The Fishin’ Song, these are the words that lulled me to sleep each night as a child. My dad’s deep, gruff voice never sounded as stern as he half whispered, half sang the words, slowly and rhythmically.

The origins of The Fishin’ Song goes back four generations to my great grandfather who sang it to my grandfather and to my…

Personal Philosophy After completing the leadership inventory, I came to find that I had equal amounts of each of the four leadership styles.

I did not see myself as being directive or adaptive, so I was surprised at the results. By having equal amounts of all four leadership styles, I will be able to use all the different characteristics of these leadership styles to aid in my…

The courante (“running” or “flowing”) was a French dance whose choreography included bending the knee on the upbeat or offbeat and rising on the beat, often followed by a step or glide. The music is in moderate triple or compound meter and always begins with an upbeat. In many courantes, including the two in this suite, the meter shifts back and forth between 3/2 and 6/4, sometimes with different voices simultaneously implying different meters. Although the composer included two courantes in…

End of Unit: Diversity Have you ever just ask yourself the question “What really is ‘normal’?” In the novels, Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix, and Alex Rider: Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz the protagonists live less than “normal” lives. In Among the Hidden, the protagonist Luke Garner does not officially exist because the government does not allow families to have more than two children in fear of a global food shortage, so Luke is forced to stay in his home, and the most he’s…

Jeanie with the light brown hair (published in 1854) by Stephen Foster is performed by a tenor with piano accompaniment. The piano introduces the work with a short prelude starting on a high note then descending in conjunct intervals, briefly ascends from a low note to a note close to F. The piano then varies the prior phrase by descending from a high note with eighth notes then sustaining a note close to A. Following the prelude, the tenor begins the first section on with “I” on the high note…

The first piece I will depict is “Eyeglasses Duo”. This a duo played with a viola and a cello, which were performed by James VonValkenburg and Wei Yu. It began with the viola playing energetically, followed by the cello. Throughout this piece, it sounded like the two performers were chasing each other. The piece was played with two movements that have a playful tune. Each of the instruments played the them but the other performer would accompany. In this duo, the second movement is rarely…

Ellens dritter Gesang is written in strophic form like many other religious songs, repeating the same melody for every verse. This places importance on the lyrics and forces the listener to focus on the text rather than the melody. The melody is nevertheless attractive and simple, thus is easy to sing in church or at a religious gathering. Just like in many religious pieces, the song implements plagal cadences to create a greater effect of holiness and righteousness (Audio reference 4). The song…
