SUMMARY:Bateaux Mouches
DESCRIPTION:Second day of orientation brings us to the Seine\, where we went on an afternoon cruise. As most students are experiencing Paris for the first time\, the cruise allows them to see the big landmarks\, such as the Tour Eiffel\, Concorde\, le Louvre\, and Notre Dame to name a few. \nWe also saw an agriculture protest near l’Assemblée Nationale\, where enormous tractors lined the streets. Welcome to France !

SUMMARY:Provins Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:Every semester\, we take a day trip at the end of orientation. It’s a perfect way for students to spend time together outside of CUPA and explore a nearby French town or city. \nThis semester we visited Provins\, where we went on a guided tour of the medieval city. Provins has an incredible history as a central city of French commerce and trade. We were able to see the remaining medieval architecture\, church\, and prison\, as well learn about the various communities who lived there. \nAfter our tour\, we had a delicious lunch at Vieux Remparts\, where students ate typically French meals\, such as magret de canard\, bavette d’aloyau\, suprême de poulet\, banane rôtie\, and eclair.  \nAfter a few hours of free time to explore the city\, we all headed back to Paris before the evening fell. Another splendid trip !

SUMMARY:Ludwig van Beethoven - Missa solemnis
DESCRIPTION:Monument tardif de Beethoven\, l’imposante Missa solemnis est sans doute la partition qui coûta le plus d’efforts au “grand sourd” : travail opiniâtre et passionné\, pour une oeuvre qui\, au-delà de son sens liturgique\, est un hymne de paix universel. \nComposée entre 1818 et 1823\, la Missa solemnis appartient au corpus retreint des oeuvres du “dernier Beethoven”\, et constitue sans conteste son chef-d’oeuvre liturgique. Dédiée à l’archiduc Rodolphe\, qui en était le commanditaire\, cette partition hors normales est cependant caractéristique du fait que l’ambition beethovénienne\, loins de se soumettre à un genre\, créé ses propres cadres. \nVincent d’Indy ne s’y d’ailleurs trompa pas\, qui écrivit : “Cet art admirable ne serait sûrement pas à sa place dans l’église”. Ainsi\, même s’il adopte le plan traditionnel Kyrie\, Gloria\, Credo\, Sanctus\, Benedictus et Agnus Dei\, Beethoven mêle sans cesse le style sacré avec une dramaturgie symphonique\, obtenant un clair-obscur unique. Attentif à chaque mot du texte\, il en souligne le sens à l’aide d’un figuralisme puissant\, telle la sublime montée ascendante du violon dans le Benedictus. Sublime prière de paix\, l’Agnus Dei oppose l’éclat des trompettes à la douceur vocale\, tandis qu’il couronne de fugues le Gloria et le Credo. Car\, ainsi que le souligne Thomas Mann dans Le Docteur Faustus\, l’ombre tutélaire de Bach plane sur une oeuvre qui n’en demeure pas moins à la fois très personnelle et absolument universelle.
