In Canada, Greta Kraus is the uncontested doyenne of the early-music revival in general, and harpsichord playing in particular, but her accomplishments go far beyond the baroque repertoire. She has coached Canadian singers not only in baroque oratorios but in romantic German opera and lieder, and twentieth-century works. The composer R. Murray Schafer studied with her, and so did the keyboard artists Douglas Bodle, Elizabeth Keenan, Patrick Wedd, and Valerie Weeks and the singers Elizabeth Benson
in composers, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. The two composers had a great impact on musical history between the Romantic era and the Twentieth Century. These two composers have so many similarities as well as differences. They were both successful students of Arnold Schoenberg. According to our textbook Music and Appreciation, written by Roger Kamien states that Berg was born in Vienna in 1885. His family was musical and they encouraged him to compose without professional help. Berg did not get too
While it was likely commissioned for and or by St. Albans, the author presents simple facts about religious marital law and hermitage, as well as how one takes vows of celibacy. There is no critique of Christina’s teenage vow only being shared with Sueno. Throughout the manuscript, whenever Christina’s parents

and forgery to fundraise for its goals and schemes. The Order plotted many assassinations of important Jewish public figures. Several members of The Order, however, were eventually convicted of the murder of a Denver Jewish radio talk show host Alan Berg, who becomes the focus of the play. The full spectrum of racial hate in this play is placed in the audience by moving from intense interactions between Order members and their families, to Order ceremonies and actual transcripts of courtroom interrogation
time, COG has reestablished itself as a reliable community but with the secrecy of family communes, the teachings of founder the late David “Moses” Berg still being taught, and accounts of life within the community by researchers and ex-members, many people on the outside are uncertain as to the legality and morality of COG. In 1968 David Brandt Berg, later known as Father David, Mo and Moses David, along with his wife and teenage children, began to evangelize to the youth of the Huntington Beach
St. Albans Psalter Psalm 68 is not long, but it does have lots of detailed material to study the author’s choice of language, and the power of the images that are being conveyed to the readers through an emotional and sentimental way. The simplicity of this psalm’s gives it power, since it expresses an emotional despair in a careful shaped prayer, which comes from a human being in what seems to be a life-threatening situation. In the image and the content, the psalmist’s travels an arc of desperation
In the 1970s, Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg began developing a new therapeutic approach called Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). (Trepper, et al., 2006) Over the next thirty years, Shazer and Berg continued to refine the approach. (Trepper, et al., 2006) There are both benefits and limitations of SFBT. Until more recently, there has not been a large amount of research showing valid results of utilizing this approach. However, since 2005, SFBT has been growing in popularity in the United

Repertoire Report One of my all time favorite music piece is, Drops Of Jupiter, by the band Train. And I am going to compare it to one of the music pieces that we studied in class, Wozzeck, Act 3, Scene 4, composed by Alban Berg. I chose to compare these two pieces, because they are both very different, but after researching both of these pieces, and reading over the notes that I took in class, I realized that these two pieces also have a few similarities. And I though it would be very interesting
of his opera Wozzeck, Alban Berg employs his take on a theme and variations. When one hears that a piece of music is classified as an “invention on a theme,” they immediately associate the style with early composers from the Baroque era, a time when classical conventions truly started to take their form. By employing methods of long term tonicization, bending the classical expectations of form and harmony, and accentuating Marie’s sense of wandering conscious and morality, Berg is able to give the
I was given a real treat of hearing what an English horn sounded like for the first time. It looks like an oboe and sounds like one, but a little lower sounding. She played the song “The Shepherd”, composed by Alban Berg (1885-1935). According to Chelsea, Alban Berg was a born Austrian musician, who was known for his minor, sad, sentimental style of music. This particular piece of music starts out slow, soft, and played in a minor key throughout the whole song. Also, “The Shepherd” has
1. The new classical vocal form was created at the end of the 19th century that included the orchestra is etude (french word for study). Etude was written in the early 20th century and oversaw numerous collections of etudes. Major composers such as Claude Debussy and Franz Liszt achieve this form in the concert repertoires that features didactic pieces from earlies times like vocal solfeggi and keyboard. 2. The aspect of Claude Debussy's music were different from the music that preceded it were melodic
com/discover/periods/modern/second-viennese-school-where-start/) After experiencing tonal music in early 20th century, Vienna city became the centre of the revolution of classical tonality, which was led by three principal members: Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. The musical thinking of The Second Viennese School began with late romantic expanded tonality then Schonberg’s own expression of tones that is known as atonality and later with 12-tone technique. This musical idea was developed
Sahst du nach dem Gewitterregen Alban Berg’s Sahst du nach dem Gewitterregen (“Did you see, after the summer rain”), is the second piece from Funf-Orchester der Lieder (Five orchestral songs). Five Orchestral Songs Op.4 also known as Altenberg Lieder, was written for medium voice and orchestra. It strays away from traditional lieder, which caused a riot at its first performance because of it being so contrastive. It is Bergs first orchestral work. Berg studied under Arnold Schoenberg, who is
even possible to define “Modernist opera,” and few have attempted such a feat. I confess some confusion as to why the issue raises such difficulties. An examination of just three of the operas written in the time period, Richard Strauss’s Salome, Alban Berg’s Wozzeck, and Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera, shows us that a categorization of Modernism is not inappropriate to the genre. Like the visual and literary arts of the time, these operas are attempting to redefine their genre and to bring public
What is music? Most would agree that breaking glass is not music, just as most would agree that smashing a cello with a hammer is less musical than vibrating a bow across its strings. Many say that music is a series of sounds which contain the elements of rhythm and pitch, but most music we hear follows certain patterns beyond rhythm and pitch. Music as we know it contains key signatures and time signatures, chord progressions and other repetitive harmonies. This strict language that we have built

Cyclical structures were used by different composers in the 19th century such as Wagner (programmatic dramatism) and Dvorak and Brahms (make whole and create logical structures). Once again in the 20 the century, Debussy, Bartok and Stravinsky were drawn to cyclical structures to create a systematic formal coherence on a larger scale. This can especially be seen in the neoclassical masterpieces of Stravinsky (Oedipus Rex, 1927) and Bartok (4th string quartet, 1928). In these two works a typical modern
a D7 chord in m. 14, however, another chromatically descending thirds follows the D7 until the music arrives at a G64 chord in m. 19, and finally at a G chord in m. 22 (fig. 24). This phenomenon is similar to Arnold Schoenberg’s roving harmony or Alban Berg’s creeping harmony, and indeed, Shostakovich adored
