It's shown at the end of the greatest showman
Who was P.T Barnum? Was he that circus dude?
And I really like it Yeah he is the guy who started the circus and got super famous
gotcha Oh! I love that movie. I really like the songs, and the way it emphasizes the importance of family values over monetary gain
It is honestly so good We should watch it sometime
agreed i don't think you got my joke
It has been a hot minute since I jammed out to it
though same You should come over to our dorm, we have a 4k ultra HD smart Television that can play video of the utmost quality
Wow really?
come on in
Dude that's so cool
and a projector im basically the coolest
It's definitely better than my non 49 in 4k ultra HD smart tv
My dorm is lit!
We should he friends haha Be*
lets do it no pears Yeah, those 48 inch 3k medium Definition Televisions don't really cut it
We could even go running in the pouring rain sometime and it'll be lit So true though
That would be sweet, except I hate getting wet running in the rain sounds romantic though I like listening to rain, though but ill have to pass with the running
Yesterday I went running to the temple and it was really fun
Did you go into the temple after?
I was wearing short shorts so I couldn't really Sadly
Good. That would have been sacrilegious
And they were neon green zebra print so it wasn't really appropriate
True. There are very few appropriate times to wear that type of garment
So true Let's see what's something else we could talk about....
Personally, I think that attending the temple takes a certain amount of respect in terms of the way you dress I'm going to music class right now, we could talk about that
Wait what! I'm going to music class right now too!!!!
Which one? I'm in music 101
That is really strange... We might be in the same class
Who's your professor? mine is Luke Howard
Mine too! What do you think of him as a professor?
No way!! I love him as a professor. He is very funny and makes the material easy to understand He is great I like him
And you can't forget about his accent haha
I love his accent. It is very soothing to listen to Do you think he's a citizen?
I think so Mainly because he brings his two daughters to class Which leads me to believe that he might be
Because he said that he doesn't consider "The Star Spangled Banner" his national anthe anthem
That is true
That would seem to imply he doesn't consider himself american Which is a shame, because we'd be happy to have him
But that could just be because he lived most of his life somewhere else.
That's true. It's always been my opinion that immigrants should do their best to assimilate into the culture they join. I mean, they chose to leave their homeland; presumably because wherever they're going is better
But I don't know what it would be like to immigrate somewhere and how people think about that
True. I don't really know where I'd go. Maybe Western Europe? It's pretty developed over there
Yeah I don't know where I would go either I would probably go somewhere that I'm interested in the language That is pretty developed too Maybe Tokyo
Emigrating would be different than anything else. It would even be strange compared to going on a foreign mission. When you go on a mission, you know it's temporary, and don't really have to choose where to go You like Japan? I kinda like that country Their culture weirds me out, though They are just too organized for my taste
Yeah, I like Japan. But I don't think I would be prepared to live there until I live there for a little while because the culture is starkly different that america
Yeah. I saw a documentary about their prison system. It has a 95% conviction rate seems a little suspicious to me
That's crazy
Hold up class is startin starting
Do you want to keep talking or should we pause
Let's just keep talking. It seems that this could be interesting He's talking about women in baroque music There were to major female composers: Casalani and strazzi
I thought it was interesting in the reading how female singers were viewed
People are unsure if women write music differently than men; they just haven't been studied I didn't do the reading Hold up, he's making a distinction between the stage and the church They weren't allowed to sing in church, and any woman who took part in a staged production was considered little better than a prostitue prostitute Women were generally in a bad spot at the time
Yeah which is sad but I guess it's just kinda how it was
I'm glad it is better now
Me too for sure
Apparently all the baroque operas were set in classical time periods, so they contained a significant moral component Cozzolani was a nun in a convent. At the time, the only acceptable way for females to sing was in the convent
I think how distracted he gets is really funny How he briefly mentions something and then we end up going on a YouTube a Tangent
I liked the video we just watched The magnificat was a psalm to the virgin mary It was a deeply spiritual experience for those who sang it There were changes in texture during the Baroque period: they mixed choirs, numbers of singers and who has the melody They also emphasized the principle of contrast: they would contrast styles, textures, and keys We are looking at the technique of word-painting right now. " "anima" meant soul, but it also meant "that which gives animation" We are listening to an example right now from the magnificat
Did you know a lot about music before this class?
Yeah. I've studied piano for the past 11 years, so I have a pretty good understanding of musical ideas and concepts
That's super cool!
Thanks. It was pretty rough sometimes. My piano teachers were- let's say- harsh.  Lessons tended to get intense But I got good, So I guess it was worth it
Yeah I didn't really study any instruments long enough to experience any of that Which is good but I also am not proficient at any instruments for the most part
Oh. Honestly, I enjoyed it. It helped me focus and learn how to develop skills to a  high degree Hold up "Aria" is the italian term for Air It denoted a structured song form, as used in operas Its competitor was the recitative, where the plot occurs. The Aria was a song out of time, where  individual actors are singing on their won own ouside of \ time They were considered more beautiful than the recitative, because the composer had more freedom of rhythmic expression Also, they had a regular meter. Recitative was a nonmetric
It's interesting how restrictive some styles are compared to others
Da capo arias would end the same way they started. They would start with one section, move to a contrasting section, then shift back to a similar section to the beginning There was a lot of restriction in classical music Cantatas were one-sided operas where there  were only a few arias and a little recitative. Also, unlike operas, cantatas were gender-specific
His comment about how the tenors always get the soprano haha
When females were not allowed to see, Castrata were created to play the high female role. They were castrated men who could still sing with a child's voice Sometimes, females were assigned to sing a male role.  They would be have the voice range of a male child, but the control of a fully trained operatic singer it was called a "pants role"
How they assigned roles was really interesting for operas and plays But it makes sense For the most part
Hold up, he's showing us an excerpt from Handel. I don't really like handel's piano music because it is too light and boring Once, I had to learn a  8 page concerto by Handel. It took six months, and I hated every minute ofo it. But When an angry russian lady tells you to do something, you do it.
I feel like that character shouldn't have as high of a voice as they did That does not sound like a fun time haha
True. It seemed a tad unnatural, but it was a better alternative than listening to a 14 year old boy try to sing. His voice would crack all over the place
My voice definetly would have That would have turned it from a Opera to a comedy
The main convention of opera is that the characters don't know that they are singing. It is integral to the story that the characters are unaware of their ridiculousness It relates to the literary concept of suspension of disbelief, where  a reader or observer needs to suspend their concept of reality in order to enjoy the meaning of the work How far ahead are we I just checked, 50,000 and losing fast
The person in second is going for it
Shoot
We were 100k
He's just gonna send it Send it faster come on now Lets talk about something collin would like This is intense What do you think is going to happen in general conference? This is thrilling
I mean we are both in class
This is fantastic I am very excited for general conference I think that we will switch to two hour church, because it will help be efficient The big announcement may be a game changer for us It matches the current trend of simplification
Are you excited for changes? Or the talks?
Honestly, more the changes Even though there may be no chance of two hour church We will see I guess Talks come every year, but changes only come occasionally
I'm wondering if there is going to be an audible Gasp multiple times
I hope so. That would be super cool, as long as it wasn't something terribel terribel terrible
I think it's really funny when that happens True
I bet that he will open up China, which means that we are only a few countries away from the end of the world
Haha
I'm getting my welcome home gift for Jesus ready
Love that
I hope he likes caramels
60 pounds of chocolate caramels?
less, my roommates and I have eaten or given away about half
Sad days
probably about 25 pounds. We'll probably get more on Sunday, though
Maybe you'll have to make some
Making Caramel is fun
I agree Especially when you're putting it on something really good
It can be a little dangerous at times, though. Dealing with that much melted sugar is a feat
Or just eating soft caramels I really want to try sugar blowing Random thing but yeah I think it would be fun
My younger brother, Desto, burned his fingertips when he put his hands on a tray of freshly-made toffee that was set out to cool. It was terrible. His fingertips turned black,
That isn't good When little kids get burned is never is fun My nephew got burned really bad from a stove a few months ago
and Child Protective Services were mad at me for giving him first aid because I didn't ask my parents for instructions first
That's lame but that they wanted you to ask for instructions
It irritated me a little, because I knew what I was doing and my actions likely prevented him from further damage, even scarring.
Yeah, I would have been upset too. I definetly know just as much as my parents when it comes to reading Burns
another thing are you excited for the new super smash brothers ultimate? The new characters are very well made and I am ecstatic to try them out I rinsed the hot sugar off his hands, then placed his fingers in an ice-water bath, which helped them heal very quickly
Treating*
I used to play Super smash brothers melee a lot and then brawl once it came out
I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THE NEW SMASH BROTHER
I think It was really just a legal issue. I was a minor at the time, and didn't tell my parents until they got home because I didn't think it was a big deal I haven't play for all of high school however SAME! There are just so many new characters and they all look so fun I just can not wait to try them out
I have it on the Nintendo 64 and the Wii at my home and I used to play it all the time
I love that game. I played it almost every day during lunch my senior year of high school. I got pretty good I am also very excited to play Breath of the WIld Yeah it is really fun to play against your friends
It's so fun when your friends get hyped too And everyone starts screaming
At home, all I could play was brawl, because I had a Wii. Brawl is considered the worst of all the super smash brothers games. It was still pretty fun though Breath of the Wild looks like a great game and from what I hear from my brother it looks super fun
Haha
yeah and both of you are about to die and it comes down to the wire
Yeah for sure But yeah breath of the wild is a really fun game and it's super aesthetically pleasing
Yeah i saw some videos of it and it looks like a very relaxing game with some great exciting parts as well especially because you can do whatever you want i hear
Oh yeah, it is definitely a time consumer though
that's all right I have plenty of time I feel like i have gotten much better at managing my time now that college has started anyways I think the independence is really helping my grow to be more responsible
Yeah there is a limited number of things you can do but there is so many options and ways to do things that there is just so much flexibility
not that i wasn't very responsible beforehand
Yeah I understnad
I am just super hyped to play all of the new nintendo games I havent really tried any of the new ones
My friend had some for the Wii u that we're really fub But I didn't really ever put much time into them Fyi my phone is gonna die soon So if I stop responding that's why
alright I have to leave for math class soon as well and my phone isnt as charged as i would like it to be so i may have to stop
Ok Im gonna end the chat since my phones at 2 percent. Peace good luck
