Architecture
Architecture is the art of building structures. The term covers the design of any structure for living or working in: houses, churches, temples, palaces, castles; and, as such, the style of building of any particular country at any period of history. For example, the civilization of ancient Egypt provided the pyramids, massive monuments of exact symmetry with decorative sculptures and wall painting. Examples include Karnak and tombs of the Valley of the Kings.
The great example of classical Greek architecture is the Parthenon in Athens.
Notes: temple – храм ; tomb [tHm] – могила
4.18 Read the text and ask questions about the famous architects and painters.
Le Corbusier. Pseudonym ['sjHdqnIm] of Charles E. Jeanneret (1887-1965), Swiss-born French architect. His works include the Palace of the Nations, Geneva and the town plan for Chandigarh, India.
The great Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) wished to give visible form to every emotion and used brilliant unnatural colours to express his inner passions, even in something as simple as a pot of sunflowers.
Rene Magritte (1898-1967) painted dream-world scenes filled with symbolism and humorous couplings of illusion and reality.
Gaudi Antonio (1852-1926) is a Spanish architect noted for his style. His Church of the Holy Family in Barcelona was begun in 1883 and is still under construction.
4.19 Read the questions, then read the text and answer the questions.
1.When and where did music originate? 2.What are the main genres of music? 3.What is the role of music in other arts? 4.What is the role of music in our life?
MUSIC
Music is one of the oldest arts. People probably started singing as soon as language developed. Many ancient peoples including the Egyptians, Chinese, Babylonians and the people of India used music in religious ceremonies. The first written music dates from about 2500 BC.
Nowadays there are many various musical genres. Among them are classical music, country music, rock music, rhythm and blues music, reggae, electronic music, punk, hip-hop, rap and so on. All attempts to divide music into different genres are artificial. Musicians tend to produce music in any style without concerning themselves with which genres they are working in. For example, Gershwin’s ”Rhapsody in Blue” is referred to both jazz and classical music.
Music plays a major role in other arts. Opera combines singing and orchestral music with drama. Ballet and other forms of dancing need music to help the dancers. Films and TV dramas use music to set mood and emphasize the action.
Music plays an important part in all cultures and social activities. Many people perform and listen to music for their own satisfaction. Singing in a choir or playing a musical instrument in a band can be very enjoyable. Music provides people with the way to express their feelings.
Notes: a choir [kwaIq] – хор
an attempt – попытка
to emphasize – придавать выразительность, выделять
