Tapestry of Light a Holiday Celebration EPISODE FOUR TAPESTRY OF LIGHT: A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO We welcome you to Heinz Hall to enjoy the music and traditions of the holiday season with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. While we can’t gather together at Heinz Hall this year, we are excited to offer Front Row: Tapestry of Light, A Holiday Celebration to offer some comfort and joy during these uncertain times. This year’s program has old favorites – and new delights. Principal Pops Conductor Byron Stripling welcomes special guest vocalist Vanessa Campagna, a global star and a Beaver County native, who was discovered by Marvin Hamlisch, the PSO’s first Principal Pops Conductor. Byron also showcases his amazing trumpet playing in special performances of “Joy to the World” and an improvisation on the theme from “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” The glorious brass section of the PSO is featured in three pieces, and the PSO is joined by members of the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus and a dancer from Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School for special performances. Valerie Coleman’s Umoja (Swahili for “unity” or “togetherness”) is played by the PSO’s flute section. And, the celebration wouldn’t be complete without the annual tradition of a sing-along! We’re also very proud to present our first ever virtual Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. This will be the Pittsburgh Symphony’s sixth season offering sensory friendly concerts, and our second Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. Open to all, our sensory friendly performances are customized especially for those with autism spectrum disorders or who have other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities. Sensory Friendly concerts have adaptions that include a shortened length of time for the concert; supportive materials and resources created in conjunction with community partners; and closed caption and ASL interpretation will be shown during speaking. This concert will be streamed on the PSO website, for free, and for 30 days after its premiere on December 18. Especially this holiday season, I am filled with gratitude—for everyone at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra who works tirelessly to create and present great music; for our donors and sponsors who have supported us during this deeply challenging time; and for you, our beloved community, who shares our love for unforgettable musical moments. With warmest best wishes, Melia Tourangeau President and CEO, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra 2 FRONT ROW THE PSO VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE Cecee Pantikian HARP TRUMPET Jeremías Gretchen Micah Wilkinson j Sergiani-Velázquez Van Hoesen j MARTHA BROOKS ROBINSON CHAIR VIRGINIA CAMPBELL CHAIR Albert Tan Charles Lirette h FLUTE EDWARD D.

  • Kodály and Orff: a Comparison of Two Approaches in Early Music Education
    ZKÜ Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2012 ZKU Journal of Social Sciences, Volume 8, Number 15, 2012 KODÁLY AND ORFF: A COMPARISON OF TWO APPROACHES IN EARLY MUSIC EDUCATION Yrd.Doç.Dr. Dilek GÖKTÜRK CARY Karabük Üniversitesi Safranbolu Fethi Toker Güzel Sanatlar ve Tasarım Fakültesi Müzik Bölümü [email protected] ABSTRACT The Hungarian composer and ethnomusicologist Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) and the German composer Carl Orff (1895-1982) are considered two of the most influential personalities in the arena of music education during the twentieth-century due to two distinct teaching methods that they developed under their own names. Kodály developed a hand-sign method (movable Do) for children to sing and sight-read while Orff’s goal was to help creativity of children through the use of percussive instruments. Although both composers focused on young children’s musical training the main difference between them is that Kodály focused on vocal/choral training with the use of hand signs while Orff’s main approach was mainly on movement, speech and making music through playing (particularly percussive) instruments. Finally, musical creativity via improvisation is the main goal in the Orff Method; yet, Kodály’s focal point was to dictate written music. Key Words: Zoltán Kodály, Carl Orff, The Kodály Method, The Orff Method. KODÁLY VE ORFF: ERKEN MÜZİK EĞİTİMİNDE KULLANILAN İKİ METODUN BİR KARŞILAŞTIRMASI ÖZET Macar besteci ve etnomüzikolog Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) ve Alman besteci Carl Orff (1895-1982) geliştirmiş oldukları farklı 2 öğretim metodundan dolayı 20. yüzyılda müzik eğitimi alanında en etkili 2 kişi olarak anılmaktadırlar. Kodály çocukların şarkı söyleyebilmeleri ve deşifre yapabilmeleri için el işaretleri metodu (gezici Do) geliştirmiş, Orff ise vurmalı çalgıların kullanımı ile çocukların yaratıcılıklarını geliştirmeyi hedef edinmiştir.

  • XXVI Space Utopia in the 1970S of the Twentieth Century on the Basis Of
    XXVI Space Utopia in the 1970s of the Twentieth Century on the Basis of the Kobaïan World Łukasz Stec Introduction Utopia has been depicted in a plethora of works of culture. Thus, its omnipresence creates a considerable incentive to approach the subject from a completely different angle. Endeavouring to put the problem of utopia into wider perspective, this chap- ter focuses on music and its relation to utopian concepts and notions. Utopias tend to raise the problem of the world improvement. According to Lyman Tower Sargent “most utopias compare life in the present and life in the utopia and point out what is wrong with the way we now live, thus suggesting what needs to be done to improve things” (Sargent 2010: 5). When it comes to music, there have been plenty of bands approaching utopian- ism1; however, there is only one that stands out among the rest, i.e. Magma, a French group led by Christian Vander, a drummer, who along with other members of the 1 There is a long list of bands playing different kinds of music which referred to both utopia and dystopia. With regard to rock music, there are well-known albums such as Animals by Pink Floyd based on George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the opus magnum of Roger Waters The Wall, Brave New World by Iron Maiden based on Aldous Huxley, 666 by Aphrodite’s Child which is believed to have been staged in Barcelona and directed by Salvador Dalí. The topic of utopian discourse across media including music, computer games, films, visual arts is thoroughly discussed in the book (Im)perfection Sub- verted, reloaded and networked edited by Barbara Klonowska, Zofia Kolbuszewska and Grzegorz Maziarczyk (Klonowska, Kolbuszewska, Maziarczyk 2015).
