Orff-Schulwerk CD
Item #:

Price:
$47.95
This 3-CD set contains extracts from the five-volume English edition of Carl Orff's
Music for Children. As with the examples in the books, the songs and
pieces on these CDs should not be considered as parts of a blueprint, but rather as
as outline sketches that can be varied, modified or extended as the situation
demands. The Schulwerk idea is one that transplants well, founded as it is on the
basic elements of language, music and dance, with which children are encouraged
to play and improvise, so that, through the use of simple forms, they
will be able to make their own music. The pieces of these CDs are performed
on Orff instruments, small
and
orchestral percussion, brass and strings. Historical instruments such as recorders,
sorduns, crumhorns, viols and harpsichord are also used. The singers and
speakers are from a variety of English, Welsh and German schools with professional
musicians playing instruments.
