UPC: 038081536378. English. Traditional Spiritual.
A clever arrangement of the traditional spiritual that includes a surprise nod to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus plus an optional part for autoharp! The pentatonic chorus is great for teaching or reinforcing solfège, while the harmonies are appropriately independent for developing singers. A few new words tell us more about the heroic boy, David. A terrific teaching piece that kids will enjoy!

The First Steps in Music curriculum becomes real in this DVD featuring FAME-certified master teachers Lindsay Jackson teaching a kindergarten class and Andrew Himelick teaching a first grade class. Shot in real-time in their own classrooms, both Jackson and Himelick sequence a wide variety of activities, teaching techniques, and strategies from John M. Feierabend’s curriculum. As with the other DVDs in the “In Action†series, each class includes an optional commentary track where Dr. Feierabend and the teachers describe in detail the decisions and approaches they take with their students. This DVD is a wonderful introduction to the First Steps in Music curriculum, demonstrates how a male teacher can model singing with young students, and includes at its heart the goal of helping every student become tuneful, beatful, and artful. Lindsay Jackson has been an elementary music teacher and choral conductor for 13 years and currently teaches in Bryn Mawr, PA. She sings soprano and enjoys accompanying her students on guitar, dulcimer, autoharp, and ukulele.

The Geminis Concertino was written in 2005 and dedicated to Gerard Claret and the National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra (ONCA).
The work, as its name implies, is a small-scale concerto for violin and 15 string instruments. Its score is basically a chamber piece in which the solo part never takes an overly virtuoso role. Conceived as a single movement, played without interruption, its internal construction consists of three classic sections: A, bars 1-72, B, bars 73-161, and C, from bar 162 to the end of the piece. Part B begins with the two opening measures of Bela Bartok's Violin Concerto simply as a reminder of a composer and a work that has impressed me since I was very young.I should confess that the entire Geminis Concertino has a certain Bartokian air that I attribute to the love I have always professed for this composer and that lately seems to affect me much as it did in my youth.--The author. Barcelona, march 2006
Comentarios del Espanol: Concertino Geminis es una obra escrita el ano 2005, que dedique a Gerard Claret y a la Orquestra de Cambra de Andorra.
La obra, como su nombre indica, es un pequeno concierto para violin y 15 instrumentos de cuerda, sin que la parte solista tome nunca un papel excesivamente virtuosistico, ya que la partitura tiene un caracter eminentemente cameristico. Concebida en un solo tiempo y, por lo tanto, interpretada sin interrupcion, su construccion interna la constituyen los tres movimientos clasicos: A, del compas 1 al 72; B, del compas 73 al 161; y C, del compas 162 al final. La parte B comienza con los dos primeros compases del Concierto para violin de Bela Bartok, simplemente como recuerdo de un compositor y de una obra que, ya desde muy joven, me impresionaron.
Debo confesar que entiendo que todo el Concertino Geminis adquiere un cierto aire bartokiano, que atribuyo al amor que siempre he profesado por ese autor y que ultimamente vuelve a estar presente, igual como lo estuvo en mi juventud.--El autor. Barcelona, marzo de 2006
