This season we welcome Music Director, Stéphane Denève, to our SLSO family, and we have an exciting Education Concert Series planned for you.

We present the classic tale of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf this Fall and Beethoven’s New Groove this Spring for our elementary and younger middle school audience. Beethoven’s New Groove shows us how meter and rhythm work together to create different styles of music. And lastly, for our middle and high school friends, don’t miss the Education Team’s Top Picks, including Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty Suite, Ravel’s Bolero and music from living composers Aaron Jay Kernis, Guillaume Connesson, and John Adams.

The concert begins with an interactive demonstration of the grouping of beats (strong and weak) to create meters in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. During the concert, students will listen to and engage with the following pieces of music: Meter Composer Piece/Excerpt YouTube Style Beethoven Excerpt from 2nd movement of bit.ly/1MyNY8C Symphony No. 9 Excerpt: bit.ly/1NaG2vZ 2/4 Rossini William Tell Overture bit.ly/33Gihba March 3/4 Khachaturian Waltz from Masquerade Suite bit.ly/32AZhtv Waltz 4/4 Mozart Excerpt from 1st movement of bit.ly/1PL5vhE Eine kleine Nachtmusik Excerpt: bit.ly/1TbeHKW 5/4 Tchaikovsky Excerpt from 2nd movement of bit.ly/1I7wcdP Symphony No. 6 Excerpt: bit.ly/1lG0yuc Sometimes strong beats (rhythmic accents) do not follow the standard metric patterns common in “classical” music. When strong beats appear in unexpected places, the style of the music changes. For example, In the Hall of the Mountain King becomes In the Hall of the Mountain Swing. The iconic theme from the first movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 morphs into Rock, Hip-Hop and Latin styles. And the concert concludes with a Latin arrangement of Bach’s classic Toccata and Fugue. Composer Piece/Excerpt YouTube Style Grieg Excerpt from In the Hall of the Mountain bit.ly/1IclE7W King Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain Swing Swing Arr. Hyken Beethoven Excerpt from 1st Movement from bit.ly/1NMmlXD Symphony No. 5 Beethoven Symphony No. 5 Remixed Rock/Hip-Hop/Latin Arr. Hyken Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor Latin Arr. Hyken 5 slso.org/education Concert Overview Continued Concert Objectives Students will: 1. Experience a live orchestra performance. 2. Identify strong and weak beats in various meters. 3. Compare and contrast the meter and rhythm of music in various styles. Standards Missouri Music Grade Level Expectations • MU:Pr6A.3b-8b – Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work • MU:Re7A.1a-8a – Perceive and analyze artistic work • MU:Re9A.1a-8a – Apply criteria to evaluate artistic work Illinois Arts Learning Standards – Music Standards • MU:Pr6.1.4b-8b – Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work • MU:Re7.1.1b-8b – Perceive and analyze artistic work • MU:Re9.1.1-8 – Apply criteria to evaluate artistic work Essential Questions 1. How does meter effect the way the music makes me feel? 2. How does rhythm effect the way the music makes me feel? 3. How do meter and rhythm work together to create different styles of music? 4. How does the context in which a piece of music is presented influence my response? Vocabulary Beat Measure Swing Strong beat (rhythmic accent) Rhythm Rock Weak beat Waltz Hip-Hop Meter March Latin 6 slso.org/education Discovering Meter Not all beats are created equal! In a piece of music, some beats are stronger, and others are weaker. When strong and weak beats are grouped together in a consistent pattern it is called meter. Meter indicates the number of beats in a group or measure. The learning activities in this section introduce the grouping of strong and weak beats in music to create meter. During the concert, students will be introduced to the following meters: 2/4 Duple Meter Strong – Weak 3/4 Triple Meter Strong – Weak – Weak 4/4 Quadruple Meter Strong – Weak – Strong – Weak 5/4 Quintuple Meter Strong – Weak – Strong – Weak – Weak Standards Missouri Music Grade Level Expectations • MU:Cr1A.1b-5b • MU:Cr2A.1b-5b • MU:Pr4B.1a-8a Illinois Arts Learning Standards – Music Standards • MU:Cr2.1.1b-4b • MU:Pr4.1.1b-5b Learning Activities Learning Activity No. 1 – Internalizing Steady Beat/Pulse Students need to understand and internalize the beat before they begin exploring meter. Play the second movement from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 or any piece of music with a steady pulse. Have students pat the beat or go for a walk to the beat. Explain to students that most music is based on a steady beat or pulse. Relate this idea to the music you have been listening to or performing in your classroom. 7 slso.org/education Activity No. 2 – Exploring Strong & Weak Beats Just like music, the way we speak has elements of meter and rhythm. Students will explore strong and weak syllables to create their own rhythmic patterns in meters of three and four. Example 1: Let’s go Cardinals Let’s go Car - di nals The phrases “Let’s go Cardinals” could be in 4/4, with strong syllables on beats one and three in each measure. Speak along with the beat to Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik and have students feel for themselves how they naturally fit together. You could also try having them stress go and nals and they should feel how the strong beat feels misplaced. Example 2: Cardinals Car di nals The word “Cardinals” could be in 3/4 with one strong syllable followed by two weaker syllables in each measure. Speak or sing the word along with Khachaturian’s Waltz from Masquerade Suite and have students feel for themselves how they fit together. The same can be done as before by “incorrectly” adding emphasis to di or nals. Next, have students create their own phrases in 4/4 and 3/4 meters by filling in the squares (4/4) or triangles (3/4) on page 11 with one syllable each, putting the strong syllables in the larger shapes. Have the students perform their phrases for the class, remembering to keep a steady beat and emphasizing the strong syllables. 8 slso.org/education Activity No. 2 – Meter Tag Using the following musical selections from Beethoven’s New Groove, have students stomp on the strong beats and clap on the weak beats. 2/4 – ROSSINI William Tell Overture 3/4 – KHACHATURIAN Waltz from Masquerade Suite 4/4 – MOZART 1st movement from Eine kleine Nachtmusik 5/4 – TCHAIKOVSKY 2nd movement from Symphony No.
