Listening Reflection #1 – After your first hearing of this piece, please jot down some initial impressions. Any reaction or response is valid! 20 points After hearing this song for the first time, I couldn’t help but think of another symphony composed by Joseph Haydn. This is Symphony No. 94 in G Major, or “Surprise”. His Symphony No. 6 reminds me of his Symphony No. 94, especially during the middle of the symphony because of its dynamics and instrumentation, but the beginning of Symphony No.6

Another composer who played an important role in the development of the Symphony is no other than Joseph Haydn, the ‘Father of Symphony’. One of his works, Symphony no. 92 in G Major, Hob I:92, composed in 1789, will be reviewed. “Oxford” Symphony was commissioned by Count d’Ogny for the Loge Olympique Concerts in Paris.

consisted of three movements. The three movements generally followed the form of “fast – slow- fast”. The first movement was generally referred to as “allegro”, the second movement “andante”, and the third and last movement was generally a dance e.g. minuet or a gigue.

The dance was originally a circle dance and not a danced by individual couples. The style of dance is Latin American in a 2/4 time signature

checking it every two minuets to see if there’s something new on social media, or one of your friends texted you.

Phones aren’t the only distraction but I definitely think it’s one of the biggest; I definitely struggle with that

note of from that class will be right there in that section. When you go to study the best way is not to just go over it for a few moments, then quit, it is to study the topic for ten minuets then take a break then go back to it and keep repeating that sequence.

What I mean by that is some people stay up all night studying and then go to school looking like a zombie because they did not get any sleep, or they get up really early

We walked around the plane and examined it. It was amazing that a machine this big could fly like the birds. After a few more minuets passed by, Keith surprised us by saying that the biplane was his and that he would let us take a ride in it with him if we wanted to. I eagerly turned to our father, who was smiling, and asked him if I could. He said that it would be alright. I could not believe it, I was going to get to ride in an airplane! Keith ran back into the the building and returned with

register because someone else had just asked them like a minuet ago. I asked those people if they already registered and or plan to register and most said yes but when I checked on a couple of them in a few minutes they were still texting or watching a video on their phone.

The Deaf patient was actually running behind schedule so we continued to wait in the lobby. Mrs. Shaw explained to me that for every 1 hour of the assignment, it is appropriate to wait 15 minuets for

literacy improvement has progressed nicely this study period. Although, I understand this will be a long process - as mentioned in Grellier and Goerke (2014), the best way to develop your reading and writing skills is to do hours of exercise - each minuet step I take to improve will be beneficial. Even with my hectic life schedule, I have managed to implement all the strategies mentioned in Assessment one. The first step I needed to take was to advance my vocabulary.

"Fanfare for the Common Man" by Arron Copland was composed in 1942, and was written during World War 2. The contrast between the loud, bright, assertive tones and the soft, slightly mysterious tones that you hear within the music is quite unique. The spirit and form of this piece gives it that almost inspiring and patriotic feel. This piece is orchestrated from various trumpets, horns, trombones, tubas, timpanis, bass drums, and gongs. "It don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing") by

1. What aspect (e.g. use of voice, playing actions and intentions, focus and commitment to role) of your own performance do you believe you did well in? Explain The aspect I believe I did well in was my focus and commitment. By choosing Kath and Kim I knew the play would be a challenge, because the characters were so familiar amongst the audience.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in December 1770 to a musical family living in Bonn, Germany. Although he and his family celebrated his birthday on 16 December, there is no evidence to suggest that this was his exact date of birth, with only the registry of his baptism on the 17th serving as the commonly accepted birth date of this legendary composer. As a child, Beethoven was musically trained by his father and later by other local musicians. His talent was evident from a young age and, exploited

The murder of Denise Amber Lee took place on January 17th, 2008, in Florida. Lee was abducted from her home that morning, and was found dead later that day. Her death can be attributed to the lack of communication between police and the emergency telecommunication center. During the course of the day five 911 calls were made, one of which came from Lee on her abductors phone. The question stands today, would Lee still be alive if the 911 dispatchers had notified the police of certain 911 calls.

With the opening chord of this finale, it establishes the key of major. The first three notes are simply the tonic chord of C major followed

However, as time progressed the fourth movement became a new adaptation and this was usually a ‘Minuet and Trio.’ The Romantic symphony consisted of the same basic structure. However, a few adaptations occurred such alternating the order of movements or starting with a slow

A large number of the Classical structures, for example, sonata, theme and variations, minuet and trio and rondo form, which developed keeping in mind the end goal to exploit the emotional potential outcomes offered by homophony, were abandoned. The new Romantic structures were governed by spontaneity, expression, thoughts, individualism
