BAROKK 1. Renessansi ja barokiaja kunsti olemuslik erinevus (õpik lk 86) Renessansiajastu kunst ja muusika otsisid harmooniat ja tasakaalu, barokkiajastu tõi selle asemele pingestatud dünaamika, efektse teatraalsuse ja sageli äärmusliku tundelisuse. 2. Monoodia- ühehäälne meloodia 3. Polüfoonia- mitmehäälsus muusikas, kus kõik hääled on võrdse tähtsusega 4. Aaria- soololaul või duett, mida esitati lauto või pilliansambli saatel 5. Retsitatiiv- kõnelaul 6. Avamäng- lavateost või vok- sümfoonilist teost sissejuhatav orkestriteos; ka iseseisev orkestriteos 7. Mis on ooper? Millistest osadest koosneb?

N.Pevsner "Kaasaegse disaini pioneerid. William Morrisest Walter Gropiuseni" Resümee 2015 2 Nikolaus Pevsneri 1936 aastal esmakordselt ilmunud raamat uurib tolle aja modernistliku arhitektuuri ja tema mõju. Pevsner kirjutab, et 19. Sajandi arhitektuuritehnoloogia tugines raua kasutamisele. Esimene rauakasutus arhitektuuris on Alvobacas Portugalis, kus malmist sambad toetavad korstnat. Edasi hakati rauda laialdaselt kasutama Prantsusmaal, Itaalias, Venemaal, Inglismaal. Rauda kasutati praktilistel, mitte esteetilistel põhjustel. Sama kehtib ka raudsõrestike kasutamise kohta vabrikutes. Williamm Strutt ehitas koos äripartner Richard Arkwrightiga kuuekorruselise vabriku, milles kasutasid katmata raudposte. See ehitis enam ei eksisteeri, kuid olemas on viiekorruseline tellisseintega malmpostide ja ...

London is the capital of both England and the United Kingdom, and the largest metropolitan area in the European Union. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its foundation, London has been part of many movements and phenomena throughout history, including the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival.The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis that has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly. London is one of the world's most important business, financial and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts contri...
Mis on ooper? Ooper on muusikaline lavateos, kus tegelased oma mõtteid ja tundeid väljendavad lauldes sümfooniaorkestri saatel. Seal on ühendatud muusika (lauljad, orkestrandid), draama (näitlemine, kirjanduslik süzee), kujutav kunst (dekoratsioonid, kostüümid). Kirjandusliku teose põhjal kirjutab libretist libreto ehk ooperi sisu, millele helilooja teeb muusika. Ooperis lauldakse ja kasutatakse kõnelähedast laulu ehk RETSITATIIVI. Ooperis laulavad solistid (AARIA), ansamblid ja koorid. Ansamblite nimetused tulenevad kooslauljate arvust. (duett 2, tertsett 3, kvartett 4, kvintett 5, sekstett 6 inimest. Sekstetid ja neist suuremad ansamblid esinevad ooperis vaid erandjuhtudel.) Kooriliigid on ooperites samad, mis kontsertkooride puhul. Neid liigitatakse mees-, nais-, laste- ja segakoorideks. Etendus koosneb: vaatused stseenid pildid. Ooperis võivad esineda ka balletinumbrid, samuti orkestrivahemängud. Ooperi tegevusele eelneb tavalisel...
Tartu Kutsehariduskeskus Majutusteeninduse eriala Anu Tali foto Jouni Haralaa/Finlandia Records ANU TALI Referaat Koostaja: Õppegrupp: Tartu 2011 Anu Tali foto Chris Dunlop/Warner Classics Dirigent Anu Tali on muusikamaailmas omamoodi fenomen. Väike ja tubli, kes teab, mis on selle ameti paradiis ja põrgu. Meie näeme ainult glamuurset Anu Tali orkestrit juhatamas, aga higist, verest ja pisaratest, mida selle karmi ameti juures tagatubades valatakse, pole enamikel aimu. Anu Tali on rahvusvaheliselt tuntud ja tunnustatud dirigent, kes teeb ja toob Eestile vaid au. Muusika juurde tuli Anu Tali (sündinud 18.06.1972) klaverimängu kaudu Nõmme Lastemuusikakoolis, kus ta õpetajaks oli Maire Oidekivi. Et "ilma muusikata ei saa", selgus pärast kaheksanda klassi "viielist" lõpetamist. K...

Eesti teatrid kaotasid 1990. aastate algul suure osa oma publikust, kuid Brooki kirjeldatud piirjuhuni asi siiski ei läinud. Suuremad teatrid olid ja on endiselt võimsad riikliku...
