    Henry Purcell offered us sadness with minor keys and happiness with major keys. I really do not have much experience nor really understand keys but, I think Purcell’s uses of the minor and major keys makes since because minor means low and unimportant and that is how you feel when ever you are sad. While, major stands for important and significant and when the feeling of happiness domains your spirit, you feel on top of the world. I think it was very effective his technique of key usage to make the audience feel sad or happy. If you hear a low key you feel depress, low energy, and sad and when you hear a major key blasting thru the auditorium I am sure it inspires you, put you in a happy mood.…

    PHI370 first exegesis book two

    Virtue is finding that middle ground between two extremes. Each virtue has two opposites, for example: modesty is the mean between shyness and shamelessness, shyness being the excess and shamelessness being the deficiency. To me this sounds like Aristotle is mainly concerned with the mean as its aim. However, the mean of one person may be a different mean for another since every individual is different. He gives a good example of this in (1106b) where he speaks about deciding on portions of food, the specific needs of each person needs to be taken into account. An athlete would need to eat more food than your everyday man. When it comes to deciding what is virtuous one needs to find a mean that is specific to one self. The mean should lie between the two extremes of vice: excess and deficiency. What Aristotle means by excess is going beyond what is appropriate in terms of feelings and in actions. On the other hand deficiency falls short of what is appropriate. The mean that we search for is a cross between the two vices and is found in a trial and error like process through the experiences of one’s own life. Aristotle also refers to virtue as an active condition. What I believe…

    Aristotle's Theory Of Virtue Ethic

    Virtue, according to Aristotle, is equivalent to excellence (Hutchinson, 41). A man has virtue as a guitarist, for instance, if he plays the guitar well, since playing the guitar is the distinctive activity of a guitarist. Similarly, the virtuous person is someone who performs the distinctive activity of being human well. Rationality is our distinctive activity – that is, the activity…

    “Lost your Head Blues” was written and performed by Bessie smith, known as the “Empress of the Blues.” She lived from 1894-1937. The songs Smith sang along with her performances allowed her the opportunity to become popular in the 1920’s. While the songs she sang were revolved around her life, and not that of the community, many folks said that the stories were relatable to them. “Lost Your Head Blues” in particular was a sad love song that became a popular hit in the 1920’s, specifically 1926. Due to how the man was treating her with such disrespect, Smith sings about leaving the man she loves. Her music was considered to be classical blues based on the African American blues genre. Long before Smith’s time, this type of music with its sad and negative tone was already being played. For instance, “Flow My Tears” was written around the 1600’s which was during the Renaissance period. This was considered popular during Shakespeare’s time. It was produced by John Downland, who was a well-known English composer in Europe. He lived from 1563-1626. It was derived from a poem perhaps previously written by Downland. Downland is well-known for his pieces which represent sadness. In that, it portrays one’s happiness coming to an end—similarly to that of “Lost Your Head Blues.”…

    Music Appreciation

    A few weeks ago I attended a recital/concert in the UMHB auditorium performed by the Waco orchestra (I think that’s who it was). At first when I got there, I wasn’t paying attention because I was bored and knew I was only there to get my fine arts experience credit. After about two songs, I remembered that I was in Music Appreciation and some of the songs they were playing, I heard in class before. I began to tune into to certain instruments and listen to their unique sound and what significant part they played in the song. I also began to realize that I was catching on to some of the patterns in the melody, for example ABBABBA. If I had never been in the music appreciation class I wouldn’t have done any of those things, but it’s just ironic that when you take a class like this, you find yourself paying attention to certain things in music that you never would have found yourself doing prior to the fact. One thing that really interested me was that in one song, a woman who was playing the trumpet had her own solo part. For one, I honestly didn’t expect her to be playing a trumpet, as bad as that sounds. Secondly, I didn’t expect her to be as good as she was. I was in shock at some of the notes she was hitting, and I admit that I was pretty impressed. I played the trombone in middle school so of course I had to watch the trombone players while reminiscing that I used to be the one up there doing that, I was pretty good. After not playing for so long, I forgot the notes and the certain places you slide the horn to make a certain note. Sometimes I wish that I could still play because I believe that being able to play an instrument is a beautiful talent. I would definitely go to another musical now because it’s fun when you’re there to listen and admire, instead of just being there because you have to. When you’re actually involved with the concert, it makes being there a lot more fun and makes you appreciate the work and practice that was done to…

    Christmas 2010. I sit in my room, listening to Taylor Swift’s Speak Now album as I wait for our guests to arrive for my family’s holiday get together. I hear my brother call for me from down the hall. I oblige and head to the living room to find that my grandparents had arrived, and they were each carrying something. One carried in a TV for my brother and the other carried in my present, an acoustic guitar. My dad had tricked us into believing we weren’t getting anything this year and had hidden our gifts at our grandparents’ house.…
