Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Guido was born towards the end of the 10th century in Italy, and learnt in the Benedictine Abbey near Ferrara. As a music teacher, one of the problems he experienced with his students was the fact that they were unable to sing by themselves despite singing for many years since they had not mastered even a single antiphon, which was generally a waste of time. The solution for this as suggested by Guido would be not to provide antiphons that lacked neumes (Taruskin & Gibbs 2012, Pg. 212). Another problem faced was ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Organizational managers are faced with daily challenges and are expected to make decisions that will impact the corporate performance. In many profit making organization, gross and net profit is the ultimate measure of success or failure. However, other parameters determine the operational efficiency in an organization that ought to be considered alongside the profits. I was working as an intern in Darby Consulting, small management consultant firm with operations in six states in the U.S. The organization was doing well in term of the profits that has increased exponentially over the past few years. The management was all content, ...

One of the most common devices that songwriters use to emphasize an idea or a motif in their work is repetition, both of standard words and onomatopoeias, written out sounds. In Kanye West’s song “Famous,” the speaker wants to emphasize some of the difficulties that go with being famous and dealing with famous people, particularly the disconnect between the idea that famous people have somehow come to deserve their fame on a moral level, as opposed to the often significant moral lapses in their lives. In the video that West made to accompany this song, there are nude ...

Introduction

The poems represent discontentment of two different writers who have negative feelings about the communist war taking place in Vietnam. In the song, “What Plant is Not Faded,” the speaker is a Chinese who participates in the war, but does not like the situation of the war as well as not subscribing to the idea of war (Evanson, 21). The voice of gloom is witnessed as he attempts to express his disapproval of the war. In the other folk song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” the speaker is a teenage girl who is entangled in the agony of ...

Video in Opera Stage

Introduction Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

A chemist may be draw to the science because it contains physics and mathematics, with results clearly defined. On the other hand, biology can be messy, with fluids and disrupted bodies and patient suffering. For the nursing professional, there may be the temptation to define a physical process present in a patient as either biological or chemical. Technically, the definition for biology is simply the “scientific study of living organisms” (TheFreeDictionary.com), while chemistry is “a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo” (Merriam-webster.com). However, the lines blur when ...

The poem “Love In Place”, written by Nikki Giovanni, is dedicated to the theme of love. It is clear that the poem is very personal and the poet shares the most intimate thoughts and emotions that she felt her life. In her sonnet the Giovanni tries to identify what is love and what this feeling means to her. Thinking about her past memories, the speaker tries to understand whether she has ever fallen in love in her life. This question seems to be rather significant for the poet. Moreover, while thinking about love, she tries to find some evidences ...

For my comparative essay I decided to take next songs: No Doubt – “Just a Girl” (1995) and Colbie Caillat – “Try” (2014). I was thinking a lot about the topic of these songs. It seems to be that they are about gender or sexual identity, because each of these songs is about girls imagine. But after listening to the lyrics several times I understood both of songs describe gender identity. These songs are about girls but very different images of girls. The first song by band “No doubt” tells us about typical American girl of middle 90: she has her ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Day One: 26 January 2017

I attended a funeral in the early morning, in a Catholic chapel. It was a traditional Requiem Mass, so there were several hymns involved. All of these except one were sung in a call-and-response manner, accompanied by an organ, with a lone soprano singing the verses, and the congregation singing the chorus sections. The last hymn, the recessional hymn, was sung by everyone all the way through. As is usual for hymns, they were slow and quiet in nature, and had one single line of melody, as this was not a professional choir. This was live music, accompanied by ...

Nowadays, it is extremely complicated to defend the alternative understanding of morality. For some reasons, an approach that the self-interest is opposite to true morality is supported by the majority of people, whereas Kant has underlined that duty, obedience and non-resistance are far from the real living of the life, and therefore – far from moral happiness. Answering to the common belief that morality and self-interest are on the other sides, I consider it important to point out that in fact, they cannot be separated from each other, since even the noblest of acts is not deprived of the at ...

Right from my early ages as a toddler, there are many people, objects as well as things that have influenced my life. However, just a few have become inspirational to me. First, music is one thing that inspires me most. My mother loved music, and the best she would do when I cry is sing for me. Thus, I grew up seeing music as a solution to all my problems. Later, at an age where I could listen and understand, I spent the better part of my day listening to music during my leisure times. More so, being the ...

Mill's utilitarian argument supports Singer's utilitarian argument about the obligation of an individual to assist starving people that are in absolute poverty. Although the Mill’s explanation makes Singer’s argument look overdemanding, both philosophers have nearly the same understanding. For instance, Mill claims that people should do good not to impress or profit the world but to achieve self-happiness (Kowalski 177). In doing so, the individual gets to help the world or the society in general. Just like Singer, Mill gives an example where one has a lunch date but on the way, meets a child in need ...

Before we delve into Singer’s arguments as outlined in the book, Exploring Ethics, it will be important that we familiarize ourselves first with the whole concept of ethics. Ethics in its simplest definition is that accepted code of behavior that is expected of a member of a society or a given profession. It involves the principles that enable one to know what is wrong and right. Singer in his book tries to bring the correlation between famine (and other evils), affluence as well as morality and how these come into play whenever ethics is being discussed. Singer tries ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

“The End of the Day” (1990) Materials used in the painting are oil and canvas. The painting is executed in realistic style. It depicts a quiet scene of family life: the end of the day, as the name suggests. The foreground depicts a women, holding a book, with a child sitting on her knees. This is a mother, who is reading a story for her daughter. Interestingly, there are no any scenes or objects on the background, it is just a brown wall, possibly wooden, as it becomes obvious from the texture. Thus, the painting reminds a close ...

1 Wagner starts his argument with referring to generally acknowledged dislike for Jews, noticed among people worldwide. The author defines it as “a rooted dislike of the Jewish nature” (Wagner 79). At the beginning of the article, the author claims this dislike to be almost completely irrespective of Arts, and Music as the particular art form. Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were both influential poets of their times, and they have each retained their popularity over the years since. Both poets often tackle the theme of spirituality, but their views differ; Dickinson approaches the topic from the position of the afterlife, whereas Whitman contemplates spirituality from the perspective of life on earth. The two poets differ in that Dickinson often writes from the perspective of someone who has already died, whereas Whitman uses speakers who are still alive on earth. The speaker of Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” is a ghost, ...

I must have heard music way much earlier than I can remember, but what comes to mind was when I was around three years old, I used to listen to music fro my dad’s audio system. He used to play music in the morning as he prepared to go to work, and my older siblings ready to leave for school. Over the years, I have grown to love and appreciate various types of music, though my favorite genre is house music. This kind of music is great and originated from Chicago in 1980s. It is classified as electronic ...

The only right decision, while giving a definition of culture is to define the main features, causes and ways of creative thought’s expression, and afterwards grouping the obtained data. This is what we can observe in the work of Cook and Glickman. After examining each of the options, one can give examples for each of them right away. However, the American culture in all its manifestations is versatile. And every issue within it is equally important. Though, it is sometimes difficult to navigate in the flow of information and ideas, and one has to “go on the reverse”. ...

When a video of SAE student chanting a racist fraternity song surfaced the internet, it was met by a different reaction from all the world (CNN). The unpopular video was put up on YouTube by an anonymous person whose motive was not known. Maybe it was for fun, or it was uploaded to make people aware that racism still exists and is here with us to stay. The student in the infamous video was thrown out of school in the middle of the night by an infuriated University of Oklahoma President David Boren. This course of action was also ...

For the news reporters, it’s important to note the two sides of President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural concert. The event took place in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the eve of the inauguration ceremony held on 20th January 2017. The event can be noted for its difference from the Obama celebration for those who came to compare the two. However, one notable thing at the event was the absence of famous celebrities. Given that this was an event meant for marking the start of the reign of the 45th president, one would expect “big name” celebrities to ...

Alfred Prufrock, the speaker of Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” and Nick, the protagonist of Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River,” have certain traits in common but there are also difference between them. Both characters have are avoiding certain things; Prufrock avoids propositioning the woman he loves, and Nick avoids confronting memories from the war which still haunt him. Similarly, both characters suffer with anxiety. Prufrock is too anxious to speak frankly to the woman, and Nick suffers from PTSD and this affects him in everyday life. The two characters differ, however, in that Prufrock chooses ...

Inspired by real-life events of the Lima Crisis, the novel Bel Canto creates an eloquent – and probably rather unexpected – image of the terrorist-hostage situation: Ann Pratchett drives the plot away from political and economic intricacies and moves it into the realm of real human relationships and life experiences. Pratchett places people of different occupations, languages, dispositions and tempers into one presidential mansion where – captured by the terrorists for four months – they find new ways of looking at the world and can finally take a fresher look at their lives, passions and desires. It is pure humanity in the multiplicity ...

Congenital anomaly, to be specific, is a kidney disease which entails absence, hypoplasia or the presence of fluid or semisolid-filled sacs, known as cysts. Cysts can lead to urinary obstructive symptoms through local pressure. Severe penis anomalies are rare and are normally related to urinary or various other systematic defects. Even though there are no specific cases reported in the State of Florida, various reports have been filed in United States, Canada, among Asian Americans and Native Americans, in Russia ...

The head of the song does not have an improvised part and indicates that the beginning and the ending has the same melody structure. Moreover, it repeats the same combination of rhythm in order to have the well-structured melody. The first and the last tune of the song gives the feeling that the song is properly framed. The introduction of the song is typical for the jazz song. There is an instrumental introduction without words. This beginning lasts approximately 10 seconds, though; it is enough to cover the listeners with the intrigue and special jazz style. The singing in ...

How the Popular Music Audience has changed with Time

The music industry has attracted a large number of listeners over the decades. However, the audience has evolved considerably over the years due to developments in music production and distribution technologies over time. Some of the factors that have facilitated change in music audience include music style, performance style, musical instruments, as well as rhythm and pitch that have changed with technological revolution (Mauch, MacCallum, Levy, & Leroi, 2015). As the technologies in the music instrumentation and production transformed over time, the melody and rhythm of music artifacts changed as well; making it more appealing to a particular group of ...

In my previous paper, I reviewed Systems Theory of management in regards to the early management practices in Ancient Egypt. Within the current research I will discuss the US Industrial Revolution and its connection to the systematic management. To begin with, the US Industrial revolution started at the end of the 18th century and lasted for almost 100 years. Some may call it as a continuation of the British Industrial Revolution, as most changes in the US manufacturing started after new machinery and technologies were brought from the UK. Cotton production was a pioneer industry to change from handcrafted ...

The chief operating officer (COF) plays a key role in the development and implementation of various organizational processes in a healthcare organization. The COF has a complex and challenging role while opening a new ambulatory care centre in the city for his/her organization. The COF would have an option to opt for professional autonomy, social contract, or free market perspective to design the entire workflow process and structure for the new centre (Patterson, et al. 2015). The practice of social contract has its many benefits and disadvantages. It provides a widespread assessment of the society the needs of the ...

Raman spectroscopy is dependent on scattering of light. When light interacts with matter, energy exchange can take place through absorption, simulated emission, Raman scattering or spontaneous emission. In Raman scattering, the emitted photons have less energy and lower frequency in comparison with the absorbed photons. Some energy of the emitted photons is transferred to the molecules. Raman spectroscopy is a method which collects the chemical fingerprints associated with molecules. Every molecule has different levels of vibrational energy and the emitted photons experience shift in their wavelengths. The wavelength shifts are collected,examined and analyzed for sample identification. Raman spectroscopy ...

Policy Brief, Design and Evaluation of A Public Policy: Child Welfare in the Changing Family Unit

Introduction Children need a conducive environment where they can grow in peace and develop in all other areas that relate to their welfare. The conventional family unit consisted of a nuclear set up comprising of a man, woman and the children they sired together. Such formed the foundation through which children could draw strength and some kind of inspiration due to the availability of both gender parents (Conger and Donnellan, 2007, p175). According to Hobson and Fahlén, (2009) it was also an opportunity where the man and woman would bring up their children together and give them love ...

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a sensitive topic in the society. This is because although it is one of the most common situations, it is also one of the least discussed or reported to authorities (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). This phenomenon is based on the negative perceptions of those who undergo IPV under the judgmental eye of society, associating this unfortunate situation to their physical or moral standing (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). Even though IPV rates have drastically reduced in the present society, these demeaning perceptions have still maintained their presence among those affected by IPV, for both genders. Nurses are ...

Healthcare has been experiencing tremendous transformations in the recent past, and this can be attributed to the changing health needs of the people. To adapt to these changes, the models of care delivery, care services, and even the personnel, have changed as well. Also, there is an increasing need to provide patient-centered and culturally sensitive care, as cultural diversity continues to pose a challenge to the delivery of holistic care. One approach of delivering care services is by focusing on a family, identifying the specific health needs of such families, and developing plans of treatment that are focused on ...

Different people from various backgrounds hold diverse beliefs on the origin of the world. Lewis, for instance, had the belief that the root of the world was from the darkness and beautiful distant sounds like those that emanate from far away singers. The Ohlone individuals in San Francisco believe that the head being was Coyote who created the world. The people influenced by Genesis hold that the world came being from the fall of refinement. Bestowing to the Pomo on the other side, a tribe in Northern California, the sphere was molded when a god set rolling the wax ...

Factors that led to the creation of teen idols in the 1960s included the following. There was less travel and people became conditioned to their immediate surroundings.

Therefore, it gave millions of people the aspiration to become musicians. All they had to do was inspire an audience and they would receive royalties. It was great strategy for the music publishers as it allowed them to ...

Local nursing boards are quite crucial when it comes to handling changes across the community. Instead of ignoring the changes that arise when these boards take charge of the nursing provision, it is important to understand their role in legal and ethical issues, an aspect that can be explored through an examination of the New York Nursing Board. It provides different services to its members, an aspect that creates an important understanding of the changes that arise in such cases (NSBCN, 2016). Examples include webinars, videos, brochures, newsletters, online courses, toolkits, and publications. The services offered are based on ...
