Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, 1868 (requiem for soloists, chorus, and orchestra). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXU9vqVdudM

Research the work, the life of the author/artist, and the period. You will then create your analysis. This process of analysis will require you to discuss the events or innovations that define the historical period when the work was created, analyze a theme or stylistic characteristic of the period that is reflected in the work, and finally analyze the work’s or author’s/artist’s/composer’s contribution to the humanities.
A. Analyze the accepted work selected from the “Task Works” found in the web links section by doing the following: 1. Describe the historical events or innovations that characterize the period in which the work was created (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs). 2. Analyze how this work reflects a theme or stylistic characteristic from its period (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs). 3. Analyze the work’s or author’s/artist’s/composer’s contributions to the humanities (suggested length of 1-2 paragraphs).
B. When you use sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, provide acknowledgement of source information for any content that is quoted, paraphrased or summarized. Acknowledgement of source information includes in-text citation noting specifically where in the submission the source is used and a corresponding reference, which includes the following points: • author • date • title • location of information (e.g., publisher, journal, website URL)
C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

• What do you see or hear? Tell your reader or audience about what you are seeing.
• What does it look or sound like?
• Describe it for your reader or audience.
• What might what you see or hear symbolize?
• Think about the deeper meaning of what you see or hear.
• What might be the hidden meaning of what you see or hear?
• What might the work’s creator want you to see beyond the obvious?
• What larger take-away message might s/he be conveying?
• What might be the significance of what you see or hear to the field (literature, music, architecture, poetry, dance, theater, etc.)? • Does what you see stand out as representative of the field?
• Does what you see stand out as representative of the writer, artist, choreographer, architect, etc.?
• Does what you see provide an example of one or more innovations?
• What might be the significance of what you see or hear to the period you are studying?
• Does what you see stand out as representative of the time period?
• Does what you see provide an example of one or more innovations in that time period? Why is this work important in a larger historical and cultural context?
A. Analyze the acceptedwork by doing the following: 1.

Romanticism

Select one artist from each of the following movement to research:
Romanticism:
o Joseph Wright
o William Blake
o Sophie Fremiet

Once you’ve selected the 10 artists you would like to focus on, you’ll need to research answers to the following seven questions or question groups:
1. What’s the year of the artist’s birth (and, where applicable, death)?
2. Where was the artist born? Where did he or she create the majority of his or her work (if at a different location than this place of birth)?
3. What medium did the artist use? Did he or she use more than one main medium?
4. Which art movement did the artist contribute to? If he or she contributed to more than one movement, where did this artist make the greatest impact?
5. What are some of the artist’s most famous works of art? Choose one of these works. In what ways is the piece characteristic of the movement specified above? (Include an image of the chosen piece.)
6. What challenges, if any, did the artist face that may have affected his or her work? What was happening in the world at that time that influenced the artist’s work?
7. What’s innovative about the artist’s work for that time period?
You’ll then write an APA-formatted essay that contains a title page, a brief introduction and conclusion, in-text citations supporting your research, and a reference list. Answer each question using complete sentences. The essay should be a minimum of 1,200 words. However, most students finish the project in about 2,000 words.
