1. Listen to the “Hallelujah” chorus by George Frideric Handel:

It’s too smooth, are we gonna reach the rock bands one day 😛 I would be great lol. I’m not a fan of chords song but this one is not really the best one seen in the course. The only classical music who could be put into my playlist his dark melodies like apocalyptica from era.

 

2. Look at The Ecstasy of St. Theresa by Gianlorenzo Bernini:

On this statue the angel seems to have fun looking the woman in ecstasy. It is like if the angle was envying the human and at the same time like if he wanted to punish her with the arrow’s head. It the marble statue who makes me ask questions. Asking myself if the angel would kill the woman by jealousy or only because he have been ordered to.

 

 “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to their Parents or Country, and for Making them Beneficial to the Public” by Jonathan Swift

 

 It’s an interesting text, with a rich vocabulary and it’s easy to understand the story. There’re less confusing parts then a Shakespearian play, it’s what making the story greater ‘cause it’s really insulting to do not understand something

“Little Fugue in G Minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach:

When I’m listening this piece, I see the count Dracula playing energetically on his organ, to seduce his new prey and lick her blood. Prefer this piece that the first ones you presented us.

Officer and Laughing Girl by Jan Vermeer:

The shadows on this painting is well done, it’s great to see a old map with lot of details behind the lady. It’s a painting really realistic not realistic like di Vinci could do but probably the second painting the most realistic presented in this course

To His Mistress Going to Bed” by John Donne

It’s like a poem who could be recently wrote, but I guess, it’s been a while that the author have putted it on paper with his nib. It’s a good picture next to this romantic poem, guess further we go into the course better the text are going. We started with text who couldn’t be read by anyone and now we have masterpiece who could inspire us to write love letters to the ONE.

Tu se morta doesn’t impress me; it’s boring, the rhythm is too slow and too unpleasant. It’s probably the worst audio piece you presented us on the internet. The others ones had more rhythm a good beat even if they have been wrote centuries before the car.

There’s a lot of detail into this marble statue, Michelangelo must have studied the human body as well as Leonard De Vinci to curve all the muscles on the chest. Naked like this I hope, he didn’t want go swim ‘cause his idea gonna sank….

Gosh! it’s confusing to read this, I tried to read the first page and my eyes were trying to go out party somewhere more comprehensive, I prefer the old stories like last week with nobles, knights, magicians and ladies oh ya!

“As Vesta Was From Latmos Hill Descending” by Thomas Weelkes:

I think the classical music have been invented to calm down the folks because no one would want to make a murder on a classical beat music. It’s a good classical music but I prefer the Agnus Dei from Guillaume de Machaut it’s like an old monk mantra.

Leonard da Vinci’s The Virgin and Child with St. Anne

This painting makes me feel like a child, because I remember me playing with my legos, mom watching me proud of super car that could fly away in my imagination. I have already seen this painting in a philosophy course, why spoke about the problems of Leonard who had 2 mothers and also the swan form into the blue dress. Strangely more we progress in the time more the paintings become more beautiful and with greater details.

 Chapters I to VII from Book I of Le Morte Darthur by Sir Thomas Malory

I love the topics about knights and kings, it’s making me return into my childhood. This text is more readable than the last one (”The Wife of Bath Tale”) and it’s the same subject with magicians, kings. The bad comment about this text is that I would want to have an audio file to hear it with the English accent like Beowulf’s story.
