Review Of A Concert Of Sacred Music From The Moores Opera
Number of words: 591 - Number of pages: 3.... of the Coronation Mass are: Kyrie,
Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei.
My favorite piece was Gloria. It was louder and more powerful then
the rest. The parts were sung by women then men in a beautiful combination.
The music was soft and intimate then quickly getting louder and more
powerful. “Gloria” was trying to make a point in a almost begging manner.
My favorite was the Amen at the end, and how it was equally distributed
between the female and male.
I also enjoyed Credo. It was sad and hurtful. The strings and
oboe played at the time .....

Number of words: 1567 - Number of pages: 6.... of this method of air
supply include the lack of consistent pressure, which leads to inconsistent
pitch and tuning; also, many people were required to operate the bellows since

Also, with organs of this size, the bellows took up large amounts of space, thus
forcing the organ to be located in a fixed place, such as a church.
Up until the eleventh century (approximately), pitch and range of organs were
extremely limited, mainly in part to the lack of a any style of keyboard. Keys

music.
The first section of this essay is Rock n' Roll of the 1950's, when
Rock n' Roll was born. It emerged from rhythm and blues, a music similar to
jazz played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white
teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and

be the stars until Bill Haley appeared w .....

A Cappella? Is That How You Spell It?
Number of words: 1180 - Number of pages: 5.... correct. Why do those
dictionaries muddy the waters with two spellings?
The phrase was first used in Italian Catholic churches, where Latin was the
language for sacred text. Thus, the Latin spelling for 'in the style of the
chapel' - a capella - has some historical basis. However, most other musical
terms - forte, accelerando, and many others - are Italian in origin. Since the
Italian spelling is more consistent with other musical terms, it has been used
more frequently.
Given the difficulty of spelling our favorite style of music, we'd like to
endorse .....
