Game of Thrones: Jon Snow’s Alive

After months of speculation, spoilers, and half-truths, Kit Harington’scharacter Jon Snow is back from the dead. And, seemingly, after all that, it happened exactly the way both book readers and show watchers thought it would. Melisandre, like Thoros of Myr before her, prayed to the Lord of Light and Jon Snow opened his eyes. But is it really that simple?

RYTHM

1)How do you think,is rhythm so important for music?

The music rhythm is the beat. It is the most important element in music. It drives the music forward. It is the gasoline of music. Rhythms can be simple or complicated. Rhythm is the part of music that contracts most immediately and spontaneously without bodies.

2)Where from rhythm is come?

 The first sensation of pulse was of course mother's heartbeat in the room.

3)How can we call speed on Italian?

Tempo

4)What is it "swing"?

It is a form of American music that developed in the early 1930s and became a distinctive style by 1935. Swing uses a strong rhythm section of double bass and drums as the anchor for a lead section of brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones, woodwinds including saxophones and clarinets, and sometimes stringed instruments such as violin and guitar, medium to fast tempos, and a "lilting" swing time rhythm.

How music works.....

Part 1

• Music is a type of language that transmits ideas through sound patterns. There are many similarities with our spoken languages. Like a sentence, a melody has a beginning, middle, and end. Tunes can act as a bridge between cultures when language fails us, tunes can inspire patrotizm, hope, they can express love, loss.
• A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave in contrast to a heptatonic (seven note) scale such as the major scale and minor scale. Pentatonic scales are very common and are found all over the world.
•  The names are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
• There are 13 notes in the western scale. The number of notes is not the same in different cultures?
• "pitch" is the particular tonal standard with which given tonesmay be compared in  respect to their relative level. Высота звука.

Part 2 

• "interval"-An interval is the distance between two notes. Intervals are always counted from the lower note to the higher one, with the lower note being counted as one. Intervals come in different qualities and size. If the notes are sounded successively, it is a melodic interval. If sounded simultaneously, then it is a harmonic interval (интервал, пауза) "semitone"-The letters of the alphabet are separated by tones and semitones.E to F is a semitone. Twice a semitone is a tone.F to G is a tone. The alphabet is not equidistant (полутон) "whole tone"-is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole step.(целотонный)
• The experiment: He's trying to sing 2 whole tones and then 2 semitones. He claims, that it is easier for people to sing the whole tones rather than semitones.
• Just like in story-telling, there are also archetypes - ancient arragements - in tune. They are scales, which help to compose a melody. There are different sets of notes in different cultures, but nevertheless they share a basic concept.
• "mode"-Mode generally refers to a type of scale. Mode makes people to feel different the emotions. There are various events when this or that mode is used to: festivals, birthdays, celebrations, holidays etc. Тональность, лад
• The Aeolian mode sounds solemn and sorrowful.
• " to sharpen the note"- повышать ноту " to flatten the note"-понижать ноту. This is the same as moving one key to the left on a piano keyboard.

Part 3

• "diatonic"- of, relating to, or being a musical scale (as a major or minor scale) comprising intervals of five whole steps and two half steps. Диатонический
• The ol notes were much more attached that chosen started points. Tne minor scale patterns on changed and fixed. It can start on any of the semitones in Western ladder. The old instruments could only play the certain modes. Major scale is identical to the old Ionian mode, it was rebranded. The new minor and major scales were designed to be compatable with each other. 1. The same arrangement of notes works no matter what note or pitch you started your scale. 2. When the different modes developed, new instruments were produced, that could play together.

Part 4

• simple melody, moody and pationate part, minor scale turns into major, short and dramatic melody.
• Their music was in Phrygian mode, step by step movements. They are the representatives of "the curse of ninth". The curse of the ninth is a superstition connected with the history of classical music. In essence, it is the belief that a "ninth symphony" is destined to be a composer's last; i.e. that he or she will be "fated" to die after writing it, or before completing a "tenth". To those who give credence to the notion, a composer who produces a ninth symphony has reached a decisive landmark -- and to then embark on a tenth is a challenge to "fate".

Part 5

• This music is like the music of 16th century. The sound of the mode is associated with the industry which has been in Britain for centuries. It was written in Dorian mode.
• 4: African melodies, melodies of non-conformist religious groups, folk and classical music, jewish folk music.

Painting

Artist:John Singer Sargent

Title: The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit

Date: 1882

Medium: Oil on canvas

Size: 221.93 x 222.57 cm

Country of origin: France

Current location: Museum of Fine Arts in Boston     

The painting depicts four young girls, the daughters of Edward Darley Boit, in their family's Paris apartment. The painting's unusual composition was noted from its earliest viewings, initially its subject was interpreted simply as that of girls at play, but it has subsequently been viewed in more abstract terms, reflecting Freudian analysis and a greater interest in the ambiguities of adolescence. The four Daughters of Edward Darley Boit are, from left to right: Mary Louisa (1874-1945, about 8 years old at the time), Flourennce (1868-1919, about 14 yrs old), Jane (1870-1955, about 12 yrs old), and Julia (1878-1969, about 4 yrs old). None of the girls ever married, and both Flourennce and Jane, the two rear daughters, became to some extent mentally or emotionally disturbed. Mary Louisa and Julia, the front two girls, remained close as they grew older, and Julia, the youngest, became an accomplished painter in water-colors. 

I like this picture, i think that John Singer Sargent is a genius and all his works are really valuable.

The James Cameron Task

1) James Cameron was a bookworm when he was a child. He read science fiction everywhere. I think he wasn't a popular boy at school and he didn't have a lot of friends, maybe just few closed friends who also were deep into study. He was weird in comparison with other students. I believe such people are very interesting but they live in their own world, so it's rather difficult to understant them, their thought.

2) During the 60s humans made a huge progress in developing our civilization, like building spaceships, and explore space and ocean. At that time James Cameron became assured that there are a lot of secret worlds not only in space, but in this planet also, like fascinating alien-like creatures beneath the ocean, and there is no limit to imagination. I am really happy that I am living in the time of modern technologies, where you can freely access to information and learn a lot.

3) Diving and drawing were the most important things for James Cameron when he was young, because he likes the feel of discovery and he could paint whatever he imagine. He was fond of diving also because of the underwater life, unusual creatures.

4) CG and ILM are introdused in that films so they are really good. 

5) James Cameron is fond of these two films. He shot  Thi Titanic because he wanted to dive and see this real sunk ship. To my mind, he likes to imagine more, and after that find some facts, do explorations. As for me I like to imagine mo6re

6) The first lesson is that your team respect you and this fact is more important than money and success from the tram. And the second lesson is that you should not create any limits for yourself, you should do what you want, what you desire, not to fear do impossible things!
