H1: Exploring the Orchestra: A Young Person's Guide
Welcome to the captivating world of the orchestra! This guide provides a fun and informative journey into the heart of orchestral music, designed specifically for young people. We'll uncover the secrets behind the stunning sounds, the amazing instruments, and the incredible teamwork that makes an orchestra so magical.
H2: The Instrument Families: Meeting the Musicians
The orchestra is like a giant family, made up of different sections, each with its own unique instruments and sounds. Think of it as a musical puzzle where each piece – each instrument – is vital to completing the beautiful picture.
Strings: The heart of the orchestra, the strings create soaring melodies and rich harmonies. Violas, violins (both smaller and larger ones!), cellos, and double basses all work together, producing a diverse range of tones. Learn to identify their unique sounds – the soaring violins, the mellow violas, the rich cellos, and the deep, resonant double basses.
Woodwinds: These instruments use air to create their sound, and each has its own distinct character. Flutes sound bright and airy, clarinets are expressive and versatile, oboes have a warm, slightly nasal tone, and bassoons provide a deeper, richer sound.
Brass: The brass section offers powerful and majestic sounds, often heard in heroic or triumphant moments. Trumpets, French horns, trombones, and tubas each contribute to the richness of orchestral music. Notice how their sounds vary in brightness and tone.
Percussion: The percussion section is the most diverse, with a wide variety of instruments creating a rhythm and texture. Drums, cymbals, xylophones, timpani (kettledrums), and countless other instruments add excitement and color to the orchestral sound. Pay attention to the different sounds and rhythms each one creates.
H2: Understanding Orchestral Music: A Young Person's Approach
Listening to an orchestra can feel overwhelming at first, but with a little guidance, it becomes an enriching experience.
Dynamics: Notice how the music changes in volume (loud and soft – forte and piano). This is called dynamics and it helps to create emotional impact.
Tempo: Observe how the speed of the music changes (fast and slow – allegro and adagio). This is the tempo and significantly affects the overall mood.
Melody and Harmony: Listen for the main tune (melody) and how other instruments create a supporting sound (harmony) simultaneously. This interplay creates the rich tapestry of orchestral music.
Structure: Many orchestral pieces have clear sections. Pay attention to the structure – how the music builds, changes, and resolves.
H2: Attending an Orchestra Concert: Tips for Young Listeners
Going to a live concert is an amazing experience! Here are some tips to enhance your enjoyment:
Dress comfortably: You'll want to focus on the music, so choose comfortable clothing.
Arrive early: Settle in and get comfortable before the concert starts.
Listen attentively: Try to focus on the different sections of the orchestra and how they interact.
Ask questions: Don't hesitate to ask questions about the music after the concert.
H2: Common Pitfalls and How to Overcome Them
Feeling overwhelmed: The sheer volume of sound can be daunting. Start by focusing on one instrument family at a time.
Lack of understanding: Use resources like this guide and online videos to learn more about orchestral instruments and music.
Difficulty concentrating: Take breaks if needed. It's okay to not focus on the entire performance at once.
Not knowing what to expect: Do some research about the composer and the piece before attending a concert.
H3: Resources for Young Orchestral Enthusiasts
There are many resources available to help you delve deeper into the world of the orchestra. Check out websites like the website of your local orchestra, educational YouTube channels dedicated to classical music, and interactive apps that teach about different instruments.

| a young persons guide to the orchestra: Britten's Children John Bridcut, 2007-06 Britten's Children confronts the edgy subject of the composer's obsessional yet strangely innocent relationships with adolescent boys. One of the hallmarks of Benjamin Britten's music is his use of boys' voices, and John Bridcut uses this to create a fresh prism through which to view the composer's life. Interweaving discussion of the music he wrote for and about children with interviews with the boys whom Britten befriended, Bridcut explores the influence of these unique friendships - notably with the late David Hemmings - and how they helped Britten maintain links with his own happy childhood. In a remarkable part of the book Bridcut tells for the first time the full story of Britten's love affair in the 1930s with the 18-year-old German Wulff Scherchen, son of the conductor Hermann Scherchen. As Paul Hoggart of The Times commented, 'this type of love belonged to an emotional landscape that has vanished for ever, and we are the poorer for it'. Since making the film, the author has extended his research to include friendships Britten had with children which have not previously been documented.The documentary Britten's Children won the Royal Philharmonic Society's 2005 Award for Creative Communication: 'this serious and beautiful film explored one aspect of a composer's life in great depth. Avoiding the temptation of sensationalism, Britten's Children was imaginatively researched and both touching and revelatory'. |

| a young persons guide to the orchestra: The rite of spring Igor Stravinsky, 2000-01-01 With this brilliant and uncompromising work perhaps the most famous musical work of the twentieth century Stravinsky changed the course of modern music forever. Discarding conventional harmonies for bizarrely dissonant chords, and uniform metrics for harshly jarring beat patterns, he created a sensational theater piece that, at the work's 1931 premier, caused the music world's most talked-about riot. Every law of musical syntax, every canon of harmony seems to have been violated, every limit of rhythmic perversity and eccentricity of orchestration exceeded in this tumultuous cataclysm of sound, says Grove's; yet with all its deliberate crudity and violence the 'Rite' is a clearly planned and perfectly controlled and coordinated piece of music [that] has long been accepted universally as a masterpiece and is in the repertory of every large symphony orchestra. Reproduced here from an authoritative edition, the score is ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall. This affordable, durable, and portable volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike. |

But the composer is still dead. Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects.

To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M |

It is more than a superb and tragic novel; it's a historical treasure.-Boston Globe Set on the outskirts of Umuahia, Nigeria and narrated by a chi, or guardian spirit, An Orchestra of Minorities tells the story of Chinonso, a young poultry farmer whose soul is ignited when he sees a woman attempting to jump from a highway bridge. Horrified by her recklessness, Chinonso joins her on the roadside and hurls two of his prized chickens into the water below to express the severity of such a fall. The woman, Ndali, is stopped her in her tracks. Bonded by this night on the bridge, Chinonso and Ndali fall in love. But Ndali is from a wealthy family and struggles to imagine a future near a chicken coop. When her family objects to the union because he is uneducated, Chinonso sells most of his possessions to attend a college in Cyprus. But when he arrives he discovers there is no place at the school for him, and that he has been utterly duped by the young Nigerian who has made the arrangements... Penniless, homeless, and furious at a world which continues to relegate him to the sidelines, Chinonso gets further away from his dream, from Ndali and the farm he called home. Spanning continents, traversing the earth and cosmic spaces, and told by a narrator who has lived for hundreds of years, the novel is a contemporary twist of Homer's Odyssey.
