Écossaise

Écossaise (in French: Scottish) is a type of contradanse in a Scottish style - a Scottish country dance at least in name - that was popular in France and Great Britain at the end of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th. The écossaise was usually danced in 2/4 time.

The musical form was also adopted by some classical composers including Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven and Frédéric Chopin who wrote a number of Ecossaises for the piano, which are recognized for their lively rhythm.

This music usually has significant dynamic contrast — it will use fortissimos and pianissimos very close together. It has a unique dynamic energy to it. They sometimes have a central tune which some of the strains are based on. One by J. N. Hummel is in the second volume for piano in the Suzuki Method.

Larger Than Life

by: Axxis

Feel the beat - hear the sound
Feeling so excited
Blazing eyes all around
Are watching me this night
Fade away reality
Feeling like a child
Another world that set me free
My heart is beating wild
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
You wanna see in my eyes
A hero, an idol for you
...I'm larger than life
All the towns I've seen
Many unknown places
Yellow, red, bland and white
All the foreign faces
Countries all around the world
Borders lost their meaning
Supersonic aeroplanes
We sat inside and dreaming
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
All that you see in my eyes
Am I really an idol
Am I - larger than life?
Blazing eyes!
All your looks let me live and survive
And you - you keep me alive.
You're dreaming and screaming
