external site.). It’s a project, put together through a partnership between The Citadel and The Charleston Oral History Project. Get excited, because
this means that we are going to listen to the voices of some real live Charlestonians!

First, picture in your mind what a Charlestonian sounds like. Conjure the accent. Listen to the way the words curve. You have a few ideas in mind?
Excellent!
Now, please do the following:
1. Read the blurb that opens this project, called “Charleston Accents.”
2. Scroll down until you see a menu labelled, “Explore.” You can explore the accents of James and John’s Island; of Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island,
and IOP; and of the Peninsula. Under each of those areas, there are multiple audio clip snippets to listen to (each is 2 or 3 minutes in length).
3. Please pick at least 6 voices to listen to. Try to pick people from different time periods, different regions within the Charleston area, different races,
and different socioeconomics. The focus here is not so much on the content of what is said, but on how the language sounds, how it conveys
meaning. Locate your inner hippie, close your eyes, and just enjoy the shocking miracle of the human voice. (I know, I know. Super cheesy. But it’s
true!)
4. Alright, now find the analytical sections of your soul (you have those, too), and answer the following questions on our discussion board:
a. What do you notice about language, based on this small sampling? More specifically, what social and historical factors influence language use?
How did you hear this in the audio snippets you listened to? Give 1-2 specific examples.
b. Please make connections to Stubbs’s article on “Some Basic Sociolinguistic Concepts.” After reading the whole article, go back to two of the
following sub-sections that interested you:
Language and Attitudes toward Language
The Primitive Language Myth
Standard and Nonstandard Dialects
Language Varieties
Correctness or Appropriateness
Production and Comprehension
Pick one quote from each of those two sections that spoke to you. Then, make a connection between each quote and what you noticed in the audio
clips from the “Charleston Accents” project. What is most important for you, as educators, to understand about language?

“Work on Happiness and investment in the celebration of Armenian workmanship had brought Khachaturyan still nearer to Armenia’s otherworldly life and culture.” The expressive dance was later adjusted to Gayane in the spring of 1941, when Khachaturyan left to the city of Perm close by the migrated Leningrad Kirov Opera and Ballet Theater. Gayane was a moment sensation, and it utilized conventional Armenian and Caucasian society songs and moves, for example, the Georgian move Lezginka. One of the numbers, the Saber Dance, is still performed globally as an independent instrumental work and regularly used in films.

The term, ‘Old style Music’ is, actually, expansive comparable to its age, because of its huge scope, its underlying foundations of establishments covering music from the medieval through the current day. Be that as it may, it would be increasingly exact to characterize the term as a type of music written in European style, during a time period from around 1750 to 1830, when melodic structures like the ensemble and sonata were authoritatively formalized.

When taken a gander at old style music from this viewpoint, we can comprehend its most extreme essentialness to us, as artists, in the cutting edge age, to have the option to construct melodic information through its very fundaments ever.

The Origin of Classical Music – The How and Why

The main indications of this class were initially, and normally, extraordinary and interesting in its authentic, uprooted setting, extending right to AD 1000, when the thought previously happened of joining a few voices to sing a tune; it was the point at which the Church, who were really the most fundamental effect and impact on the improvement of music in those occasions, saw a need to organize the single-line unaccompanied serenades, because of how they had been used for a serious long time in sacrosanct customs. Regardless, for what reason would the congregation place worry in music? What was their view on music, when all is said in done?

The appropriate response lies in the historical backdrop of the early Christian church itself; the congregation was, before, a little yet decided gathering who had confidence in the ‘mission’ of changing over Europe into Christianity. In this manner, they profoundly attempted in the assignment to impact and avoid the way of life of the Pagan culture at that point, which was altogether supported by the utilization of a “medium” that would go about as a channel to spread Christian convictions: Music.

Music, or all the more explicitly Western Art Music, filled in as an incredible mode for the Early Christians, as it was seen as one of the “most grounded and natural powers of nature which had the ability to influence human idea and mind.”(Greek reasoning) Moreover, this view was likewise absorbed with the way of life and conventions of the congregation, in which, as should be obvious, how Christian serenades were gotten from, in any case.

This gives us how they started to see music as a key idea, at the same time, whenever looked from another point of view, with no acknowledged composed framework to signify the pitch or length of a note, the scoring of music was unavoidably a disputable issue. Consequently, a Benedictine cleric named Guido d’Arezzo, whose life as a melodic researcher accommodatingly orchestrated with the Church’s necessity for melodic unification, is, when all is said in done, credited with the presentation of a fight of flat lines, by which one could precisely record the pitch of notes, subsequently starting the primary idea of composed workmanship music.
