choir director, Hall Johnson, and the composer, William Grant Still, were a part of the orchestra. Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle wrote the music and played and acted in the show. Miller and Lyles were the comics. Florence Mills skyrocketed to fame in the second act. Trixie Smith sang "He May Be Your Man But He Comes to See Me Sometimes." And Caterina Jarboro, now a European prima donna, and the internationally celebrated Josephine Baker were merely in the chorus. Everybody was in the audience--including me. People came back to see it innumerable times. It was always packed. . . . When I saw it, I was thrilled and delighted. . . . It gave just the proper push--a pre-Charleston kick--to that Negro vogue of the 20's, that spread to books, African sculpture, music, and dancing.

...of 14 children born on October 21, 1925, in the Santo Suarez a neighborhood in Havana, Cuba (A&E). Her singing talent started when she was young but instead of pursuing a career in singing, she studied to be a teacher (Marceles). Her father told her that he did not believe that singing was a profession for a woman, not putting any thought into what her father said she still went after what she taught right, a career in singing after the strong encouragement coming from her mother, teacher and aunt. Celia began singing in talent shows and doing recordings for radio stations, but neither were sold for money she did it recreationally. Her first recordings were made in 1978 in Venezuela with the Turpial label (A&E). She sang these with the Leonard Melody and Alfonso Larrain orchestras (Marceles). Later In 1950, she was called in to be the lead singer of a Cuban band, La Sonara Matancera. At first, the public did not like her because she was black, and as we know a few years back blacks where very discriminated in the music industry or any kind of industry. Eventually after all her hard work, and the fact that the orchestra stood by her, the public accepted her and she became famous...

...Vacations Doris A. Davis Vacations Cruises appeal to many travelers because they are considered all-inclusive vacations. Pay one price and receive accommodations, meals, entertainment, and transportation between island and port destinations. But once onboard, many cruisers find themselves shelling out hundreds of additional dollars for shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, and gratuities. What happened to their supposedly all-inclusive vacation? Many land-based resorts also refer to themselves as all-inclusive, yet [the properties offer a different set of included amenities. As I look at the picture my mind can imagine exactly what my experience would be. So what does it really mean to be all-inclusive? I have compared the pictures of all-inclusive resort and cruises at sea I believe all-inclusive land resort vacations are the best. All-inclusive cruises and resorts tend to include different amenities in the base price. Book a mainstream cruise, and you'll receive accommodations, all meals and snacks, certain beverages at meal times, use of the ship's facilities (such as the pool, kids club, and fitness center), onboard activities and entertainment, and transportation between ports-of-call. You will have to pay extra for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, tips for a waiter, spa treatments, shore excursions, airfare, and airport transfers. Luxury liners may include tips for the waiter and alcohol in their base price. On the other hand, book an all-inclusive resort package...

...of five. His father was in the fish export business as well as the British Couselship. His mother was a singer, a pianist, a piano teacher, a famous accompanist and shadowed Ole Bull as well. The music gene must have run through the family as Grieg's brother and sister were also interested in playing very early on. As a child, Grieg did not do well in the academic section of school, but was quickly became interested in composing. It was around that time that Norway had gained its independence and haf just entered a period of romanticized cultural nationalism. This is what gave Grieg most of his inspiration. Ole bull had visited Grieg's mother at her home for dinner when he had Grieg playing something of his own on the piano. Recognizing the talent that Grieg had, Ole Bull suggested to Grieg's parents that they send Grieg to study at the Leipzig Conservatory in 1858. At the school, Grieg became disinterested in what they were learning, which was the musical past. However, he was fascinated by the musical compostitions of recent composers such as Fryderyk Chopin, Richard Wagner, and Robert Schumann. They would add to the inspiration for his great works. He was working on some pieces wgen pleerisy...
