BUSINESS STUDIES - PRODUCING A CHOCOLATE BAR Introduction My Business Studies Coursework is to design my very own chocolate bar. This involves making a wrapper, choosing ingredients, creating a logo, market research, and much more. Selecting the Product Make Sure This Is Suitable I have chosen to make a 'Caramel Turkish Delight'. This is an original product, and is suitable as it is not too outrageous, and I already know there is an existing market out there for Turkish delight confectionary. This product will create more profit than most other bars (Selling 100 Turkish Delight Bars at 40p would create more profit than selling 100 Plain Chocolate Bars at 30p). This is due to the fact that Turkish Delight is viewed as a 'luxury' chocolate bar product, and other bars in the market are priced similarly, e.g. Fry's Turkish Delight. I think my product fills a gap in the market in a way, because there are few quality Turkish delight bars and this is an original 'twist', being Caramel because the general public always want to try new things. Is it of a similar price to chocolate bars already on the market? So, I have decided the price will be 40p, as Fry's Turkish Delight costs 43p, and this bar is the best on the market in taste, design, and value (In my personal opinion - perhaps Market research will help prove this). Fry's Bar is 51g, and mine is 45g, but Fry's is 43p and
Barber's Adagio for Strings.
Barber's Adagio for Strings Barber's Adagio for Strings is a 20th century Classical Composition written by Samuel Barber (1910 - 1981). It was arranged for strings, performed by Philadelphia Orchestra and conducted by Engene Ormandy in 1932. The melody is mainly played by the violin and is quite sad, as it's in a minor key. The sad atmosphere is also created by the tempo being quite slow (lento) and played legato. It is quite repetitive and always returning to the same melodic ideas its repetitive pattern is like a person's grief, which won't go away and keeps plaguing them. The dynamics are reasonably quiet (mezzo piano) and at the beginning there is a slight crescendo. 2/3rds of the way through the dynamics gradually become louder as it reaches its climax the music then breaks off and returns back to the melodic figure, like the picture. The texture is reasonably thin, but gradually gets thicker, as the piece crescendos. The piece uses dissonance and silence which both create tension. You can imagine the regret and relief. Towards the end of the piece it seems to become slightly happier and the mood changes a bit. The piece is very atmospheric and thoughtful. The structure of the piece is very clever. Although the piece is beautiful, the different layers of sound are quite uncomfortable to listen to and create feelings of emotion and sadness. This is probably why after
An afghan wedding is interesting and unique
GCSE Coursework Original writing: An Afghan wedding An Afghan wedding is interesting and unique. We have our own special ways of doing things. An Afghan wedding it is a most remarkable and astonishing occasion. You get to experience wonderful things, eat lovely food, listen to music, dancing and you get to talk, laugh and have an enjoyable time with your loved ones and celebrate the beginning of a couple's new life. The wedding party begins around 4 or 5 o' clock. As you enter the hall there is usually a row of men at one side and a row of women at the other side, these men and women would mostly be the family members of the bride and groom, and would be greeting the guests who enter and lead them to the highly magnificent, stylish, well presented hall with everything just the way it would be in a fairy tale. Guests at an Afghan wedding, women, men, girls and boys are all dressed in exceedingly expensive luxurious clothes and jewelleries, as they show their finest appearance at the wedding. At another corner of the hall are two incredibly decorative chairs which are set for the bride and groom. In front of the chairs there is a table with stunning ornamental ensembles including gorgeous candles and outstanding flowers. The musicians arrive normally at 7 or 8 pm to quench the thirst of the music lovers, and make the ceremony livelier. At first everyone is shy and reserved
Film Music - Different Types of Atmosphere.
Film Music - Different Types of Atmosphere I have chosen five different types of atmosphere that are found in film music, each one created a different effect and helps the film created the effect that is needed in the film. My chosen atmospheres are: Scary/Tense, Sad/Unhappy, Happy/Jolly, Mystical/Magical and Excited/Action. Scary/Tense Scary and tense music is a common type of music in a lot of films. The films that contain a lot of this type of music, not surprisingly, are horror films. This is because the film is obviously trying to scare you so they need tense music that is quite creepy and eerie. Scary and tense music often has a repeated rhythm either in the background or as the main tune. This sometimes gets faster as well, making you think that something is creeping up on you or getting nearer. The most famous example of this is in the film Jaws, in the parts where the killer shark is just about to strike! This type of music also often uses a minor key to make it sound a bit more sad and serious than happier music. The dynamics in scary music are often very similar. They use a lot of crescendos and diminuendos and accelerandos and rallentandos, as this variation in the music helps to build up the tension. There music has a huge amount of different dynamics because of what the variation does. The instrumentation of scary music is usually orchestral. The string
Compare and contrast the use of melody and rhythm in Sweelink's Pavana Lachrimae, Mozart's Piano Sonata in Bb, and Berlioz's Harold in Italy.
Compare and contrast the use of melody and rhythm in Sweelink's Pavana Lachrimae, Mozart's Piano Sonata in Bb, and Berlioz's Harold in Italy. The three pieces were composed in different periods of music, which shows how melody and rhythm have developed over a spread of over 200 years. The Sweelink was the first of the three to be composed around 1615, there is a falling 4th at the start of the piece in the soprano line portraying sorrow. It has a lot of stepwise movement in ascending and descending scales which also run through to the varied repeats. There are many variations of melodic figurations such as bars 17-18 resembling bars 1-2 but using semiquavers. There is use of melodic imitation for example in bar 16 the top line is imitated in the bottom line in bar 17 where the shape and notes are very similar. The whole piece is very rhythmically active as it mostly moves in semiquavers, and has a regular metre with one chord per bar for most of the piece apart from cadences such as in bar 7 where there are two chords per bar. Rhythmic imitation is used in bars 39-41, where a motif consisting of two quavers and a crotchet are used between two parts. Mozart's Piano Sonata, like the Sweelink is mostly scalic and stepwise but also uses arpeggios. Periodic 8 bar phrases are used like the one starting at the upbeat to bar 15-bar 23 at the imperfect cadence. Motifs are also
The perfect partner.
How does one define 'perfect'? Perhaps the stereotypical glossy magazine cover is the answer, or is it the 'smart, funny and pretty' persona that is widely portrayed by television. But, to speculate, one person's perfect partner is not necessarily that of another's. When it comes to 'perfect' you can only be definite about your own ideal partner. Most young individuals have not yet encountered their 'soul mates', but quite frequently have envisaged what they believe would be 'perfect'. As for me? Let's see... Let's, for no particular reason (yeah, right), call her 'Mariah'. (As in Mariah Carey). My 'soul mate' would be that special some one who is like me. (That, by the way, isn't saying I'm special, despite the fact that I am.) She would be constantly happy, but not annoyingly giggly. She would possess the angelic ability to illuminate even the darkest of rooms, if not for everyone, just for me, while the unearthly talent of lifting the dense shadow of a bad day wouldn't go a miss. Like me, she could be easily annoyed by certain things: dumb questions, people unnecessarily getting in the way, and sheer stupidity. An intolerance of these things matches us perfectly. Of course, this irritability should not be to the extent that she becomes annoying herself. How ironic would that be? If we were both annoyed by the same things, neither of us would commit the offences in
Early Dance Music From Renaissance To Baroque
Music Homework Early Dance Music From Renaissance To Baroque (It has 2 main explanations I found in my dictionary and changed in to my words) End of Middle Ages: the period in European history from about the 14th through 16th centuries regarded as marking the end of the Middle Ages and featuring major cultural and artistic change Classical revival: the cultural and religious spirit that characterized the Renaissance, including the decline of Gothic architecture, the revival of classical culture, the beginnings of modern science, and geographical exploration. The new emphasis on individualism and secularism at this time led to the Reformation. Latin American Dances Salsa's and sambas are very syncopated compositions and the drums are very prominent. The dances are mainly held in festivals and carnivals and they're all extremely happy and lively styles of music. The tango is a very set dance you would picture a lady with a rose in her mouth. The texture of the music is quite thick and the tempo is quite fast also. Dance music From The Club Scene Dj-ing is becoming very well known and extremely popular, almost enough to even overtake live shows with real bands. Dj-ing and sampling are used together a lot of the time and the main features used by a dj are a set of turntables or decks with vinyl records and a synthesizer. Synths are quite old technology now but
Autobiography - This is me.
Autobiography This is me. Who am I? My name is Kishan Gohil, and you are likely to be in entire bewilderment over me for my entire existence is quite convoluted. I would like to give you a warm welcome. So step in-side my world and discover more about my life, full of sports, technology and entertainment. My life started on a rather early, but hot morning on the second day of August in the year 1990 at 1:30am, I was born a proud and sweaty Leo. I weighed 6lbs, and 4oz and I was the youngest born. My parents were exceedingly happy to see me. My parents chose this name for me because of its religious significance; it is another name of my God, Krishna. Krishna was the youngest of King Vasudeva's eight children, six of whom were killed by his wife's tyrant brother, Kamsa. A prophecy had it, that a child of Vasudeva's would kill Kamsa, and this child was Krishna. If one were asked to describe my personal appearance, they would probably describe me as a 4"9', 15 year old, with fair skin and in my opinion, as fair as the colour crème; pointed side burns and short black hair (so that half of my forehead is exposed) that I may tend to spike up on a special occasion, and a very, very faint bar-like moustache As I am 15 years old, I go to a private secondary school - Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College - which is situated on Roding lane South in Chigwell.

Boogie-woogie is a style of blues, which developed from jazz in the early 1900s.
Boogie-woogies Boogie-woogie is a style of blues, which developed from jazz in the early 1900s. Most popular during the 30s, boogie-woogie pieces were usually performed on the piano. Most famous for melodic ostinatos in the bass, syncopated rhythms and improvised, decorative melodies, the style tends to be fast in tempo, but simple in structure. Many boogie-woogies follow the famous 12 bar blues chord pattern: C C C C F F C C G F C C The bass line provides a steady, repetitive pattern, whilst the treble builds a melody using the notes of the scale, but flattening the third and seventh note. i.e. when in the key of C, the notes C, D, E flat, F, G, A and B flat are used to build up the melody. This is a one of the most recognisable characteristics of blues music. To identify a blues piece of a boogie-woogie genre, you must explore the bass line. The most popular bass line used is that of the one below: This shows the bass line in the key of C, (when in the key of D, all the notes would be transposed up on tone etc.) Other bass lines are also used, however this is the most typical. Because these bass lines are all very similar, boogie-woogies is often referred to as 'eight-to-the bar', when in fact it is usually in common (4:4) time. Most boogie-woogies use constant syncopated rhythms. The effect of this'off-the-beat' technique is that the piece seems faster and
Babies and Music
In a world that revolves around "better, faster and stronger" is it surprising that we are so obsessed with advancing our children at such a young age? Music surrounds us wherever we go. A common saying is that a child's brain is like a sponge, ready to soak up anything thrown their way. A human brain is ready for anything starting at the crucial fetus stage. Brain development is imperative the first few years of life. In the first few years of life the brain begins to develop and form connections, these years are among the most important. A fetus inside the mother's womb can take in sound, which starts the early stimulation and development of one's brain. A child, whether inside or outside of the womb, has a great ability to hear sounds, and given the right type of music, it can have a positive effect on children. Classical music can have powerful effects on children even before birth while inside the mother's womb. Recent studies show that: Children exposed to classical music in the womb show a positive change in physical and mental development after birth. In this experiment, fetuses were exposed to 70 hours of classical music during the last week of pregnancy. When studied at six months, theses babies were more advanced in terms of motor, linguistics and intellectual development than babies who received no musical stimulus during pregnancy (Robledo). The fetus Can
