  • An Approach to the Pedagogy of Beginning Music Composition: Teaching Understanding and Realization of the First Steps in Composing Music
    AN APPROACH TO THE PEDAGOGY OF BEGINNING MUSIC COMPOSITION: TEACHING UNDERSTANDING AND REALIZATION OF THE FIRST STEPS IN COMPOSING MUSIC DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Vera D. Stanojevic, Graduate Diploma, Tchaikovsky Conservatory ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved By Professor Donald Harris, Adviser __________________________ Professor Patricia Flowers Adviser Professor Edward Adelson School of Music Copyright by Vera D. Stanojevic 2004 ABSTRACT Conducting a first course in music composition in a classroom setting is one of the most difficult tasks a composer/teacher faces. Such a course is much more effective when the basic elements of compositional technique are shown, as much as possible, to be universally applicable, regardless of style. When students begin to see these topics in a broader perspective and understand the roots, dynamic behaviors, and the general nature of the different elements and functions in music, they begin to treat them as open models for individual interpretation, and become much more free in dealing with them expressively. This document is not designed as a textbook, but rather as a resource for the teacher of a beginning college undergraduate course in composition. The Introduction offers some perspectives on teaching composition in the contemporary musical setting influenced by fast access to information, popular culture, and globalization. In terms of breadth, the text reflects the author’s general methodology in leading students from basic exercises in which they learn to think compositionally, to the writing of a first composition for solo instrument.

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

  • Maurice Merleau-Ponty: Phenomenology of Perception
    Phenomenology of Perception ‘In this text, the body-organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things.’ Michel Foucault ‘We live in an age of tele-presence and virtual reality. The sciences of the mind are finally paying heed to the centrality of body and world. Everything around us drives home the intimacy of perception, action and thought. In this emerging nexus, the work of Merleau- Ponty has never been more timely, or had more to teach us ... The Phenomenology of Perception covers all the bases, from simple perception-action routines to the full Monty of conciousness, reason and the elusive self. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the embodied mind.’ Andy Clark, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University Maurice Merleau-Ponty Phenomenology of Perception Translated by Colin Smith London and New York Phénomènologie de la perception published 1945 by Gallimard, Paris English edition first published 1962 by Routledge & Kegan Paul First published in Routledge Classics 2002 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor and Francis e-Library, 2005. “To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk.” © 1945 Editions Gallimard Translation © 1958 Routledge & Kegan Paul All rights reserved.

  • Sophie's World
    Sophie’s World Jostien Gaarder Reviews: More praise for the international bestseller that has become “Europe’s oddball literary sensation of the decade” (New York Newsday) “A page-turner.” —Entertainment Weekly “First, think of a beginner’s guide to philosophy, written by a schoolteacher ... Next, imagine a fantasy novel— something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get? Well, what you get is an improbable international bestseller ... a runaway hit... [a] tour deforce.” —Time “Compelling.” —Los Angeles Times “Its depth of learning, its intelligence and its totally original conception give it enormous magnetic appeal ... To be fully human, and to feel our continuity with 3,000 years of philosophical inquiry, we need to put ourselves in Sophie’s world.” —Boston Sunday Globe “Involving and often humorous.” —USA Today “In the adroit hands of Jostein Gaarder, the whole sweep of three millennia of Western philosophy is rendered as lively as a gossip column ... Literary sorcery of the first rank.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A comprehensive history of Western philosophy as recounted to a 14-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl... The book will serve as a first-rate introduction to anyone who never took an introductory philosophy course, and as a pleasant refresher for those who have and have forgotten most of it... [Sophie’s mother] is a marvelous comic foil.” —Newsweek “Terrifically entertaining and imaginative ... I’ll read Sophie’s World again.” — Daily Mail “What is admirable in the novel is the utter unpretentious-ness of the philosophical lessons, the plain and workmanlike prose which manages to deliver Western philosophy in accounts that are crystal clear.

  • The Weeknd Kiss Land Full Album Download Google Drive First Listen: the Weeknd, 'Kiss Land' the Weeknd's New Album Kiss Land Will Be Released on Sept
    the weeknd kiss land full album download google drive First Listen: The Weeknd, 'Kiss Land' The Weeknd's new album Kiss Land will be released on Sept. 10. La Mar C. Taylor/Courtesy of the artist. After his first songs appeared on the Internet in late 2010, The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye slowly crept under the sheets between Drake's brokenhearted bravado and the confessional cynicism of Frank Ocean with a series of free mixtapes of increasingly dark, brooding pop. He was the hermit gone wild, a lonely boy from Toronto with Michael Jackson's fragile tenor and a hard drive full of Portishead B-sides who suddenly had his pick of worldly women, but quickly became disillusioned by the paradox of choice. Tesfaye's new album, Kiss Land , is a glass-clad monolith to his jaded misogynist fantasies and melodramatic jet-setting, fascinating for both its futurist sonic template and its emotionally stunted hypersexuality. From the album's first line ("It's ideal, you need someone to tell you how to feel") to its last ("She forgot the good things about me / She let it slip away"), an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and dissociation sets in. Tesfaye's delicate voice, often breaking into a desperate whimper, constantly echoes off towering synthetic minor chords and spare, hydraulic drum patterns. He is truly lost in the machine. More than any of his contemporaries, Tesfaye personifies the anxiety, narcissism and ironic disconnect of the digital generation. His version of modern love is no fun; it's one built around blame, numbing overindulgence and cold sexual transaction.

    We Are Family! Steps to Salvation for everyone Stacey Smith, Next Generation Minister 2701 Brady Lane, Lafayette, IN 47909 [email protected] 765-474-1633 We Are Family! Part 1 Does God Really Want me? Do you know that God has chosen you to be part of his family? Listen to what the Bible says: “So he decided long ago to adopt us as his children. He did it because of what Jesus Christ has done. It pleased God to do it.” (Ephesians 1:5, NIRV) If you look at this verse in the NIV, it uses the word Predestined. That’s a huge word! What does it mean? It means that there was always a plan in place. BUT some look at that word and say “See God already decided who would be a Christian & who wouldn’t. Nothing I do re- ally can change that.” That’s NOT what that means. What it means is that God has a plan for you to accept him & be saved but he can’t force you to do so. In May of 2019, Amanda Eller went for a run in Hawaii where she lived. The plan was to just go on a 3 mile run but there were some trees on the running path. So she decided to go for a hike instead. After some time in the woods, she headed back to her car but didn’t have a true idea of which way to go. Soon, she got lost. With no phone, no water bottle, and no supplies; she was in some trouble.

  • May 2021 GOSPEL COMMENTARIES 1 May [Joseph the Worker]
    May 2021 GOSPEL COMMENTARIES 1 May [Joseph the Worker] Mt 13:54-58 Jesus came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?" And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honour except in their own country and in their own house." And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief. In this reading, Matthew’s gospel calls Jesus “the carpenter’s son” (verse 55), but Mark’s gospel simply calls him “the carpenter” (6:3). Mark never polishes the surface of the Gospel story, as the others do. Jesus was a carpenter, of course, as well as being the son of a carpenter. Otherwise, what was he doing for thirty years? We need to celebrate Jesus the worker as well as Joseph the worker. In the past, manual work was referred to as “servile work”. It was forbidden on Sundays. If you were an accountant you could spend all your Sundays accounting, but if you were a farmer, for example, or a carpenter, you had to remain idle. ‘Servile’ comes from the Latin ‘servilis’, meaning ‘of a slave’. ‘Servile work’ means ‘the work of slaves’.

A few tracks off the album seem more upbeat for The Weeknd then we are used to hearing with shades of a young Michael Jackson, but are all still catchy and get caught in your head before you know it. The Weeknd has come a long way from the release of his first mixtape “ House of Balloons ” and is quickly turning into one of the new songbirds of our generation.

  • The Seventh Sunday of Easter HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II May 13, 2018 10:30 A.M
    St. John’s Episcopal Church A place to discover connections with God and one another www.sjparish.net The Seventh Sunday of Easter HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II May 13, 2018 10:30 a.m. 2 THE SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER An Easter Message from the Rector How wonderful it is to lift our voices as we shout out with joy, Alleluia, He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia! After journeying through the 40 days of Lent, a time spent in quiet prayer and reflection in the darkened winter months, we are ready to embrace the hope and promise of the new life we are promised in the Risen Christ. We are assured by Christ’s death and resurrection that nothing can vanquish God’s love, not even the sting of death. The Light of Christ has come into the world through God’s boundless grace for you and me, with the promise of new life without end. The Paschal candle, the large single candle to the left of the altar that burns during the 50 days of the Easter season, is a reminder of the Resurrection, where we are reunited with God as the Living Body of Christ. Every Sunday, we gather together to celebrate the Holy Eucharist, (eucharist is Greek for thanksgiving) as a reminder that we each have been given new life in Christ that will never end. So, there is much to celebrate and give thanks for as we shout, Alleluia, He is risen! If you are with us for the first time, please make yourself comfortable.

  • Trumpets: Soon to Be Fulfilled? by Richard T
    Trumpets: Soon To Be Fulfilled? by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (http://www.cgg.org) Trumpets: Soon To Be Fulfilled? Attitudes of Generation X Richard T. Ritenbaugh Given 14-Sep-96; Sermon #255 I have a few questions for you. Which holy day is the most important to you? All of them are important, and all of them are vital to God's plan of salvation. But, which of the seven annual holy days is of the greatest interest to you? Which holy day's fulfillment do you think about most often? Which holy day's fulfillment will have its greatest effect on you, the people of the world, and all the other things through time? Which holy day's meaning has the greatest impact upon us as we live day by day? Which holy day's fulfillment do you yearn for most eagerly? Since today is the Feast of Trumpets, the obvious answer is the Feast of Trumpets. But, have you ever looked at the Feast of Trumpets from the angle of how important it is to us—to you personally? Have you realized how much of an impact the meaning of the Feast of Trumpets has on us day by day? Do you realize that in one form or another, we think about the Day of Trumpets, or its fulfillment, every day of our Christian lives? As a matter of fact, it is one of those things, which is in the "Lord's Prayer," "Thy Kingdom come!" Christ says that we should be praying this all the time. That is our goal: The establishment of the Kingdom of God.
