Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer. He wrote some six hundred romantic songs as well as many operas, symphonies, sonatas and many other works.
Schubert’s “Ave Maria!” was not written with religious practices or the Catholic Church in mind. The piece was considered a masterpiece, and, unlike the vast majority of his compositions, it found a publisher before his death. Though not written for liturgical services, the music proved to be inspirational to listeners, particularly Roman Catholics, and a Latin text was substituted to make it suitable for use in church. It is today most widely known in its Latin "Ave Maria" form. Although the song is a prayer, Schubert’s “Ave Maria!” was not written

The Catholic Church is basically all I know about religion, even though, as I grow up, I when to visit another church, just followings my curiosity, but is been hard for me to follow any other church rules beside catholic.
But can also observe that the catholic are ruling the world in terms of power, what the Vatican recommends to other nations is almost a law. The Pope is like a ‘’King’’ living with access to a lot resources, money and power, when there so much poverty in the world, that’s something that I can’t understand.
Now that I’m an adult there moments where I do have some conflict between my traditional beliefs and what the catholic church is in reality, based on the bible and other religion, there a hugged different from what I was told when I was younger of bee catholic. They’re very confusing for someone to try to be following their culture's beliefs now days.
The Catholic Church is one of the most powerful and influents in the world but few contributions to the needy, in my opinion, the Catholic Church is just a name, few actually take the Catholic doctrine in its entirety, plus all the scandals in which priests involved have been involved including
If we travel back to the year 1500, the Church (what we now call the Roman Catholic Church) was very powerful both politically and spiritually in Western Europe. For some time the Church was seen as an institution weighed down by internal power struggles. Popes and Cardinals often lived more like kings than spiritual leaders. Popes claimed political as well as spiritual power. They commanded armies, made political alliances and enemies, and, sometimes, even waged war.
Not just any institution, the Catholic church yields power and influence on a global scale. Yet again, we see the presence of both an oppressor as well as the oppressed. The Catholic Church has been viewed as the ‘defender of all that is right and just’ throughout history because it claims that many of its unholy actions were carried out in the name of God. As we study history to make sense of the present, we can often become naïve, accepting ‘facts’ at face value. With that said, we form ‘silences’ just like in the historical narrative
The Catholic Church is the oldest major religion in the Western world. Littered with peace, love, and humility, along with violence, turmoil, and controversy this institution has seen, heard, led, and had influence over the majority of everything and everybody that there was in the last two millennia. This has included ordinary people, Kings, Queens, Generals, Nobleman, Royalty, and everything in between, and has endured since the beginning of the modern era, Anno Domini. They great spiritual and monetary machine created a powerful reign over the entire world’s Catholics, and remains so to this day. For the purpose of background for my visit to a Catholic Church, being Presbyterian, I did historical research before I visited. I
Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer, a native of Vienna. His early musical training in piano and violin lessons came from his father, and his older brother, who were both school teachers (Brown p. 752). Later, he studied under the Viennese court composer Salieri (Brown p.753). After college he became a teacher at his father's school. He detested the teaching profession because it took time away from his compositions. His most prolific year was 1815 during which he wrote 145 songs, including the famous Erlkönig.
Well I grew up in a Catholic family with a grandmother who was very spiritual, and even had her own room with hundreds of saints, and she would pray to them for different requests. I never really understood church or many of the Bible stories. The church services were so discipline to me, and felt like a punishment because of the standing and kneeling all through out the service. I moved away with my mother and siblings and we ended up staying at this homeless shelter that was ran by a non denominational church, so part of our agreement to stay was to attend this church. I found this church to be open to anyone and everyone, and during our time their I got baptized. I enjoyed this church. From that time I never really considered myself Catholic, because I could never
During the 14 and 1500’s, the Catholic Church was the major powerhouse on the world stage. The church became the largest land owner, giving them massive amounts of economical power. With limitless amounts of power for the church, they were even more powerful than the king himself; they had their own taxes, laws, and they even could excommunicate the king if they chose to do so. The church made royal officials fear it while also gaining the support of the people, sometimes unwilling support was given. Indulgences were purchased in the hopes that their loved ones would be saved from Purgatory or even Hell. The church’s goal used to be helping all people and preaching the word of God, but now the church was corrupt and blinded by power and money, only one man could initiate the change needed, Martin Luther.
Franz Schubert was born in Vienna, Austria in 1797. Growing up Schubert learnt to play piano, violin and viola. As well as being gifted with the ability of these instruments, his voice “earned him admittance to the Imperial Chapel choir school.” [2] This is where he developed his theory and compositional ability. When Schubert passed away in 1828 he left behind “over 600 lieder (German art songs), 9 symphonies, 15 string quartets, and hundreds of other different genres of pieces, including operas, masses, and piano works.” [3] one of these works is ‘Erlkönig’.
My parents and members of the community where I lived growing up all went to a Catholic church and I identify with the Catholic branch of Christianity. However,
Both of my parents descend from a long line of devout Catholics and as a result, religion played an important part in my life My sisters, and
Within my own family, there were different doctrines. My great-grandmother was Pentecostal, my grandmother is a Baptist and my mother is an Atheist. While everyone seemed to have different belief systems, I participated in them all. I had to learn to adapt to each religious institution. In one church I was allowed to wear pants and women could also be pastors; whereas, in another, women could only wear full length dresses and were not allowed in the pulpit.
I focused on Christianity, simply because it was what I knew best. I studied other branches of Christianity, trying to learn if maybe the Catholic Church had gone wrong somewhere and someone else had gotten it right. I wanted to make sure I was following the most correct religion I could find.
Growing up in a Catholic household there were many rules and beliefs I was taught to just accept. As I got older most I truly believed and tried to live my life by. Others I questioned. I started high school at Holy Family school my freshman year as a varsity cheerleader thinking I was “on top of the world.” it was the first time I had finally felt I had some sort of freedom.
Franz Schubert composed the German Lieder, Gretchen Am Spinnrade, in 1814. This composition is one of Schubert’s pinnacle compositions, which introduced the world to the idea of the Romantic Lied, veering away from the already existing Classical Lied. Observing the form, rhythmic structure, key modulations and dynamics with relation to the text, Schubert paints a beautiful emotional drama for the listener allowing them to dive into the thoughts and emotions the woman, Gretchen, is experiencing while longing for her lover, Faust.
(2) Schubert was one of the most prominent composers in the Romantic era. He was the first composer to live off only the money he got from composing. He wrote many compositions during his short lifetime, especially art songs (“OnMusic”).
Growing up, my parents taught me the basic of Roman Catholicism because it was the right thing to do according to our ancestors. We weren 't religious, but rather lived by a good moral code and felt spiritual in our family. Church and
