  1. Dear Mr. Montague,

    I like the Red Violin by John Corigliano. It makes me feel sadness. It makes me see a rainy cloudy day at the ocean and a mermaid is looking for someone she misses. I like the singing too.

  18. (Warren Hylton's mom) - I was surprised that The Red Violin actually did sound very scary. Circus Maximus, though, sounded like a bunch of noise in the beginning then turned into recognizable circus sounds. Gotta love a circus trombone.

    Dear Mr. Corigliano,
    My favorite song was the chorus of Fern Hill. Red Violin was not scary but Circus Maximus was spooky. Great work on winning all those awards and still teaching college!
