Luego un capitulo uno que pertenece al marcoreferencial el cual esta compuesto por: el contexto histórico de las bandas de marcha en el mundo y en Colombia y la propuesta pedagógica principalmente. Después el capitulo dos que es la sistematización del componente histórica el cula tiene: antecedentes de la propuesta de formación, motivación de la propuesta, gestor de la propuesta, misión yt visión de la propuesta, objetivos general y específicos operativos de la propuesta, cobertura geografía, tiempo cronológico y beneficiarios. En consecución esta el capitulo tres que es la sistematización de l componente metodológico de la propuesta, donde encontramos: descripción del tipo de actividad educativa, relaciones pedagógicas, plan de estudio de la propuesta, programación y las relaciones interinstitucionales y administrativas. luego encontramos el capitulo cuarto donde se encuentran los análisis y las conclusiones, bibliografías y como ultima parte los anexos a dos grandes lideres del movimiento bandistico y las graficas de la caracterización, CONCLUSIONES: En conclusión, esta práctica educativa llevo a buscar sistematizarla, ya que el material sobre bandas de marcha en Colombia es bastante limitado y escaso. De hecho, en la investigación desarrollada por el autor, se encontró que la mayoría de países de Centro América ,Venezuela y Brasil, tienen un desarrollo bandistico más conceptualizado y amplio y que compartimos algunas bases en nuestros procesos, pero la gran riqueza musical que posee Colombia, la poca participación de las agrupaciones a nivel internacional, la mala fama que se ha creado en comparación con otros formatos musicales, la falta de oportunidad en capacitación de los directores de las bandas de marcha dejan sentado un vacio conceptual y analítico sobre las practicas junto con los procesos de formación, en este sentido este documento se constituye en una herramienta de trabajo para la formación para directores de bandas. Esta sistematización recolecto la mayor cantidad de datos posibles sobre la historia y el desarrollo de las bandas de marcha, además, se entrevisto grandes personalidades de mucha trayectoria y respeto del medio bandistico para que contaran según ellos como ha sido la evolución del movimiento en nuestro país, La participación de los directores participantes también fue eficaz para el intercambio de saberes entre el grupo vinculándose con sus agrupaciones y tomando experiencias vividas. Es de satisfacción del autor y la comunidad saber que esta experiencia dio los resultados esperados, muchos de ellos demostrables en cada una de las agrupaciones, definitivamente la formación que adquirió cada director hizo posible que cada banda mejorar su interpretación, color musical, desempeño instrumental y afinación que es uno de los mayores problemas de este tipo de agrupaciones, además, que algunos de los directores participantes se presentaran en las nuevas cohortes de la profundización de la licenciatura en la universidad y ya estén haciendo parte activa en estos procesos de formación. Cuando se inicio la pregunta de investigación que dio el verdadero origen a este proyecto, se quería que fuera parte de la licenciatura en música en el énfasis en dirección de conjuntos instrumentales de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, ya que muchos egresados no tienen la experiencia ni el manejo de este tipo de agrupaciones y a saber de la cantidad de bandas existentes y la demanda laboral que acarrea (pero desafortunadamente manejada o manipulada solo por algunos que conocen como manejar estas agrupaciones pero sin la educación musical correspondiente), se llego a la conclusión que conllevaría otras dinámicas y proporciones y se debía empezar por algo más pequeño de mejor manejo. Lo cual tuvo excelentes resultados y demostró que hay necesidad de seguir capacitando a los demás directores y fortalecer el movimiento de bandas de marcha. FINALMENTE Se logro la sistematización de forma organizada, veraz e integral; se identificaron, registraron y analizaron los componentes históricos y metodológicos de la propuesta y se ejecutaron los contenidos propuestos de la siguiente manera: Se construyo el marco referencial que fue el que permitió entender el contexto histórico de las bandas de marcha a nivel nacional y a nivel internacional para dar comienzo a la propuesta de formación de los directores participantes en los talleres de formación. Se identifico y se registro el componente histórico de la propuesta de formación dirigida a los ocho directores de banda de marcha de la localidad de San Cristóbal (Bogotá) en el año 2.010. Se identifico y se registro el componente metodológico de la propuesta de formación dirigida a los ocho directores de banda de marcha de la localidad de San Cristóbal (Bogotá) en el año 2.010. Y por último se analizaron los componentes histórico y metodológico de la propuesta de formación dirigida a los ocho directores de banda de marcha de la localidad de San Cristóbal (Bogotá) en el año 2.010, concluyendo así un desarrollo en este espectacular viaje de formación, sin embargo, falto mucho tiempo para poder ver a fondo todo el material a trabajar y desarrollarlo sin afanes. Este material estará siempre a disposición de los directores y las entidades que necesiten de él, ya que sabemos que no hay suficientes datos para su debida formación. DEDICATORIA Principalmente a Dios por darme este maravilloso don y darme la oportunidad de compartirlo con la mayor cantidad de personas posibles, a mi madre que siempre ha estado a mi lado apoyándome y esforzándose para que seamos mejores cada día por medio de una excelente educación, mis hermanos que me han tenido que soportar mis sonidos de estudio sin poder descansar, a mis hijos para que tengan un referente de superación y constancia reflejada, a todo el movimiento de bandas de marcha en este país para que demostremos que tenemos mucho potencial para explotar y que este trabajo se convierta en la oportunidad para que muchos mas directores se animen a escribir que es lo que nos está haciendo falta. AGRADECIMIENTOS Al ministerio de Cultura, al plan nacional de bandas, al plan nacional de música para la convivencia y la secretaria de Cultura de la gobernación de Cundinamarca que desde un comienzo creyeron que la formación de un director de banda es fundamental para lograr resultados excelentes en nuestros procesos de formación musical para con nuestras comunidades; maestro Néstor Herrera, maestra Marysabel Tolosa y maestra María Rosa Machado. Al grupo de directores participantes de estos talleres de formación pero en especial

  • Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
    Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

Captain Cook’s ship, HMS Endeavour, is illustrated here preparing to observe the 1769 Transit of Venus in Tahiti. In the early evening of June 5, 2012 a rare Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun will be visible from Sheffield, an event that will not take place again until December 2117.
