Music Appreciation: G.F. Handel
Today 3rd graders did a little Baroque period music appreciation after their other music lessons. We listened to "La giustizia" from Handel's opera, "Giulio Cesare." The students listened and identified music families, tempo, dynamics and tone color. Listen with them again and have them talk to you about some of the things we discussed. We also identified a new instrument: The Harpsichord!
Later this week we will do more listening from pieces such as Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah" and other composition such as "Water Music" and "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from "Solomon".
