Assignment 3 - Blog:Renaissance Band

                                    The E.E. Band 

The three instruments that I chose for my band is the harp the Gemshorn and the Dulcimer. What I like about all three instruments are the Rhythm, Tempo and Melody. To me the harp and dulcimer sound a little alike except the harp has a more rough sound but still smooth and the dulcimer is really smooth. I think they would sound great together. The gemshorn sound like a flute and has a nice melody to it so it would give a nice pitch sound to the other two instruments. On the harp each string of the harp is attached to a wooden peg or metal pin. Strings are tuned by adjusting these pegs or pins. The harp belongs to the string family. The gemshorn shape is determined naturally because it is made from the horn of a chamois or ox. The gemshorn belongs to the woodwind family. The dulcimer often had one or two bridges over which the strings crossed providing the opportunity for more pitches. The hammers are held between the index and middle fingers. I decided to select these three instruments because they have a nice melody, tempo, rhythm harmony and they could be played to make a song for a child to fall asleep to.

       Assignment 3 - Blog: Response to the Play
      
    I am going to see a play about two people who are in love but cannot be together because there families dislike each other. I it’s a terrible tragedy. I went and saw Romeo and Juliet the one written by William Shakespeare. I was so confused about the play. I thought how beautiful women can fall in love with a man that she has only known for a few days.
  The play house that we were in was very niece. We sat on benches and it was much crowed. Play is about young women who meets a young men and fall in love with each other but cannot be together because their families are enemies. Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague. They must never be seen together or they can be killed.
  I would not want to be with boy because I am a lady and ladies do not be with other men and I want to faithful to my husband. But Juliet must marry another men named Paris,because he is a capulet and that is what her father wants. Instead Juliet goes behind her father’s back and marries Romeo. When the day came for her to marry Paris Juliet drank a poison that would make her sleep and seem as if she were dead. When Romeo got the news of her death he went to see her;not knowing she was dead he drank a poison and he died, Juliet did not want to live without him so she drank the same poison that Romeo did and she took her life. It was so sad to see them die. But I would not want to die for someone that I have not know for very long.

In the renaissance dance I did not really like either of the dances but I can relate to the country dace because in the Hispanic cultural when a young women has her 15th birthday or when there’s a wedding usually after you eat you get up and dace and have a good time. If there is any party then you learn a new dace and everyone else will start doing it. I just do not have and special or traditions that I do in my family
