Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your
hearts,as your fathers did in theday of
temptation in the desert, when they tempted Me
in their extremity,they tested and saw my
works.Come, let us adore him. I was close to
this generationfor nearly forty yearsand said
These always err in heartBut they have not
known my waysto whom I swore in my angerIf
they shall (ever) enter into my rest...Christ
is born to us Come, let us adore him. Glory be
to the Father, and to the Son,and to the Holy
Ghost. As it was in thebeginning, is now, and
ever shall be,world without end. Amen.

Come, let us adore him.Come, let us exult in
the Lord, let us rejoice in God, our
salvationLet us fall down before his face,
confessing, and rejoicing in himwith

King over all godstherefore the Lord will not
reject His peoplebecause all the ends of the
earth are in his hand,and he observes the
heights of the mountains.Come, let us adore
him. Because the sea is his, and he made
it,and he fashioned the dry places with his
hands(All Kneel)Come, let us adore, and fall
down before Godlet us weep before the Lord, who
made us,because He is the Lord our Godand we

La deploration de la mort for Johannes Ockeghem
Desprez Anonymous
Woo-nymphs, godesses of the springs, Skilled
singers of all nations, Change your clear and
lofty voices Into sharp cries and lamentations.
For the harsh molestations of Atropos Have
inescapably ensnared your Ockeghem, Music's very
treasure and master, Who henceforth no longer
escapes death, Of whom it is a great loss that
earth covers him. Dress yourselves in clothes of
mourning, Josquin, Brumel, Pierchon, Compere And
weep great tears from your eyes, Who have lost
your good father. Ongoing Chorus Rest eternal
give to them O Lord, And let the perpetual light
shine on them. May he rest in peace. Amen
Quick Fact The Composer is unknown because at
this time in history music was said to be a gift
directly from god and therefore it didnt make
sense to label it with the composers name as it
was actually gods music afterall.
Age of Exploration 1500-1600 AD

Who was John Lennon? Could he be considered a
modern philosophe?
1980 John Lennon shot dead Former Beatle John
Lennon has been shot dead by an unknown gunman
who opened fire outside the musician's New York
apartment. The 40-year-old was shot several times
as he entered the Dakota, his luxury apartment
building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, opposite
Central Park, at 2300 local time. He was rushed
in a police car to St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital
Center, where he died. His wife, Yoko Ono, who
is understood to have witnessed the attack, was
with him.

Who was Tupac Shakur? Like John Lennon he was
also shot and killed. While his songs often
tackled impotant issues like gun violence and
youth violence.
Tupac Amaru Shakur was an American artist
renowned for his rapping and hip hop music, as
well as his movie roles, poetry, and his social
activism. He is recognized in the Guinness Book
of World Records as the highest-selling rap
artist, with over 75,000,000 albums sold
worldwide, including over 50,000,000 in the
United States alone.1 Most of Shakur's songs
are about growing up around violence and hardship
in ghettos, racism and problems in society.
Shakur's work is known for advocating political,
economic, social, and racial equality as well as
his raw descriptions of violence, drug and
alcohol abuse, and conflicts with the law. Many
fans, critics, and industry insiders rank him as
the greatest rapper ever.
LAS VEGAS (CNN) -- Tupac Shakur, the rapper whose
raw lyrics seemed a blueprint of his own violent
life, died Friday from wounds suffered in a
drive-by shooting. He was 25.

Ghetto Gospel-Tupac Those who wiiiiish to follow
me (my ghetto gospel)I welcome with my
haaaaaaaaaandsAnd the red sun sinks at last,
into the hills of goldAnd peace to this young
warrior, without the sound of gunsVerse
OneIf I could recollect a-from my hood daysI
sit and reminisce, thinkin of bliss on the good
daysI stop and stare at the younger, my heart
goes to 'emThey tested with stress that they
underAnd nowadays things changeEveryone's
ashamed of the youth cause the truth look,
strangeAnd for me it's a firstWe left 'em a
world that's cursed, and it - hurtsCause any day
they'll push the buttonAnd all come in like
Malcolm X or Bobby Hutton died for nuttinDon't
it make you get teary, the world looks
drearyWhen you wipe yo' eyes see it
clearlyThere's no need for you to FEAR meIf you
take your time and HEAR me, maybe you can learn
to CHEER meIt ain't about black or white cause
we humanI hope we see the light before it's
ruined, my ghetto gospelChorus
Tell me do you see that old lady, ain't it
sadLivin out of bags, plus shes glad for the
little things she, hasAnd over there there's a
lady, crazyGuess who's givin birth to a, baby?I
don't trip and let it fade meFrom out of the
fryin pan, we jump into another form of
slaveryEven now I get discouragedWonder if they
take it all back, will I still keep the -
courage?I refuse to be a role modelI set goals,
take control, drink out my own bottlesI made
mistakes, but learned from every oneAnd when
it's said and done, I bet there's got to be a
better oneIf I upset you don't stress, never
forgetThat God is up in this with me yetI feel
his hand on my brainWhen I write rhymes I go
blind and let the Lord do his, thangBut am I
less holy?Cause I chose to laugh and front, and
drink a beer with my homiesBefore we find world
peaceWe gotta find peace within the war in the
streets, my ghetto gospelChorus
1980-90 Generation X and Y

The MTV All-stars was a large group of famous
artists formed by MTV. They released What's
going on A song dedicated to the awareness of
human rights and social activism. Music as a
medium was as an important way of spreading ideas
in the past as it is today.
Someone made a request for this great cover of
Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On by MTV All Stars to
raise money for AIDS victims worldwide. Artists
in the song include Bono, Gwen Stefani, The
Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, Britney
Spears, Destiny's Child, Ja Rule, Nelly Furtado,
Diddy, Alicia Keys, Nelly, Nas, Eve Fred Durst.
The song was recorded right before September 11,
and when it came to shooting the first video,
the main idea revolved around 9/11 instead of
AIDS.

what's going on I'll tell you what's going
onNelly What's going on 'cross the seas? Every
minute a child dies by this disease, In record
numbers, indeed, Got mommas crying out, pleasemy
baby, hold on My child ain't done nothing wrong,
Still I want to holler, ask them why they don't
bother, Oh no, oh no, Make me turn to my father
and ask him why they all got a trapped soulNas
I can feel what was bothering Marvin, why his
words forever remain, Dealing with these modern
day problems, cause of ignorance surrounding me
and my constituents. Too many infected, Too many
lives diminishing, Nobody safe, Protestants,
Jews, Blacks and Whites, Latinos and Asians, Pray
together, Less fight, We better unite, As
genocide and chemical war, And the rich and the
poor, know that God delivers a cureEve It's a
shame our reality is devastating, People praying
for a cure, dying while they're waiting. Ask the
Lord for the comfort and the strength to face it.
All the kids with dreams won't get the chance to
chase it. Makes me sad Think about the lives they
would've had, Think about the orphan babies got
no moms and dads. How can we sit back and not try
to make it right? We gotta come together, We
gotta fight for life.Fred Durst (of Limp
Bizkit) Somebody tell me what's going on.
(What's going on?) We got human beings using
humans for a bomb. But everybody wanna live.
Don't nobody really wanna die. You feeling me,
right? (right) I can't be watching people die
(Die) and watching people cry. Let me break it
down for a minute. If there's enough room here
for you and for me there's plenty of room for
some humanity. All artists, at various times
Somebody tell me what's going on, What's going on?
