Answer:
Propaganda, the Denarius of Julius Caesar, Augustus of Primaporta and Emperor Justinian and his attendants all serve a propaganda function.
Explanation:
The denarius of Julius Caesar was the first time the portrait of a living person was featured on a coin. It shows a profile of Caesar on the front side and Venus on the reverse side. It was used as propaganda to assert Caesar's claim of being descended from Venus.
Augustus of Primaporta sought to use the coinage as propaganda to normalize his image as an imperial leader, and serves an integral role in the success of his rule. It depicts Augustus as a holy man and employs many pagan symbols in respect to the Roman priesthood which he presided over.
The mosaic of Emperor Justinian shows Justinian as a ruler of the church and state, Justinian holds a gold plate which was his offering to the church in place of the communion bread. The propaganda function it serves was a way of showing people his presence in the church because a lot of people believe Justinian and his wife never even go to church.
Explain the move from the single-melody chant to multiple melodies sung or played at the same time (polyphony). Describe the stages of this development. Do you think that some radical monk started this movement? Explain why you think this move to polyphony was such a giant step in music history.
Answer:
The movement from the single-melody chant, or monophony, to multiple melodies sung or played at the same time, or polyphony, was largely born out of a need to use multiple voices from the Greek times. The first unison sung was the octave, and this type of singing came out of a need for boys and men to sing the same melody. This process is known to ancient Greece as magadizing. I do not think some radical monk started the movement, but rather that it was a gradual process in which a group of people realized that it sounded pleasant to have multiple voices sing different melodies at the same time. The move to polyphony was a giant step in music because it opened up many possibilities about what can be done with music, as opposed to the traditional monophonic music, by adding layers of sound and depth to the music.
