J.S. Bach Yo Yo Ma Cello Suite #1
Today we listened to this piece in my sixth grade music class, just the first section of the suite, and one of our students wrote this poem for the assignment. It is really cool!
The clapping sounds like thunder,
the music light and jittery,
turns ominous then happy,
it sounds like sitting with a warm blanket
near a fire in winter,
now the music is deadpan,
the hunter stalks about,
but the wolves are safe,
the spring is coming,
the bees are buzzing,
if you look close,
you can see their footsteps in the air,
gone behind a cloud,
never seen again.
Youth is short and sweet.
