Упр.64 Unit 1 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: 64. Did you know that…! • The symphony orchestra in the 19th century could consist of 80 or more instruments performing for a conductor in a concert hall. Generally, the 19th-century structure of the orchestra hasn’t changed. • The oldest musical instrument is, probably, human voice. But the instruments as such are very old, too. Archaeologists have discovered musical instruments dating back almost 30,000 years. Stringed and wind instruments are mentioned in the Bible, and they played an important role in the ceremonies and entertainments of the Greek and Roman civilizations. • Beethoven originally meant his Eroica symphony to be a homage (an evidence of respect and admiration) to Napoleon. This was quite a romantic act because Napoleon for a time being was regarded as the champion of freedom. Later the composer decided to delete Napoleon’s name when the French general declared himself emperor. • In Japanese music there are two distinct traditions: folk music and art music. Japanese folk song is associated with work, dance, ceremony or feasts. It is sung with or without the accompaniment of hand-clapping or instruments. Art music is associated with the court, and with the religious ceremonies. It is performed by a male choir with instrumental accompaniment. Project Work A.

B. Present this information to the class.

For the project work, I prepared a short presentation about Ludwig van Beethoven.

Beethoven was a great German composer and pianist. He was born in 1770 and became one of the most famous composers in the history of music. His works include symphonies, sonatas, concertos and chamber music.

One of his most famous compositions is the Eroica Symphony. At first, Beethoven wanted to dedicate it to Napoleon, because he admired him as a champion of freedom. But later he removed Napoleon’s name when Napoleon declared himself emperor.

Beethoven’s music is powerful, emotional and full of energy. Even when he lost his hearing, he continued to compose. This makes him an example of great talent and strong will.

Beethoven’s music is still performed all over the world today. He remains one of the greatest composers of all time.
