O Successores was a musical selection written by Hildegard Bingen. A mass which played a huge role in the catholic church was a worship service done in the latin language. Guillaume was one of the motet composers during this time and he wrote the Notre Dame Mass which is located in Paris, France. A motet is a number of choral musical compositions.Also during the middle ages the troubadours and trouveres were nobles that traveled throughout Europe. The songs usually performed by court minstrels most of them dealt with love.
The ancient nature of the text makes it “one of the most beautiful and expressive in the Roman Missal (the book that contains the texts of the mass). A Requiem Mass is simply a celebration for the deceased. Requiem comes from the first line in the Roman Missal for the mass: requiem aeternam, or rest eternal. This special text from the Roman Missal became a sung part of the mass through the Gregorian chant. How the text of the Roman Missal became set to chant is unknown.
Clare of Assisi (1194-1253) was one of the most influential women in the early medieval period of Roman Catholic church history. A follower of Francis of Assisi, Clare founded her own order, the Poor Clares, based on his tenets of charity and humility. She is thought to be the first woman in the history of the church to write her own rule, or guidelines for the religious life of her order. Desiring to join such a community herself, Clare sought out Francis, and went to Mass at the Assisi cathedral on Palm. Instead of joining the queue to receive the palm leaf--an act that recalled a biblical incident in which Christ entered Jerusalem and to welcome him, believers cut boughs from trees and tossed them in his path.
Amidst the authentic sculptures, paintings, and tapestry cleverly displayed on the walls of the various chambers in the Duomo Museum of Florence, Italy, lies a piece of art that has influenced the way people of the Renaissance have thought about their society. Intricately engraved in marble in 1439, the Cantoria, or “Singing Gallery” is truly one of the most influential pieces of humanist work. Created by artists Donatello and Luca Della Robbia, the Cantoria is an intricate masterpiece that would have been used at the time as balconies for the Florence Cathedral church choir to sing in. Unfortunately, it was much too small and fragile, and weekly usage would not only result in possible damage, but possess a risk for the choir members, as the balconies could easily collapse. It was already unrecognizable as a piece of furniture however; people thought it was a delicate piece of art from the moment it was taken into the church.
This freedom that nuns enjoyed allowed them to work and use their creativity in many different ways. In the monasteries besides getting educated, women also had the option to be trained as illuminators. Since in these time the production and storage of sacred books and secular classics was confined to monasteries and convents, women got a chance to use their training as painters in the production of these sacred books. The production of sacred books, allowed women of this time more than one choice at the kind of creative work they wanted to do. One of these options was to work as an illuminator.
Opera in the Baroque Period Opera is an aesthetic art form of the highest quality because it incorporates music, literature, acting, dance, costumes and scenery all delivered through a performance. Opera was created to unify words and tones, play and music. But what are the origins of opera as we know it today? To answer this question one has to go deep into the roots of music history, specifically the baroque period (1600 – 1750). The setting of opera is credited to a group of intellectuals to whom history has given the name of the Camerata.
With all that said (even if she didn't deserve that credit she got and it would be better used elsewhere in Mary Seacole) she still had a huge influence on nursing and future improvements via Nightingale training school for nurses. Source 4 describes Nightingale as a 'ministering angel' whom filled every fellows face with gratitude with the sight of her. However this source is from the times newspaper who would later be the main force behind the Nightingale fund (as well as already funding her scheme) and the writer would undoubtedly be William Russell (the first journalist to report on war time) who was an avid supporter of Nightingale meaning that the source may have been influenced by this causing it to become corrupt. Although true and supported by almost all reports that she worked with extreme devotion and dedication as well as being known as 'the lady with the lamp' through this dedication in serving the soldiers nearly 24/7, the source does not refer to her improvements of medical care, only how Nightingale influenced the soldiers mentally. Source 5 much like source 4 supports Nightingale.
In exchange St. Bueno offered to teach Winefride. Under St. Bueno’s teaching, Winefride made great progress in learning and virtue. With her parent’s permission she made a vow of chastity, to serve God and become a nun. News of her beauty and learning accomplishments spread through the country, gaining the attention of Caradoc, son of Prince Alen who wished to seek her hand in marriage. The thought of Winefride giving herself to God seemed to add to the challenge for Caradoc, who
[4] It was a stark, frugal life demanding strict discipline but raised with the charity of the Catholic faith. At age eighteen, Chanel, now too old to remain at Aubazine, went to live in a boarding house set aside for Catholic girls in the town of Moulins. [5] Having learned the sewing arts during her six years at Aubazine, Chanel was able to find employment as a seamstress. When not plying her trade with a needle, she sang in a cabaret frequented by cavalry officers. It was at this time that Gabrielle acquired the name “Coco,” a name possibly derived from a popular song she sang, or an allusion to the French word for kept woman: cocotte.
From the time of the early church, women were not ordained to the priesthood but as religious sisters and nuns, they came to play an important role in Christianity through convents and abbeys and have continued through history to be active - particularly in the establishment of schools, hospitals, nursing homes and monastic settlements. In some communities women were allowed to serve as priests and great power was attributed to the Virgin Mary. As stated in chapter 11, P. 9.14, Women were to pray with their head covered, or dishonor their “head”. Women were also allowed to be independent, and could move up and down classes as they pleased, due to the lack of caste system
