Dufay Ballade
Guillaume Dufay’s mass, Missa Se La face ay pale is largely based on his previous ballade Se la face ay pale. In fact, the cantus firmus is completely based on the tenor line used in his ballade. Dufay maintained the durations that were used in the tenor part in his ballade, but he added verbal cue to change the durations when in performance. Because of this, all the different parts of the mass had the tenor line moving at different paces. The result of this is a different sounding polyphony in each part of the mass, but the tenor voice still has the same melody. Even though Dufay use the tenor line as his cantus firmus, and did not change the tenor line before doing so, it is very hard to recognize that he used the line directly from his

    Russian Shostakovich Analysis

    The orchestral introduction of the song no. 2 mm. 1-18 displays the uncertainty of major-minor mode, in which the music sounds as if in an F# minor key, but the E major chords in mm. 16-18 that proceeds to the A major chord in m. 19 provide a certainty that A major is the actual key of the music (fig. 15), whereas the submediant chord at the beginning of the song obscures the actual key and provides the song a minor flavor.…

    Guillaume Dufay

    Guillaume Dufay was a master of varied musical genres and a style of French poetry and melodic lyricism that were unfounded until this era. Dufay was born as an illegitimate son in what is present day Belgium, probably in Beersel, close to Brussels. He was educated at a cathedral school in Cambrai in northeastern France and was quickly made to be a choirboy because of his musical talents. He was very well traveled, taking trips to places like Italy, Savoy and Germany often. It was from his travels and constant studying of music that he was able to get a firm grasp on all of the current and historical forms of music that were available at that time. Dufay borrowed from the French and Italians before him and the contemporary composers of the day that were English and Burgundian. He incorporated all of these styles of music in his own creations and would often juxtapose two contrasting styles in one piece. It is from this observation and incorporation of past and present styles that made Dufay out to be the most internationally acclaimed composer of the fifteenth century.…

    Music Analysis of Ave Verum

    Music Analysis of Ave Verum

    Ave Verum Corpus is a hymn, originally sung in Catholic homes, referencing Jesus’ Last Supper. The piece has been arranged differently over many centuries – William Byrd in the Renaissance period, Edward Elgar in the Romantic period and Francis Poulenc in the 20th Century. The three ‘versions’ of Ave Verum Corpus have pivotal similarities and differences, showcasing the different styles of each composer. The most obvious similarity between all three adaptions is the text, a vital part of a Catholic worship service. The melodic shape of the pieces are very similar, with the melody building to important phrases such as ‘O Jesu, File Mariae’ (Oh Jesus, Son of Mary). The phrase reaches a climax point before receding away. The timbre remains the same throughout all three adaptions – SATB, except the Elgar has an organ/piano part. The texture is a key difference between the Byrd/Elgar and the Poulenc. Because Poulenc was writing in the 20th Century, the characteristics of the time were very different to Elgar and Byrd. Impressionism was encouraged so the layering of parts was very different. The range of dynamics used in the Poulenc is not subtle, like the Byrd and the Elgar. The Byrd had a mostly homophonic texture, with the occasional polyphonic writing and one section in canon. This is the ‘style’ of the Renaissance time, nothing that took away from the solemn worship people of the time were accustomed to. Whereas Poulenc wrote polyphonically, creating a jovial sense and a more lively piece (even though his adaptation is in a minor). The use of irregular phrasing of the overlapping melodies was featured in Poulenc. The text even overlaps with each other due to the question answer style between the Soprano 1 and Soprano 2 parts. The layering of the Elgar is similar to the Byrd, with sombre sustained chords in the organ part. Elgar begins with a single soprano line before the second verse ‘Ave Verum…

    13th and 14th Century Motets

    In the 13th century, the motet usually consisted of 3 to 4 voices. Most often, each of these voices would sing their own text, with the tenor singing the chant as previously mentioned. Usually the top voice or the triplum had the longest text and the smallest note values. The middle voice, or duplum, had less text and slightly longer note values. The tenor sang the sacred text and the longest note values. This concept becomes known as the Franconian motet. This idea would continue for the 14th century motets.…

    Bauhaus Esay

    This was Bauhaus when was produced with pre-industrial methods which included woodwork, weaving, and stained glasses. This made Gropius worried that the Bauhaus was not good enough and good enough for the market so he decided that the Bauhaus would only create designs for mass production, simplistic designs that can be essential to everyone. This caused him to fire Itten and employ artists like Wassily Kandinsky. Paul Klee and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, who reflected more modern styles in their designs and were interested in designing and producing the Bauhaus at an industrial level. Early Bauhaus designs include: • The 1923 model for public housing designed by Benita Otte • The geometric tour de force of Marianne Brandt’s teapot in 1924 • Herbert Bayer’s universal typeface in 1926 • Breuer’s Cesca chairs which utilised steel tubes in 1928 The Bauhaus’s latest concentration on technology was disapproved by the Weimar Government which caused Gropius to relocate the school to Dessau, an industrial town near Berlin, in 1925. Gropius designed the popular Bauhaus building while in Dessau. It had an industrial aesthetic with concrete and steel things we now recognise as the foundation of modern architecture. Old students like Josef Albers, Breuer and Brandt took the position of young masters and they advertised the Bauhaus philosophy of simplistic fusion of aesthetics of function. Gropius resigned from the Bauhaus in 1928 which caused political problems. In 1930, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was employed by Dessau an he was obedient to government legislations and expelled communist students. After the Nazi came into power in 1932, the Bauhaus was closed down within a month. Mies temporarily moved the school to Berlin but the Bauhaus was still a prime target for the Nazi’s. Several Bauhaus artists were killed by Germans. It was in America that Bauhaus became most successful after the Black Mountain College in North Carolina was established in part on Bauhaus…

    Job Satisfaction among Women in the United Arab Emirates By Musa Shallal 1 Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that contribute to job satisfaction for employed Emirati females in the United Arab Emirates. Survey data were collected from 1272 workers in both private and public sectors in all seven emirates of the UAE. Almost 50% of these women were married, 45% single, 4% divorced and 1% widows. Regression results indicated three prominent factors that enhance job satisfaction – age, education, and income. There is a positive significant relationship between job satisfaction and age. Second, employed females with education beyond the secondary level are more satisfied with their jobs than those with less than the secondary level (p-values less than 0.05). Third, the employed females with high incomes are more satisfied with their jobs than those who earn less (p-value=0.034). Keywords: women’s job satisfaction, United Arab Emirates, women in United Arab Emirates Introduction The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the fastest growing economies in the Middle East. It is often described as an open society compared to other countries in the Gulf region, one where women have more freedom. The recent 2010 World Economic Forum annual gender gap index ranked UAE at 103 of 134 countries, making it the region’s best-placed nation. Kuwait was next at 105th, followed by Bahrain at 110th, Qatar 117th, Oman 122nd, Saudi Arabia 129th and Yemen last at 134th. (http://www.weforum.org/en/initiatives/gcp/Gender%20Gap/index.htm). A leading global management consulting firm Booz & Company (2010) reported women’s participation rate in the UAE (59%) is the highest among the other neighboring countries: far ahead of Qatar’s 36.4%, Bahrain’s 34.3%, and Saudi Arabia’s 14.4%. Earlier, the UAE 2005 census reported women account for 49.3 percent of the national population; and that their participation in the country’s business community has grown steadily from…
