Music and Art
This music piece by Mendelssohn is the "Wedding March from a Midsummer Night's Dream," and it begins with the traditional fanfare "Wedding March" that is used as the last piece of music when the bride and groom turn and face their friends and loved ones after the ceremony, in most weddings in the United States and many around the world. It is played on an organ, and has a very stately and melodic quality about it that is dignified and romantic at the same time. You cannot hear this music and not think of weddings, love, and commitment, it simply is not possible. It is so traditional, that it is also difficult to imagine a wedding without it, although many people stray from the traditional and no longer find the need to use it as they "march" down the aisle, newly committed to each other.
A chose Rodin's "The Kiss" to go with this piece of music for obvious reasons. The music is some of the most romantic and well-known for weddings, and Rodin's work embodies the physical elements of love perfectly. When two people marry, they celebrate their love and commitment to each other, and seal these vows with a kiss. Later, they share a kiss on their wedding night, and even more, as this statue implies. The statue embodies the love and physical relationship that comes with marriage, while the music embodies the very origins and roots of that relationship. Thus, the two go perfectly together. One leads to the other, and back again, in a perfect circle. Without love, there is usually not marriage, and without marriage for many people at least, there is no physical relationship. Therefore, these two works embody the two pieces of a committed relationship that bring it together and make it truly whole, and that is why I chose to combine them. I also feel Rodin is one of the most powerful and realistic modern sculptors, and I have always admired his work, which is why I turned to him in the first place.

In other words each music performance is different and the impulsiveness of each performance confirms the concept of indeterminate music. 6) Describe an Indonesian Gamelan. (Textbook p. 282-283) It said that Debussy, when he heard the Indonesian ensemble called gamelan was surprisingly delighted at its diverse and delicate timbers, and decided to use the elements in the impressionistic sound which he was working at developing.

The above perception of the insanity of life is not at all apparent in the second painting of Georges Seurat. While it is mystical, it gives too much quiescence that is there with the impressionistic style. This like Picasso's painting above is a happy trip and does not exhibit as much negative energy as Picasso. He also does not seem to be trying to summon any primitive energies. Rather Seurat's
Music has always been an important part of my life. From the time I was a little boy into my adolescence and through my teenage years, music was my companion whenever I could put my headset on and not get in trouble for listening to music. My good times were accompanied by music and just like my friends, music was there when I wasn't doing so well. In fact music
Music or Musical Theatre Like the Rising Sun Although in conventional times and among younger people jazz music is disparaged as boring 'elevator music', true jazz music is anything but. I reached this conclusion after listening to some excellent concert jazz albums of live music. The work of jazz that I am largely basing the aforementioned thesis on is Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower, which was released in 1966 when jazz music was

Art can come in many shapes, sizes, and mediums, yet one thing that all art has in common is its ability to connect to individuals and enable them to experience catharsis, that is illicit an emotional response. Some of the most awe-inspiring works of art are architectural such as the Lincoln Memorial, which bookmarks the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Lincoln Memorial is impressive and its sheer magnitude and size
