Similarities of baroque and classical era?
In both the Baroque and Classical periods, composers were strongly tied to, connected to, and employed by the court of a Royal or Noble family of some sort, or a church. Mozart (a classical composer) was employed by the Emperor of Austria, and Bach was employed by several different chapels in his lifetime. These wealthy patrons, establishments or families usually provided for the composers welfare and lifestyle. However, Mozart in particular, died poor and struggling for money. However, Handel was a very successful man in his lifetime. Baroque and Classical music both share basic functional harmony that is not very adventurous in modulation, however, the mid to late Classic period begins to show signs of harmonic exploration to a wider degree. Some Baroque progressions are not commonly found in Classical music, however. To some extent, the harpsichord, which was an instrument almost entirely tied to the Baroque period in necessary usage, is found serving its purpose in music in the Roccoco style, or music that marked that transition from the high Baroque to the early Classical. At times, a "baroque" piece with many Classical features, will still have a harpsichord basso continuo/obligato doubling the bass line. I believe that some of Haydn's earliest symphonies employ a harpsichord doubling the bass line. The harpsichord is also found in recitatives in some of Mozart's operas. However, the vast majority of harpsichord repertoire in either solo or ensemble works, lies in the Baroque era. Forms of the Baroque laid ground for many periods to come. Techniques and styles were not forgotten as the Classical period came to noticeable rise around the death of Bach. Composers still wrote famous and striking Operas, Concerto, Mass, sonata (although the definition of sonata has changed through music history). The technique of following the rules of polyphonic writing and counterpoint was not forgotten in the Classical period, and neither was the art of Fugue writing, which had been fully matured and mastered by Bach and Handel. However, of course, the musical style had changed significantly by the mid to late Classical periods.
What are similarities between Romantic and Enlightenment Eras in philosophy?
The key to both eras and what ties them together at the beginning of modernity is one simple notion: the liberation of the self. They differ by the what method liberation is found: reason or emotion. Yet they both precede by demanding that the self be recognized as the starting point. Since each self is of value, meaning every life, both accept the modernist position that finds equality and liberty as the two principles of all just regimes. The enlightenment writers, especially Locke, found a harmony in reason, working for the fulfillment of the passions, via the liberty of the creation of property by labor. Rousseau, the first romantic writer, saw the conflict between equality and liberty and came down on the side of equality. Additionally the self is not liberated by finding truth by reason, according to him, but by the emoting upon the authentic feelings one experiences. Kant accepted the notions of Rousseau, while looking for away around Hume's guillotine of is to ought, and found it in placing morals within thus making them an artistic expression. (Clearly I'm making vast simplifications here, but the gist is right).
What are similarities between Baroque and Classical Music?
To answer this would require a major essay.....point to note they are NOT both classical , else your question would be nonsensical...the similarities AND differences must of course lie in the areas of form and style.....But there is no line drawn in the sand...whilst it is safe to say JS Bach is baroque (just) and Haydn is classical...the boundaries are quite woolly..to an organist Bach is classical ! the difference seem to be around the increased use of development during the so-called classical period i suggest you read either GROUT or LOVELOCK on this subject...and above all listen to the composers on the cusp...eg CPE Bach, Handel et al
What are the similarities between imperialism and globalization?
Imperialism made the world smaller by integrating different continents economically and politically, and to some extent also socially with regards to language, culture and individual movement between continents. Modern globalization is similar in all those regards, the key difference being that modern globalization is first and foremost institutionalized through international governmental organizations like the WTO and IMF (economic integration), United Nations (political and social integration), whereas integration in the eras of imperialism were institutionalized through the governments of imperial powers like the UK, France, Belgium and Netherlands.Today, the IMF and WTO are the main drivers of economic integration and interdependence between countries (in marxist terms this would be called “the international division of labor). Nevertheless we still see that governments act independently of these organizations, e.g. through country-to-country agreements like the principle of Most Favored Nation in trade agreements.The UN sets the standard for political and social integration for which most countries adhere, those being primarily human rights for the former and asylum quotas for the latter. However, as with economic integration, the nation state is still a powerful independent actor as it were during the eras of imperialism. With regards to social integration, a nation state decides how many from which countries who are allowed to immigrate as non-asylum seekers.So, the short answer of this question is cross-country, cross-continental integration.
What are some similarities and differences between the Medieval and Renaissance era?
If I am not mistaking, Medieval was more Gregorian chants and homophonic/monophonic texture with no musical instruments. They based everything around the church. Renaissance music introduced musical instruments such as the harpsichord and had more of polyphonic texture. They tried to spread a little away from the church which called quite an uproar when it came to music and the church. Hope this helped!
What are some differences and similarities between the Romantic and Victorian eras in England?
South Africa's apartheid involved White rule over the black, Indian, and mixed race populations. [Indians had immigrated to SA to work.] All these populations were part of South Africa. In Israel, the Israelis conquered West Bank and Gaza Strip in a defensive war, and maintained control of them in an effort to prevent more attacks on Israel. These lands were never considered as part of Israel. Israel itself had and has, citizens of every ethnicity and religion, including a large minority of Arab (Palestinian) Muslims. These citizens all have equality under the law. West Bank and Gaza are not part of Israel, and their people are not Israeli citizens. BTW all Jews have been expelled from Gaza. The Black "nations" in South Africa were never offered independence. Israel has long encouraged the formation of an independent Palestinian state from West Bank and Gaza. But they ask that the state recognize Israel as a state too. So far, Palestinian leaders have not been willing to say that Israel is a state. Most Palestinian leaders maintain that all of Israel should belong to "Palestine," whenever Palestine shall be founded. Israel cannot agree to this. Blacks had lived in South Africa since time immemorial, while Whites had immigrated there in the last few centuries. Jews had lived in Palestine from time immemorial, before it was ever called Palestine. Arabs had lived there for many centuries too. Islam wasn't founded until the 600s AD, so Islam is a late-comer to the region, relatively speaking. Christians had lived there since 30 AD, more or less. Christianity is not a race, of course; but then neither is Judaism. And technically, neither is Arabism, it's an ethnicity.
What are some musical similarities between classical music from the Romantic Era (Chopin, Liszt, etc.) and early jazz music (i.e., "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin)?
I find many similarities in feel from Post-Romantic music (Debussy and Ravel, especially) to both Gershwin and even certain syncopations and chord patterns in ragtime; and I myself am currently working on the Fugue in J, a Bach organ work (originally in B Minor) which can become full-blown jazz simply by syncopating in the right spots! But Chopin and Liszt? First of all, I agree with Howard Levitsky that Rhapsody in Blue is not early jazz, but a "concert piece with jazz influences". But, assuming that Gershwin is what you really mean, I would defnitely say that Gershwin gets his classical cues from the Romantics rather than, say from Bach, Beethoven or Mozart (though Gershwin is an original genius -- there is nothing really quite like Rhapsody in Blue that precedes it, at least in my experience). Those Pre-Romantics/Baroques got their harmonic twang mostly from laying down suspensions and occasionally playing with diminished chords within a single key context; Chopin and Liszt will go far afield with modulations by thirds and bold displays of chord-colour for its own sake. The Rhapsody, though, is more story-like in character: in my mind's eye I see a Gene Kelly sort of dance episode going on, with the romantic theme first coming in softly, by surprise, then growing and dominating the whole work. However, I am getting very subjective in this portrayal, trying to find tenuous links to these radically different sorts of music, and am beginning to sound like the critics I read in newspapers that get going on something and don't know when o quit. So I will!
What are the differences and similarities between impressionism and renaissance era of art?
One is an art movement while the other is an era.Renaissance period of western art is the time where art and other studies are reaching their highest possibility and potential.It became the highest standard of all fields, specially in art and architecture, that became overhyped during those times. Making artists to seek for other interpretation and non-academic approaches.By that, renaissance is old while impressionism is new and renaissance represents society as reference for story telling while impressionism captures society as is.While impressionism became very efficient with lesser ritual needed to make art acceptable. This style became popular rather quickly.There are lots of difference between the two but what makes them relative are their efficiency to capture the intrigue of the viewers. While some artists stepped down to a much newer yet less effort way of making arts. Both impressionist and renaissance men flourished appropriately within their time period and culture influence.Major similarities is that both celebrates figurative art and representational art.Disclaimer: Renaissance era may be the perfectionist period for art but Baroque and Rococo era was the epitome of classical art in my opinion. And impressionism was the gateway for expressionism.
What are the differences and similarities between Medieval England and Feudal Japan?
Japanese feudalism elided into the modern era even more intact than British feudalism, and that is saying something. It is in the structure of the Japanese language, with its constant reference to relative social relations, particularly in the verbs. In Britain this is handled more by the accent and slang -- by the Elizabethan period it was okay to lampoon the powerful, and cleverness could win the day. For various reasons, the medieval systems in Japan were adapted, not overthrown, during the two great pivots in its modern history, the arrival of the Black Ships and the defeat in World War II. British commercial activity, industrialization, and more recently the arrival of financial culture, was much more disruptive to the underlying social structure.Similarities? Veneration of behaviors simply because they are old. A belief in the inherent superiority of those holding hereditary power. A striking capability on the part of the elite leadership to cut deals with upstarts. A sense of retaining the order as necessary, because one is an island nation, capable of corruption by the great weight of the nearby mainland culture.
Which are the differences and similarities between enlightenment and romanticism? How did they understand God, beings and the world?
I think that Lawson has exaggerated the power of the church before the seventeenth century, and that is a popular misunderstanding. It is true that state and church powers are intertwined together, but often it is hard to tell whether it is the state employing the church for its political purpose or the church employing the state for its ecclesiastical agenda. During the seventeenth century, Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke did call for the separation of church and state, but there are devout Christians (Baptists and other non-Conformists in England) who called for the separation of church and state too.Now to the question proper. Different Enlightenment philosophers naturally have different conception of God. Locke believes in a traditional God and the Bible is the revelation of God, while other British philosophers are Deists. In Germany, Kant argues for a God as the transcendental condition for morality, while Hegel believes that the God of the religions is just a mythical entity for the Spirit (a kind of rational living force) that underlies both physical and mental reality. We may say that common point is that they all believe that the reality about God is accessible through reason. In the sphere of faith, as in other areas of life, rational arguments should be the way to truth.Romanticism is an ambiguous term. The Enlightenment philosophers, while advocating reason, also think deep about the limitations of reason. As a philosophic movement, romanticism is in constant dialogue with Enlightenment on the nature and limitations of reason. Romantic philosophers argue for an direct (not mediated through rational arguments) and intuitive way of grasping truth, such as through art (Schiller) or religious sentiment (Schleiermacher). Their images of God tend to focus on something like ground-of-being, the unifying reality behind our visible fragmented realities.As for romanticism as a literary and artistic movement, I’m too ignorant to say anything.
