Hi. My name is Richard Sims. I am a high-achieving 8th grader, and I attend Coan Middle School. I am in Ms. Patrice Powell's General Music class. We are studying various genres of music which includes the following: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, and 21st Century. We were assigned a composer to create an informative webpage. My composer was Antonio Vivaldi. I didn't know of him at first, but he turned out to be a very interesting person. He composed many amazing works that I originally believed were written by someone else. Antonio Vivaldi is a very fantastic composer. During his lifespan, he was able to compose a large variety of outstanding music that remains popular to this day. His music is heard ringing vibrantly in universities, churches, and concerts throughout the world. His history intrigues me, and I would love to learn and share more about him and his fascinating works. If you would like to learn about him too, check out my website!
