Thank you for taking a leap of faith, uprooting our lives, and moving with me to Tallahassee to be my support system while I pursued my master’s degree. Thank you for the late-night cups of tea, for leaving the light on when you needed to sleep, and for locking yourself in the guest room so I could have uninterrupted writing time. Thank you to my advisor and major professor Dr. VanWeelden. You have been so generous with me in giving me so many opportunities to learn and improve. Thank you for trusting me to teach Conducting and assisting you in Secondary General Music and Senior Choir. Thank you for your patience throughout this thesis writing process. You have been such a role model for me. Thank you to my committee members, Dr. Fredrickson and Dr. Bugaj, for your kindness and generosity. I enjoyed my time in both of your courses and felt an academic connection to the both of you. Dr. Fredrickson, you were the first professor in my experience at FSU to listen and accept my outspoken opinions, thank you. Dr. Bugaj, you were the first professor to encourage me to share these opinions in scholarly writing. You gave me the tools to express myself with my knowledge rather than my emotions, thank you. Thank you to librarian extraordinaire, Laura Gayle Greene for always being available and willing to sit together and help. Thank you for your constant words of encouragement and your periodic check ins, you are such a thoughtful and kind soul. Thank you to my family and friends who dealt with the great distance between us and always let me have the space I needed to be successful. Thank you for holding me up and keeping me tethered. I love you all. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... vii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................. viii 1 INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Operational Definitions .................................................................................................... 2 1.2 Purpose and Research Questions ..................................................................................... 2 2 PATRIOTIC SONGS IN AMERICAN MUSIC EDUCATION .................................................. 4 2.1 History of Patriotic Music in the Classroom.................................................................... 4 2.1.1 World War I ............................................................................................................. 5 2.1.2 World War II............................................................................................................ 6 2.1.3 Following The War.................................................................................................. 8 2.1.4 Post-September 11, 2001 ........................................................................................ 9 2.2 Patriotic Songs in Modern Music Education Curricula ................................................. 10 2.2.1 McGraw Hill’s Spotlight on Music Music Studio..................................................11 2.2.2 Online Learning Exchange Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett with Alfred ............................................................................................................................. 12 2.2.3 John Jacobson’s Music Express ............................................................................ 12 2.2.4 Quaver Music ........................................................................................................ 13 3 HISTORY OF AMERICAN PATRIOTIC SONGS ................................................................... 17 3.1 The American Revolution, 1763 – 1783 ........................................................................ 18 3.1.1 Liberty Song .......................................................................................................... 18 iv 3.2 The New Nation, 1783-1815 .......................................................................................... 23 3.2.1 Hail Columbia ....................................................................................................... 23 3.3.

One Name on the Wall Engraved on the face of the new Alden Veterans Memorial (designed by our own Conrad Borucki) are the names of seventy-one men who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country from Moses Fenno in the War of 1812 to Brett Gornewicz in Afghanistan in 2012. Each of those names is a son, a brother, a husband or a father. This is the story of one of those. was asked by Supervisor Milligan and the we searched census listings, service listings, Memorial Committee to help verify the names on service honor rolls, to no avail.

  • God Bless America
    www.singalongwithsusieq.com The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 2 America the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above thy fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim’s feet Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw Confirm thy soul in self-control Thy liberty in law! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! 3 O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Repeat last 4 lines 4 You’re A Grand Old Flag You're a grand old flag You're a high-flying flag And forever in peace may you wave You're the emblem of The land I love The home of the free and the brave Every heart beats true Under red, white and blue Where there's never a boast or brag But should old acquaintance be forgot Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

  • War of the Words Thesis on the Representation of The
    War of the Words Thesis on the representation of the Islamic State by the Obama administration Frank Kleef University of Amsterdam Supervisor: dhr. prof. dr. R.V.A. (Ruud) Janssens Student no.: 10547045 20-06-2017 Abstract The Obama administration used a strategy that actively sought to delegitimize the enemy in order to pursue its efforts to counter the Islamic State and portrayed it as a manifestation of evil. In this thesis I intend to argue that by representing the effort to degrade and ultimately destroy the Islamic State as a conflict between freedom and evil, the Obama administration utilized a very idealistic rhetorical framework. Problematically, the approach taken by the Obama administration to counter the Islamic State really had more to do with the United States itself than the Islamic State, the alleged object of the conflict. Although Obama was frequently lauded for deviating from the rhetorical idealism of the Bush administration, analysis shows that the rhetoric of the Obama administration only changed in style rather than in substance. This thesis aims to contribute to the current academic discourse considering the general reflection on the Obama administration. More specifically, about its Middle East policy and its comprehensive effort to counter the Islamic State. Consequently, it remarks on the problematic approach with which the Obama administration sought to react to the situation in the Middle East and the Islamic State. By doing so, I intend to contribute to the understanding of the Western discourse in order

  • Old Glory, a Symbol of Freedom
    THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had much wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name … He said: “I’ve been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I – me, an individual, a committee of one. Pledge – dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self-pity. Allegiance – my love and my devotion. To the Flag – our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Where ever she waves, there is respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody’s job. Of the United – that means that we have all come together. States – individual communities that have united into 48 states, 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that’s love of country. Of America And to the Republic – a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. For which it stands One nation – meaning, so blessed by God. Indivisible – incapable of being divided. With liberty – which is freedom and the right of power to live one’s life without threats or fear or some sort of retaliation. And justice – The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
