The Glory of the Lord by Handel has four motifs which are: ‘And the Glory the Glory of the Lord’ – This motif outlines the chord of A major‚ the tonic chord‚ and moves up the last three notes of the scale. This helps to establish the key. The word-setting is syllabic‚ one word to a syllable. ‘Shall be revealed’ – In this motif the second bar is a repeat of the first bar but a tone lower. The word ‘revealed’ is melismatic (several notes to one syllable). ‘For the mouth of the lord hath spoken it’

characters; all really well developed. My one I picked would have to be Bobby Strong. The play is just written for the audience to fall in love with him and we did.

On the other hand‚ grace notes add interesting resonance in River Flows in You. Aside from these‚ the musical score also indicated the finger positioning of the instrumentalist. Its rhythm and base of the song is

Plato was believed to have been a dualist‚ he believed in two worlds: The World of Appearances and The World of Forms. In his opinion‚ the world we currently live in is what he would have called the World of Appearances. Everything we sense‚ feel‚ touch‚ smell‚ etc is ’real’. Yet Plato thought that these sense deceived us. He said as everything in the world is in a state of flux/change‚ it is an unreliable source of what is considered ’real’. Plato believed a lot of what we see is based on opinion

The theory of forms makes a distinction between those objects that
