 * The Pietraopaolos are here at last and they work now. This was a difficult task and the children are really putting a lot of thought, effort and feeling into it. Listen to how often the children caught the tone and character of the instrument and/or the piece they used. **

 * Summer is upon us! This week we listen to Felix Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream. At first it sounds like a lot of twiddly violins. But on closer listening we hear the Wedding March, the sounds of a rather meddlesome and menacing Fairy King and Queen, and a lot of people acting very strangely. There are of course the amazing sounds of a magical forest in the nighttime. **

 * Listen here for samples: **
 * Overture Mendelssohn wrote this when he was 17 years old. **
 * Scherzo Listen for the flute solo, the music of Puck, the muckraking servant fairy. I wonder if that is Puck himself conducting. A scherzo is a light and fun piece of music. Does this music sound playful? **
 * [|The Wedding March] I think we all recognize this one. **
 * [|Further Listening] **
 * The Characters from Shakespeare's play. It can be hard to keep them all straight. **

Listen to your chosen instrument in the piece of music. Give it a character. Is it happy, sad, bossy, frightening, frightened, impatient, helpful, beautiful, heroic, magical? Is it cheerful or in a bad mood? Imagine what the music is telling you about what that character might do, think, and say. Tell the story you imagine. You can use a whole song or a small part of one. || If you take the most famous solos for a given instrument of the orchestra, you’ll find a vivid character emerges — a character with a magical story to tell. That’s the idea behind Orchestral Tales, Season 3 of the award-winning Signature Series. = Click the picture to visit the Signature Series. =
