The Bitter Sweet Symphony of Life Time capsules are a trendy way of preserving the past for a period of time, in hopes of capturing physical proof of the advances in our society. Therefore, I am not surprised that many educational institutions have embraced the concept of a time capsule. However, this creates a problem: How can singular items be chosen to represent multitudes of ideas, creations, and people? The only logical conclusion to this dilemma is to allow those being represented
Bitter Sweet Symphony by Erin Flannery True, it was a hard decision when I was decided which of my classmatesí papers to choose as ìthe one.î I considered a question when trying to decide.

Wednesday, June 14, 2017, I had the pleasure of watching the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Opus 125 by Ludwig Van Beethoven. The original performance was recorded and put on YouTube, May 7, 2015, in honor of its first premier 191 years before when Beethoven decided to share his 9th Symphony with the world even though he couldn’t hear it himself. The symphonic masterpiece was recorded at the beautiful Symphony Center Orchestra Hall in Chicago and conducted by Riccardo Muti
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, like all symphonies at that time, was in four movements. The First Movement was in sonata form; which was considered to be quite powerful, as it opened up with the Fate motif. This usually ran throughout the First Movement, in one way or another. Beethoven's music often strikes with a dramatic explosion with wonderful shades of orchestral color; from the dark trombones to the sweet woodwinds, this piece definitely made an impact worth remembering, that also lasted throughout
The sound of a sweet symphony and the vibrations of the string--these are the moments that manifest some of the most powerful emotions. Ludvig Van Beethoven is one of the most popular composers of such musical works. However, his early years were not pleasant, and the end of his life was hard for him. By looking at his life, we see that he worked tirelessly to make his famous, alluring pieces. Beethoven was born on approximately December 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. His family was musical
and Beethoven based on Symphony No. 41 in C Major by Mozart and Symphony no. 5 in C Minor by Beethoven, discuss the specific aspect of their works and a personal impact of this music. Symphony No. 41 in C Major by Mozart gives the impression of slow music even in areas of rapid rhythm. Orchestra cuts in memory. First, it supports the play of the violins but then it quickly goes up creating harmony. Melody attracts with its lightness, a feeling of joy and excitement. The symphony of Mozart is easy to

Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 “The Surprise” London Symphonies: The Concert Life and Stylistic Ideas of Josef Haydn Imagine yourself at a symphony concert and being moved by the first movement of the piece. Now picture yourself getting lulled by the sweet, slow movement of the second movement, when all the sudden you are startled by a sudden burst of sound coming from the orchestra. What I just described is Josef Haydn’s Symphony No. 94, also known as “The Surprise” Symphony. The 94th symphony is one of
Mozart and Beethoven The Symphony number 5 in C Minor by Beethoven is a classical piece that I played in High School, there is a lot of integral moving parts played during this selection. The movement and synchronization between each section, to include notes, tones, pitches, bars, and bridges are exquisite.

History behind the appropriation of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” “Swing Low, Sweet chariot,” is an American Negro Spiritual originally sung by black slaves during their time working of the fields. Although performers in the 20th century acknowledged the historic significance of this piece, it has also been used as an instrument of cultural appropriation by white Americans and Europeans. The meaning of this song radiates in the words and exposes its purpose to those who study the music of slaves and
Beethoven, from life to death, was a great musician. As a composer or as a pianist, he is known as great. Many of his pieces are still known to people today. He wrote music from when he was a young boy to shortly before he died, despite going deaf. He is also widely known as the greatest composer of all time. Even in his last years of deafness and death, he wrote some of his most famous pieces of music. He was the first musician that had a salary to compose when and how he felt. (Ludwig van Beethoven
The primary source that I want to assign to my students is a letter from Mozart to his cousin Maria Anna Thekla Mozart on November 5, 1777. This letter was one of the evidences that shows Mozart's love towards his cousin, and his “humor” towards some of the dirty jokes. It will give us a better understanding in his music. For an example, in the letter he wrote “...I now wish you a good night, shit in your bed with all your might, sleep with peace on your mind, and try to kiss your own behind...”

The Charles Ives’ Symphony No. 3 “The Camp Meeting” included instruments such as mainly the violin, flute, strings
so is the style of music. Often people who do not have any musical background might think that classical music is boring and only for more mature audiences. In fact, the sales of traditional Western classical music albums are decreasing and many symphony orchestras and operas are struggling to find endowments and audiences. It is considered that classical music today occupies a position similar to that of religion, as a form of art rather than entertainment or just a background noise (Johnson, 2002)
Bach, Beethoven, and Bugs Bunny? I can remember being a young boy, spending several hours throughout the days watching cartoons. I can definitely relate to classical music being played in these cartoons, like the mentioned classic, Bugs Bunny. “Bugs Bunny was quite the concert musician”(“Classical Masterpieces Turn Up”). I vaguely remember Bugs Bunny attempting to play classical music tunes, but I did not know they were classicals at a young age. The music I was hearing contributed to everything
