      1.-Keeping a live old traditions

SHAKESPEARE PROJECT

1-What do you know about Shakespeare?
   William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. Known at times as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), Shakespeare is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most celebrated of universal literature.


2-And about the music of this historical period? (I give you one clue: together, we will play two "pavans").

Around the fourteenth century the medieval culture begins to transform thanks to the first Italian humanists, turning into the classical world with new values.

The Renaissance is defined by a set of features that can be grouped into three blocks: the recovery of classical Greco-Roman culture, the appreciation of the human and the search for idea perfection.

PAVANA´S PROJECT

1- Do some research on the "pavan" (3 or 4 lines are enough).
     It is an ancient dance of Italian origin, of slow movement and in binary compass. At the end of the 16th century, the use of interpreting, after the pavana, the music of one or more dances, of an opposite nature to the first one, was introduced. In Italy, these dances that followed were known by the name of Saltarello.

2- In your own words, try to express the feeling you get listening to this music.
     These songs make me feel relaxed, calm, and they make me think about how they lived in that era acording to the music that they listen.

First stanza from Pink Floyd -"Wish you were here"-

So, so you can appreciate,

closeness from distance

centimetres from kilometres

Can you tell a sweet glance?

from a long hot hug

Never give up with your love, 

´cause you can regret after all...

Their sales surpass the 300 million albums sold worldwide. The group consisted of drummer Nick Mason, keyboardist and vocalist Richard Wright, bassist and vocalist Roger Waters and lead guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett, who became the first leader David Gilmour joined the group in December 1967, replacing Syd Barret

THEME:

GENDER:

The genre of this song is "progressive rock". As in their previous album, The Dark Side of the Moon, the band used different sound effects and synthesizers, softened with the acoustic guitar, They also used wine glasses filled with different amounts of fluids to record a series of sounds by running their finger along the edges of them.
