Jazz | A Note from Ken Burns | Ken Burns - 1 views

  • They're the three most beautiful things Americans have ever created.
    • s61white
       
      Jazz is one of the greatest things Americans will be remembered for? That is a pretty weighty statement/
  • Jazz has offered a precise prism through which so much of American history can be seen — it is a curious and unusually objective witness to the 20th Century. It is the story of two world wars and a devastating Depression — the soundtrack that helped Americans get through the worst of times.
  • nd Jazz is also a story about race and race relations and prejudice, about minstrelsy and Jim Crow, lynchings and civil rights. Jazz explores the uniquely American paradox that our greatest art form was created by those who have had the peculiar experience of being unfree in our supposedly free land
    • s61white
       
      I tend to agree with this statement. So much of the jazz idioms are also found in the gospel music of African churches.

  •  
    Great resource for teachers with students who would like to pursue a career as a music teacher. Also contains helpful links to a variety of associations for current music teachers.

Jazz | Music 101 | Ken Burns - 0 views

  • "Composition is slowed down improvisation," and both disciplines deal with the same challenge — how to organize and present ideas in a coherent fashion.
  • One of the most common misconceptions about jazz is that it is spun out of the air in a totally impromptu manner. This notion exists because many small jazz groups do not read music when they play. The truth of the matter is that what those musicians are actually doing is spontaneously creating a very sophisticated form of theme and variations
  • The framework is flexible so that the soloists may shorten or lengthen their improvisations depending on the inspiration of the moment. The other players, then, have a responsibility to react to what has preceded them
    • s61white
       
      Creativity in music research offers a great deal of insight on this idea in improvisation that can be applied to more idioms than jazz.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • To many, composed music and improvised music seem to be opposites, but in jazz, they merge in a unique fashion.
  • But improvisation is not the be all and end all of jazz. Composers such as Duke Ellington and Eddie Sauter wrote, on occasion, jazz compositions practically devoid of improvisation. But the real challenge comes when a composer integrates improvisation into a

    IPA Source is an excellent resource for any choral director, especially if you include foreign language pieces in your repertoire. Not only does this site offer IPA translations and guides for your knowledge, but you can even use it as a resource to teach your students the International Phonetic Alphabet. This resource is not entirely free, but the subscriptions are relatively affordable for educational institutions.

LSO Play - 0 views

  •  
    Allows you to watch performances from different angles in order to see the conductor and different instrumentalists. Allows for a unique view of an orchestra where you can be up close to the people playing in a way that the full view of an orchestra doesn't allow. The interactive nature of being able to change camera angles is also engaging, and would get students interested in seeing the different facets of a whole symphonic performance.
