TidingsDec14
The passage describes a sermon given by a Yale Divinity School student about the Christian tradition of Advent and waiting for Christmas.

The passage then discusses T.S. Eliot's poem "The Four Quarters" and how it offers a different perspective on waiting - to wait without hope or expectations, as those could be hopes for the "wrong thing." It argues this does not mean sinking into despair but rather opening oneself up to whatever unexpected good news God may bring, without tightly holding onto preconceived narratives

Appropriating Universality: The Coltranes and 1960s Spirituality
The role of the Black Protestant Church has figured prominently in scholarly discussions of African American music culture, and to some extent its importance has been explored with respect to jazz. However, with the exception of the Nation of Islam, the influence of Eastern religious practices among black Americans has not been significantly researched nor have adequate connections been made between these spiritual pursuits and the musical innovations they inspired. Nevertheless, since the mid-’60s, black American artists have explored Yoga, Hinduism, various sects of Buddhism, Ahmadiya Islam, and Bahá’í. The
aesthetic impact of these pursuits has been multi-dimensional and far-reaching. In their study of Asian philosophy and religion, jazz musicians have been exposed to the sounds and musical processes they have discovered in the cultures from which these traditions have emerged. One can hear this influence in musical borrowings, such as the use of traditional instrumentation, the reworking of melodic material from folk and classical genres, and the incorporation of indigenous
improvisational and compositional techniques. Though less audible, Eastern spiritual traditions have also exerted a more abstract philosophical influence that has shaped jazz aesthetics, inspiring jazz musicians to dissolve formal and stylistic boundaries and produce works of great originality. Contextualizing the spiritual explorations of John and Alice Coltrane within American religious culture and liberation movements of the 1960s, this essay explores the way that
their eclectic appropriation of Eastern spiritual concepts and their commitment to spiritual universality not only inspired musical innovation, but also provided a counter-hegemonic, political, and cultural critique.
Music final
This document examines the adversity faced by women in the music industry over time. In the classical era, talented female composers faced suppression and were unable to perform on stage due to their gender. Isabella Leonarda overcame these challenges to publish numerous compositions. During the 1940s and 1960s, women began performing in bands and solo but faced expectations to be sexual icons. Figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Joan Baez achieved success despite struggles and used their music to advocate for civil rights. By the 1990s, women rappers addressed topics like sex and drugs openly. Today, women in music have achieved greater equality and respect and can pursue diverse genres freely by learning from the accomplishments of those who came before.
Maya Angelou Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie J.docx
Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie
Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents
divorced when she was only three and she was
sent with her brother Bailey to live with their
grandmother in the small town of Stamps,
Arkansas. In Stamps, the young girl experienced
the racial discrimination that was the legally
enforced way of life in the American South, but
she also absorbed the deep religious faith and old-
fashioned courtesy of traditional African American
life. She credits her grandmother and her extended family with instilling in
her the values that informed her later life and career. She enjoyed a close
relationship with her brother. Unable to pronounce her name because of a
stutter, Bailey called her "My" for "My sister." A few years later, when he
read a book about the Maya Indians, he began to call her "Maya," and the
name stuck.
At age seven, while visiting her mother in Chicago, she was sexually
molested by her mother's boyfriend. Too ashamed to tell any of the adults
in her life, she confided in her brother. When she later heard the news that
an uncle had killed her attacker, she felt that her words had killed the man.
She fell silent and did not speak for five years.
Maya began to speak again at 13, when she and her brother rejoined their
mother in San Francisco. Maya attended Mission High School and won a
scholarship to study dance and drama at San Francisco's Labor School,
where she was exposed to the progressive ideals that animated her later
political activism. She dropped out of school in her teens to become San
Francisco's first African American female cable car conductor. She later
returned to high school, but became pregnant in her senior year and
graduated a few weeks before giving birth to her son, Guy. She left home at
16 and took on the difficult life of a single mother, supporting herself and
her son by working as a waitress and cook, but she had not given up on
her talents for music, dance, performance and poetry.
In 1952, she married a Greek sailor named
Anastasios Angelopulos. When she began
her career as a nightclub singer, she took the
professional name Maya Angelou, combining
her childhood nickname with a form of her
husband's name. Although the marriage did
not last, her performing career flourished. She
toured Europe with a production of the opera
Porgy and Bess in 1954 and 1955. She
studied modern dance with Martha Graham,
danced with Alvin Ailey on television variety
shows and recorded her first record album,
Calypso Lady (1957).
She had composed song lyrics and poems for many years, and by the end
of the 1950s was increasingly interested in developing her skills as a writer.
She moved to New York, where she joined the Harlem Writers Guild and
took her place among the growing number of young black writers and
artists associated with the Civil Rights Movement. She acted in the historic
Off-Broadwa.
