BOY:
-
In order to show you how
|
2 |
00:01:31.717 |
00:01:34.220 |
|
-
a big symphony
-
orchestra is put together,
|
3 |
00:01:34.303 |
00:01:37.398 |
|
-
Benjamin Britten
-
has written a big piece of music,
|
4 |
00:01:37.472 |
00:01:39.224 |
|
-
which is made up
-
of smaller pieces
|
5 |
00:01:39.308 |
00:01:42.312 |
|
-
that show you all
-
the separate parts of the orchestra.
|
6 |
00:01:42.394 |
00:01:45.147 |
|
-
These smaller pieces
-
are called variations,
|
7 |
00:01:45.230 |
00:01:48.734 |
|
-
which means different ways
-
of playing the same tune.
|
8 |
00:01:48.859 |
00:01:52.079 |
|
-
First of all,
-
he lets us hear the tune or the theme,
|
9 |
00:01:52.154 |
00:01:53.280 |
|
-
which is a beautiful melody
|
10 |
00:01:53.363 |
00:01:56.742 |
|
-
by the much older
-
British composer Henry Purcell.
|
11 |
00:01:56.825 |
00:02:1.296 |
|
-
Here is Purcell's theme
-
played by the whole orchestra together.
|
12 |
00:02:30.525 |
00:02:34.496 |
|
-
Now, Mr. Britten lets you hear
-
the four different families of the orchestra
|
13 |
00:02:34.571 |
00:02:37.541 |
|
-
playing the same Purcell theme
-
in different ways.
|
14 |
00:02:37.616 |
00:02:39.414 |
|
-
First, we hear
-
the woodwind family.
|
15 |
00:02:39.493 |
00:02:43.168 |
|
-
The flutes, the oboes,
-
the clarihets and the bassoohs.
