  • Super-Heroes of the Orchestra
    S u p e r - Heroes of the Orchestra TEACHER GUIDE THIS BELONGS TO: _________________________ 1 Dear Teachers: The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra is presenting SUPER-HEROES OF THE SYMPHONY this year to area students. These materials will help you integrate the concert experience into the classroom curriculum. Music communicates meaning just like literature, poetry, drama and works of art. Understanding increases when two or more of these media are combined, such as illustrations in books or poetry set to music ~~ because multiple senses are engaged. ABOUT ARTS INTEGRATION: As we prepare students for college and the workforce, it is critical that students are challenged to interpret a variety of ‘text’ that includes art, music and the written word. By doing so, they acquire a deeper understanding of important information ~~ moving it from short-term to long- term memory. Music and art are important entry points into mathematical and scientific understanding. Much of the math and science we teach in school are innate to art and music. That is why early scientists and mathematicians, such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Pythagoras, were also artists and musicians. This Guide has included literacy, math, science and social studies lesson planning guides in these materials that are tied to grade-level specific Arkansas State Curriculum Framework Standards. These lesson planning guides are designed for the regular classroom teacher and will increase student achievement of learning standards across all disciplines. The students become engaged in real-world applications of key knowledge and skills. (These materials are not just for the Music Teacher!) ABOUT THE CONTENT: The title of this concert, SUPER-HEROES OF THE SYMPHONY, suggests a focus on musicians/instruments/real and fictional people who do great deeds to help achieve a common goal.

  • The Nutcracker"
    The Essentials: "The Nutcracker" Lauren LaRocca, Friday, December 13 Photo Sharen Bradford Presented by Aspen Santa Fe Ballet 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14 1 and 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15 Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W. San Francisco Street Tickets are $36 to $94; 505-988-1234, lensic.org The origin The origin of The Nutcracker ballet can be traced back to E.T.A. Hoffmann’s bizarre 1816 Christmas story, Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Nussknacker und Mausekönig). In it, the heroine is named Maria. (In the ballet, she’s sometimes called Maria, Marie, and the familiar Clara.) The ballet wasn’t inspired by Hoffman’s story, per se, but by an adaptation of the story written by Alexandre Dumas, The Story of a Nutcracker, in 1844. The ballet was created nearly 50 years later, debuting in 1892, with musical composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa (when Petipa grew ill, Lev Ivanov took over and finished the piece) Composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Born in Russia in 1840, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky began studying piano at 5 and later attended the St. Petersburg Conservatory. There he learned Western methods of composition, which widened his perception of styles and allowed him to understand music cross-culturally. This training would set his work apart from other Russian composers. After graduating, he began teaching music theory at Moscow Conservatory while working on his own symphonies and ballets. He became best known for writing the 1812 Overture, as well as his Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty ballets.

  • The Impact of Russian Music in England 1893-1929
    THE IMPACT OF RUSSIAN MUSIC IN ENGLAND 1893-1929 by GARETH JAMES THOMAS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham March 2005 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation into the reception of Russian music in England for the period 1893-1929 and the influence it had on English composers. Part I deals with the critical reception of Russian music in England in the cultural and political context of the period from the year of Tchaikovsky’s last successful visit to London in 1893 to the last season of Diaghilev’s Ballet russes in 1929. The broad theme examines how Russian music presented a challenge to the accepted aesthetic norms of the day and how this, combined with the contextual perceptions of Russia and Russian people, problematized the reception of Russian music, the result of which still informs some of our attitudes towards Russian composers today. Part II examines the influence that Russian music had on British composers of the period, specifically Stanford, Bantock, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Frank Bridge, Bax, Bliss and Walton.

It was a disaster – it lasted only a few weeks – and the composer, near mental collapse, fled Russia. He found refuge in Switzerland, where he gradually recovered in the quiet beauty of Clarens, on the Lake of Geneva. One of his visitors there was Yosif Kotek, a violinist and one of his former students in Moscow. Together, they played music for violin and piano, and Tchaikovsky began to compose for the violin: in the spring of 1878 he wrote the Violin Concerto and a collection of three short pieces for violin and piano. He published these latter works under the name Souvenir d’un lieu cher (“Memory of a Dear Place”), a title that expresses his affection for Clarens and its calming influence. The brief Mélodie is the final piece of this set.

  • Composer Biography: Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky
    CLIBURN KIDS COMPOSER BIOGRAPHY PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY BORN: May 7, 1840 ERA/STYLE: Romantic DIED: November 6, 1893 HOMETOWN: Votkinsk, Russia Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Russia in 1840. He started to study music at the age of 5 and soon revealed his amazing musical talents. Although his parents loved music, they did not expect him to have a musical career. They wanted him to become a lawyer. Tchaikovsky graduated from law school when he was 19 and went to work for the government. When he was 22 he decided to enter the St. Petersburg Conservatory where he began to study music seriously. In 1866, Tchaikovsky moved permanently to Moscow where he accepted a teaching position at the Moscow Conservatory. It was there that his first symphonies and other shorter works were created. In addition to composing and teaching, he also wrote about music and was a music critic for a Moscow paper. A wealthy widow, Mrs. Nadezhda von Meck, was especially taken with Tchaikovsky’s music. She paid him large sums of money to concentrate on composing, and he resigned from the Moscow Conservatory in October 1878. He worked for Mrs. Nadezhda von Meck for 13 years.
