As far as I can remember, I know next to nothing about him, so I am looking forward to reading, listening and learning along with my kids this term. Here's the information I've gathered so far. I'll plan to do composer study much the same way we always have.

In the old days, I used to try to help y'all out by linking to youtube vids and making printables and such, but now there are mama's way quicker than I am. I'm so thankful for AO users over at the forum... they were a HUGE help by doing all the work this time around! See helpful links.

One generous AO user put a Brahms youtube playlist together for us! Thank you Islavet!
And another helpful AO user made a pdf with short bios of all this year's composers, from Harriet Brower's book, The World's Great Men of Music: Story-Lives of Master Musicians. Thanks Keac!

Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival :: August 2015 :: CMBC

Summer is winding down to August, and many of us are gearing up for a new school year.

How are things going for you?

I sincerely hope you've had plenteous opportunities to relish in your favorite people and places.
Seen bumps along the way? I pray that you've found consolation and rest.

What will the rest of this month look like for you? Are you still planning? Have you already started?
We'd be delighted if you'd share what's going on in your homeschool in August.

I hope you are getting some sweet Mother Culture moments in this weekend. Mother Culture is the "soul cultivating" she does for herself. It can look like a good book, some sweet alone time, some solitary handcrafts, a ladies brunch or anything that enriches her. I'll pray that we all get some of these moments this weekend -@ellieeugenia | thank you @leahvboden for this peaceful image. That drink looks amazing. #mothercultured #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason
