This piece was written by Dan Forrest, an american composer and musical author. It was written as a prayer for peace in a time of terrorism, war and violence. It is a plea for people to provide rest for themselves and others. It was finished in 2012, and was started on September 12, 2002. Dan Forrest is an anti-violence religionist, who believes that all people have the right to their own religion. His songs are not religion specific. This piece was written after the September 11 attacks, and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful pieces ever written.
This piece utilizes a lot of repetition, as the main melody line is bounced around different parts. It also has a lot of small musical motifs, which allow the composes to introduce
It began slowly and included a few lines sung by Andrew Wall and Hayo Eiben, but the tempo quickly increased with a sound mimicking the crack of a whip and jingle bells provided by high school percussionists Cassie Gillmore and Anna Loes. The song was written for two parts and is noted as having parts for soprano, alto and bass. It was written in 1996, which is the 20th century musical era. It was composed by Nancy Price, who has a bachelor of music and master of music degree in music education. She is widely recognized for being a choral clinician and festival conductor.
The song doesn’t become so religious that it turns people away from the song, but it seems to be more on par with the other reactions. The religious aspects allowed me realize how other people surrounding my family reacted. It will allow people in the future who are religious to relate to this

Within the video Applebaum refers to the question, “Is it Music?” for the audience to ponder throughout his presentation.

Applebaum presents the audience with ten roles that he uses within his music.
Working class music still exist but due to the cultural diversity it is difficult to pin point working class music to a specific genre of music. Due to an overall paradigm shift in American culture working class music is typically categorized as country or Rock and roll influenced music. I agree with the author of this article when he states that “Rap is presented as the extreme ends of a spectrum: abject poverty and glittering wealth.” The culture of rap has shifted from hard work in exchange for goods to illegal work or high income legal work. The modern rap culture has been injected with steroids in areas of wealth and flashy exterior social class symbols.
Music can affect us in a variety of ways, one of the most common being inspiring us. Biblical songs were mostly made to praise G-d, however, some also inspire us to understand the capabilities of the Jewish people. The songs, “Song of Deborah”, and “Az Yashir”, tell the tales of the Jewish people overcoming a powerful foe through the assistance of G-d and individual representations of bravery. These songs inspire us to act and do what we believe is the righteous and important.
They felt that it took believers closer to God and softened their hearts and minds so that they might receive God 's message. This song has survived centuries of social and political
Later on, in 1946, Ned Washington would release the song with written lyrics and go on to incorporate the title as part of those lyrics three quarters of the way into the song. In 1947, a version recorded by Harry James and his orchestra would be released to the public. In that recording, there are hardly any solos, the musicians instead performing the song straight forward without variation. The song begins with a rhythm that is carried on by the piano, with occasional violins popping up to declare themselves more and more until the ending, when a soothing acoustic rhythm guitar backs up a hopefully romantic harmonica part. The tempo is never sped up or slowed down except near the end when the violins ease out their final notes, and the pitch
This song is a prime example of how religion has been incorporated into many factors of popular
Into the Woods is a broadway musical that was first performed on December 4, 1986 with music and lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim. I 've performed in dozens of musicals, but this one is by far my favorite. The story line intertwines fairytales, and shows how they helped and fought each other in gruesome conditions. The main family in this show is the baker and his wife who must locate items from different fairytales in order to lift a curse placed on them by a witch. The curse has prevented the family from bearing any children, but they prevail in their quest and the baker 's wife has her baby in the second act. "
The melody of this song described as restlessly chromatic and undulating, a swaying Arabic-sounding tune. The melodic line is filled with emotion and oddly unbalanced consisting of seven alternating sections of held tones and movement. The harmony is added behind the melody is dissonant but simultaneously lush. The rhythm was played with in Ella’s version making the classic song her own giving the clarinet a smooth solo. The simple rhythm of the song has an AABA pattern it sticks too.
It remains quite repetitive until the end of the piece. “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla” is a piece of art that is performed in an instrumental fashion by an orchestra. Listening to this song reminded me of someone enjoy a day, and suddenly something goes wrong which inflicts a sense of fear. The music was quite soothing in the beginning, but towards the end began to put listeners on edge by the eerie sounds being produced. I think this was a great choice for the opening piece because it captured the listener’s attention.
Introduction Roger’s and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is arguably one of the most well known films that many can admit to watching at least once in their lifetime. People all around the world have found this musical inspiring, as it documents growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. This incredibly well written film is based on the story of the Von Trapp family who escaped Austria when the Nazis invaded it during the war. Part of what made this movie so interesting on so many different accounts was the music that accompanied the vivid and exciting scenes. Without music, many could agree that our world would be a sad, quiet, dull and depressing place.
Because we are strong and unstoppable, nothing can stop change, and growth, nothing can stop us from evolving into a better society. Even when they continue to murder our “prophets”, the influential people of the world, who encourage change and demands the we become better as a whole. Even when those people like Malcome X, J.F.K, Gandhi, their legacy lives on and continues to inspire. According to the song, perhaps the death of these leaders needed to happen to fulfill a greater
For many centuries, both the church and the synagogue accepted the picture of Jesus Christ and the bride/church as being the true meaning behind the Songs. Other scholars in the early 1800’s, interpreted the book as a literal interpretation of a man’s love for
The music of video games has changed greatly in the past decades. The sound has gradually evolved from chiptunes to symphonies performed by full orchestras, and many of the tracks are composed by world famous artists. Yet, in spite of its ever growing popularity, it is still hardly considered a serious and respectable genre of music that could hold its own in the world of today's music industry. The United States' annual music awards show, The Grammy awards, has only recognized video game soundtracks two times in its history; most recently in the year 2012 when the compelling soundtrack for the ps3 game Journey by Austin Wintory was nominated in the Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media category. It was a huge step for the lovers of the genre;
