Asgn 23: Harrison Inocencio

        This playlist is made up of some of my favorite pieces a like to listen to for studying. Classical music is my favorite for when I have to concentrate, and while you may not recognize some of the names, the themes of the songs will sound very familiar.

1. Rhapsody in Blue

                By George Gershwin, the piece is one of the most diverse pieces ever written, and I like to start out with it in because of its upbeat nature, which helps me get by the initial reluctance to start studying.


2. Appalachian Spring

                This composition is by Aaron Copland, and I decided to put it second because while it is upbeat, unlike Rhapsody in Blue it isn't in an unusual key, and is a good way for me to transition into the themes of the next songs as well.

3. Fanfare for the Common Man

                This is also written by Aaron Copland, and because of its fast pace, it is a good way to reenergize when you reach the half way point in your studies.

4. Pachelbel's Canon

                Written by Pachelbel, this piece is an absolute classic, and while its normally used for ceremonial reasons, it's a great addition to this playlist.

5. . Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

                True the name may sound unfamiliar, but Beethoven's Eine Kleine, you will recognize immediately, and since I've played it before in concerts and such it also has a very personal connection with me.
