Here are some tips to help you find your way us want to clap our hands, tap our feet or around the program and the orchestra. jump up and dance? It’s the rhythm, of course.

Today’s overtures include: with the “forbidden” tritone interval as soon as the music starts. These two Carnival Overture by Antonin Dv oˇrák.

Still, it’s worth not - ing that the sound of the reed pipes in this dance is evoked by flutes in the orchestra — and flutes are not reed instru - ments! (What are reed instruments? See our note on the following page.)

Can-Can from La boutique fantasque by Respighi/Rossini. Can you can- can? We wouldn’t suggest trying it at home. Characterized by high kicks and high energy, it scandalized the Paris nightclubs of the late 19th century, where can-can dancers did sensationally acrobatic dancing and yelled to punctuate their exertions. You can hear the exuberance of their steps in this arrangement by Ottorino Respighi of music by Giaocchino Rossini — a composer who was also a celebrity chef of his day. It is excerpted from La boutique fantasque , a ballet set in a shop where the toys come alive.

Playing a reed is simple; it just as a photograph — maybe more so, when the takes long years of studying how to blow into it while music is by a great composer who engages moving your fingers along a pipe. Here’s your guide to the our imagination. To create the works included reeds: in our Cirque de la Symphonie , a number of composers took out their staff paper and Single reed: Clarinets and saxophones are constructed with made highly atmospheric musical sketches of single reeds carved from cane.

By boldly Danse boheme from the Carmen Suite No. 2 by Georges featuring these instruments in solo passages, Ravel makes Bizet. Why put a “Bohemian” dance in an opera set in Spain? the whole orchestra sound exotic and colorful. Because in opera, music does more than just tell a story; it also reveals character.

The phenomenal global success of Bolero and the music shows every detail: the proud swagger of the bedeviled Ravel — or so he claimed, sometimes referring bullfighters… their bright costumes and regal bearing… to it as “non-music.” The problem? He felt it detracted their military precision as they march in strict formation. from the reputation of his more complex works. After all, Bolero is based upon a single theme repeated over and over Rhapsody for Orchestra from España by Emmanuel again, rather than the subtler and more intricate structure Chabrier. Like Bizet, Chabrier was a French composer who of compositions such as his Daphnis et Chloe. looked south to Spain for inspiration. In this excitingly scored rhapsody, you can hear what fascinated him: the Bolero Jacket.
