Answer:
When Zeus, king of the gods, revealed himself to his mortal lover Semele, she was at once incinerated by his divine radiance. Zeus, however, was able to rescue their unborn child by sewing him within his own thigh. Following the birth of the child, Zeus ordered Hermes, his messenger, to hide the newborn from his jealous wife Hera, who sought to destroy any remnants of the affair, including the newborn. Hermes swiftly took the baby to remote mountains for hiding, where nymphs raised the child. Under their care, the infant Dionysos grew to maturity and became the god of wine, revelry, and theater. Hermes and the Infant Dionysos depicts the messenger before he delivered the infant to the mountain nymphs.
German excavators discovered the statue in 1877 in the Temple of Hera at Olympia. Pausanias, a second century A.D. historian, describes his tour of this temple in which he saw such a statue said to be by Praxiteles. Today, art historians and archaeologists disagree over whether this is an original work by Praxiteles, or one by an imitator of his style.
Trained in the Attic school of sculpture, Praxiteles was one of the most popular artists of the Late Classical period. Marble was his preferred material. In this sculpture, Hermes teases Dionysos by dangling grapes out of his reach. Hermes leans against a tree stump, over which his cloak is draped, which provides support for his arm. His weight rests on his right leg while his left foot lightly touches the ground. The off-balanced stance of the god’s body forms a new pose known as the "Praxitelean curve." His body bends sinuously, creating an emphatic S-shaped pose. The musculature is defined, but softer than previous works, giving the statue a sensuous and graceful appearance. Praxiteles advocated a new canon of proportions in which humans were slenderer, softer, and taller than the Polykleitan canon.
Known as the "sculptor of grace," Praxiteles was well known for his gentle and pleasing creations. While other sculptors of his time, such as Skopas, were creating passionate and violent works, Praxiteles fashioned intimate and playful compositions. In Hermes and the Infant Dionysos, Praxiteles depicts Olympian gods who are not wrathful and distant, but real and humanlike. Dionysos, for example, is not a miniature human but appears as a human baby with chubby hands and round head. Hermes appears gentle and smiling, a protector of youth as he cradles the vulnerable Dionysos.
Praxiteles achieved a naturalism and intimacy not seen before in sculpture. His style moved away from the hard, scientific vision of the earlier Classical Period. Unbalanced poses, sensuous forms, playful subjects, and use of emotion contrast with the previous period’s idealized and stoic works. The innovations evident in Hermes and the Infant Dionysos define the Late Classical Period and signify changes fully realized in the Hellenistic Period.

by: Understanding Music
QUESTIONS:
1. What is sound? What are the three main properties of sound?
2. What is music? How does it relate to sound?
3. Did you already know anything mentioned in this video? If so, what?
4. What is something new you learned or found interesting in this video?
5. Do you think there is a difference between hearing and listening?
6. How will a deeper understanding of sound help with listening in music class as we move into our next unit on music history and then into music composition?
Answer:
Sound is an acoustic wave through a medium of gas, liquid, and solids.
Music and noise are both mixtures of sound waves of different frequencies. A sound wave coming out of a musical instrument, loudspeaker, or someone's mouth pushes the air forward and backward as the sound propagates outward. This has the effect of squeezing and pulling on the air, changing its pressure only slightly.
you have to answer 3, 4, 5, and 6 on your own. Those are personal questions.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Sound is created when something vibrates and sends waves of energy in to your ear. Main properties are speed, frequency, and loudness.
2.Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. You use sound to make music.
3. Yes, I knew what sound and music is.
4. Everything else.
5. Hearing has more to do with the physiological act of hearing sounds than it does with making sense and connecting with the person who's talking to you. Listening, on the other hand, means “to pay attention to sound; to hear something with thoughtful attention; and to give consideration.”
6. Help you understanding the meaning & purpose of music.

By looking at the title of the painting, his manner of dress, and the objects that
surround him, what can you infer or figure out about Georg Gisze?
Answer:
he is about to start a fire with the mach he got in his hand
Explanation:
Answer:
From the objects shown in this portrait it is evident that the sitter was anxious that not only his likeness but also something of his way of life should be presented. A Latin couplet above the merchant's head intimates how faithfully the artist has rendered every aspect of the man : `What you see here, this picture, shows Georg's features and figure such is his eye in real life, such is the shape of his cheeks.' Yet it is clear from the very form this couplet takes that the picture is meant to convey more than outward appearances and to underline the humanist milieu in which the merchant wished to be seen. The same mood is implicit in a Latin motto inscribed on the rear wall immediately beside a pair of scales: `Nulla sine merore voluptas' (`No joy without sorrow').
The merchant is depicted standing in his workroom, behind a table covered with a richly embroidered cloth. Among the many objects on the table and the wall which illustrate his trade, the Venetian-glass vase, containing carnations and other flowers, clearly has a special significance; in the medieval language of symbols the carnation was a sign of betrothal.
From the shelf in the top right-hand corner several keys, signet-rings and a spherical container are hanging, the latter presumably containing string. On the table is a pewter writing-stand with goose-feathers, ink, sand, wax disks and sealing-wax. Beside it are a pair of scissors, a signet-ring and a seal. Near the table's edge, precisely placed in the centre foreground, stands a small table-clock which, together with the fragile glass vase and the perishable flowers, is a reminder of the passage of time, as was the hour-glass in earlier pictures.
The name Georg Gisze occurs frequently and appears several times in various styles of handwriting on the documents attached to the wall. From the letter in the merchant's hand one gathers that he has been corresponding with a brother in Germany. The subject of the portrait, the son of an alderman, was born in Danzig in 1497. Holbein painted him in London in 1532. Three years later Gisze married in Danzig, and we may assume that the portrait was commissioned in anticipation of the marriage.
The painting was in the Duke of Orleans' collection in 1727 and appeared in the inventories until 1788. The collection was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1793 and put up for auction. The Swiss publisher and copper-engraver Christian von Mechel acquired the picture and tried in vain to persuade the Basel Library to buy it. For about twenty years it remained in Switzerland without finding a purchaser, until Edward Solly acquired it at a very low price. In 1821 it found its way into the Berlin Museum with the rest of the Solly Collection.

Half steps between scale
degrees 3 and 4; 7 and 8
Ascending
melodic minor
?
Half steps between scale
degrees 2 and 3; 5 and 6
Harmonic minor
?
Half steps between scale
degrees 2 and 3; 5 and 6; 7
and 8
Natural Minor
?
Half steps between scale
degrees 2 and 3; 7 and 8
Answer:
1.The melodic minor scale has half steps between scale degrees 2-3, and 7-8 when ascending. The melodic minor scale reverts to natural minor when descending. The major scale has half steps between scale degrees 3-4, and 7-8.
2.Harmonic minor scale -- a form of a minor scale with half steps between 2-3, 5-6 and 7-8. Its unique interval is that between 6-7 -- the whole plus half step (or augmented 2nd). It can be thought of as a natural minor scale with a raised 7 scale degree.
3.The harmonic minor scale has half steps between scale degrees 2-3, 5-6, and 7-8. (It is the only one of the three minor scales with a step and a half between scale degrees 6-7.) The melodic minor scale has half steps between scale degrees 2-3, and 7-8 when ascending.
Match these scales with where their half steps fall are:
Major: Half steps between scale degrees 3 and 4;7 and 8
Natural minor: Half steps between scale degrees 2and 3; 5 and 6
Harmonic minor: Half steps between scale degrees 2 and 3; 5 and 6; 7 and 8
Ascending melodic minor: Half steps between scale degrees 2 and 3; 7 and 8
What is Harmonic minor?
The seventh scale degrees are raised in the harmonic minor scale. A natural minor scale has a flat seventh, sometimes known as a minor seventh, whereas a harmonic minor octave has a natural seventh. To notice the difference, compare the two scales. Raise the eighth note by a half step to transform any naturally minor scale to harmonic minor.
When ascending, the melodic minor scale has quarter beats between scale degrees 2-3 and 7-8. Harmonic minor scale—a minor scale having half steps of 2-3, 5-6, and 7-8. Half steps separate scales degrees 2-3, 5-6, and 7-8 in the harmonic minor scale.
