The orchestra is first noted in 1597 when Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612) wrote the Sacre Symphoniae. It then evolves in the Baroque period with the standardization of the violin and the introduction of the oboe. During the Classical period, brass instruments are added to the orchestra as are timpani and pianos. Woodwinds did not take center stage until the Romantic period of the 19th century. Finally in the 1900's, additional percussion instruments are used, jazz emerges, and computers are used to enhance sound. Oiya, ada banyak fakta mengejutkan yang saya dapat dari buku ini, contohnya Debussy yang terinspirasi oleh alat musik gamelan dalam acara Paris Exposition pada tahun 1889 sehingga menghasilkan musik baru! (ini maksudnya gamelan..gamelan Indonesia?! woww.. kalau bener dari Indonesia, berarti musisi Indonesia di tahun 1889 udah go international. PR banget buat saya nyari tau tentang gamelan).

Artistic Pursuits for Homeschooling High School– ARTistic Pursuits High School Level is a two book art appreciation and art skills course for high schoolers. Each book can be used as a full credit of art for high school.Then, we turned to Part I: Composers. In a similiar manner, the chapters are arranged by Era: baroque, classical, romantic and modern. After a brief introduction to what made the era unique and how it fit into the progression or development of orchestral expression, individual composers of the era are biographied. Silly facts about them are fun, and the opportunity to listen to specific works that demonstrate their style is fantastic. But once again, there are gaps that have to be filled in. Music selections are NOT provided for ALL the composers and we had to fill in again from the internet. Much of the text, be it in the instrument or composer section, is repetitive and the necessity to fill in from the internet is disappointing. When it was 'working' we enjoyed it immensely, when it wasn't we struggled through. Why couldn't they edit/ finish it to get the fine product they are on the verge of?!

I list only a few of the many that the CD offers: After reading the book we played the full length pieces of some of the ones Floss really enjoyed. She also wanted to learn about some of the instruments. The London Philharmonia Orchestra have a great series on YouTube that give you a wonderful introduction to different instruments. We looked at a few – Floss’ favourite was the flute. They are a great series to refer to when looking at instruments. We also used some mini models of instrument s too. These are so cute and Floss enjoys using them to form Orchestras and bands with her toys.
