Free SQUILT Download - Dvorak Serenade for Strings
Monday, March 31, 2014 at 5:00AM
It's time for another free SQUILT download.
The Romantic Era was full of beautiful, lush music. As we listened to Romantic Music in Classical Conversations last week, I told the children it's "kissy kissy" music. This era was all about the expression of intense emotions.
Many of the stories about the composers of this era are dramatic and exciting, too. Truth be told, this is probably my favorite time period of music.
Antonin Dvorak (pronounced "dvor-zhack"), born in 1841, was perhaps one of the most prominent composers of this era.
This free SQUILT download leads you and your children through Dvorak's Serenade for Strings, the 4th movement. (If you are in CC, you will notice this is the piece discussed in week 22 of Cycle 2.).

I love this resource you have created and shared with other CC families. My ancestors are from Bohemia, so I have really enjoyed learning about Dvorak this semester!
Love this simple method for teaching music! Thank you for your hard work for the musical and non-musical teachers alike! And thank you for this great free sample! I will use it tomorrow in my class!
