I was pleased to have the chance to consult on MTH's production of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret in the summer of 2022. I provided voice over's in German and English for the show, translations for the theater's welcome message which was played at the start of the show and worked with some of the principal cast on various aspects of German language found throughout the show. With degrees and career experience in vocal music performance and German, I am happy to work on projects including theater, opera, performance art or other creative projects.

Liedtext: Heut kommt der Hans zu mir, freut sich die Lies. Ob er aber über Oberammergau oder aber über Unterammergau Oder aber überhaupt nicht kommt, ist nicht gewiss. Heut geht die Lies mit mir zum Schützenfest. Ob sie aber über Oberammergau oder aber über Unterammergau Oder aber überhaupt nicht kommt, steht noch nicht fest. Wenn die Uhr zwölfe schlägt, gehn wir nach Haus. Ob wir aber über Oberammergau oder aber über Unterammergau oder aber überhaupt nicht gehn, ist noch nicht raus.

Working with Spanish equivalents of copulative verb forms: be, am, is and are.4/5/2023
A video for beginner's Spanish - A1 level language acquisition. In an early lesson, the focus of this video is use of the infinitive verb estar in the present tense, especially as compared to the use of ser. Both of these stative, copulative verbs translate to English as "to be", meaning that the various forms are equivalents to the words "am, is, are".

Bitte lasst ihr ein Kommentar, wenn sie noch mehr von mir hören wollt. Welche deutsche Lieder möchtet ihr besser lernen? Check out Gundermann's version on youtube! Hier sind die Nullen ganz unter sich. Here the zeros (losers) are completely amongst themselves.
This song was on the radio when I was a kid as were several other pop songs from the early 80's. Here we'll learn the German version which is awesome. Major Tom is piloting a spaceship and experiences complete weightlessness, complete detachment after overcoming the Earth's gravitational forces and he faces death calmly rather than aborting the mission.
Wortschatz (vocabulary): voll = full / völlig = fully, completely, all-the-way losgelöst = let lose, untied, detached schwerelos = weighless / schweben = to float, hover Erdanziehungskraft = Earth's gravitational force überwinden = to overcome / überwunden (past participle of the same) heben = to lift / abheben = to lift off (used for rockets, spacecraft) der Start = the takeoff / die Crew (the crew - off a vessel) das Raumschiff (spaceship) trauern = to mourn das All = the universe, the All. Leave a comment and let me know what other German songs you like or if you like this method of learning German through working with music. Watch the original music video with Peter Schilling singing Major Tom (aka. Völlig losgelöst). Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel! |
Aaron BurnsI'm an entrepreneurial linguist and musician, a European in a former life, and an indefatigable conversationalist (like June). I'm available for hire as coach, teacher, writer, editor, analyst, consultant, marketeer, content specialist, translator, interpreter, MC, facilitator or performer. This blog is a portfolio of my interest and abilities in various languages of which I have extensive knowledge. I am also a student of several other languages that I am less intimately familiar with and they all bring me great joy. I currently hold degrees in Language and Literature as well as in Vocal Music Performance, both fields in which poetics and interpretation are no strangers. Archives
