The Most Beautiful And Greatest Musical Works Of The 20th...

On November 2, I was delighted to attend â€Å"Solemn Mass for the Dead on the Feast of All Souls† at St. James Cathedral. Now I still feel highly honored to hear Maurice Duruflà ©Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s Requiem—one of the most beautiful and greatest musical works of the 20th century. As an international student from China and have no religion belief, it’s totally brand new and unusual experience for me to have this special chance to open my eyes widely to see the magnificent church. This opportunity is of great benefit to me to learn Catholic Church and acquaintance with religious faith. What I saw at St. James is the first person lifted the cross with corpus hang on it. Following on are the younger disciples held lighted candles. Then the elder disciples held book†¦show more content†¦First is the Introductory Rites. Secondly is the Liturgy of the word .Thirdly, the Liturgy of Eucharist .Finally , the concluding Rites. One of them is Sanctus. â€Å"Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna is the highest.† We bless God as the one who has power and mercy. Another one is Introit â€Å"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. To you a hymn of praise id due, O Lord, in Zion. To you a vow must be fulfilled in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer! To you all flesh must come.† God let everlasting light shine upon us grant us eternal rest. The famous Lord’s prayer : â€Å"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. The kingdom come. They will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.† We did that before every theology class, my understanding is we should restraint temptation in our life, keep evil away from us. Prayer over the offering: Receive ,Lord you’re your kindness, the sacrificial offering we make for all your servants who sleep in Christ , that ,set free from the bonds of death by this singular sacrifice, they may merit eternal life .Through Christ and Lord.† Even for me who have no religion, I believe if you did good things, God will reward you

The Geoglyphic Art of Chiles Atacama Desert

More than 5,000 geoglyphs—prehistoric works of art placed on or worked into the landscape—have been recorded in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile over the past thirty years. A summary of these investigations appears in a paper by Luis Briones entitled The geoglyphs of the north Chilean desert: an archaeological and artistic perspective,  published in the March 2006 issue of the journal Antiquity.   The Geoglyphs of Chile The best-known geoglyphs in the world are the Nazca lines, built between 200 BC and 800 AD, and located approximately 800 kilometers away in coastal Peru. The Chilean glyphs in the Atacama Desert are far more numerous and varied in style, cover a much larger region (150,000 km2 versus the 250 km2 of the Nazca lines), and were built between 600 and 1500 AD. Both the Nazca lines and the Atacama glyphs had multiple symbolic or ritual purposes; while scholars believe the Atacama glyphs additionally had a vital role in the transportation network connecting the great South American civilizations.Built and refined by several South American cultures—likely including Tiwanaku and Inca, as well as less-advanced groups—the widely varied geoglyphs are in geometric, animal and human forms, and in about fifty different types. Using artifacts and stylistic characteristics, archaeologists believe the earliest were first constructed during the Middle Period, beginning around 800 AD. The most recent may be associated with early Christian rites in the 16th century. Some geoglyphs are found in isolation, some are in panels of up to 50 figures. They are found on hillsides, pampas, and valley floors throughout the Atacama Desert; but they are always found near ancient pre-Hispanic trackways marking llama caravan routes through the difficult regions of the desert connecting the ancient people of South America. Types and Forms of Geoglyphs The geoglyphs of the Atacama Desert were built using three essential methods, ‘extractive’, ‘additive’ and ‘mixed’. Some, like the famous geoglyphs of Nazca, were extracted from the environment, by scraping the dark desert varnish away exposing the lighter subsoil. Additive geoglyphs were built of stones and other natural materials, sorted and carefully placed. Mixed geoglyphs were completed using both techniques  and occasionally painted as well.The most frequent type of geoglyph in the Atacama are geometric forms: circles, concentric circles, circles with dots, rectangles, crosses, arrows, parallel lines, rhomboids; all symbols found in pre-Hispanic ceramics and textiles. One important image is the stepped rhombus, essentially a staircase shape of stacked rhomboids or diamond shapes (such as in the figure).Zoomorphic figures include camelids (llamas or alpacas), foxes, lizards, flamingos, eagles, seagulls, rheas, monkeys, and fishes includin g dolphins or sharks. One frequently occurring image is a caravan of llamas, one or more lines of between three and 80 animals in a row. Another frequent image is that of an amphibian, such as a lizard, toad or serpent; all of these are divinities in the Andean world connected to water rituals.Human figures occur in the geoglyphs and are generally naturalistic in form; some of these are engaged in activities ranging from hunting and fishing to sex and religious ceremonies. On the Arica coastal plains can be found the Lluta style of human representation, a body form with a highly stylized pair of long legs and a square head. This type of glyph is thought to date to AD 1000-1400. Other stylized human figures have a forked crest and a body with concave sides, in the Tarapaca region, dated to AD 800-1400. Why Were the Geoglyphs Built? The complete purpose of the geoglyphs is likely to remain unknown to us today. Possible functions include a cultic worship of mountains  or expressions of devotion to Andean deities; but Briones believes that one vital function of the geoglyphs was to store knowledge of safe pathways for llama caravans through the desert, including the knowledge of where salt flats, water sources, and animal fodder could be found. Briones terms these â€Å"messages, memories and rites† associated with the pathways, part sign post and part story-telling along a transportation network in an ancient form of combined religious and commercial travel, not unlike the rite known from many many cultures on the planet as pilgrimage. Large llama caravans were reported by Spanish chroniclers, and many of the representational glyphs are of caravans. However, no caravan equipment has been found in the desert to date (see Pomeroy 2013). Other potential interpretations include solar alignments.

Night By Elie Wiesel Book Analysis - 708 Words

Luba Frederick, a holocaust survivor, answered â€Å"To die was easy.†, when discussing the tragic and horrible events of the holocaust. In the Nazi concentration camps, life was miserable. Jews were oppressed by Nazi’s and forced to do their dirty work. Families, jobs, dreams, were nothing more than an illusion as cruel and inhumane treatment replaced them. People felt hopeless and looked to death as an option. Many were intrigued with the idea of death, since it was easier to give up rather than choosing to continue. Majority of people stopped eating, gave up their religious faiths and hope, welcoming the darkness to embrace them. Surviving was a constant struggle for these people and the only way to overcome it was the acceptance of death.†¦show more content†¦Why couldn’t he have avoided Idek’s wrath? That was what life in a concentration camp had made of me†¦.†(Night, 54) , the concentration camps turned family against one another. People have been forced to adapt to their surroundings and their surroundings happen to made up of the same negative energy. Suppressed anger was directed to family members rather than the oppressors who imprisoned them. It was either survive or die trying and if people got in the way, disregard them as if they were another stranger in the street. Death would be easier than to watch yourself change for the worse. In the camps Germans used violence and death threats to keep the Jewish prisoners frightened and submissive. â€Å"The night was pitch-black. From time to time, a shot exploded in the darkness. They had orders to shoot anyone who could not sustain the pace. Their fingers on the triggers, and they did not deprive themselves of the pleasure. If one of us stopped for a second, quick shot eliminated the filthy dog.†(Night, 87), the officers didn’t see the Jews as nothing more than inferior. They were viewed to be less and treated like a smelly homeless dog. The prisoners themselves began to act similar to the Germans when they began to view violence as entertainment, a coping mechanism, and pleasure. The inhumane aggression and senseless, cruel violence they were given forced them to be just as inhumane towards their fellow prisoners.Show MoreRelatedAnalysis Of The Book Night By Elie Wiesel945 Words   |  4 PagesElie Wiesel was born in 1928.

My Strength and Weakness in Composition Writing Class

This semester I learned many new things in my English 1301 class. I took this class last year but I had to drop it because I didn’t have a professor explaining the work to me. And I really didn’t understand what I was doing. At first, I was scared to take this class. During my high school years I wasn’t that good of a writer. I thought this composition class was going to be hard since I sometimes thought it was hard in high school. My writing experience was good and sometimes bad. This semester in the composition class I had many writing strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses is what helped me learn the errors I was making while writing essays this semester. My first writing weakness was deciding what to write about. I†¦show more content†¦I was really happy that I didn’t have trouble filling up those pages. This contributed to my essay writing because it showed me that if I don’t give and try my best I will be able to do it. It also showed me to always think positive, if I’m always thinking of negative stuff I won’t be able to set my mind free and try my best in the stuff I do. Another strength I had was finding the symbols in the short story  ¨The Lottery ¨. When I first read it I didn’t find any symbols. After Mrs. Philpott gave us the lesson on symbolism in literature I found many symbols. I also saw how those symbols give the readers clues so we could get a clue of how the ending is. I won’t forget about this lesson and when I read books I’m going to pay close attention to the words. If I pay attention to that maybe I will get a taste of how the ending is going to be. This was one of the lesson I enjoyed the most. This contributed because this is something I’m going to know for the rest of my life. The third writing strength I had was that I didn’t have trouble with the quotes. We had a lesson over how we had to add the quotes on the essay. Th at lesson helped my mind refresh from what I had learned during high school. I wasn’t completely lost on this, but had to pay attention. I was a little scared because it said that if I plagiarized I would get a zero and possibly fail the semester. I personally think that we the writers don’t really try to plagiarize.

Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots free essay sample

Listening to Twenty One Pilots is a unique musical experience. In fact, even classifying their genre is a challenge. Some songs feature a ukulele, making you feel that you are on a beach in the sunshine. Others are full of heavy electronic sounds and rapid-fire rapped lyrics, reminding you of hip-hop. In fact, I don’t think even Twenty One Pilots know exactly how to label their music. In their newest album, â€Å"Blurryface,† Tyler Joseph raps, â€Å"This is not rap, this is not hip-hop/Just another attempt to make the voices stop.† Making it clear that it doesn’t matter how you classify the music; the band exists to keep people sane. The album is centered around the fictional â€Å"Blurryface† character, symbolizing the insecure and fearful person inside us all. The songs address this hologram, the ghost that forces us to act out of fear and insecurity. While the general concept of Blurryface is an interesting idea, the music is lacking. We will write a custom essay sample on Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page The chord patterns are boring and simple, the drums too repetitive, and many songs have weird key changes in the middle. Yet while the musical quality of the album feels like the work of a teen garage band, the lyrics are gold nuggets. The lyrics question whether we are truly evil to the core (â€Å"What I wanna save I’ll kill/Is that who I truly am?†) and look at our longing for the days when â€Å"Momma sang us to sleep, but now we’re stressed out.† The stunningly strong conclusion is â€Å"Goner,† where the lyrics croon, â€Å"I’ve got two faces/Blurry’s the one I’m not, I need your help to/Take him out.† We aren’t strong enough to fix ourselves and our problems; we need something or someone to help us before we, too, become a goner. â€Å"Blurryface† addresses and indirectly answers the questions we all feel in our hearts but have a hard time expressing. For those looking for a flawless record, look elsewhere. Because as Twenty One Pilots explain so well, â€Å"don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless.† But for those who are looking for meaningful and insightful lyrics that artfully explain the humanity in us all, â€Å"Blurryface† is for you. Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots free essay sample Twenty One PIlots â€Å"Blurryface† Album Blurryface being the third and most recent album that Twenty One Pilots has made has gotten a lot of attention to the media. Blurryface was the opportunity for Tyler to create music that talks about his depression, insecurities, and doubts. Although their songs may have dark meanings behind them, Twenty One Pilots knows how to turn their songs into an upbeat song while still talking about what they have been through. Blurryface is an excellent album for those who like alternative and rap not just Blurry Face, but any album by Twenty One Pilots is the album for you. Although Twenty One Pilots have stated that they are trying to create their own genre, some say that it is easier to classify them as rap/alternative with a hint of screamo. Personally the reason I recommend not only just Blurry Face, but any album by them in general is because they make music with a deep meaning. We will write a custom essay sample on Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Their songs could send chills and shivers down your spine in a second. Since I’ve been loving this band and their music for three years now I recommend you give them a try. You will find yourself listening to them song after song and losing yourself in their music. I would recommend starting off with listening to Blurry Face first before progressing further into their music. The Judge is a great song to listen to first off of the album. The Judge talks about how Tyler’s depression has taken a toll on him and he wants his depression to finally set him free. While the song does discuss heavy topics it presents itself in being positive and having an upbeat melody. Another good song off of the Blurry Face would be the songDoubt. The songs talks about how about how he does not want whoever he is addressing in the song to doubt him and forget about. He is also discussing his insecurities and how they are eating at him. This particular song has a somewhat catchy beat, but sti ll has very deep and dark meaning behind it. Overall I would give Blurry Face a solid 10/10 and have no doubt that you all will enjoy this album. Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots free essay sample Imagine all of your insecurities and fears manifested into an entity, one that will remain with you your entire life. You have no way to get rid of it or hide. This character is called Blurryface. Released in 2015, twenty one pilots’ album, Blurryface, opened up a new form of music. A mix of pop, rock, and rap, the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, does it all to portray Blurryface within him. Through his lyrics, you’ll also realize how relatable the situations are to your own personal life or even the life of someone you may know, separating it from the usual songs about teenage angst. Twenty one pilots is a two man band formed by Tyler Joseph in Ohio. He is the lead vocalist and the only singer of the group. The other member is drummer, Josh Dun. Everything began in 2009 within a little town and since then, things have been getting better for the duo. We will write a custom essay sample on Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page They went from selling tickets in front of a Chick-fil-A at the mall, to having two nearly sold out shows at Madison Square Garden. Twenty one pilots even have two songs, â€Å"Ride† and â€Å"Stressed Out,† that made it to the Billboard. Blurryface also earned multiple awards such as the Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Album and the iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock, making it quite the accomplishment for Josh and Tyler. This album is different from the previous one, Vessel, which had a cheerful tune. The constant use of piano chords swapped with ukulele strumming, and the soft, muffled synths are now replaced with a sharp, cold tone. Both changes can be heard through the songs â€Å"The Judge† and â€Å"Fairly Local† from Blurryface. â€Å"The Judge,† opens with a ukulele which plays through the rest of the song and â€Å"Fairly Local† starts with a beat that sounds like the buzzing within a light bulb and even includes a short section of low, grumbly vocals that belong to none other than Blurryface itself. Although the differences found in Blurryface are a huge comparison to Vessel, it is what makes Blurryface so unique in its musical style. The significance of the lyrics found in Tyler’s songs also plays a role. If you pay close attention to the song â€Å"Goner,† you’ll realize that Tyler Joseph is referencing the feeling of being trapped between his two identities, Blurryface and himself. This relationship can also be compared with a teen’s fight for identity when deciding who they are in public or in private. â€Å"I’ve got two faces,† Tyler sings in defeat,† Blurry’s the one I’m not.† This tone really allows the listener to understand what he is going through in the song. Blurryface spreads a powerful message through its heartfelt lyrics and, at the same time, has you jamming out to the music playing in the background. But in the end, the two sounds blended together will definitely have you feeling less â€Å"stressed out† than before.

Architectural and Structural Expressionism of the Lloyds Building, Lime Street, London Essay Example For Students

Architectural and Structural Expressionism of the Lloyds Building, Lime Street, London Essay This futuristic edifice looks like it belongs in a sci-fi film instead than Lime Street in London. The award-winning Lloyds edifice ( besides known as the Inside-Out edifice ) is an iconic architectural landmark and one of the most recognizable buildings on the London skyline. Architect Richard Rogers was the encephalons behind the advanced design, which has its services – including H2O pipes and stairwaies – on the exterior. Built between 1978 and 1986, the edifice besides features 12 exterior lifts, which were the first of their sort in the UK. -Twenty-five old ages immature, the Lloyd s edifice is still shockingly new. Yesterday it was announced that this high-tech City of London tour-de-force, designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership, has been listed Grade I by heritage curate John Penrose. The youngest to be granted that particular position, it joins company with a choice set of postwar edifices including the Royal Festival Hall and Coventry Cathedral. Lloyds is besides the first Grade I-listed edifice designed specifically for alteration. While naming protects historic memorials from insensitive change, the whole point of this late 20th-century reworking of Joseph Paxton s Crystal Palace, crossed with a North Sea oil-rig, is the flexible infinite it offers, and the promise that, one twenty-four hours, it might be re-arranged as easy as if it had been assembled from Meccano. The inside-out, or bowellist , expression of the 88-metre high concrete construction, with its external wall-climbing glass lifts, exposed organ pipe and circuit board, unstained steel clad lavatory cods, is in writing grounds of the manner this breathtaking ensemble was clipped together like a elephantine kit of parts. Naturally, Lloyds has neer been to everyone s gustatory sensation – excessively much like an oil-refinery thumped down following to Wren s City churches and Neo-Classical Bankss clad in Portland rock – and its provocative design is all the more singular given that it was commissioned by and for seemingly conservative, pin-striped City types. With its surging cardinal atrium, the extremist, open-plan inside is nil short of sensational. Even so, it abounds in surprises. High up in the edifice, a door opens to uncover a complete Robert Adam council chamber of the 1760s, stand foring most people s thought of what Grade I listed edifices look like. Attitudes to modern architecture have clearly changed. The biggest alteration of all since so, nevertheless, has been among environmentalists themselves: in the 1980s, they tended to see Lloyds as a modern freak. Now they love it. Architecturally, the Lloyd s Building draws to a great extent on architect Richard Rogers earlier Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. At the bosom of the edifice is a immense atrium, 14 floors and 76 metres ( 249 pess ) tall. On the land floor of the atrium sits the Lutine Bell, salvaged from the Gallic frigate La Lutine which surrendered to the British in 1793. The bell is rung one time for good intelligence and twice for bad, and the expansive atrium carries the sound to everyone in the edifice. This was the first in a three of City office edifices designed by Richard Rogers ; it was followed by 88 Wood Street in 1998, and the Lloyd s Register of Transporting Building in 2000. Inside the glass and steel fells an unexpected hoarded wealth: the classical Italianate wood-panelled Adam Room. Used by the Council of Lloyd s, it was designed by Robert Adam in 1763 and was originally the dining room of Bowood House until brought to Lloyd s piece by piece. Essential services are sited on the outside of the edifice in six perpendicular towers, therefore making big and uninterrupted infinites within. The edifice s tallness rises from seven floors on the south lift through a series of patios to its full tallness on the north side. Due to its original glazing system the edifice emits a warm freshness visible from the outside and is even more dramatic at dark. The edifice s excessive design led to legion awards, including Civic Trust Award, Concrete Society Commendation and Financial Times Architecture at Work Award in 1987, crowned with RIBA Award in 1988 attesting its success and acknowledgment. The edifice takes its name from one Edward Lloyd who founded a java store on this site in 1688, from where nautical insurance was conducted. The Scottsboro Trials EssayCurrent Use Lloyd s Building is the place of Lloyd s of London. Lloyd s of London is non a company by the standard definition of the word. It is alternatively a convergence of investors that pool hazard as portion of one of the most alone insurance establishments in the universe. Lloyd s has become celebrated through most of the universe over the old ages due in portion to the sometimes unusual insurance policies it writes. For illustration, many film stars legs and voices have been covered by the company. Structural EXPRESSIONISM The closest London Underground Stations to the Lloyds edifice are Monument, Fenchurch Street, Aldgate, Tower Hill, Bank. The edifice achieved instant celebrity for the manner its chromium steel steel services and circulation are mounted on the exterior of the edifice s concrete construction, making unfastened, flexible interior infinites. We were able to convert Lloyd’s that we would set the mechanical services on the exterior because mechanical services have a short life, Rogers told Dezeen in an sole interview last twelvemonth. kept the floors clear because Lloyd’s said they wanted two things, Rogers added. They wanted a edifice that would last into the following century we met that one and they wanted a edifice that could run into their altering demands. Lloyd s became one of the most recognized illustration of the hi-tech manner of architecture, although Rogers himself said he was neer keen on the term. I have no great love for high-tech, he said. One would wish to believe one uses the appropriate stuffs, but of class appropriate stuffs are shaped by the clip you live in. We thought Lloyd s was the absolute ultimate in the art of engineering, he added. When I look at it now, it s practically manus made. Update: in a missive to the Sunday Times newspaper, Rogers said that a Lloyd s interpreter had told the designer that the company had neither purpose of go forthing – they are, in fact, negociating their rent reappraisal with the building’s new proprietors – nor are they unhappy with the manner the edifice performs. The edifice has proved to be really flexible and is still a extremely desirable office that has attained some of the best rents in the metropolis and proved to be a antic commercial success, said Rogers. And we know that it will stay so. The interview with Richard Rogers features in our new book, Dezeen Book of Interviews, which is on sale now. In our following film concentrating on cardinal undertakings by Richard Rogers, the British designer negotiations entirely to Dezeen about his extremist Lloyd s edifice in London and explains why he is non wholly comfy with the hi-tech label that is frequently applied to his work.

We think its been there everlastingly surely Prince Charles thinks it has been at that place everlastingly but it hasn’t. It was a hazardous edifice to construct in those times, which is why it is great.
