During the Middle Ages, the musical texture was monophonic, meaning it has a single melodic line. Sacred vocal music, such as Gregorian chants, was set to Latin text and sung unaccompanied. It was the only type of music allowed in churches, so composers kept the melodies pure and simple. Later on, church choirs added more melodic lines to Gregorian chants. The Texture of Medieval Renaissance Music The addition of more melodic lines to the Gregorian chants created polyphonic texture, meaning it has two or more melodic lines....

They want the boss to notice when they do more than is expected. But, most of all, people want to accomplish their own personal work mission....

While it’s impossible to do a list like this justice, it’s vital to make an attempt as it was for alternatives to the mainstream to exist and thrive during the glitzy, image-obsessed ’80s. Luckily for all of us, the pool from which to draw the cream of the underground was always overflowing with possibilities during the decade, even if many music fans couldn’t detect any activity whatsoever. Many of these interesting under-the-radar contributors to ’80s popular music are also those of whom have ultimately attracted the attention they deserved but didn’t receive the first time around....

A traditional music press kit was a tool used successfully for many years by musicians, labels, agents, and managers to promote a group, a new release, or a concert tour. Some of these music press kits were very simple, while others, particularly for groups signed to a label or management that provided funds for press kits, contained a lot of bells and whistles.

No matter what this individual’s title or job is, this person generally reports to finance and accounting....

What exciting animated worlds will we be transported to in 2014? Among some exciting sequels, there are a couple of new ideas that could, I hope, be really great. I mean, is anyone else as curious as I am about The Boxtrolls?

What you may notice as you look these movies over is a striking lack of Pixar....

The job of a wedding planner has a lot of moving parts including finding the venue and figuring out (along with the bride) what kind of food, music, and decorations to order.

After 330 miles on a 2009 BMW R1200GS at the BMW RawHyde Adventure Rider Challenge, this bike desperately craves rugged terrain. Thanks in part to 7.5 inches of front suspension travel and 7.9 inches at the rear, the knobby tire-equipped R1200GS is a big-bore enduro that’s ready for almost anything… just ask Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The air-cooled “boxer” engine is nearly bulletproof (though die-hards will assert that BMW doesn’t build airheads as they used to), delivering torquey, linear power that pulls strongly from low RPMs to the 8,000 RPM redline....

Gregorian Chant, also known as plainchant or plainsong, is an ancient form of Christian liturgical music. Plainsong has been around as long as the Christian church has, and was first cataloged and standardized by Pope Gregory I in the late sixth and early seventh centuries. The sound is monophonic (all voices sing the same note, with no harmony) and in eight set modes, and the chants are performed with simple, generally unaccented rhythm....

Cheek piercings are exactly what they sound like. They are located on the (facial) cheeks, either in pre-existing dimples or in the same approximate area in order to simulate the look of a dimple. Typically, this is a symmetrical piercing, meaning that both cheeks would be pierced at the same time so they match. This is a popular piercing because there’s something about dimples that symbolizes childhood. When a person smiles and has natural dimples, there’s an element of innocence that remains even when the person is older....
