    Commission (art)

    In art, a commission is the hiring and payment for the creation of a piece, often on behalf of another. Artwork may be commissioned by private individuals, by the government or businesses.

    In classical music, ensembles often commission pieces from composers, where the ensemble secures the composer's payment from private or public organizations or donors.

    Commissions for public art

    Throughout history, it has been common for rulers and governments to commission public art as a means of demonstrating power and wealth, or even for specific propaganda purposes.

    In ancient Rome, large architectural projects were commissioned as symbols of imperial glory. The Roman Coliseum for example, was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian. Public statuary was widespread, depicting mythical and heroic figures. The frieze that is carved into the Marcus Column, located at the Campus Martius, depicts the figure of Victory, and would have been commissioned to honour successful military campaigns waged by Marcus Aurelius. Ancient Roman culture was anti-intellectual and held artists in low esteem, in contrast to ancient cultures such as the Greek or Babylonian. Despite this, however, the sheer amount of surviving artworks commissioned at the height of the Roman Empire are a testament to the rulers' recognition of art's effectiveness in influencing the public's opinions about its civilization and its government.

    Ship commissioning

    Ship commissioning is the act or ceremony of placing a ship in active service, and may be regarded as a particular application of the general concepts and practices of project commissioning. The term is most commonly applied to the placing of a warship in active duty with its country's military forces. The ceremonies involved are often rooted in centuries old naval tradition.

    Ship naming and launching endow a ship hull with her identity, but many milestones remain before she is completed and considered ready to be designated a commissioned ship. The engineering plant, weapon and electronic systems, galley, and multitudinous other equipment required to transform the new hull into an operating and habitable warship are installed and tested. The prospective commanding officer, ship's officers, the petty officers, and seamen who will form the crew report for training and intensive familiarization with their new ship.

    Prior to commissioning, the new ship undergoes sea trials to identify any deficiencies needing correction. The preparation and readiness time between christening-launching and commissioning may be as much as three years for a nuclear powered aircraft carrier to as brief as twenty days for a World War II landing ship. The USS Monitor, of American Civil War fame, was commissioned less than three weeks after launch.

    Irreplaceable Love

    by: Commissioned

    There was a point in my life time when I'd just gone astray
    From my normal caring state of mind
    Doing things usually wouldnt do
    Saying things I wouldnt say
    Personality of all I had to find
    For we all go through moments where hes hard to find
    I still fall victim to the point of no return
    Thats why its nice to know that your right by my side (la da da da da da)
    And your love for me will never ever turn (no ooh)
    Chorus:
    Your the one, my strength, my reason why I walk around cool
    Now I know (now I know)
    That ur love is irreplaceable (come on sing)
    Thought that I can do without the things that you do how you do it all for me
    Now I know (I know)
    That your love is irreplaceable (oh oo oh)
    Verse 2:
    I fell apart of the scene
    Went through such an akward phase (mmm)
    Thinkin that I could solve my problems on my own (thinkin I can do it on my own)
    Frustration started 'cuz things didnt go my way (la da da da da da da)
    Failed to realize your love helps get my by
    And in the dawning moment came upon my mind
    Somehow travels end of darkness I saw light
    And you refuse that you are there to ease my plite
    Bringing faith again
    To help me through it all
    Chrous
    Verse 3:
    Cant bear without you
    You've got a special kind of love
    That keeps me handlin
    Makes everything alright
    Makes life worth living
    I've never felt so sure about anything in my life
    But I know your love is so real
    Ya give me piece of mind (mind O yeah) (whoa)
