Answer: A good example is this...
The Palmer Raids were a series of raids conducted in November 1919 and January 1920 during the First Red Scare by the United States Department of Justice under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson to capture and arrest suspected radical leftists, mostly Italian and Eastern European immigrants and especially anarchists and communists, and deport them from the United States. The raids particularly targeted Italian immigrants and Eastern European Jewish immigrants with suspected radical leftist ties, with particular focus on Italian anarchists and immigrant leftist labor activists. The raids and arrests occurred under the leadership of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, with 3,000 arrested. Though 556 foreign citizens were deported, including a number of prominent leftist leaders, Palmer's efforts were largely frustrated by officials at the U.S. Department of Labor, which had authority for deportations and objected to Palmer's methods.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
At the end of the 16th century Italy was the musical centre of Europe. Almost all the innovations that would define the transition to Baroque music originated in northern Italy in the last decades of the century.
However, it was in Florence where the Florentine chamber music developed the monody, important precursor of the opera, which first appeared around 1600.
This style then contrasted with polyphony, in which each part is equally important, and with homophony, in which the accompaniment is not rhythmically independent.
This meaning is used both to designate the style and for individual songs (so that one can speak both of the monody as a whole and of a particular monody). While the term itself is a recent invention of scholars, no seventeenth-century composer called any of his monody works.
The monody developed out of the attempt by the Florentine Camerata to recover the ideas of Ancient Greece about melody and declamation in the theatre of Ancient Greece. In it a solo voice sings a melodic voice, usually with considerable ornamentation, over a rhythmically independent bass line. The bass line was actually a continuous bass.
