Mindanao Sketches comprising of two acts - I. Offering to the Gods and II. A Village Festival Dance was composed by National Artist for Music Col. Antonino R. Buenaventura in 1947.

What were major events that occurred during the Enlightenment?

During the Enlightenment, there were major intellectual movements and spiritual movements. Old knowledge was renewed and combined with new thinking developed through science, philosophy and religion. This movement is also known as the Age of Reason which occurred during the 18th century.


Is the enlightenment best seen as a single movement or as a series of related movements?

The core movement was based in France and Voltaire and Descartes are probably its best-known representatives. But even that core movement was heavily influenced by famous non-French Enlightenment thinkers like Immanuel Kant, Spinoza and John Locke. At the same time there were several other Enlightenment movements, like in Scotland, Russia, Poland, North America and Spain. So it's really a series of related movements in the 18th century.

What is a symphony with two movements called?

Whatever the person that wrote it wants to call it. Symphonies can have all sorts of variations in number of movements. Stravinsky wrote a piece he called "Symphony in Three Movements". Mozart's "Prague" Symphony (No. 38) has only three movements and is sometimes called the symphony without a minuet. Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony only has two movements, thought presumably it was not planned that way. In the final consideration, it's best simply to go with whatever the composer called it.
