In response to Classics for Kids: Musical Conversation
This weeks Classics for Kids spoke about instances when music reflects dialogue. The broadcast opened up with an example of musical gossip, with twittering instruments to reflect the twittering of gossiping women. One of my favorite aspects about music is this ability to reflect life as we understand it in a more fun and beautiful way. One of my favorite examples from this week's broadcast was Eric Kotes' musical version of Goldie Locks and the Three Bears. The statements of "who's been sitting in my chair" not only reflected the emotion of the question with different pitches, but the notes reflected the number of syllables in the question. Music is just as capable of having a conversation with pitches and rhythms as a person is with words and voice inflections.
