The Ugly Duckling Introduce your students to the story of The Ugly Duckling. We suggest some of these beautifully illustrated books, which can be found at your local library or bookseller or online at Amazon.com: this story by Hans Christian Andersen emphasizes that others should value people for their inner beauty, since you cannot tell what people are truly like based on appearances alone. The music from Once Upon a Symphony is found on this Spotify playlist. Here’s how the music helps to tell the story: o Morning Mood from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg . This piece sets the summer scene of Mother Duck waiting patiently on her nest for her ducklings to hatch. o The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi . Autumn - This music expresses the daily life on a farm and the joy of the harvest. Winter – This piece illustrates the cold winter weather and the cold, lonely Duckling. Spring – The warm sun returns and the Ugly Duckling realizes that he is actually a beautiful swan. o The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II . With this piece, the ducklings discover the thrill of swimming in the pond. o The Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns . During this iconic music, The Ugly Duckling watches his parents soar overhead as he rejoices in the discovery that he is a swan. o Holberg Suite, Op.40, Rigaudon by Edvard Grieg . This music celebrates the beauty that lives in each of us. As your students listen to Morning Mood, have them pretend that it is early in the morning and they are just waking up. Students can stretch and move like they are rising with the sun. Students can explore the ¾ meter in The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II by moving like a swan in a pond. This poem can also be recited as students listen to The Blue Danube: Stand up very tall Let’s reach for the sky Let’s bend to the left Let’s bend to the right Let’s all touch our toes Now all touch our nose Let’s move like a swan in a pond Now let’s stop and strike a pose .

Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2
Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, strings. Duration: 15 minutes in four movements. THE COMPOSER – EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) – Grieg spent much of the 1870s collaborating with famous countrymen authors. With Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the composer had hoped to mount a grand operatic history of King Olav Tryggvason but the two artists soon ran afoul of one another. A possible contributing factor was Grieg’s moonlighting project with Henrik Ibsen but, in truth, Bjørnson and the composer had been nursing hurt feelings for a while by the time the latter began to stray. THE MUSIC – As it turned out, Grieg’s back-up plan was more challenging than rewarding at first. He was to compose incidental music that expanded and stitched together the sections of Ibsen’s epic poem. This he did with delight, but soon found the restrictions of the theatrical setting more a burden than a help creatively. “In no case,” he claimed, “had I opportunity to write as I wanted” but the 1876 premiere was a huge success regardless. Grieg seized the chance to re-work some of the music and add new segments during the 1885 revival and did the same in 1902. The two suites he published in 1888 and 1893 likely represent his most ardent hopes for his part of the project and stand today as some of his most potently memorable work. Ibsen’s play depicted the globetrotting rise and fall of a highly symbolic Norwegian anti-hero and, in spite of all the aforementioned struggles, the author could not have chosen a better partner than Grieg to enhance the words with sound.

Jüri Reinvere Peer Gynt Opera from the Play by Henrik Ibsen Jüri Reinvere
JÜRI REINVERE PEER GYNT OPERA FROM THE PLAY BY HENRIK IBSEN JÜRI REINVERE With the international acclaim of his first opera Puhdistus (Purge), premiered at Finnish National Opera in 2012, Esto- nian-born composer Jüri Reinvere gained his reputation as one of the most faithful, yet versatile composers of our time. Not only a composer but also the librettist of his own operas, his works and life have been shaped by three essential fac- tors: his childhood in an occupied country within the Soviet Union, his developing years in Finland and in Stockholm, and by his private teacher Käbi Laretei, pianist and novelist, and, most importantly, through the presence of her former husband, Ingmar Bergman; an environment which brought Reinvere close to the Nordic theatre tradition and has influ- enced him as a composer, a thinker and as a writer in the most personal way. Among others, he composed Opposite Shore, a radio opera, Northwest Bow, Written in the Sand, Four Quartets I, Requiem and Norilsk the Daffodils, most of these based on his own poetry, written originally in English, using different musical genres in unpredictable ways in an assessment of humanity and its polarities. Reinvere has been described as a “true cosmopolitan with Estonian roots” by Sofi Oksanen, on whose bestseller his opera Purge was based. In addition to his music, he has last year written contributions as political essayist for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, as well earlier for radio, TV and various publications in Germany, Finland, Sweden and Estonia - all of them in multiple languages.

Abstract: For Den Nationale Scene’s Peer Gynt, directed by Kjersti Horn, audiences were promised a ‘controversial, vital and nightmarish version of the original play’, an experience of it ‘from a completely new angle’, as well as a show which speaks to universal human concerns. This review evaluates the extent to which these two objectives were achieved, with particular reference to ongoing European politics and the aesthetic traditions of contemporary European theatre.

Peer Gynt in China and Its Adaptations
KWOK-KAN TAM Chineseness in Recreating Ibsen: Peer Gynt in China and Its Adaptations Ibsen was introduced to China about one hundred years ago, first as a champion of individualism, when the Chinese were in need of a new identity after the collapse of Confucianism. Ibsen’s individualism gave the Chinese a source for a new identity, in which a person could define him/herself as an individual, free to choose and have the right to defy social impositions. Against such a background, Ibsen’s plays such as An Enemy of the People, A Doll’s House and Ghosts became popular in China in the early twentieth century because of their radical social messages for the Chinese revolution that changed China from dynastic rule to modern democracy. For such a change, drastic refor- mation had to occur in politics as well as in culture, especially in people’s concept of the self and nation. In the early years of reception in the 1910s-1940s, Peer Gynt was not considered representative of Ibsen’s social ideas and hence did not attract the attention of the Chinese in days of cultural turmoil. Later in the early years of socialist China, Peer Gynt was condemned for promoting the idea of “thyself- ishness,” which only trolls, not human beings, would adopt as a philosophy of life (Xiao 1949: 5, Tam 1986: 210–211, Tam 2001: 129). As Peer says, The Gyntish self – it is that host of wants, desires that stir one most, – the Gyntish self, – it is a sea of whims and needs and urgency, whatever stirs my breast precisely, and thereby makes me live – concisely.

For, if there is any play of the Master's that requires for its understanding a special knowledge of the milieu and the circumstances that gave rise to it, it is this child of the poet's most exuberant fancy, written at one of the rare periods of his life and practi cally the first when everything smiled upon him, when, owing to the success of "Brand", some dissonants notwithstanding (n.
