The "Fate" motive??
What makes a thing a thing? What makes the Beethoven 5 the Beethoven 5? Let's explore the "Fate" motive from this iconic work using the clips below. Which versions retain their Beethoven-ness? Which versions no longer sound like Beethoven? How else could we "play" with this motive and it still count as the Beethoven 5?
Original
Embodied Narrative
One way that children respond to music is by creating narratives. Embodied narratives are performed without words, using only the physical shapes and movements that children create with their bodies. In this process, children "read" the "text" of the music, then interpret it and infer a narrative. They "write" the narrative using their bodies as another "text." When they share their narratives, other students then "read" the new "text" in their embodied narratives.
