The hit song was used by the media to represent the discontentment that some victims of Hurricane Katrina felt, especially the affected African-Americans. While the song did not necessarily change the minds of many people, it forced them to acknowledge the plight of millions of people undergoing difficult periods while the government ignored them (Suddath, 2011)
With lyrics like "The white people smiling like everything's cool / but I know people who died in that pool / I know people who died in them schools," the media used the song to criticize President Bush's handling of the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Summary: Mass media has become an important part of today's culture that not only entertains but also educates and informs the public to an extent that it is integrated into people's lives (Vivian, 2012)

Another major difference between sacred vocal works and Italian operas was the use of the chorus to heighten the drama and speak for the religious community" (Thornburgh 2). Bach did compose some secular works, such as his Brandenburg Concertos, which were also notable for their orchestration of individual instruments in a manner which many thought paved the way for the Classical and Romantic styles in their use of solo instrumentation (Schmidt-Jones 399)
Classical music, in contrast, tended to use a much wider array of musical formats. Classical forms included that of the symphony, sonata, concerto, and were characterized by far greater unity and cohesion of tone rather than simply 'painting' a picture of a single emotion (Swann 2)
Rather than naturalness, the Baroque stressed ornamentation, artificiality, and technique, including its use of the human voice.

What is the relationship between art and science? How does this relationship inform how you view either/both disciplines?
