1.- How would you describe the "program music"? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
The music program is a type of artistic music that tries to represent musically a musical narrative. The narrative itself could be offered to the audience in the form of program notes, inviting imaginative correlations with the music.
2.- Choose
one of the next examples (worked already a bit in Music classes) and do
some research about the composer (4 or 5 lines are enough).
Bedrich Smetana was born on 2 March, 1824 in Bohemia and he died on 12 May, 1884. Smetana, was a composer and had a natural talent for the piano and gave his first recital at age six. After receiving a conventional education at school, he studied music with Josef Proksch in Prague. He went to Sweden, where he established himself as a teacher and choir director in Gothenburg and began writing large-scale orchestral works, during this period of his life, Smetana was married twice and had six children, of whom three died during his childhood.
3.- This is the musical piece we are playing
in the class. Do you believe the composer transmits the title meaning
in a good manner? Why?
Yes, because the notes are soft and gives the feeling as if the sun was coming out and that's why the title and the song are related
