Part 1: Pain in the Paint
No.1 - Death and Funeral of Cain ; David Alfaro Siqueiros ( 1896 - 1974) Social Realism
David Alfaro Siqueiros was a Mexican social realist painter
known for his large murals in
fresco
.
Along with
Diego Rivera
and
Jos Clemente Orozco
, he established "
Mexican Muralism
.
His
Communist activities led to numerous jailings and periods of
exile. He produced thousands of square feet of wall paintings in
which numerous social, political and industrial changes were
portrayed from a left-wing perspective. For Siqueiros, art and
politics blended well together. He, again with Diego Rivera and
Orozco started the
El Machete
, the weekly paper that became
the official mouthpiece for the country's Communist Party.
He continued his
anti-Fascist theme during World War II and in 1974, Siqueiros died Cuernavaca
where he spent his last decade of his life.
In Muerte y funerales de Can, shown at the 1947 exhibition in the Palacio de

Bellas Artes, David Alfaro Siqueiros reveals his interest in landscape and moves
away from political themes. Siqueiros' experiments during that year in landscape
painting led him to use an abstract vocabulary and, as in this case, include
unexpected elements in the scene. The dead chicken that we see is lying between
the ordered ranks of workers and soldiers and a small group on the other side of
the divided land. The symbolism is purely personal in nature and may allude to the
Cold War.
No.2 - The Raft Of the Medusa ; Theodore Gericault (1791 - 1824) Romanticism
Theodore Gericault
was an influential French
painter and l
ithographer
, known for
The Raft
of the Medusa
and other paintings. Although
he died young, he was one of the pioneers of
the
Romantic movement
.
Despite about three
years of studio training, Gricault was largely
self-taught. He copied paintings in the Louvre
And traveled to Rome, where he discovered
Michelangelo's works and the exuberance of
Baroque art. Gricault died in 1824 after a
prolonged illness caused by a riding accident.
His last major works, discovered almost fifty
years after his death, were penetrating
portraits of the insane.
The story behind the painting is as devastating as the desperation on canvas.

The Medusa was a French naval vessel that was on course off the coast of Africa
before running aground on a sandbar near Mauritania on July 2, 1816. After three
days of trying to free the ship from where it was stuck, the crew and passengers
took to the ship's six small lifeboats.
The problem was that there were 400 people on board, while the boats only had
the capacity to carry approximately 250. As a result, 146 men and one woman were
loaded onto a wooden raft that was both shoddily and hastily constructed.
With only one bag of biscuits, two casks of water, and several casks of wine, the
people adrift experienced a hellish 13 days at sea. There was a great deal of
infighting, with many people being thrown overboard, throwing themselves
overboard, or cannibalized.
By the time they were finally rescued, only 15 men had survived. This caused a
huge scandal at home due to the slow response of the French government in the
rescue.The greatest
inspiration
for this painting was the true story of the tragedy.
When news of what had happened reached France, the public was rightfully
shocked and Gricault seized this opportunity to capitalize without commission on
the event.
He foreshadowed the turn towards realism that would be seen in his own lifetime
and the modern use of the media as a political tool. In addition, a multitude of
prior artist's' influences can be seen in The Raft of the Medusa.
No.3 - Triumph of Death ; unknown ( Location : Palazzo Abatellis, Palermo )
(Painting Below)
The fresco is composed as a large miniature, where in a luxurious garden
surrounded by a hedge, Death enters riding a skinny horse. It is portrayed while
launching deadly arrows against characters belonging to all the social levels,
killing them. The horse occupies the centre of the scene, with its ribs well visible
and a scrawny head showing teeth and the tongue. Death has just released an
arrow, which has hit a young man in the lower right corner; it is keeping on a side
the scythe, its typical attribute.
On the lower part are the corpses of the people previously killed: emperors, popes,
bishops, friars, poets, knights and maidens. Each character is portrayed
differently: some still have a grimace of pain on the face, while others are serene;
some have their limbs abandoned on the ground, and others are kneeling down
after having been just struck by an arrow. On the left is a group of poor people,
invoking Death to stop their suffering, but being ignored. Among them, the figure
looking towards the observer has been proposed as a possible self-portrait of the
artist.On the right is the group of the nobles, shown as having no interest in the
events, and most of them continuing their activities. They include several
musicians, richly dressed noblewomen and knights with fur clothes, as symbols of
life and youth. A man is keeping a hawk on his arm, and another is leading two
hounds. Note: May suggest to the Bubonic Plague that was present at that time
and the Plague and is represented by Death ( skeleton on horse )
No.4 - Four Horsemen of the APOCALYPSE ; Victor Vasnetsov ( 1848 - 1926 ) Symbolism ,
History Painting
Vasnetsov was a Russian artist who specialised in
Mythological and Historical subjects. He is
considered the co founder of Russian folklorist and
romantic nationalistic painting. He was also a key
figure in the Russian revivalist movement.
(The lamb with the rainbow on top of the painting with a open book and a rainbow
over it, has led me to believe that it represents the Lamb of God also known as
Jesus Christ who opens the seals to let out the Horsemen.)
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are describedby John of Patmos inhis Bookof
Revelations, the last book of the New Testament. The chapter tells of a book, or
scroll, in Gods right handthatis sealed with sevenseals. The Lambof God, orLion
of Judah, (JesusChrist)opens the firstfourofthesevenseals,whichsummonsforthfour
beings that ride out onwhite, red, black,andpalehorses. Althoughsome interpretations

No. 5 - Napoleon Bonaparte Visiting The Plague-Stricken In Jaffa ; Antoine Jean Gros
(1771-1835) Romanticism
Jean Gros was both a French History

painter and neoclassical painter.
Born in
Paris
, Gros began to learn to draw at the age of six from his father, who was a
miniature painter, and showed himself as a gifted artist.At the Salon of 1804, Gros
debuted his painting
Bonaparte Visiting the Plague Victims of Jaffa
. The painting
launched his career as a successful painter. It depicts Bonaparte in Jaffa visiting

soldiers infected with the bubonic plague. He is portrayed reaching out to one of
the sick, unfazed by the illness. While Bonaparte did actually visit the pesthouse,
later, as his army prepared to withdraw from Syria, he ordered the poisoning (with
laudanum) of about fifty of his plague-infected men The painting was
commissioned as damage control when word spread of his actions. The painting is
in the Neo-Classical style, though it shows elements such as the lighting and a
taste for the exotic that are precursors to the upcoming Romantic ideals.On 25
June 1835, he was found drowned on the shores of the
Seine
at
Meudon
, near
Svres
. From a paper which he had placed in his hat, it became known that "tired
of life, and betrayed by last faculties which rendered it bearable, he had resolved to
end it."
The picture depicts General Bonaparte visiting plague-stricken French troops in

the courtyard of a Jaffa mosque being used as a military hospital. The scene took
place in March 1799 during the Syrian campaign. Bonaparte, ignoring the doctor
trying to dissuade him - touches a sore on one of the plague victims with his bare
hand. One of the officers watching has a handkerchief over his mouth. On the left,
two Arabs are handing out bread to the sick. On the right, a blind soldier is trying
to approach the general-in-chief. In the foreground, in the shadows, the dying
men are too weak to turn towards their leader. The painter is implying that
Bonaparte's virtue and courage justify the horrors of war. Gros has given him the
luminous aura and gestures of Christ healing the lepers in religious paintings.
No.6 - Victims of Fanaticism ; Mykola Pymonenko ( 1862-1912)
One of the most eminent Ukrainian

genre painters, Pymonenko was
widely acclaimed in the Russian
Empire; a member of the Imperial
Academy of Arts since 1904 and of a
progressive Peredvizhniki artistic
movement and the turn of the
century, a member of the Paris
International Union of Arts and
Literature, who created many
paintings of rural and urban subjects.
A number of Pimonenko's paintings
are, in fact, generalized portraits
which are the embodiment of a
popular ideal of the working man.
The artist also turned to the theme of
peasant labour, depicting typical
scenes from everyday life against the
backdrop of a landscape. . In 1901 was appointed a full-time teacher of drawing to

the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, where he worked tili the last days of his life.
Pymonenko produced over 700 genre scenes, landscapes, and portraits, many of
which were reproduced as postcards.

No.8 - unnamed mural at Supreme Court - Jose Clemente Orozco ( 1883-1949 )
Born November 23, 1883, Mexican muralist Jos

Clemente Orozco created impressive, realistic
paintings. A product of the Mexican Revolution, he
overcame poverty and eventually traveled to the U.S.
and Europe to paint frescos for major institutions. A
man of unparalleled vision, as well as striking
contradiction, he died of heart failure at age 65.Jos
Clemente Orozco was a painter who helped lead the
revival of Mexican mural painting in the 1920s. His
works are complex and often tragic.

painter.
This work is one if Vermeer's greatest depictions of Dutch culture during the 17th
century. In this image we see a young lady having a music lesson playing the
virginal, a keyboard instrument. Virginals were commonly played by young ladies
and they produced a delicate, fine sound which was appropriate for women of this
time.
The music composed for the virginal always told of moral values and
enlightenment but also spoke of romance, love and happy adventures within the
virtues of religious order.The Music Lesson is from a wealthy upper-class scene,
as it was common practice for women from affluent families to partake in such
activities.
Vermeer
's idealism is evident in this canvas, as he paints yet another
depiction based on women's role in society and what he sees as righteous and
beautiful.
The viewer is left to imagine the narrative taking place and can create the music
filling the scene. Vermeer inserts various other instruments to reinforce a musical
theme, such as the viol on the floor.
No.2 The Cardsharps Caravaggio ( 1571 1610 ) Baroque, Renaissance

Caravaggio was an
Italian painter
active in
Rome
,
Naples
,
Malta
, and
Sicily
.
His paintings, which combine a realistic observation of the human
state, both physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting, had a
formative influence on
Baroque painting
.In his twenties Caravaggio moved
to Rome where there was a demand for paintings to fill the many huge
new churches and
palazzos
being built at the time. In 1606 he killed a
young man in a brawl and fled from Rome with a price on his head. He was
involved in a brawl in Malta in 1608, and another in Naples in 1609,
possibly a deliberate attempt on his life by unidentified enemies. This
encounter left him severely injured. A year later, at the age of 38, he died
under mysterious circumstances in
Porto Ercole
in Tuscany, reportedly
from a fever while on his way to Rome to receive a pardon. Famous while
he lived, Caravaggio was forgotten almost immediately after his death, and it was only in the 20th
century that his importance to the development of Western art was rediscovered. Despite this, his
influence on the new Baroque style that eventually emerged from the ruins of Mannerism was
profound.

No.3 - La Horde ; Wolfgang Beltracchi ( 1951 - present )
Wolfgang Beltracchi, the "forger of the century," created chaos in the art market
with his fake paintings - and hundreds are still circulating.
Over a period of
three-and-a-half decades, Beltracchi has probably produced 300 paintings in the

style of great masters, such as Picasso, Gauguin or Monet. Unfortunately, he
would also sign these works with their names instead of his own. Then he would
let his wife sell them.. About 250 of his paintings are still undiscovered, spread all
over the world. Even the people who know they own one of his forgeries prefer to
remain silent. Millions of dollars are at stake. The forger was so good that even
the widow of Max Ernst said that Beltracchi painted her husband's most beautiful
forest. Experts also thought the paintings were originals and true masterpieces.
On a painting supposed to be a 1914 work by Heinrich Campendonk, he used
titanium white, although the paint did not exist yet at the time.
He was sentenced to six years in prison in 2011. His wife got a four-year sentence.
During his pre-trial detention in a prison in Cologne, he made portraits of the
other prisoners. He kept on painting obsessively in the minimal supervision prison
and after his release. His sentence was shortened and he was released on January
8, 2015. ( Beltracchi is a German )
This forgery is created in the style of Max Ernst
No.4 - Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife ; Jan Van Eyck ( 1390 - 1441 ) Renaissance
Van Eyck
was an
Early Netherlandish
painter active in
Bruges
and
one of the most significant

Northern Renaissance
artists of the 15th
century.Little is known of his early life. The few surviving records
indicate that he was born c. 138090, most likely in
Maaseik
. He
took employment as painter and
Valet de chambre
with
John of
Bavaria-Straubing
, ruler of Holland, in the Hague around 1422,
when he was already a master painter with workshop assistants.Van
Eyck painted both secular and religious subject matter, He was
highly influential and his techniques and style were quickly adopted
and refined by
Robert Campin
and
Rogier van der Weyden
and later
generations of Early Netherlandish painters.
Giovanni
Arnolfini,
a
prosperous Italian banker
who
had
settled
in
Bruges, and his wife
Giovanna Cenami, stand
side by side in the bridal
chamber, facing towards
the viewer. To the left,
the oranges placed on the
low
table
and
the
windowsill are a reminder
of an original innocence,
of an age before sin.
Above the couple's heads,
the candle that has been
left burning in broad
daylight on one of the
branches of an ornate
copper chandelier can be
interpreted as the nuptial
flame, or as the eye of
God. The small dog in the
foreground is an emblem
of fidelity and love.
Meanwhile, the marriage
bed with its bright red
curtains
evokes
the
physical act of love
which,
according
to
Christian doctrine, is an
essential part of the perfect union of man and wife.
Although all these different elements are highly charged with meaning, they
are of secondary importance compared to the mirror, the focal point of the
whole composition. It has often been noted that two tiny figures can be seen
reflected in it, their image captured as they cross the threshold of the room.
They are the painter himself and a young man, doubtless arriving to act as
witnesses to the marriage.. Van Eyck practised perspective on a purely heuristic
basis, unaware of the laws by which it was governed. ( Basically Eyck is known
for his precise detail)
No. 5 - Hustler ; Arthur Sarnoff ( 1912 - 2000 )
Sarnoff was an American artist. His portfolio

includes extensive commercial work for weekly
magazines and his art appeared in a variety of
advertising campaigns including Karo Syrup,
Dextrose,

Sal Hepatica
,
Listerine
,
Vicks Vapo Rub
, Meds, and
Ipana
. He also
made an album cover for the American punk band
Butthole Surfers For their third album,
Locust
Abortion Technician
, which portrays two
clowns
playing with a
dog
. One of his paintings, "The
Hustler", was one of the best-selling prints of the
1950s
His work was whimsical and engaging and relied heavily upon themes of
Americana and
slapstick humour. ( Sarnoff is renowned for this kind of artwork;
playful almost )

Liu Xiaodong is a painter of modern

life, whose large-scale works serve
as a kind of history painting for the
emerging world. A leading figure
among the Chinese Neo-Realist
painters to emerge in the 1990s, his
adherence to figurative painting
amounts to a conceptual stance
within a contemporary art context
where
photographic
media
dominate. Society and art, he says,
should be like breathing one

out (2008).
Liu Xiaodongs exhibition at the Faurschou Foun

ghost city frequently portrayed by the western press and
urban planning aficio
nados, and has chosen a propitious
location in Ordos, Inner Mongolia to set his latest scene for live
painting and reflection on the Chinese dream life and dream
city environment.Liu Xiaodong investigates the ideal of the
dream life within the context of the reality of the current
Chinese lifestyle, discreetly asking, What is our dream? A
ghost city or a crowded city, which is better?

No. 5 - The Wait ; Edward Kienholz ( 1927 - 1994 ) ( Funk Art )

An American artist of unwavering originality, critical insight, and
notoriety, Edward Kienholz created powerful work that reflected
upon contemporary social and political issues of late
twentieth-century America. He created life-size three-dimensional
tableaux and immersive environments, composed out of the
discarded detritus he found at yard sales and flea markets.
Although he is best known for his contributions to the development
of postwar sculptural practices, Kienholz was also a key promoter
of the Los Angeles avant-garde as the founder of the NOW Gallery
and cofounder of the Ferus Gallery, a pivotal venue and gathering
place for the era's emerging poets and artists. From 1972 onward,
he worked almost exclusively with his fifth wife, the artist Nancy
Reddin Kienholz, who played a significant role in the
conceptualization and fabrication of his later works.

- Your own opinion ; cant answer this for you guys. Just take a
few modern art pieces and analyse and see what works ( this
question is very subjective )
Question 3 -
Is it a healthy mindset for valuing the world, or an

"unfinished" and "incomplete" the same thing?
- Incomplete as by definition is not having all the necessary or appropriate parts.

Analysis : In the song, Paul Kelly adopts the character of Joe, a father who is spending
Christmas in prison, away from his children, sweetheart, family and friends. In the
song, Joe speaks to his brother Dan and reflects on all the people that he has hurt and
the things that he will miss while he is in jail.
He's scared of many things, but he also
wishes that his kids remember him and love him for who he is, not what he did. He also
promises everyone that when he finishes his time, he will be making gravy ( money )
and pay em all back (family, friends and everyone he has hurt)
No. 2 - Folsom Prison Blues ; Johnny Cash

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'

And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison,

If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
Analysis :
It's about a person who shot someone.He regrets not listening to
his mom about not playing with guns and also wishes he was like the
people that are enjoying life. (They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big
cigars) He knows that, even though he wants to be free, he never will be free
from his emotional prison. (I know i can be free) as he shot a man just to
watch him die But he dreams about a time that he could do better, and be
far away from his prison. (Far from folsom prison)

No. 4 - Liberty Needs Glasses ; Tupac Shakur

excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbed into mutulu and
trippin on geronimo pratt
but stepped right over oliver
and his crooked partner ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on mandela

and liberty was misquoted by the indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving black males
i mean really if anyone really valued life
and cared about the masses
theyd take em both 2 pen optical
and get 2 pair of glasses
Analysis:
The whole poem is a metaphor about how the justice system is blind and needs work.
A few good lines are how justice "Tripped on Geronimo Pratt, but stepped right over Oliver and
his partner Ronnie" It basically means that the system lets some crimes go due to race or
wealth/class in society. Another one is "Slavery was a learning phase forgotten without a
verdict" meaning there were no consequences for the whites who used blacks as slaves and we
are supposed to use that time as a learning experience. and the last one would be "I mean
really if anyone really valued life and cared about the masses theyd take em both 2 Pen optical
and get 2 pair of Glasses". That means that people who claim that they care about american
society as a whole they need to stand up and fight. Tupac is stating that both Justice and
Liberty needs glasses
No. 5- Negro Y Azul ; Los Cuates de Sinaloa ( Song originally in Spanish; this is the
English version )
The City's called Duke
And New Mexico, the state.
Among the gangsters,
His fame has greatly spread
'Cause of a new drug
That the gringos have created.
They say it is colored blue
And that it's pure in quality,
That powerful drug
That is running through the town
And the owners of the market
Couldn't stop it.
They had the Duke's market,
El Tuco and Krazy-8.
They murdered Tuco while
he was driving his Escalade.
A while before the gabachos
finished off Krazy-8.
The cartel's running hot because
They were disrespected,
They talk 'bout some "Heisenberg"
Who now controls the market.
No one knows a thing about him
Since they have never seen him.
The cartel's about respect
And they have never forgiven.
This homie's already dead
He just hasn't been told so.
Heisenberg's fame
Has reached down to Michoacn.
From way over there they want to come,
to taste that crystal.
That blue stuff has gone international.
Now New Mexico's name is well suited.
Now it looks just like Mexico
'Cause of all the drugs it's hiding,
Except there's a gringo boss,
as "Heisenberg" he's known.
The cartel's running hot because
They were disrespected,

They talk 'bout some "Heisenberg"
Who now controls the market.
No one knows a thing about him
Since they have never seen him.
From the fury of the cartel
No one has ever escaped.
This homie's already dead
He just hasn't been told so.

Analysis: Well as far as i have found, many websites analyse this song as
representing death but one website state that is instead represents life. But i
would like to interpret this song as in neither of them. This song again is very
open for debate so disagreements may be thrown around here and there. Feel free
to state any opinion whether it may either agree or disagree with mine. I feel that
this song was composed as a reflection of Schuberts own life. Schubert was quite
a successful composer in his early years as he slowly was recognised by his fellow
musicians. As i have said before, Schubert's style of music is very
strange
as he
follows no path and only composes what he feels is right. Because of this, many
music publishers of that time failed to recognise Schubert and left him in a bad
financial situation and later historians believed that he contracted syphilis later in
his life. Yet Schubert still continued composing throughout the dull days of his life
and came up with many compositions we know of today such as

"Wanderer
Fantasy" for piano and the two-movement "Eighth Symphony," However none of
this brought him the fame or fortune Schubert had hope for but he still composed
many of the pieces we know of today even when battling his health problems and
at one time he was broke but still he continued composing. Even as his financial
situations began to improve in Schuberts final years, he was never truly was
accepted by his music until his death. How would this relate to Der Leiermann you
say? Well first we have the whole poem centralized on the
organ-grinder
which
we could relate as it being Schubert.
With stiff fingers He coaxes out the sound,

His saucer is empty, Gifts for him are rare No one listens to him, Or looks at him,
or cares
This we can relate to Schuberts point of life where people didnt accept
his
kind
of music as being free you can say, not following any guidelines and
this we can also relate on Schuberts way of saying how he is trying his best to
produce music after music only to be ignored by the rest of society.
Dogs snarl at
him
Dogs chase him, But he wears a smile ,He shows no fear or disappointment , But
turns the handle round and roundThis can be Schuberts way of saying how
society around him failed to acknowledge his taste in music and despised him for
that as again Schubert has no structure or straight direction when composing as
again, Schubert composed music based on his own desire.
He shows no fear or disappointment,
But turns the handle round and round,
Shall I join you on your journey? Will you play the music to my songs?
This last
stanza can be interpreted as how Schubert persevere against the harsh criticism of
society and continue composing the way he did. The last beat of the poem, in my
opinion, is the composers plead to the reader on whether they would finally
accept him and his music.
No.2 - 15th Symphony, 1st Movement ; Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)

No. 3 - Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM
( Song Here )
The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old

French superstition: Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence, Striking with his
heel a tomb, Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zig, on his
violin. The winter wind blows and the night is dark; Moans are heard in
the linden trees. Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and
leaping in their shrouds. Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, The bones of
the dancers are heard to crack But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, They push forward, they fly; the
cock has crowed.
According to the ancient superstition, "Death" appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the
power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle (represented by a
solo violin with its E-string tuned to an E-flat in an example of scordatura tuning). His skeletons dance for
him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.
The piece opens with a harp playing a single note, D, twelve times to signify the clock striking midnight,
accompanied by soft chords from the string section. This then leads to the eerie E flat and A chords (also
known as a tritone or the "Devil's chord") played by a solo violin, representing death on his fiddle. After which
the main theme is heard on a solo flute and is followed by a descending scale on the solo violin. The rest of
the orchestra, particularly the lower instruments of the string section, then joins in on the descending scale.
The main theme and the scale is then heard throughout the various sections of the orchestra until it breaks
to the solo violin and the harp playing the scale. The piece becomes more energetic and climaxes at this
point; the full orchestra playing with strong dynamics.Towards the end of the piece, there is another violin
solo, now modulating, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The final section, a pianissimo,
represents the dawn breaking and the skeletons returning to their graves.
The piece makes particular use of the xylophone in a particular theme to imitate the sounds of rattling
bones. Saint-Sans uses a similar motif in the Fossils part of his Carnival of the Animals.
No. 4 - 4th Symphony, 2nd Movement ; Gustav Mahler ( 1860-1911 )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r86BBMrlUfc
(Song Above)
The Symphony No. 4 in
G major
by
Gustav Mahler
was written in 1899 and 1900, though it
incorporates a song originally written in 1892. The
song, "Das himmlische Leben", presents a child's vision of Heaven. It is sung by a

soprano in the work's fourth and last movement. Although typically described as
being in the key of G major, the
symphony
employs a
progressive tonal scheme
.
The second movement, one of Mahler's

Lndler1
movements, is a Scherzo in C
minor, with two F major Trios. The first crack has appeared in the illusion we
would expect a slow movement followed by a Scherzo, but here Mahler has
reversed the expected order of the middle movements. The leader of the orchestra
is required to play on a
violin
tuned two semi-tones higher than normal, to
produce a thin, ghostly sound. This represents Death playing a dance to lead us to,
where to Heaven or to Hell?

Analysis:
The song,
Stink-Foot
, is a difficult one to discern the exact meaning of,
but the literal structure involves an outcast being taken to a
place where they
keep the imaginary diseases
and sold what the song describes as a very serious
case of foot odour. This song also illustrates a number of musical principles that
just about every musician or pseudo-musician is told about but very few actually
put into practice. The most important of which is the importance of the element of
surprise.
No. 2 - Industrial Disease ; Dire Straits

Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town

Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'goodness me could this be Industrial Disease?
The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post

They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas
And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease
There's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
Some blame the management some the employees
And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease
The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks

Innocence is injured experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'
On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless theology is worse
History boils over there's an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'
Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here
You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer
I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees
But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'
He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed
But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
Come back and see me later - next patient please
Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'
I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck

They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
'they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war to keep their factories
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease'
Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon
Abolish monday mornings and friday afternoons'
The other one's on a hunger strike he's dying by degrees
How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease
Analysis:
The song takes a look at decline of the
British
manufacturing
industry
in the early 1980s, focusing on
strikes
,
depression
and
dysfunctionality. For example, the absurdity of media-driven maladies is laid

out in a segment of the song describing the narrator's visit to a doctor's
office for treatment of his "Industrial Disease".
The reference to "Brewer's Droop" as a medical condition is an in-joke,
referring both to the
effect of alcohol on libido
and to
the band of the same
name
that
Mark Knopfler
played in prior to
Dire Straits
.

Analysis:
"Another Day in Paradise" is a
protest song
recorded by
English
drummer and singer
Phil Collins
. Collins sings the song from a
third-person perspective, observing as a man crosses the street to ignore a
homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to
homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion, "it's just another day
for you and me in
paradise
". Collins also appeals directly to
God
by singing:
"Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be
something you can say?" It is a song calling for acknowledgment and
acceptance to the homeless in society

No. 5 - City of The Damned ; Green Day

At the center of the earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
'Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much but it only confirmed
That the center of the earth is the end of the world

And I could really care less
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care, hey
Analysis:
The whole is song is about how people are very selfish these days. Not caring
about anyone else but themselves. The
motto says "Home is where your heart is", but it doesn't
mean that this works for everyone; some people just don't fit in. Green Day points out that
people don't really care about anyone but themselves these days ("Lost children with dirty faces
today no one really seems to care"), and surrounded by this indifference he states that now he
doesn't care either. Not caring more like.

Analysis:
One of U2's most overtly political songs, its lyrics describe the horror
felt by an observer of
the Troubles
in
Northern Ireland
, mainly focusing on the
Bloody Sunday
incident in
Derry
where British troops shot and killed unarmed
civil rights protesters and bystanders who were there to rally against internment
(imprisonment without trial), while at the same time rejecting hate and revenge
as a response noted in the lyrics, "There's many lost, but tell me who has won."
Bloody Sunday:
Bloody Sunday sometimes called the Bogside Massacre was an
incident on 30 January 1972 in the
Bogside
area of
Derry
,
Northern Ireland
.
British
soldiers
shot 26 unarmed civilians during a protest march against
internment
. Fourteen
people died: thirteen were killed outright, while the death of another man four months
later was attributed to his injuries. Many of the victims were shot while fleeing from the
soldiers and some were shot while trying to help the wounded. Other protesters were
injured by
rubber bullets
or batons, and two were run down by army vehicles. The march
had been organised by the
Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association
and the
Northern
Resistance Movement
.

Analysis:
The song, which is written in the key of
E-flat minor
, is told from
the point of view of a boy who has been taken in for questioning about a girl's
(Jenny) murder. After explaining the incident from his perspective, the boy (voiced
by Flowers), claims that he is innocent by saying that "there ain't no motive for
this crime, Jenny was a friend of mine." The song has no resolution of the crime
and it is never clarified if the boy was guilty.
It is a part of The Killers' alleged "Murder Trilogy", three songs detailing the
murder of a girl named Jenny.

No. 2 - Epilogue (From Les Miserables) ; Alain Boublil and

Claude-Michel Schonberg
Monsieur, I bless your name
I am ready Fantine!
Monsieur, lay down your burden
At the end of my days
Youve raised my child in love
Shes the best of my life
And you will be with God
Papa, papa, I do not understand

Are you all right?
Why did you go away
Cosette, my child
Am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God
Ive lived to see this day
Its you who must forgive a thoughtless fool

Its you who must forgive a thankless man
Its thanks to you that I am living
And again I lay down my life at your feet
Cosette, your father is a saint
When they wounded me
He took me from the barricade
Carried like a babe
And brought me home
To you
Now you are here

Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
You will live, Papa, you're going to live

It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die

I'll obey
I will try.
On this page
I write my last confession
Read it well when I, at last, am sleeping
It's the story
Of one who turned from hating
A man who only learned to love
When you were in his keeping.
Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
(Oh, I'm ready, Fantine.)
All your grief
At last, at last behind you
Lord in Heaven
Look down on him in mercy.
Forgive me all my trespasses

And take me to your glory.
Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation

Take my love
For love is everlasting
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God.
Do you hear the people sing

Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the earth

There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.
They will live again in freedom

In the garden of the Lord.
We will walk behind the ploughshare;
We will put away the sword.
The chain will be broken

And all men will have their reward.
Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! Tomorrow comes!
