Sabina Vidulin, THE “LISTENING TO AND MAKING MUSIC” APPROACH ...
Music making activity
The composition made by a group of seventh-grade pupils is shown in appendix 6. Pupils
attended the extracurricular musical activity of playing and music making for two years.
The song is written in c minor and has a binary form, with the two parts contrasting in
melodical and rhythmical sense. The first part has a gradual ascending and descending
melodical contour, while the second part is characterized by two rhythmical patterns
and with minor interval leaps.
Appendix 6: Zima (Winter); from the book Glazbeno stvaralaštvo (Vidulin - Orbaniæ), p. 103
Listening activity with different melodical variations
In the following examples, while listening to music, pupils may recognize the theme,
character, instruments, tempo, dynamics, contrast, repetition, scale, melody and rhythm
contour, musical form, harmony.
Bizet’s Prelude from the suite N. 1 L’Arlésienne is written in the binary form. It is
distinctive because of the transformation of the main theme. The theme is brought by
strings, with a strong character. The second appearing of the theme is characterized by the
replacement of instruments, dynamic gradations and rhythmical evolution. The second
melody contrasts the first with different melody and character with evident support by the
rhythmical instruments. The theme in the third appearance is in major, with a soft
character and uniform dynamics. Wind instruments are discretely contrasting. In the
fourth appearing, the theme is changing the character into a march and has a united sound
given by the symphonic orchestra.
V. Babin’s Jazz variations on theme Ah, vous dirai-je Maman shows a theme in the a a b a
form with simple harmonization based on classical harmony and then starts the jazz
expressions of the theme. The changes regard: rhythmical contrast, syncopations,
