Description:
Benjamin Franklins Liebe für die Kunst der Musik ist in der amerikanischen Geschichte gut dokumentiert. Robert W. Smith hat drei musikalische Momente in Ben Franklins Leben ausgewählt und daraus diese einzigartige Komposition für Blasorchester geschaffen. Er beginnt mit einem Teil von 'My Plain Country Joan', einem Lied, das Franklin als Geburtstagsgeschenk für seine Frau komponierte - seine heitere Persönlichkeit kommt durch die Zeitlosigkeit seiner Musik zum Ausdruck. Der zweite Abschnitt basiert auf Franklins Glasharmonika. Der zarte und himmlische Klang dieses wunderbaren Instruments schaffen einen ruhigen Moment des Innehaltens für alle. Das Finale baut auf Franklins 'Magic Squares' auf, einem quadratischen Zahlenarrangement, in dem alle Zeilen, Spalten und Diagonalen die selbe Summe ergeben. Robert W. Smith beförderte eine Melodie aus einer Zahlenreihe in einem Magischen Quadrat mit 3x3 Zahlen. Die musikalische Aussage und die Fuge zeigen wirklich die enge Verbindung zwischen Mathematik und Musik. Ein bezauberndes Konzept und ein verblüffendes fächerübergreifendes Werk.
Benjamin Franklin's love for the art of music was well documented in American history. Robert W. Smith has selected three musical moments in Ben Franklin's life and created this unique composition for the concert band. Beginning with a setting of 'My Plain Country Joan.' a song composed as an anniversary gift to his wife, Franklin's jovial personality is evident through the timelessness of his music. The second section is based on Franklin's glass armonica. The delicate and ethereal sounds of this beautiful instrument provide a quiet moment of reflection for all. The finale is based on Franklin's 'magic squares.' an arrangement of numbers in a square where all rows, columns and diagonals add to the same sum. Robert W. Smith extracted the melody based on the numeric sequence in a 3 x 3 magic square. The resulting musical statement and fugue truly shows the close relationship between mathematics and music. An amazing concept, an amazing cross-curricular piece!
