This module, intended for grades 4-8, introduces students to Germanic folk music and culture using folk songs that celebrate being outdoors. Recommended for springtime.
Introduction
These three folk songs, which celebrate the joy of being outdoors when the weather is fine, are a good introduction to German folk music for primary school students. They are most appropriate for springtime. They can be used as part of a music class, prepared for concert performance, or used as part of a social studies unit on Germany.
Some suggestions for introducing the songs:
Have the students locate Germany on a globe or world map. Discuss the central European climate (cold and snowy in the winter, and dark because of the latitude; warm, and pleasant, with long days, in the summer) and compare it to your climate.
Also point out Austria and Switzerland on your map, as other countries where many people speak German. (If necessary, clarify the difference between Austria and Australia.) You may wish to tell the students that the German in the
Swiss Song is Swiss German, a dialect that is quite different from the standard language in Germany. If your students are English speakers, you can discuss the differences that arise when the same language is spoken in different countries. For example, can they name any of the differences between English as it is spoken in England, Australia, and the U.S.?
Have a discussion of favorite activities for enjoying the outdoors. Tell the students that a favorite activity in this part of the world is hiking in the countryside, particularly in the spring and summer. This has been popular in Germany for so long that there are many German folk songs about enjoying the outdoors, and also more than one song comparing life to a hiking journey.
Ask the students if they enjoy any outdoor activities. If possible, arrange for a field trip to take a walk together and enjoy simple outdoor delights such as flowers and birdsong.
If available, show pictures, or have handout pages, of German or Austrian countryside or of traditional German hiking clothes, the short leather pants called Lederhosen (pronounced LAY-der-HOE-zen).
Performance notes
Each song can be sung in German. Simplified guidelines for German pronunciation for young English speakers are provided following
Student's Delight .
If you prefer to sing them in English, singable translations are also provided.
The tunes, German lyrics, English translations, and piano accompaniment provided here are all considered to be in the
public domain in the U.S. This means you may copy, distribute, alter, and perform these versions (other versions may still be copyrighted!) without permissions. All were taken from Max Spicker's
the Songs of Germany: Eighty-One German Folk- and Popular Songs , published in 1904.
If you don't read music but would like to learn the tunes, listen to the midi files provided. If you make a nice recording of any of these arrangements that you would like to share with those trying to learn this music, please contact the author.
The
Swiss Song is quite high, in order to make the chorus sound more like real yodelling. Here is a lower version of the tune, for anyone who has trouble singing very high.
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
