I have recently acquired a gaste buch signed by Floyd du Pont in Franfurt in 1930. He is wishing someone named Toni Hass success with (her) Revue. I would like to learn more about du Pont. I believe it is the same du Pont aa the one whose music is here at this site. Great drawing of Du Pont's...

commented:
Well, clearly there is no interest in any honest feedback. Too bad. I stand by what I have said. You have the potential to really learn and deliver SEE if you'd get to a class with a real SEE teacher, read the Roman-lettered pages in the front of the SEE book, and view other videos with fluent...

Finally! Someone has not rushed the opening into stacatto jack hammering. Bravo. Spencer never intended the piece to be rushed. I have heard so many renditions that would have her turning over in her grave.

More brisk than it already is? You've got to be kidding. Spencer never intended singers to race through the opening and hit "you numberless infinities" like staccato jack hammers. The piece is so reverent and magnificient, why so fast?

commented:
I agree, the piece is beautifully sung, but why on earth does EVERYONE RUSH the opening? Spencer never intended that. You get to "you numberless infinities" and everyone is tripping overthemselves to rush it out and it becomes incoherent staccato jack hammering... too bad.

commented:
With all due respect, this is why SEE has such a bad name. Although most of the signs themselves are correct, the lack of essential visual features renders this example void of any fluency or meaning. SEE is more than just a string of signs from the "yellow book". PLEASE get to a class in whic...

Her rendition of the message is interesting, but has nothing to do with the song. If you want to see an outstanding rendition of this song, go to Jason's version. Search "Firework (in ASL)". Now that's inspiring ASL that communicates all of the actual message.
