Credo Rhetorical Analysis

Most of his first compositions show this. They are mostly in Latin and have more than one melody at the same time. One of his most famous works Spem in alium (meaning “In No Other Is My Hope”) shows this style of music. He wrote this around 1570 which is after King Henry VIII broke away from Rome.

Burning all Books but Saving One Word In an alternate future, where books were banned, and I could only save one book, I would actually only choose to save one word. The Word. I would preserve The Word of God; The Bible. Although it is not filled with complete scientific or mathematical knowledge or truths, it is full of religious truths.

This historical church connects well to the motto “That the future may learn from the past” because we can learn that people should be able to worship as the please and also we can learn about the type of music that was used. Since everyone had to attend Bruton Parish Church in Colonial times, this can teach us that people should be able to worship whoever they want or no one at all, whether they are Christian, Catholic, Muslim, or any religion really. From Peter Pelham, the first organist, we can learn what type of music was used back then and then we could innovate it and make it even better. The Bruton Parish Church was very important in colonial times, is still valuable today, and helps us learn from the

In the passage, Maya Angelou does not use powerful and strongly meaning words. Like in the sentence “Birds of a feather and all that, but I took a chance and told him Bailey was in Sing Sing.” (271), Maya Angelou is simply stating what she just said. She could have expanded on this sentence and used diction to provoke an emotional response to the reader. A more meaningful sentence would be: (Birds and feather and all that, but I took courage and told him a secret that I had. That Bailey, my only brother was in Sing Sing.)

The similarities and difference between the Italian and Northern Renaissances are greatly reflected by the works of Leonardo da Vinci and William Shakespeare. While both periods invoked a rebirth of humanism, the two artists suggest how the eras differed and resembled one another. For the most part, the Italian Renaissance and Northern Renaissance both emphasized the humanistic aspect of Catholicism. While Leonardo da Vinci illustrated some religious scenes, such as The Last Supper, Shakespeare shied away from any religious influence in his various plays. Both Leonardo da Vinci and William Shakespeare stressed the importance of man in their respective works, however, they used different techniques to achieve their goals.

The first thing is the implementing of vibrato. Until the early twentieth century, violinists make the conclusion that vibrato was not used as a connection and constant undercurrent in violin playing , but as a tool to highlight unique moments melodically or harmonically. However, Eugène Ysaÿe, the Belgian violinist changed their mind, he encouraged people to use continuous vibrato to make their sound more passionate and expressive, and Strauss 's sonata was also affected by this trend. Also in that time, portamento was widely used at every position change. Thus in order to play the sentimental emotion of this sonata well, violinists need to study how to use plenty of vibratos and expressive

Stravinsky only used short motifs or excerpts from melodies rather than a complete phrase - this became much more apparent in his compositional style from The Rite onwards. While composers previously had attempted to extract motifs to some degree, none had taken it to this extent. More often there would be a section dedicated to the folk tune rather than Stravinsky’s two-three measure motif which he repeats as an ‘ostinato’. As many of the rhythms on folk music would be quite dancelike, Stravinsky almost ‘denounces’ western rhythms which becomes a common concept in

Chapter 2 “Musical Instruments in the Tanakh” So from dissecting biblical text, it is said that Satan was the first created being to have music placed within him. As mentioned earlier on in this chapter, the first human documented in the Bible to handle a musical instrument was Jubal, yet although he may have been the source of all musical instruments as we know them now, it can be argued that few Christians understand the true spiritual significance of the instruments used in worship. If a true understanding is known of the spiritual significance of musical instruments, would this change the manner in which we worship?

According to Philip Gossett, it has been correctly demonstrated that, the chorus of Hebrew slaves “Va,pensiero” was not repeated at the first performance, the repeated chorus was “Immenso Jeovah,” and there are no evidence that the people viewed Verdi as a leader of the

I. SYNTHESIS At the mention of “Divine Revelation”, my thoughts on it before were very narrow and simple. Back then, I would have mostly thought of revelations that occurred during the time when Jesus Christ was still alive. I had this expectation that the revelations would be mostly relating to the prophecies that we know from the bible, or what the church is constantly saying is the message of God.

Crockett believed that the most important thing she should share was a hymn that inspired her. The hymn Crockett sung for the interviewer was from the New Prophet Church and is similar to some of the other spirituals we have read about in class. Out of all the spirituals we read, God’s a-Gonna Trouble the Water was the most similar to Crockett’s song, showing much repetition of one or two lines with very little rhyming involved, but centering around a biblical theme. The differences are made very clear though by the words of the song. While God’s a-Gonna Trouble the Water has very mournful tone and almost appears to be trying to give the slaves hope that, someday, God will help them, Crockett’s New Prophet Church hymn has a far happier feel and seems as though the weight has been lifted off of the African American’s shoulders.

I have chosen this article because the tittle seems very enticing. I want to know deeper information on how we can read people’s thoughts just by looking at them. I am also interested with the psychological issue so I decided to read and learn through this article. 4. Explain briefly in four or five sentences what the article is about.

This part of the play Miller uses rhetorical questions to emphasize the seriousness of this scene as to who is telling the truth and who is not. The character Danforth is prompting Proctor to not try to be a lawyer in these cases of witchcraft due to the fact that witchcraft is a serious accusation that only the victim and the witch herself can come forward to on the matter according to Danforth. Before Danforth speaks Proctor says that he is not indeed trying to be a lawyer to these cases in which Danforth explains in his line that by bringing witnesses he is indeed trying to be a lawyer to the cases. Danforth then at the end of his line asks if he has made his point emphasizing that he knows what he has said was true and he feels strongly

Brutus has already spoke and the people are waiting for Antony to speak. The people of Rome are persuaded that Caesar was ambitious and Brutus, Cassius and the other conspirators have saved Rome. Antony uses rhetorical questions, repetition, and parallelism to develop his message that Brutus and the conspirators are murderers. Antony uses rhetorical questions to develop his message.

Genre Throughout the different texts we analyzed in the first half of the quarter, we looked at the various genres of the texts in order to see how they affect rhetoric. Genres are important to rhetoric because they raise and manage expectations the audience might have for a specific work. This is because people have internalized the generic conventions of a genre. We delved into these conventions by analyzing different genres of texts such as Pitbull’s music video, film, various poems, and speeches. An example of how we analyzed a genre is how we annotated Horace’s poem about carpe diem.
