Handel’s Messiah George Fredrick Handel is a renowned composer of most of the Italian operas, however, in 1730, there was a turn of events, and Handel focused on the composition of the famous oratorio (Messiah Stapert 10). The most exciting part of the classical Messiah is that it is a representation of the fulfilment of the redemption of through Messiah, the redeemer. For this paper, it is essential to examine the use of aria and an instrumental number from the Messiah, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion and make comparison with the ” When I am laid in earth” by Purcell. To begin with, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion” is virtuoso coloratura aria particularly of the soprano which expresses great joy as exemplified in the opera. Aria, as used in the piece, is a simple tune for an instrument that makes the song enjoyable. For instance, the vocal line begins with a rising fourth followed by a rest accent “Rejoice”. Most important here is that further repeats of this word rendered endless coloraturas. Handel also composed “Rejoice greatly, O…

Essay Proposal and Annotated Bibligraphy; Phenomenology in Schizophrenia For my essay, I would like to examine the phenomenology of schizophrenia. Phenomenology is the study of the development of human consciousness and self-awareness. Phenomenology observes unusual people or events as they appear without any further research or explanation. The study is from the first-person point of view meaning that the investigator carries out the study from their own experiences and from living through that experience. Schizophrenia, on the other hand, is a major mental disorder of unknown cause that causes one to misunderstand things and imagine unreal things. It creates a separation between the thought processes and the emotions causing a distortion of reality accompanied by delusions and hallucinations. Schizophrenia also causes fragmentation of the personality, motor disturbances, bizarre behavior, often with no loss of essential intellectual functions. I choose the phenomenology of schizophrenia because it will provide a deeper insight into probable causes of schizophrenia. At present, there are no known causes of the mental disorder, but a more in-depth observation of the development of human consciousness and self-awareness is…

AUTISM AND VIOLENCE              Autism is a condition whereby an individual has difficulties or dislikes social interaction or communication. There is some similarity between being autistic and being an introvert. Autistic individuals are identified by clinging to some form of behaviour which happens repetitively. Since Autism begins at childhood, it is not readily noticeable especially for unobservant parents and individuals with the condition will be mistaken as being disabled or superior. A question I have about Autism is whether there is a direct association between an individual having the condition and being violent. I have learnt that this is a complex issue because as much as several autistic people are involved in criminal activities, but there is no concrete evidence to prove that the cause for crime involvement is due to autism. Experts tend to agree that violence cases by autistic individuals are in many cases extreme but disagree that there is a direct relationship between Autism and increased violence. Determining the relationship between autism and violence is a complex issue. To date, there is very little available data…
