Read the excerpt from Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

And after I had become somewhat of an authority on virtual reality, but not like a really important one, so I was at the level of people the World Book would badger. They called me up and I wrote an article, and this is Caitlin Kelleher [shows slide of Caitlin wearing virtual reality headset manipulating a 3D world], and there’s an article if you go to your local library where they still have copies of the World Book. Look under V for Virtual Reality, and there it is. And all I have to say is that having been selected to be an author in the World Book Encyclopedia, I now believe that Wikipedia is a perfectly fine source for your information because I know what the quality control is for real encyclopedias. They let me in.

Which statement best describes Pausch's purpose?

He wants his audience to understand that being an authority on a subject is not as rewarding as they may think.
He wants his audience to see how he accomplished one of his childhood goals through an entertaining story.
He wants his audience to understand how to use a virtual reality headset and that he is an authority on the subject.
He wants his audience to be impressed that his article is in World Book, but understand that he wishes it had appeared online.

Activity In this activity, you'll listen to audio clips and describe your observations in brief. Double-click on the audio icons to play the audio clips. Part A Listen to Dance of the Reed Flutes from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. Identify Tchaikovsky's use of articulations and dynamic levels in this piece. Describe your observations in a brief essay.

Answers

Answer:

This is what I put: Instruments used in the Nutcracker are: 3 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons + 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba + 4 timpani, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, tam tam. During the opening bars of the piece the lower string instruments are played by plucking the strings. The flute plays the main melody most of the time. More than an octave pitch range covers during the first part. A short and detached articulation is demonstrated during the first part. There is a major tonality during the first part. The trumpet plays the main melody most of the time in the second part. The melody is conjunct and contains narrow intervals during the second part. An ostinato accompanies the main melody during the second part. In the second part the tonality is minor.

Explanation:

This was the example answer given: Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Reed Pipes starts with sixteen staccato, or detached, notes. I also heard a slur around the 32nd note. The dynamics at the beginning of the piece were piano (or soft) and progressed to mezzo forte (or moderately loud). Later, the music gradually got softer through a decrescendo to pianissimo. Tchaikovsky then used tenuto, (in contrast to the staccato dynamic at the start), in which the notes are played to their full value. This piece ends in mezzo forte. Dance of the Reed Pipes also exhibits rubato or rhythmic flexibility.

The Instruments operated in the Nutcracker are 3 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons + 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba + 4 timpani, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, tam.

What is Tchaikovsky’s Dance?

During the commencement bars of the piece, the more inferior string instruments are recreated by plucking the series. The flute plays the major melody most of the moment. More than an octave slope range was covered during the first part. A short and unattached articulation is demonstrated during the first part. There is a major tonality during the first part. The trumpet plays the main melody most of the time in the double part. The melody is conjunct and includes narrow intervals during the second part. An ostinato attends the main melody during the second part. In the dual part, the tonality is minor.

Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Reed Pipes starts with sixteen staccato, or independent, notes. I also heard a slur around the 32nd note. The dynamics at the beginning of the piece were piano (or soft) and moved to mezzo forte (or moderately loud). Later, the melody gradually got softer via a decrescendo to pianissimo. Tchaikovsky then used tenuto, (in difference from the staccato dynamic at the start), in which the messages are played to their full value. This piece ends in mezzo forte. Dance of the Reed Pipes also displays rubato or rhythmic flexibility.

Answers

Short answer-half note.

In common time the quarter note equals one beat, and there are four quarter notes in a measure.

Songs in alla breve contain two beats per measure, with the half note equaling one beat. That means that the time signature of the alla breve is represented as 2/2 (not 4/4 as common time is).

"Saintlike. You see...I'm HOLEY, Fred, geddit?”

Explanation:

In the seventh Harry Potter book, The Order of the Phoenix and Harry’s friends wanted to get Harry out of the Privet Drive during the Battle of Seven Potters. George Weasley, one of the twins, was injured by Severus Snape and his ear was cut off.

When asked how he was, he said one of his more memorable jokes – that he is feeling “Saintlike”.

His brother, Fred, did not understand at first, and George explained:

"Saintlike. You see...I'm HOLEY, Fred, geddit?”

He meant he had a hole on the side of his head as his ear was missing. As holey is pronounced similarly to holy, he made a pun about feeling like the Saint.

100 pts Think about something you have learned by viewing a video. It may be a part of history, the steps to completing a task, or maybe you got a close view of a city or town that you may not have otherwise been able to see. Think about the possible intention of the filmmaker and how the video was created. Tell what medium was used to deliver the video and explain how the video may have been recorded, such as a camcorder, and why you drew those conclusions. Then, give an explanation of your impression of the filmmaker’s goal in creating the video. It may have been filmed for educational purposes, for advertising, or even just for fun. Also include any pertinent details about the class of video, like whether it was a documentary or an instructional video and any special techniques that may have been used.

Answers

Answer:

A video that I think of is one of the instruction videos that it gives me to watch. It helped me to learn some things about the arts of movie-making. The person that made the video was trying to help me understand some of the basic things that movie makers put into their films that make them look realistic. It was most likely recorded on a camcorder, or a portable device for recording audio and video, like a phone or small camera. I think that because the camera quality is not the best, like in movies, but it is good enough for me to watch and understand what he is saying. This video was for educational purposes. He explained everything thoroughly, in order for me to learn and understand the message he was trying to get across. He used pictures also, to help me more. It was a very instructional video.
