What is the song whose chorus goes Did you ever go sailing down the river of memories?

Did You Ever Go Sailing "Did You Ever Go Sailing?" by Albert Brumley There's an old ramshackle shack where in dreams I wander back And listen to the southern melody T'was the place where I was born on a bright October morn And it's nestled at the end of my river of memories Did you ever go sailing down the river of memories To the little log cabin that's nestled among the sycamore trees Where the sunshine is cheery and nothing in the world grows dreary That's my cabin at the end of my river of memories There's a mother old and gray at the end of memory's way I'll meet her there tonight among the trees With a smiling welcome she so sweetly beckons me To the cabin at the end of my river of memories When the twilight shadows fall many childhood voices call Back again to the days that used to be And in answer to their prayer I will soon be sailing there To the cabin at the end of my river of memories

Who wrote the lyrics for Albion's adagio?

They imagined new lyrics for this song; depicting a passionate and heart wrenching story of

How you know how fast or slow the music?

There is two ways to tell how fast or slow music is. First of all by the words that are written to the top right of the sheet music and randomly throughout. These words will be like vivace (very quick and lively), Allegro (A lively tempo), Allergretto (A little slower than allegro), Andante (A relaxed, walking tempo), Moderato (Moderate tempo), and Adagio (A very slow tempo). There is many more of these, but these are some of the most basics. Secondly there will be a metronome marking. What this is a little note, a equal sign, and a number. The note shown is what will get the beat and the number is what you sent your metronome to. some of the speeds I listed above would be equal approximately to these times. Allegro=120-168, Moderato=108-120, and Adagio=66-76

Can a Neapolitan sixth chord be used as a seventh chord and if so what is it called?

Yes. (More variants and substitutions of the N chord like n [Neapolitan minor chord], N-parallel etc. were also common in XIXth century music.)

Although it does not occur in the Classical period, the Neapolitan major 7th chord (and its inversions) was widely used during the Romantic era. Two examples are Berlioz: Requiem/Kyrie (the 7th can still be regarded as a pedal point) and Hugo Wolf: Der verzweifelte Liebhaber (the chord can be considered as independent).

In jazz, cadences like Dbmaj7-G7-C also occur fairly frequently. In this case, the Nmaj7 chord retains its subdominant function.

The Neapolitan chord with a minor 7th is enharmonic to a leading-tone German sixth chord which loses its (secondary) subdominant function and, in C major, Db7(more precisely, its enharmonic counterpart)-C becomes a new dominant-tonic relationship (see Tritone substitution). Thereby, augmented sixth chords which are transposed up by a 4th and get resolved to the tonic are also called Neapolitan dominant chords (even if the augmented 6th is not a real 7th).

Moreover, the presence of a _real_ Neapolitan dominant 7th chord (in which the 7th must be resolved downwards) involves flattening the tonic itself (the 7th will be Cb in C major/minor), greatly weakening the frames of tonality. Therefore, at least in classical music, such chords are mostly used for modulation (e.g. in the 3rd mvt. of Beethoven's Violin concert, where it occurs in its 3rd inversion), so, in this case, they also lose their original function.

Therefore, most occurrences of Ndom7 should either be regarded as dominants (in cadences like Db7 C7 in jazz and popular music) and not subdominants, or its inversions should be "flipped" enharmonically if you do not want to get out of key.

However, in popular music, there are also quite a few cadences used for modulation which can be interpreted by assuming that they include something like a Ndom7 (or even a n7 minor 7th chord). Example: C A79b D-7 Gb/Ab Db leads from C major to Db major. In this case, D-7 is the n7 in Db.

What are the lyrics to song invisible faith by canton spirituals?

Invisible Faith

I wasn't there when He walked on the water

I wasn't there when He made the blind man see

I wasn't there when He preached up on the mountain

I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.

I wasn't there when He taught them how to pray

I wasn't there when He calmed the raging storm

I wasn't there when He fed the five thousand

I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.

I wasn't there when He died out on Calvary

I wasn't there when He rose from the grave

I wasn't there when He ascended on up to Glory

I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.

Oh I believe that He is coming back for me

And I believe that He is coming back for you

Out of all the things you may say about Him

I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.

Why cant you be buried by whatever church you like?

Depending on what church you belong to, if one at all, I believe that you can. I'm a Christian, and I suppose that you can choose whatever church you want, but I know that you should be able to choose the pastor/preacher/speaker, but this is assuming that you know that you will die soon, which isn't a positive thought.
