This is a homophonic chorale work that has a timbre featuring a piano and all four vocal parts- soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. It was performed by both the Chamber Singers and the high school symphonic choir. This piece has a conjunct melody and a consonant harmony. There are many crescendos and decrescendos, it includes legato notes, and the meter is quadruple. Additionally, the tonality is major, the tempo is adagio, and the dynamics are piano. “Lass dich nur nichts nicht dauren” made me feel…
will also assist Janet in learning phonological difference (Colorin Colorado, 2007). The differences Janet would need to recognize consist of learning the Spanish phonic elements with a negative transfer, such as, h is a silent letter, ll is a consonant digraph and v is pronounced /b/. Moreover learning English phonic elements with zero transfer is just as important such as, long…
seeks. She coins her worldly hopes as an “advantage apparently about to be increased” (3-4) but quickly follows with the anticlimactic “the hopes are frustrated and…depressed by disappointment” (3-5). By pairing the uplifting “A” consonants with the depressing “D” consonants, Stacey conveys her shattered hopes to…
Nasal resonance and airflow can also be impacted by cleft lip and/or palate. The abnormal nasal resonance and airflow cause hypernasal and hyponasal speech. Hypernasal speech occurs when there is too much airflow coming through the nasal cavity making sounds more breathy. Hyponasal speech occurs when too little airflow comes through the nasal cavity making the sounds sound as if the child has a plugged nose (Nagarajan, Savitha, & Subramaniyan, 2009). Velopharyngeal dysfunction is the…
Many relationships come and go, the ones that stay matters only by love from other people. The tone of the song is told by how the author feels about the piece. The author feels that love at first sight really happens and is a good thing to happen. For example, “And now looking in your eyes / I feel in my heart / The start of something new” (Gerrard and Nevil line 17-19). By being able to look and someone and feel a connection between each other is a wonderful thing. But the only thing to do…
On this mastery test, Jaiden got 77 words correct and scored on a strategic level. Two of his strengths were consonants sounds and long vowel sounds. An addition, one of his weaknesses was lowercase letter names. He had issues with the letters X, W, and Q. Teachers can display an alphabet chart and talk about letters in other contexts, making sure the children can…
of Articulation, Second Edition (GFTA™-2). This test measure a systematic measure of articulation of consonant sounds. In addition to that assessment I would do a speech, language sample that would provide me with an overall sense of Lucy language ability and also a hearing test. The five question that I would ask is: 1. How…
In many of Emily Dickinson’s poetry, disruptions of conventional literary standards frequently occur. While this includes different aspects of poetry, such as theme, perspective, diction, and other poetic devices, her experimental syntactic constructions are particularly notable. One of Dickinson’s poems, “A Day,” provides an example of her prolific usage of punctuations and syntax, and this contributes to successfully conveying the theme of the poem. The poetry portrays a vivid, detailed…
Composers have been coming up with new and inventive ways to expand the realm of choral music for centuries. New instruments and techniques are constantly being developed, but many of these techniques fail to secure a lasting foothold and gain traction. Many techniques of the twentieth and twenty-first century incorporate additional dissonances to compose chord resolutions, chord successions, and chord progressions that are atypical of classical music before 1910. Composers continue to push the…
predispositions and the brain is a sponge for cultural information. Something that sounds the same or similar may be conceived differently. A research done by a neuroscientist concluded that if you give infants a choice of consonant music or dissonant music they would enjoy listening to consonant music more. Fetus reacts to music. And also, more researchers found out that newborns come to the world knowing something about music because they sound strongly musical as they cry and make sounds.…
