Unit 1 DB: In the PinesCompare and contrast two of the different versions of “In the Pines” from this week’s required listening.  As you listen, consider the form and mood and the way each singer approaches the song.  Discuss their biographical and geographical situations, styles of singing, and their adaptation of the song.  What emotions are being evoked?  How are they evoking them?  What characteristics of folk songs can you recognize as you listen?
