Answer:

American classical music is the entwining of classical music and African folk songs / music. Gershwin, a super important composer, is kind of like the defining bridge between Classical music and Jazz. He had spent around two years, living in an African American community, where he was able to use rhythms and harmonies in African music and use it in his own compositions. Think like his piano preludes or Rhapsody in Blue. During WWII, Hitler had an infatuation over 'tonal' and 'German' sounding music. Specifically, Beethoven and Wagner. Jazz music was banned as it was seen as a lower form of music. Due to this, composers at the time, strove away from writing music that would sound like Wagner's or Beethoven's. Composers started to use 'weird' harmonies. Things that would eventually become the sound of the 'modern' period in classical music.

Jazz. <em>Jazz.</em>

The surge of Jazz music was emphasised in America during the twentieth century.

One reason is that during WWII, Hitler had an infatuation over 'tonal' and 'German' sounding music. Specifically, Beethoven and Wagner. Jazz music was banned as it was seen as a lower form of music.

Due to this, composers at the time, strove away from writing music that would sound like Wagner's or Beethoven's. I'm not really sure how to word it, but those two composers had this particular sound.

Anyway, composers started to use 'weird' harmonies. Things that would eventually become the sound of the 'modern' period in classical music.

Another factor involved in advancing American classical music is the entwining of classical music and African folk songs / music. Gershwin, a super important composer, is kind of like the defining bridge between Classical music and Jazz. He had spent around two years, living in an African American community, where he was able to use rhythms and harmonies in African music and use it in his own compositions. Think like his piano preludes or Rhapsody in Blue.

Hope that helps

hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

In film, people are able to portray people and events to fit the needs of the audience and the intended purpose of the film. However, it is also noted how certain people/communities may be biased for their perspective of said film. According to a study by Martin Novelli, the depictions of the Vietnamese in American war films is often negatively stereotyped. Vietnamese civilians are usually shown as passive victims, prostitutes, or conniving with the enemy, while North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong guerilla fighters are frequently drawn as cruel torturers or effeminate cowards, and the ARVN are described as incompetent. In addition, many relevant facts concerning the conception of the war, or America’s subsequent acknowledgement of how the war was a mistake were not properly addressed. Instead, filmmakers focused more on the themes of war compared with educating the populace with hard facts.

In Walsh and Louvre's opinion, "the ideology of such films speaks of several basic and widespread public attitudes towards the war".

Donna Alvah reported that students writing an introductory essay on the war often reflect the perception shared by most Americans born after the war. According to Alvah, students' conceptions of the Vietnam War are "largely gleaned from movies, documentaries, music, and .. relatives who served in the war, or who in any case hold strong opinions about it."
