Antoni Gaudí nació en la ciudad de Reus en Cataluña el 25 de Junio de1852. Gaudí a los dieciséis años de edad se fue a la ciudad Barcelona, a estudiar en la Escuela Superior de Arquitectura de esta misma ciudad. Y fue ahí en Barcelona donde el decidió quedarse y dejar su huella. Al mismo tiempo en que Gaudí llego a Barcelona, la ciudad estaba creciendo, y muy rápido, ya que a finales del siglo 19 Barcelona se estaba transformando gracias a los cambios hechos por la revolución industrial, y convirtiéndose en una ciudad modernista. Fue así que la ciudad que se estaba transformando en una ciudad moderna seria la inspiración de Gaudí para crear maravillosas obras y exponerlas en ella misma. En Barcelona se pueden encontrar obras espectaculares que Antoni Gaudí diseño como el Templo de la Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera y La Casa Milà.
A primera vista el templo de La Sagrada Familia una escultura grandísima que hace suspirar a cualquier turista. Desde lejos se pueden apreciar las torres grandísimas que son fáciles de señalar. La Sagrada Familia o su nombre completo Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, es como un símbolo universal de Barcelona. La idea de esta estructura fue de un escritor por nombre Josep María Bocabella, quien era un hombre muy devoto a la religión católica. La idea del templo de la Sagrada Familia fue gracias a que el escritor al pasar por un municipio italiano vio el templo que tenían ahí, y fue ahí que decidió crear una réplica de esta misma.

Family is one of those words that have a significant meaning to various individuals. Family may be viewed one way to an individual and another way to someone else. Family consists of those who have played a particular role in one’s life, whether it is positive or negative.

Antoni Gaudi considered himself to be directly connected to Gothic styles through his art and architecture, deemed Neo-Gothic. A Spanish Architect known mostly for his dabbling in Art Nouveau. Gaudi is the best known example of these types of structures. Bordering on the fantastical and fluctuating between real and imaginary, his works make you think twice and leave you awestruck, much like the impressions of the original Gothic structures. La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of the best known buildings in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2005, it's construction began more than 120 years ago. Starting in 1882 with a man named Joseph Bocabella, the basilica as we know it today would not have been possible without the changes of Antoni Gaudi starting in 1883. Prior to his involvement, Bocabella, a
Just as the Olympics were held in Brazil, we heard on the news the constant increase of violence in children, and the even higher increment in the organized crime events in this country. But few of us understand the cold, horrific, and the traumatic experience of living surrounded by violent children in organized crime gangs, as well as the characters of City of God. The director of the movie Fernando Meirelles purposely shows us the way in which young children in Brazil learn to become violent at a young age, eventually still young get involved in organized crime gangs and their drug business, as well as in the gangs’ battles over territory and power. The director succeeded in presenting his point of view by using a different variety of movie

Undoubtedly, music is one of the most powerful forms of expression human beings have at their disposal. While composers and musicians often use music to communicate emotions, thoughts and feelings, music can also reflect the traditions, history and beliefs of a culture. Historically, some composers have used music to protest the actions of their country, but many nationalist composers have used music to reflect pride in their country. Music and folk songs are a large part of every culture’s identity. During the twentieth century, Heitor Villa-Lobos impacted the cultural identity of Brazil through the creation of compositions that reflect his upbringing and cultural heritage. Not only were his works considered historic moments in the establishment of a truly Latin American identity, his compositions also blazed a new path for a new generation of innovative Latin American artists. The music of Heitor Villa-Lobos reflects the history of his culture and his identity as an individual. Villa-Lobos respected his heritage and culture while continuing innovate and inspire his peers. The works of Heitor Villa-Lobos are an integral part of Latin American culture, yet he is often overlooked in the repertoire of Western classical music. This composer used his heritage, background and individuality to create classical music that reflects his experiences and the society in which he lived. Villa-Lobos captured the spirit of the nineteenth century nationalist movement and transcended the established rules and expectations of Western classical music in order to create music that was a true expression of his identity and culture.
Throughout history, gypsy culture has developed a mysticism about it that has been pondered by many artists—both in the musical sense and through other creative expressions. George Bizet, a famed French Romantic Era composer, artfully presents the tragic story of Carmen, based on Prosper Mérimée’s famed novella, using unique and captivating expressions in his music to explore the gypsy realm. In the opera, Carmen, the heroine, is a young gypsy woman from Seville, Spain who has a wild and inconsistent love life and becomes involved with a soldier named Don José. Don José, captivated by Carmen’s seductive prowess, soon becomes dependent on Carmen’s love for him, and when she moves on, it drives him into a passionate anger, which ultimately leads to his murder of her. In this particular aria, “En vain pour éviter”, Carmen discovers that both her fate and Don José’s are sealed with death, and as she tries to avoid it, she realizes it is inevitable. George Bizet mimics Carmen’s attempted elusion of fate through the use of secondary chords, relative keys, and extensions of the dominant function, as to avoid tonic, which represents her death. In addition, Bizet manages to establish a sense of ambiguity to Carmen’s view of her fate through unusual progressions and breaking of sequences. (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice, Italy in 1678 and he died in Vienna, Austria in 1741. He was trained in music when he was a child, but was later ordained as a priest.

It was a shift from the renaissance music period before which was quite simple music. Vivaldi was a priest in the Roman Catholic Church. He was a great violinist as well as a composer. He wrote quite short, memorable pieces for the time. Physically he had a chest condition that made it hard for him to breath, possibly asthma. He composed many operas, for which he may have been famous during his lifetime, but only twenty-two of these survive. His music is quite complicated with a lot of notes and often quite fast paced. Most of his music was composed for talented musical students at the orphanage where he worked. One of his most famous works is The Four Seasons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxofEmo3HA ), played with a smaller string orchestra.
