desert land of Egypt Rain is relatively scarce, and the summers are scorching hot Nevertheless the strip of land, known as the Cultivation, on either side of the Nile is reputed to be one of the most fertile places in the world Its rich black soil is the result of accumulation of silt deposited by the annual flooding of the Nile thousands of years ago From June to October, the river overflowed its banks Modern damps were then constructed to control the flooding The floodwaters left behind a rich sticky black mud which made it suitable for the cultivation of crops As long as the soil was well irrigated, two or three crops could be grown in one season Its rich soil led to the growth and rise of the brilliant civilization of the ancient Egyptians on the Nile valley more than 5000 years ago The earliest Egyptians had acquired the skills to till the land along the banks, drawing along the Nile became wealthy, they embarked on projects of digging ditches and constructing dams to control the floods In about 3100 BC, the whole Egypt was united under the reign of King Menes He and his descendants made up Egypt's first ruling family, or dynasty His rule led to the great development of the arts like writing, painting, architecture, and crafts Egyptian power and influence were to last for the next 2000 years The Egyptian kings had absolute powers The king possesses all the land, and the peasants had to surrender part of their crops to the king An army of officials and scribes did the task of collecting the exact amount of due from the individual farmers Crops and livestock were often seen at the storehouses surrounding the royal palaces In return for their uphill task, the king paid his officials and dishes out funds for huge irrigation projects Egypt's trade with the

From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable Page 71 K THI TH TT NGHIP TRUNG HC PH THễNG NM 2011 Mụn thi: TING ANH-H nm accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as "pleasant', "sad", "lively" The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next Certain films had music especially composed for them The most famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for D W Griffith's film
