You've been introduced to the performing art, that is, Bedrich Smetana's symphonic poem cycle called My Country. In this
project, you'll be using the cycle's beautiful second symphonic poem-The Moldau. All you have to do now is choose one
of two paintings below and compare and contrast that painting with the music.
1. Choose a painting.
Study the paintings below by clicking on the links, and then choose the one you'd like to use for comparison with
Smetana's music.
Choice A: John Constable The Hay Wain
Choice B. J.M. W. Turner The Battle of Trafalgar
2. Listen to the symphonic poem.
Listen to this expressive music again to refresh your memory.
Before you officially compare and contrast the music and the painting, you'll want to learn as much as you can about each
of them. Take some time to research both the musical work and your chosen painting. As you research, take notes
separately about them, including information in these areas:
• the artist and the composer-what is special about them
• subject--what the subject of each is
• historical context-when and where they were created
• significance of the works-why they were created
• theme of the works-what each of the two works symbolizes, stands for, or means
• prevalent emotion(s) of the works-what feeling(s) they communicate
After you've analyzed and researched the music and the painting, compare your two sets of notes. What do the two works
have in common? How are they the same? How are they different? You might want to make a list of the similarities and
differences
Write an essay of no less than 300 words comparing and contrasting the two pieces. Include reference to the following
items:
• the title and artist of each piece
• subject of each piece
• historical context of each piece
• significance of each piece
.theme of each piece
• emotion of each piece
• your opinion on which piece is most effectively Romantic in style, and why you think so.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
