Magical realism blends magical elements into realistic settings to access a deeper understanding of reality. It originated as a genre in Germany in the 1920s and was later associated with Latin American fiction. In magical realism, extraordinary events are presented as part of everyday life and accepted as such. It influences art, literature, and film by mixing fantastical elements with the commonplace. In literature, magical realism invites readers to use their senses and imagination to experience stories, as seen in the works of authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Laura Esquivel's novel Like Water for Chocolate, where magical elements like ghosts and the effects of recipes are integrated into everyday life.
The earliest English dramas originated in the form of liturgical plays performed in churches to instruct people about Christianity. Over time, they evolved to include more actors and action and were moved outside to churchyards and marketplaces. As the clergy were forbidden from public performances, lay guilds took over producing miracle and mystery plays that retold Bible stories in the vernacular to educate audiences. Morality plays then focused on the inner moral conflict between good and evil. Interludes in the 15th century began adding humor and social commentary during performances. Finally, exposure to Greek and Roman literature in the 16th century led English drama to feature more human emotions and situations in the first regular tragedies and comedies that shifted the

William Wordsworth was a leading poet of the Romantic movement in 18th century Britain. His poetry typically focused on nature and man's relationship with the natural world. In his poem "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge", Wordsworth presents the beauty of nature through his description of early morning London. He describes how the city appears silent and at peace, wearing "the beauty of the morning" like a garment. The river flows freely and the houses seem asleep, while the "mighty heart" of industry lies still - allowing nature to dominate over the inactive city. Through personification and positive language, Wordsworth conveys a vision of urban and natural coexisting harmoniously.

The harpsichord was widely used in the Baroque era but was later replaced by the piano, which allows for more nuanced tone and volume.
Culture and Music The Renaissance & The ReformationJohn Peter Holly
The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century led to the development of new religious denominations that broke from the Catholic Church. These new denominations each developed their own styles of church music, most notably the German chorale style. The chorale style featured a homophonic texture with a melody in the highest voice accompanied by lower voices sharing the same rhythm. This style influenced hymns and part-songs and can be traced through Bach's chorales to influence harmony in classical and later music such as Christmas carols and popular music genres.
The Renaissance Period of Western Musical HistoryJohn Peter Holly
The document provides an overview of Western music history during the Renaissance period from 1400 to 1600 AD. It describes how Renaissance music marked a shift from exclusively religious music to a more secular style, with the development of harmony and new vocal forms like the madrigal. Key developments included the rise of instrumental music and the beginnings of a standardized harmonic system. Important Renaissance composers mentioned include Josquin des Prez, Giovanni Palestrina, and Orlando de Lassus.
This course is an introduction to Western music history from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Topics will include classical music, jazz, film music, and the evolution of American popular music. Students will learn about the major periods of Western music history and composers. They will develop their listening skills by keeping a log of the musical works listened to in class. The goal is for students to gain an understanding and appreciation of different musical styles from throughout Western music history.
The document provides an overview of great jazz singers from the past, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Peggy Lee, Billy Eckstine, Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, and Frank Sinatra. It discusses their careers, musical styles, and provides one or two musical examples for each. The last section honors Louis Armstrong as one of jazz's most influential innovators, describing his career and inclusion of his trumpet in the National Millennium Time Capsule to preserve artifacts of the 20th century for future generations.
The Big Band Era occurred in the early-to-mid 20th century, when large ensembles known as "big bands" became extremely popular. Big bands typically had 17 musicians including saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section. In the 1930s-40s, Swing music emerged and was popularized by big band leaders like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller. Big band music was an important part of American culture during this time and helped develop new styles of jazz, but its popularity declined after World War II as musical tastes changed. However, big bands and jazz have continued to evolve up to the present day.
The document discusses post-modernism in music from the 1930s onward. It describes how post-modernism marked a period of fragmentation and experimentation following modernism, with no single dominant musical style. Composers experimented with new techniques and philosophies, leading to greater diversity and definitions of music. Examples discuss composers like Philip Glass, Gunther Schuller, and George Crumb, who incorporated influences like minimalism, jazz fusion, and unusual instruments and techniques.
This document summarizes the biographies and accomplishments of several classical composers of African heritage, including:
- Joseph Bologne (1745-1799), one of the earliest known classical composers of African heritage. He was a virtuoso violinist and conductor in Paris.
- Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912), an English composer known as "The African Mahler" whose cantata Hiawatha's Wedding Feast brought him international fame.
- William Grant Still (1895-1978), the first African American composer to have a symphony performed by a major U.S. orchestra. He composed for films and operas, including the first by an African American
The document discusses the definition and usage of the term "modern". It originated from the Latin word "modo" meaning "in a certain manner". Over the past four centuries, the definition has evolved to describe things relating to recent or present times, advanced styles and technologies, and currently used languages. The term is also used to describe revolutionary cultural movements that began around 1900 in fields like art, music, dance, literature and architecture. Historians later adopted the term "modern music" to connect new musical values with modern art, literature and philosophy.

5. The words “romance” and
“romantic” are words that have
definitions that are seldom fully
understood.
6. In contemporary American English,
the word “romance” is almost always
used in connection with the word
“love.” In this most common use of the
word, “romance” is used to refer to a
love affair.
But that is only one definition of
the word – and not the original one.
7. In fact, that usage of the word
“romance” is listed as the
7th
definition in many dictionaries.
Here are the other definitions of the
word, “romance,” which are less
commonly used today.
8. Romance:
1.A novel or other prose story
depicting heroic or marvelous deeds,
pageantry, romantic exploits, etc.,
usually in a historical or imaginary
setting;
(The French word for “novel”
is “roman.”)
10. Romance:
3. a Medieval narrative, originally
one in verse and in some Romance
language, treating a heroic,
fantastic, or supernatural series of
events, often in the form of
an allegory.
15. Romance:
8. a group of Indo-European languages
descended since 800 A.D. from Latin,
including French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese, Romanian, Provençal
and Catalan.
16. Romance:
9. to invent or relate romances;
to indulge in fanciful or extravagant
stories or daydreams.
17. In the context or definition we are
using in this course, the word
“Romantic” is used in connection with
the word “Romanticism,” a movement
in art, literature, music and intellectual
thought that originated in the second
half of the 18th century in Europe and
spread to the Americas and other
places around the world.
18. So the word “Romantic”
as applied to art, literature
and music history has little
or nothing to do with
the usual contemporary
usage of the word.
19. The music you have been listening to
is the song “Isn’t It Romantic?”
It was written in 1932 by the
American composer and lyricist team
Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
It was sung in this performance
by the very famous jazz vocalist
Ella Fitzgerald (1917 – 1996).
