Erik Satie

Erik Satie(1866-1925) a French composer, was born in Honfleur (Normandy). He studied at the School of Music in Paris and worked as a pianist in a cafe. Between 1880 and 1890 he composed many works for piano, among which stand out Gymnopédies (1888) and Gnossiennes (1890). He understood that his knowledge of counterpoint was not strong enough,so when he was 40 he decided to study with the French composer Vincent d'Indy, and Albert Roussel at the Schola Cantorum.
He returned to composition, mainly dealing with piano works, often well above with titles that seemed to have connection with surreal music, for example, Flasques préludes pour chien United Nations (1913), Burocratique Sonatine (1917) and three Morceaux en Forme of Poire (1903, for piano four hands) and they are really six pieces for piano.
He was against the lead character and complexity of the music of his time, and he was also an innovator in the use of certain harmonic resources, all these set the future trend of French music.

BIOGRAPHY

LADY DI : Diana Frances Spencer

Diana, Princess of Wales, (Diana Frances; née Spencer; 1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Her sons, Princes William and Harry, are second and third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other Commonwealth Realms.

A public figure from the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles, Diana remained the focus of worldwide media scrutiny before, during and after her marriage. This continued in the years following her death in a car crash and in the subsequent display of public mourning. Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy were mixed but popular interest with the Princess endures. The Coroner's Inquest reported its conclusion on 7 April 2008 that Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed by the negligent driving of Henri Paul, the driver of the Mercedes in which she was travelling, and by the pursuing paparazzi.

Michael Jackson

I´m going to write about Michael Jackson, because I love his music.
He didn´t have a happy childhood: his father hit him and made him and his brothers work hard. Since he was a child, he had got a great voice and was charming, so people loved him. Soon he left the family group, The Jackson´s Five, to become a solo star.
He had a great career, he became The King of Pop and sold millions of records. He loved children, so he donated a big part of his money to help them. He even built a thematic park beside his house, Neverland.
Because of that a lot of people considered him a weird person and they critized him.
He died on 25th June 2009, when he was 50. It was unexpected, beause he was healthy and was about to start a tour. The worst part of that was that many people, above all on television, critized him. I think that the only thing that could matter was that The King of Pop had died.
