The Vatican and music The structure that I chose was the Vatican. I elected to use the Vatican because I am Italian in heritage and one of my dreams is to travel Italy and see Venice, and land marks such as the leaning tower of Pisa, the Colosseum and the Vatican. When I go the Vatican, there would be certain things that I would like to do like go see all the art work from Michelangelo and of course attend a service from the pope. I’ve been a Catholic all my life and this is one thing that I always wanted to do and I believe that I would be a great experience. The music that I chose to go with the Vatican is a Gregorian chant called “Beata es Maria” by Jacob Obrecht. Pope Julius the second commissioned the rebuilding of the Vatican
The Hinário Para o Culto Cristão (HCC) is one of the most well-known collection of sacred hymns adopted by several traditional Baptists churches in Brazil currently. One could affirm that church music is always in a process of development as observed in the history of the church. According to the history of church music, religious music always had the power to influence a local community, and among the Baptists in Brazil, it was not different.

The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the HCC worked as a tool

Since the Duomo is based off Roman architecture, many innovative ideas were used to create it, and because it was built to be enjoyed, not worshipped like the past pieces of religious art, the Duomo is, by far, the best creation to represent the

The first composition, "Miserere Mei, Deus", was produced by Gregorio Allegri in 1638. I learned this, as I read along with the well-thought-out program that was given. As we, the audience, looked up to the vocalists, we were entranced by the consuming sound. The room filled with a vibrant melody, in which the harmonization and tone color was spectacular. The emotion conveyed throughout the room was one of absorption and delight. During this piece, the sopranos hit such high notes, that I was astounded. Being a person who participates in concert choir, I understand the level of commitment and talent it takes to reach those notes and stay in tune. This ...
Have you ever felt insignificant while standing in front of a monumental building that you have seen in small images of your history book? No one could imagine the atmosphere and physical beauty inside the most beautiful structures in the world, the Pantheon and the Florence cathedral. While sitting at the fountain in front of the Pantheon, one can see the huge columns rising towards the entablature and the walls curving behind to form a cylinder.

The important feature that seemed impossible to have been built during the time that the Pantheon
Music is an important aspect of every society. Music can tell stories, release emotions, build bridges and break down barriers, but above all music is entertaining.

Greek and Roman architecture is truly amazing. They each had great ideas, and fabulous productions. It is said that the Pantheon is to Italy what the Parthenon is to Greece.

While researching our trip that we would make to Rome, I discovered a part of St. Peter Basilica that is rarely seen by most tourists. Because of research, determination, and good old American persuasion, this led us to obtaining tickets to the “Scavi” and an experience of our lifetime.
