I attended a baroque sinfonia at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music‚ directed by Adam Gilbert‚ director of the early music program. The program consisted of selections from The Fairy Queen‚ originally composed by Henry Purcell. The overall performing environment was quite outstanding. It was great that the performers were on an elevated stage‚ making it much easier to see and hear them. It’s always crucial to be able to make eye contact with the performers in order to establish

June 21‚ 2013 Music Appreciation Writing Assignment #3 Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas Henry Purcell offered us sadness with minor keys and happiness with major keys.

I made a B+ plus on this paper. My weakness was with a poorly stated thesis. The Relationship Between Dido and Aeneas It is clear that Virgil’s work‚ The Aeneid‚ is one of the most influential epics written in the history of western literature. Perhaps one of the most important factors within this work is the relationship between Aeneas and Dido‚ and the way that the gods control them.
