The $1000.00 Challenge

Let the class listen only once to this song. Only six lines- in English! Offer a thousand dollars to the student who can repeat the lyric back. Remind the class that the lines are, as is customary in the Baroque style, repeated many times.

As Steals The Morn Upon The Night

As steals the morn upon the night,
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.

The point is this: that we hear music, but really have problems LISTENING.
