FOURTH WEEK

Monday, 18/02                                      MUSIC:

Remember:

• associative listening (mimic play, language, painting)
• formal listening
• small composers workshop

 1.  ASSOCIATIVE LISTENING

•  Work with "faces" (happy, sad, angry...)
• MUSSORGSKY: picture of an exhibition
• angry + misteryous
• first is dark, he is inside in one haunted house, and he sees a lot of dead people.

 2. FORMAL LISTENING:

•  deep + long notes + disharmonic + suddenly unexpected sounds + instruments = no melody

3. SMALL COMPOSERS WORKSHOP: 

• KATACOMBS
• What can we do with the children?
• We can say to the pupils that they choose two faces and inventing one kind of music.

•  ATRIBUTE MELODIES TO THE ANIMALS
• Compose a melody to fit two or three of the animals on the page.
• Ilustrate by your melody whether it is a heavy or light animal, and if it moves fast or slowly
• Seek inspiration from the animals' own sounds
• Make use of both legato and staccato
• Prepare yourselves to performing your melodies in class

•  CREATE A COMPOSITION BASED ON ONE OF THE PICTURES:

• What happens in the picture? What preceded the situation of the picture, and what is going to happen inmediately after?
• BEFORE: The deer was very happy playing with others animals like a birds, rabbit. And suddenly heards a shot.
• NOW: The deer is hidden behind the plants and the grass.
• THEN: Is not a shot, is a thunder and start to rain. Really he is not in dangerous. 

• Invent a short story of 3 episodes, based on these situations:
• Once upon a time there was a little deer called Bambi. In a sunny day he was playing with all the others animals in the beautiful green forest. There were butterflies, birds, rabbits...It was a very nice day. they were all singing together. 
• Suddenly, there was a loud shot. All the animals stopped playing and went very quiet. the very scared rabbit screamed out loud and started a real panic. Everybody ran away to hide themselves. Bambi, who has the biggest animal had real problems hidden himself, but he found a good place in the brushes. He looked around, very afraid of the shot. All the animals thought there were hunters to kill them. 
• Heaven got really dark. Suddenly something fell on Bambi's nouse, then on his ear, on his cheeks, on his eyes...It started to rain. There was an other loud shot. It was a thunder! Bambi was relieved, it was only a storm and started singing in the rain.

• Ilustrate the story in sound/music, using the instruments. Let the animal sounds inspire you, or use your own voices.


• The video about our composition (Loes, Evy, Ramona and me):

PRESENTATIONS:

Today, the belgyum people, the spanish girl and the two basc people presented their music in their countrys.

He listened Samson & Gert, Scala, Selah Sue, Bongo botrako and a lipdub from Basc Country

COMPARE AND ANALYZE THE VERSES "FEEL":

We continued with the song from Robbie Williams. I analized the first and the second verses:

          - The first verse has a space for a lead vocal (focus on his melody). The music is more transparent. There are not many instruments, only the piano, shaker and a little lower.

          - The second verse is more intense and dynamic. There are more layers and more instruments, like a drums and the guitar.
