Luigi Boccherini Luigi Boccherini was a prolific composer, particularly of chamber music with a distinctive and highly wrought style, and he is the chief representative of Latin instrumental music during the Viennese Classical period. Boccherini was also an exceptional cellist. Luigi Boccherini (his baptismal first name Rudalfo was never used) was the son of a cello or double bass player, Leopoldo Boccherini. Luigi was born in Lucca, Italy in February 19, 1743. The Boccherini family had considerable
Petyr Baelish, Lord Baelish, Little Finger, The Master of Coin; he goes by many names, which in a way adds to his ambiguity. Not only is he ambiguous, but he embodies all of Joseph Campbell’s characteristics of a trickster. Petyr Baelish is a good ally to have because he is so sly, but one must remember he always has a trick up his sleeve and could turn into a foe at any second, if that is what is in his best interest. Petyr Baelish is almost always playing a trick on someone. One of his tricks was
Paragraph one. Ah yes let's talk about Macbeth and King Ahab. Now I know that many don't know who King Ahab was but who really needs to know who he was when MACBETH WAS 100% COPYRIGHTED FROM HIS LIFE. So if you know Macbeth, you know King Ahab. Macbeth was from the Shakespeare play Macbeth, where he killed people for his power. King Ahab was a King in Israel from 871-852 B.C. who was viewed as their most evil king. Although Macbeth is just a character from a play, his life follows the life of King
Florence moved to Chicago where she became a member of the "Panama Trio" alongside Bricktop and Cora Green. They played at the Panama Café along with jazz notables Alberta Hunter, Glover Compton, and Mezz Mezzrow. Another admirer of the trio was the legendary Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who gave personal tap lessons to Florence. About one year later, the Panama Café was shut down by the police due to a shooting scandal. The trio played on at other local venues for a short time until they broke
There was once a trio that loved their lives. They had an incredible existence. Don’t get me wrong, they were no trio of friends, but in fact just a trio of animals living in a lavish house. They couldn’t even stand to look at each other. However, this was going to change all too soon. The first animal I would like to introduce to you is a cat named Cat. Cat is a gray British Shorthair cat with a sunrise kind of yellow eyes. Next there is a dog named dog. Dog is a Dalmatian with eyes that have the
“A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad” (Robert Wagner). A dog is constant during every important season in your life. Whether it is going into highschool, your sweet sixteen, advancing to college, or your first move. The 2014 Chevy Commercial can speak towards anyone whose background consists of having a dog they were attached to. Many people are able to relate to the commercial because they may have had dogs with them during the same
Bright lights, cameras, and thousands of people surrounded us, well, maybe not. One spotlight rested on the dirty cafeteria floor with a couple rows of people. Whoops! I meant parents. My brother, our friend Alex, and I stood on the tiny stage with our lustrous instruments. The crowd began clapping, and I ran like the wind off the stage. While I stood backstage with my hands shaking, I realized that my brother had led me through thick and thin. He always led me to the light at the end of every tunnel
September 13, 1874, to a Jewish family in Vienna. He taught himself composition, with help in counterpoint from the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky, and in 1899 produced his first major work, the tone poem Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) for string sextet. In 1901 he married Zemlinsky's sister Mathilde, with whom he had two children. The couple moved to Berlin, where for two years Schoenberg earned a living by orchestrating operettas and directing a cabaret orchestra. In 1903 Schoenberg returned

materials with new ideas, Bök re-imagines Dadaist Hugo Ball’s poem “Seepferdchen und Flugfische (Seahorses and Flying Fish)” by infusing it with his own tempos, pitches, and exclamation points. The “language” in this poem does not consist of words but a string of nonsensical sounds like “billabi”, “zack”, and “bisch!” Can language still be “language” without words? To be effective, language must be able to communicate ideas. Bök’s “language” then, communicates ideas through explosions of non-meanings
numerous variables that might effect the time taken to oscillate. Factors effecting periodic time =============================== The factors, which might affect the time taken for a pendulum to complete one swing, are: 1. The length of string 2. Weight of bob 3. Angle of release The variables which I will be excluding from this experiment are: Gravity. This is a force pulling a mass down at a constant rate (at 10 Newton's, or to be precise 9.8 Newton's). Also no matter the
Pillows fills my ears like the soft sunlight filtering through the shades of my window, bringing light to my dark world. I am awake without effort. The light tapping of the cymbals dispels the ethereal world of dreams around me. The strum of the guitar strings come again insistently, pushing my eyelids slowly open as I find my way from the world of dreams. As I sit up at the edge of my bed, vision bleary, the clear vocals of the day-dreaming singer bring the daylight to full realization. A soft synthesized
The Concept of Transcendence in Heidegger ABSTRACT: The history of Heideggerian commentaries confront us with a string of parallel concepts: metaphysics and theology, onto-theology and Christian theology, thought and faith, Being and God, and so on. It should also be noted that these different dual concepts have served, in various ways, several strategies for the interpretation of Heidegger. These various strategies are summarized as follows: the relation between philosophy and theology in the

This poem revolved around repetition. And it was the repetition that makes the reader aware of the love that Margaret has for her father. Her poem starts with “All those times I was bored out of my mind. Holding the log while he sawed it. Holding the string while he measured, boards, distances between things, or pounded stakes into the ground for rows and rows of lettuces and beets, which I then (bored) weeded”(588). Atwood is obviously conveying to the reader that the time she spent with her father
stretching materials and picking/plucking them that they would produce sounds and that the tighter you stretched these strings the higher the sound would go. These were the early beginnings of the pianoforte. The first ancestor of the modern pianoforte is the monochord (diagram 1). A monochord is a wooden box with a single string stretched lengthwise down the middle. The string sits raised on bridges very dissimilar to those of a violin or cello. These bridges positioned approximately 2 inches
will marry the one who can string and shoot Odysseus’s bow through all the twelve axes. None of the suitors were able to bend the bow and string it. Odysseus disguised as a beggar then asks if he can try the bow. “Meantime wise Odysseus, when he handled the great bow and scanned it closely, — even as one well-skilled to play the lyre and sing stretches with ease round its new peg a string, securing at each end the twisted sheep-gut; so without effort did Odysseus string the mighty bow. Holding it

The CD’s in the drawer I am sure have been pulled out, and again returned depending on the mood, or the company. As for the artists of these CD’s, mostly String Cheese, a semi blue grass band with a song for every mood. At the far back of my cluttered drawer there are several tools. The tools you would find in my drawer are common tools. The tools needed just for the basic workshop. Both kinds of screw drivers
MOZART Mozart is perhaps the greatest musical genius who ever lived. Mozart 's full name is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Most people called him Mozart or Wolfgang. Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, January 27, 1756. Mozart is the greatest musical child prodigy who ever lived. He began composing minuets at the age of 5 and symphonies at age 9. His father took him on a series of concert tours together with his sister, Maria Anna; born four and one-half years before Mozart. She too, was a child
factors: * Angle of displacement * Length of string * Pendulum weight I am going to investigate and see if varying the length of string will affect the period of the pendulum. My prediction is: The longer the string the longer the period. The period will be longer as the pendulum has farther to travel. My theory is demonstrated below. Pendulum A has a shorter string. This gives it a shorter period. Pendulum B has a longer string and has a much larger period as it has farther to
