Vltava, from Ma Vlast (My Country)- Die Moldau
A Symphonic Poem that describes the course of the Vltava (Moldau) river,
one of the longest rivers in the Czech Republic, starting from
two small springs, the Cold and Warm Vltava, to the unification of both streams
into a single current, the course of the Vltava through woods, and meadows,
through landscapes where a farmer’s wedding is celebrated, the round dance of
the mermaids in the night’s moonshine: on the nearby rocks loom proud castles,
palaces and ruins. The Vltava swirls into the St. John Rapids; then widens
and flows toward Prague, past the Vysehrad (The High Castle), and then
majestically vanishes into the distance, ending at the Labe (or Elbe, in German).

Listening to Danse Macabre: Danse Macabre is a type of composition called a tone poem. Just like a poem uses descriptive words to illustrate a story or an idea, a tone poem uses music. Here are some of the ways in which you will hear the music composed by Camille Saint-Saens, illustrating the action from the poem: - The harp plucks twelve notes - the stroke of midnight, the hour at which the character, Death comes to start his dance. - The zig-zag of the violin solo is the same character, playing a jig on his violin! - The flutes blow a haunting tune, like the wind blowing through the trees in the cemetery. - As the skeletons dance, you can hear the rattling of their bones on the bells of the xylophone. - The oboe calls out the piercing crow of the rooster, announcing the dawn, and the skeletons return to their rest.
Lift Every Voice and Sing!
Lift Every Voice and Sing- Song Lyrics-
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us March on till victory is won
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee,
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
A group of young men in Jacksonville, Florida, arranged to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday in 1900. My brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, and I decided to write a song to be sung at the exercises. I wrote the words and he wrote the music. Our New York publisher, Edward B. Marks, made mimeographed copies for us, and the song was taught to and sung by a chorus of five hundred colored school children. Shortly afterwards my brother and I moved away from Jacksonville to New York, and the song passed out of our minds. But the school children of Jacksonville kept singing it; they went off to other schools and sang it; they became teachers and taught it to other children. Within twenty years it was being sung over the South and in some other parts of the country. Today the song, popularly known as the Negro National Hymn, is quite generally used. The lines of this song repay me in an elation, almost of exquisite anguish, whenever I hear them sung by Negro children.
