TeamD

Hi Team D: Since we are unable to meet Thursday (today) I have divided up the work-load into 5 areas of research: Put your name beside one area and highlight it. As you get it post your research on this site.

1. Religion (include holidays and practices and how they affected culture of the day)

2. Recreation (include leisure activites, sports, music, and fashion) Sylvi   a

3. Social Structure (roles of working class vs. social class) include slavery (LaShawn)

4. Manners and Customs (traditions, mores, ) Steve

5. Role(s) of women (include important women, contributions, advances and challenges that women faced) Jen

=Beth, this should go on a notecard: I think I will ask Steve to request a violin for this one: **ADDED** = = =  __Music and the rise of aesthetics__ Music, rhetoric and representation** The development of the new subject of aesthetics from the middle of the eight­ eenth century onwards and the changes in the status of music associated with the rise of 'Romanticism' form a constellation which has profoundly affected many aspects of modern thought. Perhaps the most striking illustration of this constellation is the quite widespread acceptance, between the later part of the eighteenth and the middle of the nineteenth centuries in Europe, of the Romantic idea that music might be able to say more about philosophy than philosophy can say about music http://www.questia.com/read/105746654?title=The%20Cambridge%20History%20of%20Nineteenth-Century%20Music =ADDED=

Beth, I think the following link should go on this piece of sheet music (so I need a music stand)I don't know why, but now I'm having trouble placing pictures on this page: look for the pictures of the sheet music under "uploads" team D .[|This link allows you to look for music of the period by date, composer, or title] =I COULD NOT FIND WHAT YOU WERE REFERENCING HERE.= I just wanted to provide a link that could be browsed by date, composer, or title if someone was looking for a particular song.

Beth, I think that this audio should go on a picture of Stephen Foster, provided in my upload. [|Click here to hear the Audio Version of Stephen Foster's Beautiful Dreamer: Composed in 1864] =I COULD NOT OPEN THIS FILE.= = =  I think the website is experiencing problems now. I was able to open it the other day.

Beth, I think this should go on another piece of sheet music beside the music stand: image provided in team D upload By the early 19th century, Italian opera had also become popular in the United States. Songs by Italian composers such as [|Gioacchino Rossini], [|Vincenzo Bellini], and [|Gaetano Donizetti] were published as sheet music. In addition, the Italian bel canto style of [|singing]—light, clear, and intimate—was to have an influence on the development of the soft, sentimental type of singing known as crooning that became popular in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=761551614&vv=600 =I COULD NOT FIND THE IMAGE BUT ADDED TO A CANDLE FOR NOW= The image is provided in team D uploads section under an attachment

Beth, I think this should go on the sheet music with the woman's picture on front (the first picture in my upload), and all of the sheet music grouped together. What do you think? Distinctive American styles of popular music emerged in the mid-19th century. [|Minstrel shows]—performances in which white entertainers dressed in blackface and acted out crude parodies of African American behavior—were the dominant form of popular entertainment in the 19th century. The minstrel theater had a strong impact on the development of popular music in the United States. American performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice demonstrated the profitability of minstrel music with his song “Jim Crow” (1829), which was the first American song to become an international hit. Many minstrel songs were successful in sheet music form, and they became a dominant force in the development of 19th-century American popular song. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=761551614&vv=600 =I COULD NOT FIND THE IMAGE BUT ADDED TO A CANDLE FOR NOW= The image is provided in team D uploads section under an attachment
