CARSON CITY NV (March 25, 2016) - As a celebration of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, the local congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will host a free live broadcast of Handel’s Messiah performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square on Friday, March 25th at 6:00 p.m. PST. This special broadcast will be available at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ chapel at 411 N Saliman Drive, Carson City, Nevada.
“We are pleased to invite our friends and neighbors in Carson City and surrounding areas to enjoy this beautiful live broadcast of Handel’s Messiah”, said David Haws, senior church
leader of the Carson City Nevada Stake. George Frideric Handel’s musical masterpiece, Messiah, first performed in the spring of 1742, has become one of the world’s most beloved musical works. The original Messiah was performed for orphans and those in debtors’ prison. “We continue in this great tradition by sharing some of our blessings in the form of nonperishable food donations to benefit the F.I.S.H. food pantry”, said Haws. The free live broadcast of Handel’s Messiah will begin on March 25th at 6:00 p.m. PST with a 30-minute pre-concert presentation. This will feature selected content about Handel’s Messiah, including excerpts of interviews with conductor Mack Wilberg and noted musicologist Luke Howard. The two-hour and twenty minute concert will begin at about 6:30 p.m. PST. Those gathered for the performance are encouraged to sing along with the Choir. The Choir will also be joined by famed soloists Erin Morley, Sasha Cooke, Paul Appleby and Joseph Barron. Composed of 360 volunteer voices, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir serves as a musical ambassador for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Orchestra at Temple Square is a 150-member, all-volunteer symphony orchestra organized in 1999 to perform and accompany the musical ensembles of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir organization.

Mayor Nutter associates himself with the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, which he has attended for the past 25 years. Followed by saying that the church choir got a lot better once he left the choir 20 years ago. His intent in using this strategy effected the congregation by making them feel like they all are part of one big happy family. So much that, they welcomed and looked forward to hear the rest of his speech.
This year’s last word in speeches was first presented in 1790. In August of 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop musical Hamilton (as in founding father Alexander) opened on Broadway. One of the musical’s most memorable moments, “Cabinet Battle #1,” includes arguments from both Hamilton — then Secretary of the Treasury — and his frequent political rival, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, persuading Congress to vote for or against Hamilton’s proposal of a national bank. For its presentation to an assembly and consideration of the most advantageous course of action, “Cabinet Battle #1” is a pair of deliberative speeches. They’re also, by the way, a rap battle. Though the speeches’ content is rooted in centuries past and the delivery is timestamped with today, the rhetorical strategies defined by Aristotle are as present in Miranda’s lyrics as they would have been in Jefferson

Venturing inside, we all noticed two things very quickly: we were at once wearing entirely too much clothing to be comfortable in the sweltering heat, and entirely too little to fit in with the rest of the congregants assembled. And yet we were welcomed with open arms. We had arrived, the Reverend Rogers L. Pruitt emphasized as we filed into the sanctuary, on a very special day. As he distributed bulletins and hearty handshakes to the rest of the group, I noticed that the front of mine read "Fragment Day." As I looked around the modest sanctuary, I wondered what the service had in store for us.
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (Actus Tragicus), BMV 106 focuses heavily on the concept of death, considering it is a funeral cantata. The various movements of the cantata demonstrate the overall theme of death: God’s will being the right time, the inevitability of death, and the long-awaited meeting with Jesus after death. These different aspects of the concept of death are either representing death under the Law (the Old Testament) or under the Gospel (the New Testament). The ‘Sonatina’ that begins the piece displays the overall concept of death, while the second movement focuses on the concept of death under the Law.

On November 16th, 2013, I attended a concert choir, fall choral concert. This event took place on the Wheaton College Campus, in the Edman Chapel at 7:30 pm. The chapel was well-lit, with long pews for the audience to be seated. The concert began with the audience looking up into a balcony, where the ensemble stood in neat rows. They watched the conductor, who stood on a stage in front of the audience, waiting for their cue.
As human beings we are bound to be flawed & bound to act upon one’s natural instincts without foreseeing the effects those actions carried by us will bring. In William Shakespeare “The Tragedy of Hamlet” we are brought upon the true affect a death has brought towards a prince, not being just any death but of its father who has returned as a spirit to let hamlet acknowledge that he was murdered by his Uncle Claudius. Rage has filled this young soul and the desire to revenge his father takes him to what most of his family believes is insanity. He is tormented by a decision he’s yet to accomplish of making his father’s murderer who’s now married to his mother pay or to let him live and betray his word of vengeance he promised his father. According to Samuel Taylor Coleridge Hamlet is both “amiable and excellent in nature” but with one quality of waiting to long and not taking true actions, what Coleridge fails to acknowledge is that Hamlet is not made to be a perfected character he is flawed with sensitivity, a vulgar approach and a
“To be or not to be, that is the question.” It is a well-known quote from Hamlet who was created by Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is known as a great poet, playwright, and actor. He had written about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and many other writings (Bevington, 1). He was not only a playwright, but also he was the father of 1,380 characters (Bevington, 2), including Hamlet, Romeo, Juliet, Claudio, Prospero and Henry V. Shakespeare successfully created different characters and each of them had their unique personalities. Most of the well-known characters were not only alive in the plays, but also their characteristics could be found in the reality.
German-English composer, George Frederick Handel, is one of the greatest composers of the Baroque period if not of all time. His work, Messiah, is one of the most famous and beloved works of music in the world. During his career in music, Handel composed Italian cantatas, oratorios (like Messiah), Latin Church Music, and several operas. Handel moved around from country to country writing, composing, and producing music for royalty such as Queen Anne and George of Hanover. In his life, Handel mastered several instruments including the violin and the harpsichord.
In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Hamlet the king of Denmark is murdered by his brother, Claudius, and as a ghost tells his son, Hamlet the prince of Denmark, to avenge him by killing his brother. The price Hamlet does agree to his late father’s wishes, and undertakes the responsibility of killing his uncle, Claudius. However even after swearing to his late father, and former king that he would avenge him; Hamlet for the bulk of the play takes almost no action against Claudius. Prince Hamlet in nature is a man of thought throughout the entirety of the play; even while playing mad that is obvious, and although this does seem to keep him alive, it is that same trait that also keeps him from fulfilling his father’s wish for vengeance
The movie of Hamlet was an excellent, as far as book-movies go. I believe it was produced with focus, reason, and logic. The characters were also portrayed with a good interpretation. There were several changes to the play compared to the book, although the movie was done in such a way that they were not particularly missed, from the movie's point of view.
This epigraph begins the book "Bridge Across Forever" by the famous American writer, philosopher and essayist Richard Bach. And he is perfectly suited to his novel-parable "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", reflecting the idea of a book about the perfection of a rational being, not limited by time and space.
In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, we observe Hamlet as an incredibly complex and bewildering character that upon first glance, seems to undergo a plethora of predicaments. Upon identification of such obstacles, we begin to wonder about whether his entirely fictitious existence in the play classifies him as sane while the world around him is in a way, insane or vise-versa. In addition, one of the main problems that superficially seems to be at the root of his conflicts is his melancholy. This is a condition that has always identified with him throughout the entire play, even still presenting itself up until the very end of Act V. In conclusion, the cause of his affliction is generally simplistic but drawn-out, serving to impact his actions significantly.
