Teacher's Note - Objective: listen to
and identify nature sounds in music
Activity:
Listen to excerpts of music from Before
the War, an audio CD produced by David Rothenberg and Douglas
Quin. Together, they have interwoven the sounds of nature and
the music of instruments.
While listening to the
excerpts below, ask yourself the following questions:
- What nature sounds do you hear?
- How do the instruments interact with the nature sounds?
- Do the instruments enhance the nature sounds, or do the nature
sounds enhance the instruments?
