Ars Nova The Ars Nova in France was started by Philip de Vitry around 1310 and continued through the 1370’s. Ars Nova was known as the “new art” signifying the new French musical style. It made many improvements in music notation and style, however many people were against this and strongly supported the “ancient art”. The new notation required an open mind and reconstruction of musical time. The first change to be made was allowing the “imperfect” and “perfect” divisions of note values and the second divided the semibreve into minims allowing more rhythmic flexibility and new meters, creating for the first time syncopation.
His last aim was the succession. Henry would need a male heir so as to secure the throne for the Tudors. The first of Henry’s aims to be completed was to start the differentiation between himself and his father. In April 1509, just as he had become ruler, he had two of his father’s most powerful men arrested; Edmund Dudley and Richard Empson, and a year later the two were executed. Henry had done this so he could abolish the Council Learned in Law, meaning that he could cancel 175 bonds his father had put in place with his Nobles.
Another cause of the Quasi War was the fact that the French had captured over 300 United State ships. After this, Alexander Hamilton formed an army and navy for better protection (militaryhistory.about.com). Tensions heightened in April 1798, when President John Adams reported to Congress on the XYZ Affair. The previous year, in an attempt to prevent war, Adams sent a delegation to Paris to negotiate peace between the two nations. Upon arriving in France, the delegation was told by three French agents, referred to in reports as X, Y, and Z, that in order to speak to Foreign Minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, they would have to pay a large bribe, provide a loan for the French war effort, and Adams would have to apologize for anti-French statements(militaryhistory.about.com).
FOLLOW THE LEADER ADOLF HITLER Germany in 1930 In 1930 the Germanic social and economic situation was heading towards chaos. After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the United States were forced to call back the money they had loaned Germany in 1924 and 1929, leaving the Weimar Republic with no resources to invest in the economy. The Germanic growth over the last years had been an illusion, as a great deal of the capital invested had been coming from overseas loans. As the money borrowed was paid back, Germany was once again facing bankruptcy. Unemployment, which was not a major issue in 1929, dramatically soared by September 1930 1.
It shows how he struggled while he was alive to earn for his family and profit off of his music. Like so many great artists of his time, he only was able to gain fame and fortune posthumous. You see a role that his family may have played in not only helping but also hindering in his writing of music. And most importantly it shows off his expertise in the understanding of music, one point in the movie depicting Mozart writing an entire symphony in his head. The movie showed the Classical Spirit typical to that commonly associated with late 1700’s Europe.
Meade “Lux” Lewis has a very interesting story. He wasn’t by any stretch of the imagination an instant success, but rather a byproduct of coincidence. Meade was born on September 4th, 1905 into a musical family in Chicago. Meade’s father pushed him to play the violin. Fortunately, Meade was inspired by boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey and decided to switch to piano after his father died.
He crushes the Austrian military and makes them convert to his nationalist beliefs. He soon made changed in his personal life, he divorced his wife for not being able to give him a son. He soon married Marie-Louise in 1810. Marie was the 18 year old daughter of the Austrian emperor. Napoleon then had a son named Napoleon II nicknamed the King of Rome.
Austria had no success and much expense during this time. After Joseph II passed away his brother Leopold II took over. Although Leopold had more potential, the French Revolution came around and as he had a sister who was a Queen in France he was dragged into this and eventually also died. Promptly after Leopold II died,the French declared war on Austria and on his inexperienced son Francis II. Eventually Austria experienced many losses and was pushed back into their one area while most of the other places they ruled over were taken from them.
The 7 years’ war which is also known as the French and Indian War in America began in 1756 when England started a war with France.

The first year of the war England suffered many defeats to France due to the alliances they had. England expanded the war effort and found alliances to help in the war and put themselves in debt trying to beat the French.
Gatsby realizes when he finally has Daisy in his arms she is not exactly consistent with his memory of her in his”ghostly heart”. The first time Daisy and Gatsby are reunited “Daisy tumbled short of his dreams – not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion” (95). The liveliness of Daisy’s memory in Gatsby conflicted the Daisy he spent time with for tea five years later. His ultimate pursuance for the meaning of life made him almost forget about time and how people can change. “...he was consumed with wonder at her presence… he was running down like an over-wound clock” (92) Gatsby’s love for Daisy was succorded by his deception of her image.
