Listening Map: Promenade From Pictures at an Exhibition
Instrument Families • Before we do our listening, let’s review some BrainPop pages on instrument families: • The Brass Family • What instruments are in this family? • The String Family • How many ways are there to play a stringed instrument? • The Woodwind Family • What instruments are in this family? • Are they all made of wood? • The Percussion Family • What kinds of instruments did you see here? • Can there be other kinds of percussion instruments?
Instrument Families What are some instruments you see here? What families do they belong to?
Promenade • This is a movement, one of several that make up the work Pictures at an Exhibition, by Mussorgsky. • What does the word promenade mean? • Do you remember what timbre means? • Example: the clarinet has a distinct sound. • Each instrument family sounds a certain way. • Solos (one) sound different than tutti(all).
Listen for: • Solos • Instrumentfamilies • Tap each footprint as you “promenade” along with the beat of the music.
What did you hear? • What solo instruments did you hear? • Remember, solo means that the instrument is played by itself, or with the rest of the orchestra playing softly. • What groups of instruments did you hear? • Remember the instrument families, woodwind, brass, strings, and percussion. • What instrument family didn’t you hear? • Were there any singers?
