Additionally, with seven different movements in this one composition, this 'song' had the time and the build-up to really work through some climaxes. I believe that the sixth movement of this piece, Nocturne 2, actually did resemble the feel of the night. The types of strings that I typically appreciate are certainly indicative of night time, with their dark, spooky feeling. Although Dutilleux's Nocturne 2 was not quite as scary sounding as some of the modern day compositions I like, it certainly sounded good and came the closet to the type of music that I usually listen to.
Oddly enough, while Ainsi la' nuit was the piece that had elements in it that moved me the most, it also contained movements that helped to alienate me from the music -- and from this type of music -- the most as well. I found both of the litanies in this composition to be boring. They served their place, of course, by creating the lull that the ensuing Constellations (the fifth movement) and Nocturne 2 (the sixth movement) were able to capitalize on with their vibrancy and energy. But those liturgies were really conservative, to the point in which they began to sound like background music on the elevator. I understand that different types of music has a different time and place in which it is appropriate, but those...
The composition started out strong (and with another nocturne) and certainly ended with a flourish. Yet the middle was really boring and tedious to endure.
Overall, I had an enjoyable time at this performance of the Johannes String Quartet. I am not certain that I would like to sit through another one, but it certainly was a good experience for me. The highest compliment I think I can pay this type of music is that certain of the movements sounded like they would go good as music in films. Some of the more active, upbeat passages sounded appropriate for intense, psychological thrillers. Not the type of pulsing, throbbing music used to score car chase and bar fight scens in contemporary action flicks -- I believe some of this music could heighten the emotion in silent parts in a movement where someone is being followed and not aware of it, or stalked in public.
Finally, it was good to hear live music and live strings. Most of the aforementioned types of strings that I listen to are synthesized. There is definitely a vibrancy and warmth that comes across in music when it is played live. In that respect, I am quite pleased to have experienced the strings of the Johannes…
International expansion is one of the growth strategies that are embraced by companies in order to improve their bottom-line/profitability. In this paper, we present an elaborate international marketing strategy for Red Bull energy drink. The marketing plan begins with an introduction into the concept of international expansion and marketing and a brief overview of the company. A review of the main conclusions and recommendations is then presented. This is then
working life of a grade school teacher. The author shadowed a first grade teacher for a full work week and then recorded her observations and findings. The author also included what the experience taught her and how the experience will be used in the future. There were five sources used to complete this paper. Before I shadowed a first grade teacher for 40 hours I had a preconceived idea about
movie industry in America has been controlled by some of the monolithic companies which not only provided a place for making the movies, but also made the movies themselves and then distributed it throughout the entire country. These are movie companies and their entire image revolved around the number of participants of their films. People who wanted to see the movies being made had to go to the "studios"
This did not end the matter, of course, and appeared to be addressed more at the copier than at sites facilitating sharing, which would become the next target. File Sharing Services Napster was the best known but hardly the only website devoted to facilitating file sharing among subscribers. After the courts caused Napster to shut down, at least in its original form, other sites emerged to take its place. A court
It initially failed to attract the desired audience, but it is believed that the recent innovations of the re-launched tablet PC would ensure its success (Search Mobile Computing, 2010). While Apple stated that they were the first creators of tablet computers, Microsoft comes to argue the same. Thorn Holwerda (2010) however states that neither of the two it monoliths were the creator of tablet PC. "Well, no. They're both wrong.
Instead, he challenges the reliability of the person who claims knowledge, by asking him for a definition that would hold for all circumstances. The point is not to ascertain whether he is right in this case, but to see whether his claim could hold for every case. This is close to the skeptical issue, but deceptively so."(Benson, 87) in the Socratic view therefore, knowledge is perceived as the greatest
