Volume One, “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” Page 1 The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra October 12, 13 and 18, November 1 and 2, 2011 The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is probably Benjamin Britten’s most performed work, and with good reason. Commissioned in 1946 for film that would introduce British children to the orchestra, the piece is a masterful essay on orchestral tone color. It is cast in the form of a series of variations, based on a hornpipe by 17th century British composer Henry Purcell. Each variation features a different family of instruments in the orchestra, and the whole piece concludes with a rousing fugue. Sixty-five years later, it has now inspired generations of music lovers to learn and listen more. What better place to experience such a powerful work than the glorious Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center? For young children, learning is experiential and multi-sensory, and a concert at the Meyerson provides a rich and stimulating sensory environment. The preparation and follow-up lessons suggested in this guide are designed to help teachers capitalize on this exciting learning experience with their stu- dents. Recognizing that learning progresses from the known to the unknown, and that repetition is essential to comprehension, the lessons and activities in this guide are based on experiences that are accessible to the child both at school and at home. The accompanying CD will be of enormous help here, so feel free to use it in any way that will allow your students to become both familiar and comfortable with the music they will hear at the concert. I’m also excited to introduce you and your students to a new friend of the DSO: Bleeckie Streetie. You can read all about her on page 4, and follow her exploits at the Meyerson on DSOkids.com Young children are naturally responsive to music. Because of this, attending a Dallas Symphony Or- chestra youth concert offers a wide variety of learning opportunities, and every lesson in this guide will help young listeners be attentive to, and develop an understanding of, some of the world’s greatest mu- sic. So take advantage of it. I look forward to seeing both you and your students in the Fall!
