MUSIC
20th and 21st century Multi-Media Forms
1) OPERA
Opera began as a constructed form. Unlike other musical forms it did not evolve in relation to other music
developments, such as sonata form arising from the development of equal temperament. It exploded onto
the scene. The Renaissances fascination with the ancient world of the Greeks and the Romans created
opera. It was one of its greatest, if misguided fruits. The original idea of opera was to recreate Greek drama,
retaining, as Marianne McDonald reveals, Aristotles elements of tragedy: plot, character, thought, language,
spectacle and music. Although earlier examples of vocal music existed they did not have the focus on plot,
character and spectacle that was given to opera. For example, the chorales of the Church and the musical
morality plays such as Hildegard of Bingens Ordo Virtutum (1151) were more interested in praise of God
than of suspenseful enticement of the audience. As with many created forms, opera had a difficult infancy
and these early years are worthy of an opera themselves.
Started in the Philippines during the 19 th Century when Instrumental virtuosis, opera singers, and Spanish
zarzuela performers came.
The element of tragedy, emanating from the popular themes of romance, deceit, murder, vendetta, and
other elements of human frailty, became a favorite story pattern of the Filipino opera.
a) La loba Negra
La Loba Negra (The Black She-Wolf) is a three-act Filipino opera. Acts I and II are based on history. Act III
is based on a legend attributed to Fr. Jose Burgos.
The music was composed by National Artist FranciscoFeliciano, with libretto by soprano Fides Cuyugan
Asensio.
The premiere was held in 1984 followed by another presentation in 1985.
a) Lola Basyang

rekindle the interest of the Filipino youth in the beauty, richness, and heritage of Philippine literature.
Two episodes of such stories were presented by Ballet Manila, with Lisa Macuja-Elizalde as the companys
Executive Director and prima ballerina. Entitled Tatlong Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (2009) and Tatlo Pang

The production had the dancers moving alongside the characters to provide the choreographic interpretation
of their singing and acting.
3) Musical Play
is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and
emotional content of a musical humor, pathos, love, anger are communicated through the words, music,
movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre
overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance
given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th
century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals.
A product of Philippine theater highly influenced by Broadway and West End
Mostly adapted from novels, literary works, or biographical sketches of famous artists.

ARTS
Elements of Art as Applied to an
Original Performance
Performance art is a performance presented to an audience within a fine art context,
traditionally interdisciplinary. Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random
or carefully orchestrated; spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without
audience participation. The performance can be live or via media; the performer can be
present or absent. It can be any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space,
the performer's body, or presence in a medium, and a relationship between performer
and audience. Performance art can happen anywhere, in any type of venue or setting
and for any length of time. The actions of an individual or a group at a particular place
and in a particular time constitute the work.
Spectacle
In general, spectacle refers to an event that is memorable for the appearance it creates.
Derived in Middle English from c. 1340 as "specially prepared or arranged display" it was
borrowed from Old French spectacle, itself a reflection of the Latin spectaculum "a show"
from spectare "to view, watch" frequentative form of specere "to look at. The
word spectacle has also been a term of art in theater dating from the 17th century in
English drama.
Principles of Art
Rhythm, Movement
Rhythm and dance are deeply linked in history and practice. The American dancer Ted
Shawn wrote; "The conception of rhythm which underlies all studies of the dance is
something about which we could talk forever, and still not finish."
A musical rhythm requires two main elements; first, a regularly-repeating pulse (also
called the "beat" or "tactus") that establishes the tempo and, second, a pattern
of accents and rests that establishes the character of the metre or basic rhythmic pattern.
The basic pulse is roughly equal in duration to a simple step or gesture.
Balance
the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was
a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical
balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other
side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial
balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar.

DANCE FORMS
Hip-hop
In the 1970s, an underground urban movement known as "Hip Hop" began to develop in
the South Bronx in New York City. It focused on emceeing (or MCing), breakbeats, and
house parties. Hip hop music has been a powerful medium for protesting the law,
particularly police and prisons,
Hip hop is characterized by anywhere from four to nine distinct elements or expressive
realms. The main four are MCing (orality), turntablism or DJing (aural/sound practice), b-
boying (movement/dance), and graffiti art (visual). Other elements often cited are
knowledge (intellectual/philosophical), beatboxing, street entrepreneurism, language, and
fashion among others.
Street Dance
A street dance is a dance styleregardless of country of originthat evolved
outside dance studios in any available open space such as streets, dance parties, block
parties, parks, school yards, raves, and nightclubs. The term is used to
describe vernacular dances in urban context.
Vernacular dances are often improvisational and social in nature, encouraging interaction
and contact with spectators and other dancers. These dances are a part of the vernacular
culture of the geographical area that they come from. Examples of street dance include b-
boying (or breakdancing), which originated in New York City,and Melbourne Shuffle which
originated in Melbourne, Australia.
Cheer Dance
Cheerleading ranges from yelling to intense physical activity for sports team motivation,
audience entertainment, or competition based upon organized routines. The routines
usually range anywhere from one to three minutes, which may contain many components
of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers, and stunting in order to direct spectators of events to
cheer for sports teams at games or to participate in cheerleading competitions.
The roots of cheerleading began during the late 18th century with the rebellion of male
students.After the American Revolutionary War, students experienced harsh treatment
from teachers. In response to faculty's abuse, college students violently acted out. The
undergraduates began to riot, burn down buildings located on their college campuses, and
assault faculty members. As a more subtle way to gain independence, however, students
invented and organized their own extracurricular activities outside their professors' control.
This brought America sports and cheerleading to participate in, beginning first with
collegiate teams.
Contemporary Dance
Contemporary dance is a dance performance genre that developed during the mid
twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally
trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and
Europe.
its technique, contemporary dance tends to combine the strong and controlled legwork of
ballet with modern dance's stress on the torso, and also employs contract-release, floor
work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristic of modern dance.[2] Unpredictable
changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used, as well. It sometimes also
incorporates elements of non-western dance cultures such as elements from African
dance including bent knees, or movements from the Japanese contemporary
dance Butoh.
HEALTH
Existing Global Health Initiatives
All 189 United Nations member states at that time, and at least 22 international
organizations, committed to help achieve the following Millennium Development Goals by
2015:
o Importance
Career planning is essential for those in the mining industry to succeed, particularly as the
mining industry has been in so much turmoil in recent years which has resulted in job
opportunities having shrunken tremendously. For this reason planning and setting
milestones for your desired career path in mining is essential.
o Component Steps
Plan forward. Put on paper where you see yourself going in your career, and plot each
step that you will need to reach, in order to get there.
Self-assessment. Routinely assess your skills, your potential, your strengths and
weaknesses and your ability to fulfil your aims.
Self-development. Once you have assessed yourself, always ensure that you pay
attention to any loopholes that you may have identified in your self-assessment, and
ensure you come up with an action to correct and fill these loopholes.
Work on getting the right experience. Try to gain as much experience as possible in
your job, take on additional projects and work if possible, in order to be able to gain new
experience.
Make yourself indispensable. Remember that in the work place that all moves and
promotions are based on high levels of competencies and job performances. You need to
be the best you can possibly be, to ensure that you are not overlooked for promotions and
future roles.
Networking is critical. Really work on your networking skills and ensure that the
networks that you create are relevant to your job choices and career aspirations.
Networking is not just about making contacts, its about making the right contacts and
getting to known and earning the respect of those that may be able to assist in your career
aspirations.
Find a mentor. If possible and your company offers this facility, find a mentor. A mentor
can help you in obtaining essential knowledge and information that will enable you to
quickly learn what is required in your job, and help you succeed. A mentorship program
forms important relationships with those that can help in your career progression.
Training. Keeping up to date with training is essential particularly in the highly competitive
and every changing mining industry. Take advantage of any opportunities for training that
come your way.
Succession Planning. Succession planning is a process where employees are recruited,
trained and developed to fill each key position within a company. Actively pursuing
succession planning opportunities will ensure you are constantly developing and
progressing in your career.
Transfers and lateral moves. Should you feel you are stagnating in your current role,
and that there is little chance for progression, ask for a transfer, even if it is lateral move, if
it means you will gain wider and broader experience.
