He has sat in Chamber of Deputies of Italy for couple of years. Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was born in Germany. He has composed his first work Die Feen at age of 20, but it has never been performed during his lifetime. He has been appointed conductor of the King of Saxony after performance of Rienzi. He also wrote important literary works in his life, and his music dramas Die meistersinger von Nibelung, The Ring of The Nibelung, Tristan und Isolde were performed at last.
Don Chipote constantly daydreams of being able to provide a better life for himself and his family. “He dreamt that the cornfields, rather than ears of corn, yielded a harvest of glittering gold coins and he felt downright extraordinary because now he no longer needed to work.” (21) His desire to live a better life up until he met Pitacio was nothing but a dream. Pitacio also grew up poor in the same town as Don Chipote. From an early age Pitacio had a fear of working. Of poor yet drunk parents, the boy demonstrated a terrible fear of work from a very early age; for all times that Pitacio’s father sent him out to scare away the birds so they would not eat the crops, he had yet to get Pitacio to
William Billings: American Patriot Quintessential American figure William Billings was born in 1746, (Huff) and was a first-generation American living in colonial Boston. Known as the Father of American Choral Music, (Deibel) Billings was a tanner by trade and was often described as a man “with a short leg, one eye, a withered arm, a stentorian voice, a habit of taking enormous amounts of snuff.” (Armenta) Billings had a very conservative upbringing in the colonial congregational churches. Although history is silent about his musical education, most believe he was self-taught, other than the little training he received in the Bostonian Singing Schools, utilizing mostly hymn tunes as curriculum. Billings limited his composing to mostly sacred choral music in the form of hymns. (Armenta) Billings was known for writing his own texts and broke from colonial New England tradition and used the psalms verses for many of the lyrics of his hymns.
In his Common Application essay, Enin writes about his love of music into a story about leadership, community, and bringing joy to the world by singing and dancing in a production of Guys and Dolls. It was because of this same essay that 12 colleges including all eight Ivy League universities had decided to accept him. They include Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Duke, Stony Brook University, SUNY Geneseo and Binghamton University. His academic performance has made him the subject of interviews by dozens of local, national, and international news
Joy Gary English 103 20 Feet from Stardom Behind every great star is great singing talent backing them up. Backup vocalists are the voices behind the greatest rock, pop, and R&B hits of all time; but no one knows their name. Morgan Neville, director of the 2013 documentary of 20 Feet from Stardom follows the lives of behind the scenes backup singers and stars. His curiosity inspired the making of this film. He shines an overdue spotlight on the hit making contributions of long time and short time backup singers such as Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Judith Hill, and Lisa Fisher.
Taken to cabarets and nightclubs by an aunt, she was introduced to the world of professional music. At the encouragement of a cousin, Cruz began to enter and win local talent shows. Although her father attempted to guide her toward a career as a teacher, Cruz continued to be lured by music. In a 1997 interview, she said, "I have fulfilled my father's wish to be a teacher as, through my music, I teach generations of people about my culture and the happiness that is found in just living life. As a performer, I want people to feel their hearts sing and their spirits soar."
He was also the first composer to have received a life peerage. The Simple Symphony was written for a string orchestra or string quartet and is dedicated to his childhood viola teacher, Audrey Alston. The Simple Symphony was composed when Britten was 23 and was first performed by an amateur orchestra conducted by Britten himself in 1934 at Stuart Hall, Norwich. The themes in this symphony are a collection of themes that Britten had composed all during his youth. The Simple Symphony begins with the Boisterous Bourrée, starting with a bold heavily accented theme that is passed around in a fugue-like manner and makes way for a calmer theme and hints of pizzicato that help lead into the second movement.
Giordani scored a vast victory with his opera La disfatta di Dario at La Scala in 1789. That same year he accepted the popular and desirable post of maestro di cappella at the Fermo Cathedral. He took on a second and a somewhat similar post just two years later. Only this time it was located at the Holy Spirit Church. Regardless, of these challenging obstacles every composer comes across in their musical career, Giordani continued composing music and was extremely successful doing it.
Haydn was able to begin immediately his pursuit of a career as a freelance musician. During this arduous time, Haydn worked at many different jobs: as a music teacher, as a street serenader, and eventually, in 1752, as valet–accompanist for the Italian composer Nicola Propora, from whom he later said he learned "the true fundamentals of composition" Franz Joseph Haydn is the composer who, more than any other, epitomizes the aims and achievements of the Classical era. Perhaps his most important achievement was that he developed and evolved in countless subtle ways the most influential structural principle in the history of music: his perfection of the set of expectations known as sonata form made an epochal impact. In hundreds of instrumental sonatas, string quartets, and symphonies, Haydn both broke new ground and provided durable models; indeed, he was among the creators of these fundamental genres of classical music. His influence upon later composers is immeasurable; Haydn's most illustrious pupil, Beethoven, was the direct beneficiary of the elder master's musical imagination, and Haydn's shadow lurks within (and sometimes looms over) the music of composers like Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms.
It is recognized all over the world, and it has the ability to bring people together in times of joy, tragedy, war, and peace. As someone who understands both the simplicity and the complexity of music, I am very opinionated as to what makes music “good” or in better words, worth listening to. Composers such as Vivaldi, Mozart, and many others helped to define music of their generations. Everyone knew and appreciated the works they composed, and a great number of people still find the time to appreciate it. In the rock and roll era, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin started revolutions in their own ways.
