Hey Kids.......

4/8/2020

 
For my young students AND my students young-at-heart!!  Two favorite works of mine for so many years have been Peter and the Wolf by Serge Prokofiev and The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten (on a theme by Henry Purcell).  I am attaching a link here to my suggestions from youtube, but you may know these works and have your own favorite performance/performers! Peter and the Wolf is a "symphonic fairy tale" written in 1936.  The narrator (David Bowie, in the version I have linked!) tells the story while the orchestra illustrates it.  The Young Person's Gide was written in 1945, commissioned originally by an educational British documentary.  It features the orchestra as a whole, then you will hear the individual sections, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion.  I'm relaxing and enjoying a little listening this evening......join me!
