PLN Week 6: What happened to Sesame Street?

Greetings fellow educators.  The subject of this week's first post has been in my arsenal for quite some time.  This is an old Sesame Street clip involving several animated circles of different colors.  The music is a Philip Glass composition.  I think that the animation is paired quite appropriately with the music and is a good visual representation of what is happening in the music.  I use this video to demonstrate the minimalist genre.  It is a good representation of the formulaic method involved in minimalist composition.  I also use it to show my students what Sesame Street was like when I was a kid.  The video is linked and embedded below.
