There аre mаny fаctоrs that _______________ a persоn tо be morbidly obese.
I – Survey (Assessing breаdth аnd sequencing) Cite the significаnt wоrks frоm the 2nd half оf the 20th century until our own time, considering all forms and genres from a cappella miniatures to large works for chorus and orchestra. Attempt to survey important styles, trends, schools, innovations, traditions and important composers warranting recognition. Each citation should be given enough information to qualify its selection. (Do not list all the choral works of each composer.) Give attention to living composers, noting the works that represent important contributions to the choral arts. II – Compare (Assessing detail and awareness of the works’ significance) Write extended essays on each of the following three topics, citing specific musical examples to illustrate your topics. Give attention to each topic in the broadest aspects, surveying the panorama of output and diversity of styles if applicable. Be specific in the musical works that you select by identifying salient characteristics of compositional procedures and features that are unique and of value for each work. Motet settings from the late 14th century into the early 17th century. Secular music of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Mass settings of the 18th and 19th nineteenth centuries. Please do not include the requiem mass. III – Philosophy and Society (Assessing comprehensive and analytical skills) Choose three major works, one work from the following list of four composers: Brahms, Britten, Stravinsky, and Adams. Compare the three works, citing composers’ treatment and source of texts, instruments, forms, compositional procedures, innovative features, and unique qualities. Consider how these composers and compositions reflect innovation and include supporting examples. IV – Short Answer (Assessing breadth and significant terms, trends, and artists) In a paragraph for each topic, discuss each of the following: Haydn, Creation (1798) Parody Mass Handel’s English Oratorios Selva Morale e Spirituale (SWV 252-288) R. Nathaniel Dett, The Ordering of Moses The Florentine Camerata Charpentier, Messe du Minuit, H. 9, Noëls Cecilian Movement Methods of teaching harmony in a choral rehearsal Methods of teaching rhythm in a choral rehearsal
Almоst 70 milliоn аnimаls аre sacrificed annually in research labs acrоss the nation. Among these are about half a million dogs, nearly 200,000 cats, and over 30,000 chimps plus millions of mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, and even birds. Clearly, many of these helpless creatures are being subjected to cruel procedures. Is there truly a need to expose them to suffering and, in many cases, lingering deaths? Researchers have generally insisted that animals provide for reliable testing on drugs and cosmetics before they are sold to the public. Doctors agree that cures for many e of diseases have resulted from such experimentation. They point to the discovery of the polio vaccine, for instance, an important breakthrough that has certainly saved thousands of lives. The polio vaccine was made possible through the use of animal testing. Also, organ transplants have been tried out on animals before the procedures could be designed for humans. Experiments on dead animals are useful in training veterinary students, while those done on living animals are supposed to determine the safety and effectiveness of medications. Members of the research community, physicians, and drug makers have simply assumed the right to use animals any way they choose for the supposed benefit of mankind. Science has recently discovered that animals communicate, think, and feel. Some species even demonstrate altruism within their social groups. For instance, they share food and provide aid to ailing members of their communities. A few chimps and gorillas have learned simple sign language. Dolphins, whales, and some mammals have demonstrated a surprising degree of intelligence. Animal rights groups have raised the level of public awareness about endangered species. As a result, laws have been passed to protect some species that are on the verge of extinction. But no laws exist to restrict the kinds of experiments for which animals can be used. Such experiments may include surgery without painkillers, exposure to radiation, toxic chemicals, and even prolonged periods of starvation. For these reasons, animal rights activists have stepped up the fight to protect innocent animals. What have been the results of many of these tortuous experiments? Researchers are becoming more dubious about such procedures due to unreliable results that frequently differ from one lab to another and from one study to another. Simple organisms and egg embryos, as well as human cells that have been grown in test tubes, can and must be used as alternates for using and abusing living animals. As used in the third paragraph, the word altruism means
