The
sounds in this panorama are of the Minnesota Orchestra playing composer
Paul Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", based on the Goethe
ballad Der
Zauberlehrling, which most people know from the Disney
movie Fantasia.
We have links to RealAudio sounds inside this image-- when the cursor
turns to a globe , just click to open the sound.
Each
one of these links is a small clip of music.
You
can also go directly to the audio links:
- Bassoon
- listen, do you think it sound like the music of walking?
- Clarinet
- listen, when compared to the contrabassoon above, do the clarinets
sound more 'assured' to you?
- Cymbals
- usually cymbals don't play too often in a piece- what do you
think is happening?
- Flute
- listen, do high pitched sounds make you think of small things
or big things? Light or heavy?
- Glockenschpiel
- listen, would the flutes alone convey the same sense of playfulnes
without the brightness of the glockenschpiel's notes?
- Harp
pluck
- listen, the space between the notes is as important as the notes.
Does it make you feel calm?
- Timpani
- listen below the clarinets- can you hear the low drum?
- Triangle
- listen, could this be the sound of a water droplet?
- Trumpets
- compare this to the bassoon - the first on this list-which plays
the same notes. Does the trumpet make the mood more or less tense?
-
Viola - listen, toward the end of this passage, does the viola's
solitary voice make you think of things calming down?
