As Kathrin grew up, she had many musical impressions from her surroundings and hobbies. Some of them I will get into in the main points of this essay. In this essay I will be looking at Kathrin’s musical identity’s evolution out from the traditions she was raised with, and acquired through her life and also the sense of how the musical influences affected her then and now. I will also be looking at different repertoires as examples to further my explanations and evidence to how Kathrin was…

Rome, negotiated a pact with the refugees – becoming the Empire’s allies and forming the eastern guard in exchange for a new home. However, the Romans viewed the Goths as uncouth barbarians who occupied their territory. They were oppressive and cruel patrons whose delight was making Visigoth life miserable going so far as forcing the Goths to trade their children for dogs to eat. The Visigoths responded by plundering nearby Roman colonies. They then crushed the Roman army in the Battle of…

Invasion by Barbarian Tribes The most straightfoward reason would be military losses against outside forces. Barbian groups had reached beyond the Empire’s borders. In 410, the Visigoth King Alaric took all the wealth from Rome. The Empire spent the next decades under constant threat. It was raided again in 455 and in 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed the emperor. No Roman emperor would ever rule from…

abundant region (Johnstone). In the 300s AD, barbaric tribes began to move beyond Rome’s borders and into the kingdom that would soon fall. The tribe posing the loftiest threat to Roman society at this point in time seems to have been the Goths. The Goths were so intent on disabling Rome that by 410 AD, they had invaded the city of Rome and debilitated it to the point of utter defenselessness; the ruler of the Visigoths, Alaric, is solely responsible for leading this ransacking mission…
