Classical
The word classical has several meanings. In general, these meanings refer to some past time,
works of that era or later works influenced by that time. Classical things are often seen as
ordered and part ofhigh culture or agolden age,and contrasted to earlier or later things which
may be seen as chaotic, elaborate or emotional. Classical music isart musicproduced or rooted
in the traditions ofWestern music (bothliturgical andsecular). It encompasses a broad period
from roughly the 11th century to the present day.[1]
The central norms of this tradition became
codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as thecommon practice period.
Hypnotic (also called soporific) drugs are a class ofpsychoactives whose primary function is
toinducesleep[1]
and to be used in the treatment ofinsomnia,and in surgicalanesthesia.When
used in anesthesia to produce and maintain unconsciousness, "sleep" is metaphorical as there are
no regular sleep stages or cyclical natural states; patients rarely recover from anesthesia feeling
refreshed and with renewed energy. Because drugs in this class generally produce dose-
dependent effects, ranging fromanxiolysis to production of unconsciousness, they are often
referred to collectively as sedative-hypnotic drugs.[2]
Hypnotic drugs are regularly prescribed for
insomnia and other sleep disorders, with over 95% of insomnia patients being prescribed
hypnotics in some countries.[3]
Many hypnotic drugs are habit-forming and, due to a large
number of factors known to disturb the human sleep pattern, a physician may instead recommend
alternative sleeping patterns,sleep hygiene,and exercise, before prescribing medication for
sleep. Hypnotic medication when prescribed should be used for the shortest period of time
possible.[4]
Improvisation is a state of being and creating action without pre-planning. This can be when an
individual or group is acting, dancing, singing, playingmusical instruments,talking, creating
artworks, problem solving, or reacting in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's
immediate environment and inner feelings. This can result in the invention of new thought
patterns, new practices, new structures or symbols, and/or new ways to act.
The time signature (also known asmeter signature,[1]
metre
signature,[2]
bar signature,[3]
or measure signature[4]
)is a notational convention used
inWesternmusical notation to specify how manybeats are in eachbar and whichnote
value constitutes one beat. In a musical score, the time signature appears at the beginning of the
piece, as a time symbol or stacked numerals, such as or 3
4 (read common time and three four time, respectively), immediately following thekey
signature or immediately following theclef symbol if the key signature is empty. A mid-score
time signature, usually immediately following abarline,indicates a change of meter.
Tone is aliterary compound ofcomposition,which encompasses the attitudes toward the subject
and toward the audience implied in a literary work.[1]
Tone may be formal, informal, intimate,
solemn, somber, playful, serious, ironic, condescending, or many other possible attitudes. Each

piece of literature has at least one theme, or central question about a topic, and how the theme is
approached within the work is known as the tone.
Gutturalspeech sounds are those with a primaryplace of articulation near the back of the oral
cavity. In some definitions, this is restricted topharyngeal consonants,but in others includes
somevelar anduvular consonants.Guttural sounds are typicallyconsonants,butsomevowels articulations may also be considered guttural in nature. Although the term has
historically been used byphoneticians,and is occasionally used byphonologists today, it is now
more common in popular use (as an imprecise term for sounds produced relatively far back in the
vocal tract) than as a technical term inlinguistics.[1]
A verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word, is aword (part of speech)that insyntax conveys
an action (bring, read,walk, run, learn), an occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being
(be, exist, stand). In the usual description ofEnglish,the basic form, with or without
theparticle to, is theinfinitive.In manylanguages,verbs areinflected (modified in form) to
encodetense,aspect,mood,andvoice.A verb may also agree with theperson,gender,and/ornumber of some of itsarguments,such as itssubject,orobject.In many languages, verbs
have a present tense, to indicate that an action is being carried out; a past tense, to indicate that
an action has been done; and a future tense, to indicate that an action will be done.
Ingrammar,an adjective is a 'describing' word; the mainsyntactic role of which is
toqualify anoun ornoun phrase,giving more information about the object signified.[1]
Adjectives are one of the traditional eightEnglishparts of speech,althoughlinguists today
distinguish adjectives from words such asdeterminers that formerly were considered to be
adjectives. In this paragraph, "traditional" is an adjective, and in the preceding paragraph, "main"
is.
An adverb is a word that changes or qualifies the meaning of averb,adjective,other
adverb,clause,sentence or any other word or phrase, except that it does not include
theadjectives anddeterminers that directly modifynouns.Adverbs are traditionally regarded as
one of theparts of speech,although the wide variety of the functions performed by words classed
as adverbs means that it is hard to treat them as a single uniform category.
Adverbs typically answer questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what
extent?. This function is called theadverbial function, and is realized not just by single words
(i.e., adverbs) but byadverbial phrases andadverbial clauses.
The word YET functions sometimes as an adverb and has several meanings: in addition
("yet another cause of trouble" or "a simple yet noble woman"), even ("yet more expensive"),
still ("he is yet a novice"), eventually ("they may yet win"), and so soon as now ("he's not here
yet"). It also functions as a coordinating conjunction meaning something like "nevertheless" or
"but." The word yet seems to carry an element of distinctiveness that but can seldom register.

John plays basketball well, yet his favorite sport is badminton. The visitors complained loudly about the heat, yet they continued to play golf every
day.
In sentences such as the second one, above, the pronoun subject of the second clause ("they," in
this case) is often left out. When that happens, the comma preceding the conjunction might alsodisappear: "The visitors complained loudly yet continued to play golf every day."
Yet is sometimes combined with other conjunctions, but or and. It would not be unusual to
see and yet in sentences like the ones above. This usage is acceptable.
The word FOR is most often used as a preposition, of course, but it does serve, on rare
occasions, as a coordinating conjunction. Some people regard the conjunction for as rather
highfalutin and literary, and it does tend to add a bit of weightiness to the text. Beginning a
sentence with the conjunction "for" is probably not a good idea, except when you're singing "For
he's a jolly good fellow. "For" has serious sequential implications and in its use the order of
thoughts is more important than it is, say, with because or since. Its function is to introduce the
reason for the preceding clause:
John thought he had a good chance to get the job, for his father was on thecompany's board of trustees.
Most of the visitors were happy just sitting around in the shade, for it had been along, dusty journey on the train.
Be careful of the conjunction SO. Sometimes it can connect two independent clauses along
with a comma, but sometimes it can't. For instance, in this sentence,
Soto is not the only Olympic athlete in his family, so are his brother, sister, and hisUncle Chet.
where the word so means "as well" or "in addition," most careful writers would use a semicolon
between the two independent clauses. In the following sentence, where so is acting like a minor-
league "therefore," the conjunction and the comma are adequate to the task:
Soto has always been nervous in large gatherings, so it is no surprise that he avoidscrowds of his adoring fans.
Sometimes, at the beginning of a sentence, so will act as a kind of summing up device ortransition, and when it does, it is often set off from the rest of the sentence with a comma:
So, the sheriff peremptorily removed the child from the custody of his parents.

h. Until about 4000 BCEall literature was oral, but, beginning in the years between 4000 and3000 BCE, writing developed both in Egypt and in the Mesopotamian civilization at
Sumer. From that time on there are records not only of practical matters such as law andbusiness but increasingly of written literature. As the area in which the habitual use of
writing extended over Asia, North Africa, and the Mediterranean lands and eventually
over much of the whole world, a rapid growth in the composition of written literatureoccurred, so that in certain parts of the world, literature inwriting has to a large extentbecome the normal form of expression for storytellers and poets.
