“Adagio in A Minor” by Tejo Madhavarapu, 12

Post Published July 7, 2023 by Stone Soup Editors

From the composer: "'In Adagio in A Minor,' the rhythm keeps changing under the same time signature of 9/8, with very few common features between different bars. This piece does not maintain a standard rhythm or use lots of closely related ones, so it sounds mostly free-flowing." The featured artwork is "Keys of Wandering Souls" (iPhone 11 Pro) by Sabrina Lu, 13.

From the composer: "'Vivace in F major' is one of my most special compositions. For one thing, it is my shortest. The bigger reason is that it has a time signature of 28/8, and no other piece which I know has a time signature with 28 in the numerator. This makes the piece very unusual." You can also listen to Tejo's other composition, "Adagio in A Minor," here.

Post Published June 6, 2023 by Stone Soup Editors

The sobbing was faint at first, echoing to me through shut doors. I curiously wandered into my parents’ room in no rush. My mind was still half-asleep, my eyelids drooping, my movements sluggish. At this point, the sun had not even risen. The door creaked open, revealing my parents and brothers anxiously huddled on the bed. Their shoulders shook, and their breathing was unsteady.

Post Published March 22, 2023 by Stone Soup Editors

Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Patterson, is a beautifully-told coming-of-age story. It is, rightfully so, an award-winning novel, with likable characters, a simple yet deeply meaningful plot, and a spectacular ending. The book is told through the eyes of the main character, Jess, though not with his voice. Jess is a young boy who is entering 5th Grade.
