Pathways lessons are designed so that classroom teachers with limited musical background can carry them out and discover rich possibilities for integration into other areas of the curriculum — while Teaching Artists and music specialists can use them as springboards for creative musical extensions. With this second edition, we update favorite lessons and introduce several new ones. We also connect this print material with expanded resources online at nyphil.org/teachers, enabling teachers to extend units into additional repertory and activities. Pathways to the Orchestra is a manifestation of a dynamic, ever- deepening learning process among students, teachers, and Teaching Artists.

They learn about what makes the orchestra a vibrant, creative community, and they explore basic musical concepts. An understanding of these central musical ideas — Rhythm, Melody, Dynamics, and Musical Layering — is the foundation upon which students’ continued progress in the Philharmonic’s Pathways to the Orchestra is built. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to seek ways to connect this work to the literacy and social studies curricula, especially in regard to the Final Project, which focuses on the adaptation of a story for performance with music.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

    Chester from New England Triptych, by William Schuman Grades: 5 - 12 Music Concepts: form, style, harmony, melody, tone color National Standards: 6. Listen and describe music. 8. Relate music to other arts/disciplines (visual arts & history). 9. Relate music to history/culture (Revolutionary War) Materials: Recording of William Schuman New England Tryptic “Chester”, iconic pictures labeled Church Hymn, Spirit of ’76, Strife of War, and Remembrance displayed in random order. Strategy/Procedures 1. Have students point to or signal 1, 2, 3, 4 on a hand the pictures representing the current section of music playing, ready to pose a possible history for the tune “Chester” in the history of the Revolutionary War based on the order of musical events. Monitor for signals indicating the order listed under Materials above, and suggestions that the tune historically started as a hymn, was used as a fife-and-drum call to battle, became symbolic of the war effort, and was later adopted by the Continental Army as a marching tune. Reinforce answers that lean toward “correct” answers, withholding feedback and probing for deeper answers until student discussion leads close enough to affirm “correct” answers. 2. Learn to sing the song by memory by reading the music for "Chester" or echoing phrase by phrase after the teacher, then sing it along with the woodwind hymn at the beginning. Monitor for accurate reading and/or echoing of pitch, rhythm, and words. Reinforce best singing efforts until everybody can sing it accurately by memory. 3. Ask students to describe the musical effects provided by the Woodwinds, Piccolo, Brass, Snare Drum.

  • Fabio P. Di Vita Greek Ships in Sicily During the 18Th Century
    Fabio P. Di Vita Greek ships in Sicily during the 18th century: health practices and commercial relationships 1. Introduction The main aim of this work, conducted within the research project promoted by the Ionian University entitled Greek Shipping History, 1700 – 1821 , is to check the Greek mercantile traffic in the main sicilian harbours between the beginning of the 18th century and the first twenty years of the 19th century. To find useful archival documents I have researched in the archives of Palermo and Messina, where I have consulted the funds Suprema Deputazione Generale di Salute Pubblica , deposited in the archive of Palermo, and Deputazione della Salute, Regia Udienza and Consolato del Mare , conserved in the archive of Messina. By the analisys of the documents related to the working of the maritim sanitary system in the areas of Palermo and Messina it has been possible to check the presence of Greek ships, getting out useful elements as the name, the type and the flag of the ship, the name of the owner and/or the name of the captain, news about the crew, the origin of the ship and commodities transported. These news, opportunely rielaborated, permitted to verify, also, the sea-routes of the ships and the kind of commerce exercised by Greeks in these areas. It has been analyzed, also, the evolution and the way of work of the sicilian maritim health system in the Modern Age, examining important aspects as intervention and protection techniques, the subjects envolved in the administration of the Deputations, the economics resources, the costs of the offered services, the maritime activities needed to make possible operations of loading and unloading in the harbours of Sicily, and, in general, the received treatment for the ships coming from suspected areas.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.
