Here is another In the Hall of the Mountain King video! The same creator as the original one, decided to try to make it 3D. See what musical symbols you find as you watch and listen to this piece.

In the Hall of the Mountain King was composed in 1875. Since then, it has been redone MANY times. Here are 7 different versions to listen to. Which one is your favorite and why?
Congratulations, Thurston Herons, on (ALMOST) finishing up the year. I wish we could be together to finish up all of our end of year activities. I took the song, "Don't Give Up On Me," and created a version for all of you. Miss you, and hope to see you soon! This video deals with something called cymatics. Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration. In this video, you will hear AND see music. Watch how the different vibrations and frequencies of the music can change what happens to liquids and particles. This is Lira Masuda. She is 10 years old! This performance took place in February at George Mason University. She is performing a piece called Polonaise de concert, Op. 4 by Henri Wieniawski. Here is the Super Mario Brothers theme song on Marimba. Played by Aaron Groves, he uses 4 mallets to do it! The didgeridoo is an Australian wind instrument. It can measure anywhere from 3-10 feet long. The longer the didgeridoo, the lower it usually plays. Below is a video of Adele and Zalem. They are from France and have been playing the didgeridoo since 2002. They started playing duets in 2013. Here is a piece called Timeless. In choir, we have worked on an arrangement of this song. This version is played with accordions! This group, the Crazy Accordion Trio, is from Poland. They play covers of many pieces, and like to share their love of accordions with others. For Star Wars day (May the Fourth...be with you!) here is the Star Wars theme song for boomwhackers. Even if you don't have boomwhackers, you can still do this song at home. If you have another instrument, you could play these notes. Or, you could play the rhythm of the piece by using objects at home. Many items you have lying around can make music. You could use spoons, pencils, a table or chair--anything that can make a beat. (Just don't use something that can break!) Enjoy the video! What did you use to make music with this piece? This video features Alvin Chung, a percussionist from Maryland. During this time of online learning, he decided to create a laptop version of "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. It was originally composed in 1899. |
