MUSIC [24 Feb 2006|06:41pm] [ mood | sick ] I'm so sorry it slipped my mind but Ms. DLS has left a few copies of this handout for those who were absent. ANyway, just typed it nalang. HEre it is. Sorry. -Xans POPULAR MUSIC Popular Music is usually in the form of a song with accompaniment (often piano). Its primary intention is to provide entertainment and diversion. Composed and published to make a profit, it is only secondarily a form of self-expression. JAZZ Jazz has no standard definition. It does, however, always involve lively syncopated rhythms and instrumental improvisation. The style was developed around the turn of the twentieth century by African-Americans. Famous jazz musicians include Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong (1901-1971) and Lillian Hardin-Armstrong (1898-1971). ROCK Rock is a form of popular vocal music that has an energetic, syncopated rhythm and features electric guitar accompaniment and other amplified instruments. Its function as dance music was initially paramount and has continued to be important. It has developed in the United States Rock is as much a social phenomenon as it is musical. It is often identified as the music of the youth. No rock group achieved the fame or sold as many records as the Beatles. The members of the group – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and after 1962 Ringo Starr – were all born in Liverpool of working class parents during World War II. The Beatles did not enter the American rock scene until early 1964. By February of 1964 the Beatles were in United States in person for appearances at the Carnegie Hall and a television debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show”. When their plane landed at Kennedy airport, the police had to restrain some 5,000 ecstatic teenagers. At the performance their music could hardly be heard over the screaming. Their main avenue of performance was the recording, as it for the most rock groups. One of their most celebrated albums was “:Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” that demonstrated best the group’s diverse talents. COUNTRY MUSIC The country music associated with Nashville, Tennessee, has been popular for many years. The musical qualities of country style reveal an ancestry in the Southern mountain folksong, which in turn grew out English folksongs. The texts are sometimes narrative in form, and they often express sadness. The harmony, rhythm, and phrase patterns are simple and direct. The songs are often accompanied by electric guitars and fiddle. In country music, the sociological factors are as significant as the musical factors. Increased interest in country music correlates to the renewed interest in nostalgia-looking back with favor on the past, when life seemed simpler and happier. Stars of this kind of music include Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. SOUL Soul or rhythm-and-blues is the popular music associated with America’s black population. Its musical qualities reveal some aspects of African music, especially in the style of singing. It is emotional and forceful, with calls and exclaimed words. The music is often loud. Some writers include gospel music in the soul category and the relationship are close between these styles. Prominent names in soul music include James Brown, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and Stevie Wonder. BROADWAY MUSICALS The Broadway Musical is an American tradition extending back well into the nineteenth century, although it has distant ancestor in the vaudevilles of France. An immediate predecessor was the operetta, which was usually based on long ago-ago-and-far-away subjects. “West Side Story” and “Phantom of the Opera” were among the most popular Broadway musicals ever produced. make hirit

Pathetic Appeal [24 Feb 2006|09:13am] [ mood | oh, poo. ] [ music | yammering and panicky voice in my head ] Dear Classmates: Though it may not be the season of Christmas anymore, it is still ever the time of giving--at least, according to CL class, and we all know how much we can depend on that. Nevertheless, it is true. Now, more than ever, people need a bit of kindness and generosity to brighten up their lives, considering the bleak circumstances of the present. This week, students were told that there would be classes on this most august of days. They were, however, sadly misinformed, for Friday dawned upon the blackboards that told in bold letters: "NO CLASSES TODAY, ALL LEVELS," or something to that effect. But alas, the students were not aware of this, and so they left their school books and notebooks to cool in their lockers, unaware that they would not be given the chance to retrieve them in time for the grueling days of study ahead. And thus, they are bereft of their notes, unarmed in the face of the looming exams that will determine their future report cards. I ask you, will you leave them hanging, alone and defenseless? Will you turn your backs on your unfortunate comrades when they need academic help the most? (...Maybe. *shrug*) So I implore you, and this heartfelt plea goes out to the tenderness in your hearts. Give notes? Anything? Do it for the class, and whatever unfortunate soul may be leeching off this journal. Mikki <--who is, as you may probably conjecture, on the verge of a mental breakdown due to her unspeakable rash of irresponsibility and her tendency to concoct situations in her head of the utmost pessimism. make hirit

Economics Debate [22 Feb 2006|06:00pm] Greetings fellow students!     I would like to congratulate all the debaters for a job well done. All of you were very impressive indeed. I believe we've just had the most exciting debate out of the whole fourth year batch.          Sam Lee, with her frustrated (and murderous) looks;          Danica, with the bone-chilling tone in her voice;          Naesa, with her entertaining responses to Points of Information;          Trish, with her rebuttals and monotone responses;          Bianca, with her very passionate speech on why industrialization is good;          Shaina, with her numerous examples that further substantiated her group's stand; and          Mikki, with her summary that was both eerily (is that a word?) logical and fun to listen to.     Let us not forget to thank and congratulate the active participants present in the class.          Those who gave POIs -- Sarah, Camille, and Marija          The Timers -- Sam DG and Sarah          The Judges -- Ms. Mercado, Arianne Ferrer, and Nicole Baquiran          (And a special mention to Pat who was very vocal during the debate)     If I'm not mistaken, you get extra points for giving Points of Information. I could be wrong though.     Debaters of section B, I congratulate you for making the judges' decision a hard one. Both teams presented very good points to defend their stand on industrialization. They presented them in a clear and organized way that made it easier for others to understand. A job well done. Alright, now for what you've all been waiting for: THE RESULT Both the GOVERNMENT and the OPPOSITION win --~--     100% off - The Debaters                           Sam Lee                           Bianca Encarnacion                           Naesa Orlina                           Mikki Crisostomo                           Danica Jacinto                           Trish De Castro                           Shaina Tantuico                           Keena Chua     50% off - The Researchers                       OPPOSITION                           Rochelle Albelda                           Camille Anton                           Chris Catiis                           Xantine Canlas                           Samantha de Guzman                           Sandie Gadia                           Krisan Jacomina                           Albertina Molano                           Krissy Rivera                       GOVERNMENT                           Lovely De Leon                           Mia Gaviola                           Sarah Salonga                           Patricia Santos                           Mika Trias                           Marija Vicente NOTE     Only those who submitted research and assisted the debaters will get 50% off. The debaters will submit a list of those who helped to Ms. Mercado along with grades. So if you did not help at all, you will get a 'U'. Therefore, your 50% off will not count for anything on Friday. Those who were not able to sign up will have to take the test with 0% off.     To make sure you are not forgotten by the debaters, please leave a comment on this LJ stating your NAME and the GROUP you belong to. Being a researcher does not automatically merit you an 'E'. It would depend on the degree of your assistance. If the debaters do not remember what you did, they are free to ask for proof of your assistance (i.e. "When did you submit?", "What did you submit?", etc.). Also, if the debaters do not believe you submitted research or did not receive your research, provide proof of your claim (screenshots, sent folders, etc.) so that the debaters may re-evaluate their decision (this does not guarantee you will not get a 'U'). Please do not fault our debaters for this, after all, they are only human.     For those who do not know, Government is pro-industrialization while Opposition is anti-industrialization. Thank you for reading this really long entry. I was bored and had nothing to do. From one who has no life, Keena -> This entry is subject to editing. 5 hirits|make hirit
