The Kyrie has been a foundational part of the church mass for hundreds of years. Many people have experienced it, lamented with it, and deliberated over its meaning. Even more so, many have used this section of mass in medleys of songs, both traditional and classical to modern and contemporary. If one takes a closer look at the music itself, they would find that this particular section of mass has adapted and changed with the times over a short few hundred years. Because the term “Kyrie” literally means “Lord, have mercy”, those in the church who use the liturgy use it for a brief petition and response. It has been adapted to words and music in various languages and has been a cornerstone to the Roman Catholic Church. The similarities and differences …show more content…
One is homophonic while the other is isorhythmic, as displayed in the Kyrie. The melody in the tenor is actually taken from the plainchant Kyrie Cunctipotens Genitor. The chant has four segments of melody – Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, a new setting of Kyrie eleison, and a longer variant of the latter – and all four are set by Machaut. There are common features of the Kyrie that are part of Machaut’s footprint. This includes syncopations on the quarter note and eighth note as well as the use of the hocket **NAWM**. There is something particular about the use of the hocket in this mass though. Music historians have suggested that, starting with the “rediscovery” of his work in the 18th century, the hocket that Machaut uses, nicknamed “David’s hocket”, was for specific purpose. In fact, the whole mass is believed to be for a specific purpose, since most of Machaut’s work was secular song-based. It might be associated with the weekly Saturday service for the Virgin that has been celebrated at the Reims cathedral since 1341. Other sources seem to support this. Machaut was a canon at this cathedral for over half of his life, so it begs the question why this Christian composer had success at creating secular works alongside a church mass that captured audiences and other composers for centuries**TAN MACHAUT
“Standard English was imposed on children of immigrant parents, then the children were separated from native English speakers, then the children were labeled “inferior” and “ignorant” (Hughes 70) because they could not speak Standard English. In addition to feeling inferior about their second language skills, these students also felt inadequate in regard to speaking their own mother tongues” (qtd in Kanae)
Minor keys have a sadder sound than a plain major scale. Minor mode offers nine notes while the major modes are seven. Minor scales and major scales to Gregorian chant are nonexistent. However Gregorian chant is written on a four line staff instead of five lines. The language of the Gregorian chant was Latin. Latin was founded pretty early around fifth century B.C.E and originated in Italy. Latin was survived long after the fall of the Roman Empire. After the Roman Empire the Catholic Church inherited Latin. That then masses kept the language alive. Latin is still heard today and it reminds us that Gregorian chants will always be a great example of Latin. At this time there was no state government but yet the Catholic Church became the most influenced and high leader. Ordinary people across Europe would give ten percent of their earnings to the Church and the church was often exempt from taxation. With a great deal of money and power the church was unstoppable. Gregorian chant is mainly sung in three parts. First, the word for a primary source of interception. Secondly, the melody is conditioned by text and by mutual laws, and lastly the neume designed as the symbolic representation of the musical form is received by the text. These chants in the eleventh century chants were getting notice. Catholicchant.com. says “The Kyrie, Hallelujahs were just a few to
Dreams come and go every night, but some dreams tend to stay for a lifetime. I have always dreamt to become a professional athlete in some way or another. Growing up I have always looked up to many different athletes. Whether it was Ladanian Tomlinson on the football field or Kobe Bryant on the basketball court I have always had some athlete that I wanted to be like someday.
Through the close study of two of the aspects shown in the diagram, their contributions allow Christianity to be considered a living religious tradition. The significant contributions of Pope John XXIII, during both his papal and Pre-papal life have had everlasting effects on not only Catholicism, but Christianity as a whole and lead to the sense of Christianity being a living religious tradition. His works include two Papal encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, along with his work being Apostolic Delegate of Greece and Turkey. Moreover, The significant practice of Baptism has further contributed to Christian being considered a living religious tradition as it accounts for the premise of most Christian beliefs to be initiated, especially in terms of salvation and affirming the beliefs in the trinity and following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Jackie Robinson, Feng Ru, and Melba Pattillo Beals all faced many turning points, in this case, they changed their country.

Defiance and The Pianist both are different ways of viewing the Holocaust. Instead of the focus being on how the Jews were discriminated upon, both movies show how some Jews did not allow themselves to be victimized by the Germans. Very few account recount the Jewish resistance that occurred, most chose to focus on their destruction and death. The fact that both are based on the true stories of survivors adds a sense of validity to the movies. Each personal testimony allows the viewer to see the varying ways Jews reacted to the German encroachment upon their lives. Both movies are prime examples of the Jewish resistance movement, as well as how historical accounts are portrayed on screen and how close they stay to the truth.
The Mass has to be important to the Priest because it is the main purpose of his ministry. In the Mass the Priest has to become like Jesus Christ Himself in order for him to give and pass the graces from the Mass to the people. Jesus and His apostles were gathered together, because Jesus knew it was His last meal with them before He died. During the meal He said, “This is My body, which is to be given up for you,” and then He said: “This is My blood of the new testament, which is to be shed for many to remission of sins.” Saying this He is saying what was going to happen the following day. Jesus wanting us to remember this ultimate sacrifice He said “Do this for a commemoration of Me”. The Mass is the best gift in the Priest’s ministry; if the Priest does not put his whole mind, heart, and soul into the Mass; imagine how he is going to be outside in the

Church History in Plain Language is written by Bruce L. Shelley. This work focuses on the history of Christianity from 6 B.C. to the current period. It covers some of Christianity’s greatest events, theologians, and the various subsection of Christianity. Other than the events leading up to the death of Jesus, I had very little knowledge of Christianity’s history. After reading through the book, I have gained understanding on the Christian Councils, scholasticism, Christendom, and modern trends of Christianity.
Sports fanatics tend to have one dream and it is to meet their favorite player. My dream came true on November 08, 2000, when for the first time I meet Kobe Bryant. I was so ecstatic about it that I could not speak. That day he gave me the greatest gift: he autographed my basketball and shoes, which is to this day my greatest treasure.
As time passed and music continued to evolve what is known as the Renaissance period emerged from 1475-1600. Music during this period was still written with worship as its intentions. Where the Medieval period had no harmony the Renaissance period introduced the use of a constant chord to form the building block of the different pieces. A good example of this period of music is “Ave Maria” by Josquin written in 1485. The many different voices the repeat the same words create a process called imitation. This particular chant is capella, meaning that it is performed by voices alone and has no musical accompaniment and with all the voices entering at different times but in harmony counterpoint i...
When you think of basketball you think of a pretty simple sport. The game has its sets of formal rules and regulations that are governed by the AAA, NCAA and NBA. No matter what level you play, the game will be relatively the same. In a formal game or even just a pick up game in a gym, the game is the same. That’s not the case with pick up basketball at a city park though. Depending where you live, every court has its own guidelines. You wouldn’t think that a game of basketball could change so drastically but it can. Park pick up ball is rougher, less honest, gets done faster but has a much slower pace. Park ball isn’t even really about basketball; it’s about feeling apart of something, feeling young and feeding your ego.
The Mass is celebrated in order for us, his followers, to receive God’s grace within a place of worship. The Mass serves as a form of intimate unification between God and all of his worshippers and disciples that make up the Mystical Body of Christ. This is only possible
