  • Singing Together Enhances Our Own School Community and Creates a Positive Environment
    let’s sing! Songbank resources These songs can all be used in class, in assembly or by children at home. They can be used as videos or listening resources to complement and enhance PHSE topics, to generate discussion and reflection, and as starting points for extended work and activities. They all also directly support and underpin work on core values. One Voice - Brian May and Kerry Ellis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8ySMk5TUs Themes and ideas: • Focus on the clear, simple, powerful lyrics of the song • The importance and strength of our individual voice. One voice can make a difference. • Think of examples of people who stood up and spoke out to make a difference; for example, Malala, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Mother Theresa. • The power and strength we find in working together. • The power of singing itself to bring people together. How singing builds relationships and communities. Reflect on how singing together enhances our own school community and creates a positive environment. How does singing together make us feel? • Focus on the clear, simple, powerful lyrics of the song • The song was written by Ruth Moody of The Wailin’ Jennys and has been recorded by a number of artists. Listen to and compare some of these other versions. Reach out your Hand - Hollie Williams and Bottle Top Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFdYs9TvOIU Themes and ideas: • Reaching out to others • Being considerate, helpful, kind and compassionate • How we can shine the light to brighten someone’s day by being kind, helpful and friendly. • Consider ways around school to ensure everyone feels welcome and included.

  • Nacida El 14 De Agosto De 1960 En Berkhampstead, Es La Mayor De Los
    Sarah Brightman … y los ángeles cantan Publicado originalmente en Julio de 2008. Lo primero que llama la atención es su belleza, especialmente sus ojos de color verde-azulado, pero lo que termina por cautivarte es su voz, la que la ha llevado a establecerse como la soprano de mayores ventas de discos y DVDs en la historia de la música. Con facilidad convive tanto con arias clásicas de opera, como con el teatro musical de Broadway, el rock, el pop, la balada, lo gótico, chill out, ritmos latinos o asiáticos sin el menor problema, así como tampoco tiene problemas para realizar duetos con personalidades de todos los géneros. Parece mentira que esta mujer este a punto de cumplir 48 años de edad, pero vamos por partes. Sarah nació en Berkhampstead, Inglaterra, un pueblo histórico de menos de 20 mil habitantes. Es la mayor de cinco hermanos. Desde pequeña mostró los dotes de su voz y también estudió ballet, debutando en teatro a los 13 años de edad en el montaje I and Albert en el teatro Piccadilly de Londres; tres años después se unió al grupo de baile Pan´s People, con el que hizo algunas apariciones en televisión para después, a los 16 años, unirse como cantante al grupo Hot Gossip, con el que logró varios éxitos radiales, especialmente I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper. En 1981 es seleccionada para incorporarse al reparto original del musical de teatro Cats -que se convertiría en el más popular del año-, estelarizando después la opera infantil Nightingale y presentándose además como cantante clásica en el Royal College of Music.

  • QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr
    QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr. Carol Mathieson Andrew Lloyd Webber relaunched musical theatre in the 1960’s in ways that welcomed electronic technology and rock music without allowing ephemeral fads to highjack well-crafted composition. And audiences responded, with younger aficionados swelling the general flock to the theatres. Tonight’s medley follows chronologically from earliest efforts with Tim Rice to turn Jesus Christ, Superstar— a scripture story recast in rock, produced as a concept album with basic plot, all the songs, and minimal dialog—into a stage show, opening in London’s West End. It was a mega-hit. Soon after came Evita about the Perón dictatorship in Argentina. Rice did not feel comfortable remolding established writing into lyrics, so for Cats, Lloyd Webber went directly to T.S. Eliot’s poetry. Song and Dance is a short musical play with lyrics by Don Black, paired with a short ballet with music Lloyd Webber wrote for his cellist brother Julien as variations on a Paganini caprice. However, Phantom of the Opera, with Charles Hart lyrics, was back to high drama. Phantom smashed attendance records in both London and New York, running for decades. Tonight’s medley opens and closes with songs from that iconic show. Nineteenth-century English musical theatre consisted of cheerful song and dance revues or badly translated, risqué French burlesques until Gilbert and Sullivan brought satirical, silly Savoy Operas to a family-friendly stage. QSC sings highlights from the first and the final masterpieces of these saviors of both the English and American musical stage.
