Information

ABOUT THE 2012/13 EDUCATION CONCERT PROGRAM

Education Concert Workshop

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The best way to prepare for your concert is to attend the Education Concert Workshop each August. This six-hour workshop features presentations by the authors of the student and teacher handbooks, including live demonstrations of recommended activities and lesson plans For your registration fee of $30.00, you will receive a copy of both handbooks, a CD of the concert program and printouts of all PowerPoint presentations. You will be treated to lunch and entered to win prizes from North Carolina Symphony sponsors. All who participate will also receive a certificate that they can use to obtain 0.5 CEU credit from their district. This year’s workshop takes place on Wednesday, August 15, 2012, from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm at Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh, NC.
As we commemorate the 80th Anniversary Season of the North Carolina Symphony, we also honor more than seventy years of unique education concert programs heard by millions of North Carolina students. The selections for this year’s program aim to not only instill a love of classical music in young people, but also to represent our orchestra’s venerable educational history.

We would like to thank this year’s authors: Christine White and Jana Powell of Lenoir County Schools and Linda Musten and Amanda Watson Bailey of Wake County Public Schools. Each of these individuals contributed countless hours of their time (and much of their summer vacations) to creating these curriculum guides and preparing for our August Education Concert Workshop, for which we are truly thankful.
If you are unable to attend the workshop in August, you can view it online. The North Carolina Symphony Education Concert Workshop will be videotaped and made available on a private classroom site. To download these videos you must register, after which you will be sent the same materials as all of the workshop participants and be given a unique username and password to log in to the classroom site. Upon completion of your online workshop you will be issued a certificate that can be used to obtain 0.5 CEU credit from your district. The cost of registration is just $30.00. You can access these resources anytime throughout the school year.
These books are tools for preparing your students to attend their North Carolina Symphony Education Concert.

It is our intention that the Education Concert experience supports your goal of promoting music as a core subject that is essential to North Carolina’s curriculum. I encourage everyone involved with the Education Concerts to take just five minutes to complete our surveys when they are sent to you. The information you provide on that survey will help us evaluate the success of our programs and make changes for the following seasons. We value your opinions and we put your ideas into action. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

“North Carolina Is My Home”

At your concert, the conductor will ask everyone to stand and sing “North Carolina Is My Home” with the orchestra. He or she will cue the students after a brief introduction, when it is time to start singing. Although we encourage students to memorize the lyrics, we understand that this is not always possible. At your discretion, decide whether or not to bring song sheets or books from which your students can read. If you do choose to bring the lyrics, please be sure students take with them all materials they bring into the auditorium as a courtesy to our venues’ clean-up crews.
We are grateful for all that you do to enrich the lives of students across North Carolina.
And remember, it’s a treat for our orchestra and conductors to hear your students singing. Encourage your students to

sing loudly so our musicians can hear them!

Please note that a recording of “North Carolina Is My Home” is not included on the Education Concert CD.

Jessica Nalbone

Director of Education, North Carolina Symphony

Playing on Recorders

At your concert, you may notice other groups playing the song on recorders. Playing the song “North Carolina Is My Home” on recorders is an opportunity we extend to all schools groups that attend and is completely optional. However, if you are planning to have a student group perform on instruments, here are a few things to know:

• North Carolina Symphony Education staff members need to know that you plan to perform on recorders before

your concert. Please contact Jessica Nalbone, Director of Education, at [email protected] or 919.789.5461 or ask whoever is coordinating your concert trip to do so. Performing groups will be seated in a special section and acknowledged from the stage, so it is critical that we know you are preparing to play.

• Schools will play on their own, unless you make arrangements with another school to perform together.

919.789.5461 Office 919.781.6066 Fax [email protected]

• We may have too many individual groups performing on instruments at one concert, in which case you may be

asked to perform with another school.

• Any groups performing on recorders will do so before the orchestra plays “North Carolina Is My Home.” • This opportunity is open to other instruments such as violins, Orff instruments, boomwhackers, etc.

RECORDINGS of the Education Concert Program

Recordings of the pieces heard on the Education Concert Program will be available for CD purchase on the North Carolina Symphony Education website: www.ncsymphony.org/educationprograms.

• Please remind your students, whether they are performing or not, to be courteous and respectful of other students’

performances at their concert.

Biography

(in Student Book)

Carl Nielsen was the seventh of twelve children in a family so poor, he had to work as a child to help everyone survive. One day, when he was six years old and stuck at home, sick with the measles, his mother gave him his first violin. By the end of the day he had taught himself a few short melodies, and soon enough, an assistant teacher at his school was encouraging him to learn to read and write music. Nielsen was sold. By the time he was a teenager, he had learned to play trumpet and earned a position in the Sixteenth Battalion, a military band. That was just the beginning. Nielsen eventually became Denmark’s greatest composer, as well as a famous violinist, teacher and writer and the conductor of the country’s Royal Theatre.

You will hear the orchestra perform the Oriental Festival March from Nielsen’s music for the play Aladdin. This is “incidental music,” meaning it would be played in the background of the play to create a particular atmosphere or feeling, just like the music to your favorite movie today!

    CARL NIELSEN Symphony No. 4, Op. 29, “The Inextinguishable” Born

    CARL NIELSEN Symphony No. 4, Op. 29, “The Inextinguishable” Born: June 9, 1865, in Sortelunge, Denmark Died: October 3, 1931, in Copenhagen Work composed: 1914–16 World premiere: February 1, 1916, in Copenhagen. The composer conducted the orchestra of the Copenhagen Music Society. During the 19th century, a new kind of symphony captured the imaginations of many composers. This type of composition had an inherently dramatic character that reflected the Romantic ideal of heroic striVing. Specifically, it conVeyed a sense of struggle and eVentual triumph, with turbulent first moVements preparing joyous finales. Initiated by BeethoVen (who gaVe his magisterial Third Symphony the subtitle Sinfonia eroica, or “Heroic Symphony”), and subsequently cultiVated by Brahms, TchaikoVsky, Mahler and many other composers, the heroic symphony proVed one of the Romanticism’s most important musical deVelopments. The Romantic symphonic tradition came late to countries on the northern periphery of Europe. One of its last champions was the Danish composer Carl Nielsen, whose most successful symphony is also the one most closely allied with the “heroic symphony” tradition. This is his Symphony No. 4, which concludes our program. Nielsen completed this work in 1916, during the dark days of World War I, and gaVe it a striking title: “The Inextinguishable.” He explained that he meant this title to connote “the elemental Will of Life,” the urge of life to continue eVen in the face of destructiVe forces. “Music is Life and, like it, is inextinguishable,” Nielsen added. HoweVer, he also noted that the symphony implied nothing more specific, and that his remarks were “only a suggestion as to the right approach to the music.” But if this composition is a celebration of life, it also expresses the drama of crisis and overcoming central to the Romantic symphonic tradition.
