There is a pace for all we do and song or chant has a history. <br />For you, the chant is flying and you are really doing it. The IFR check counts and the building hours count. GFI! You are flying!<br />-Craig.Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-58835327394693452592011-06-21T22:54:36.253+00:002011-06-21T22:54:36.253+00:00As a parent volunteer, I taught this song to my ol...As a parent volunteer, I taught this song to my older daughter's class in grade 5, when they were doing a unit on the Middle Ages. After a little help they could understand it, and they had no problem singing it in front of the school. They loved the fact that they could sing about farts without the principal realizing it.<br /><br />Here's a refrain from an even older English poem for you to Google and try to translate: "þæs overeode, þisses swa mæg"<br /><br />The mystery poem it's taken from might console you the next time you hit career bumps of your own.davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194758376900990105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-5528184118018073712011-06-21T22:35:43.854+00:002011-06-21T22:35:43.854+00:00I sang that in college chorale back in the 70'...I sang that in college chorale back in the 70's. We were always challenged to sing things that were so different from the music being played around us.

The idea is to describe the actions of airplanes in terms of things already known, so you get analogies to bird flight and so on. I don't know...

I Googled the song, and stumbled across a modern English translation before I could find another video of it being performed. I won't spoil the fun by giving the translation here. I am, however, pleased to say that I'd already figured out about 2/3 of it just by using the instructions in this blog, plus a little of my own foreign language background. (I'd have never guessed the meaning of <i>Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ</i>" without help, though.) Fun stuff.<br /><br />Turns out that I'm better at translating Middle English than I am at naming new verbs to describe heavier-than-air machines. I can't think of even one.DataPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478857340951784073noreply@blogger.com
