Title: "Maple Leaf Rag"
Composer: Scott Joplin
Genre: Ragtime
Notes: The ragtime genre was developed and became popular from around 1895-1918. Ragtime is marked by the use of "syncopated" rhythms, or rhythms that bring emphasis to parts of the beat that usually aren't as strongly heard. Scott Joplin became famous in 1898 when "Maple Leaf Rag" was published, and his work is recognized as being influential in later forms of music. Ragtime lost popularity around 1917 when jazz really began to take the stage, but it experienced various revivals throughout the 1900s.

**Disclaimer: While I believe that all of the SQUILT music chosen is appropriate for classroom use, some songs may not completely align with a Christian worldview. Songs done by related artists are also not guaranteed to be in line with the values of a Christian worldview. Parents should help their children develop discernment in this area.**
