Jacques de Liege objected to the Ars Nova and defended the “ancient art”. He believed that the people appreciated and enjoyed the ancient motets and the ancient manner more than the new. Many arguments were made against the “new art” Ars Nova. Motets were the initial musical works by Philip de Vitry to represent the Ars Nova. The motets sung in Latin used isorhythm creating equal rhythm throughout.
When Keynes rejected the scale of reparations placed on Germany and resigned from his post at the Treasury, he lead the way for what many leading politicians were to understand later on. Keynes supported the approach of Lloyd George that for economic and political reasons, Europe needed a successful Germany, which would be seriously difficult to achieve whilst the excessive reparations were placed on them. Furthermore, his book The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919), was successful in influencing the view of Britain that a weak Germany would only make the recovery of Europe after the war, a lot more difficult. On the other hand, from taking this view, politicians were criticised for being 'too lenient' towards Germany. Even Lloyd George, who took a much tougher political approach towards the reparations, received criticism.
Another reason why most proposed amendments fail to pass is the difficulties posed by the very complex amendment process. The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. However the first way is very difficult to achieve and there have been many amendments which have been or currently are very close to being passed, e.g. the Child labour Amendment.
Its often tied up to commercialism, however, not all popular music is commercially successful and this can be for a number of reasons. In the 20th century popular music was largely American based but there is a significant British influence during the 1960’s which is sometimes referred to as the ‘British Invasion’. Although it’s hard to pinpoint a starting point Elvis Presley is deemed as the place to being. However, others may argue that Bill Haleys, ‘Rock around the clock’, 1955 is the better starting point of the 2. Popular music has constantly been seen as a vital social impact in various ways.
Running Head: Music of Different Cultures Music of Different Cultures Alicia Watts Grand Canyon University MUS 252 Music Appreciations September 1, 2008 Music provides the soundtrack of our lives. We listen to music to pass time, to relax, and to set a mood. However, as important as music is to our lives, we seldom treat it as a window into history. In fact, American popular music provides an index into certain fundamental historical experiences, such as slavery and immigration. Every group of Americans had its own distinctive musical traditions.
This was one of Ellington's many pieces written with very little room for improvisation and it was very demanding, structurally and harmonically. These two songs are considered to be an important stepping stone for another famous song Ko-Ko. Ko-Ko was written in the crescendo form where each chorus builds on the one before it. Ellington included many different enhancements to add depth to the song such as dynamics, harmonic density, timbre, and increasingly expanded
Robert Cody Amerson M-W 2:30-3:45 WRITING ASSIGNMENT 1 - What is HISTORIOGRAPHY? Is history really an objective collection of “facts”? Historiography is the study of how history itself is written and passed on through the ages. No, I do not believe that history is an objective collection of facts. I feel that most of the worlds history is a collection of biased facts.
But, with the collapse of the Austrian empire it was possible that in the future Austria may look for support from Germany- join forces to become a union. Traditionally, even though they are both German speaking countries these two countries had separate empires, and Austria tended to be the strongest of the pair. So, because Wilson was determined to allow self-determination for all Europeans, to him if Austria wanted to create a union with Germany they should be allowed. However, Clemenceau’s view was very much different. He wanted to keep Germany as weak and small as possible.
Response Paper # 3 The American Revolution can be described as a conservative revolution in that British America felt that Great Britain’s new taxes on the colonies were upsetting their rights as Britain’s and disrupting what had been a peaceful existence without any previous interference from Great Britain. even though there were small groups that wanted their freedom and rights that would be new to them; like slaves, women, Indians, and separatists; the American revolution was still a conservative revolution in which British America felt they were beginning to be treated as second class citizens as their rights were being taken away. For of their time in the colonies, Americans were left without much interference from the crown. During
I. Overview Forty years after the Woodstock music festival glorified and exacerbated the generational fractures in American life, the public today says there are big differences between younger and older adults in their values, use of technology, work ethic, and respect and tolerance for others. [pic]But this modern generation gap is a much more subdued affair than the one that raged in the 1960s, for relatively few Americans of any age see it as a source of conflict — either in society at large or in their own families. Moreover, there’s now broad agreement across the generations about one realm of American culture that had been an intense battlefield in the 1960s: the music. In the four decades since Woodstock, rock and roll has
