Carl Orff & Gunild Keetman
Music For Children - Volume 4 Minor Drone Book 📚
English Version
For Voice, Recorder & Percussion
Carl Orff dedicated much of his life to developing a philosophy of "Music for Children," rooted in the belief that music naturally arises from speech, rhythm, and movement. This approach has had a profound impact on music and dance education globally, continuing today under the guidance of educators worldwide.
The "Music for Children" series, co-authored by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman, was originally published in Germany between 1950 and 1954. Since then, it has been adapted and translated into various languages to meet the needs of different educational systems, including an English version tailored for Canadian, American, and British students.
Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has revitalised music education at all levels, emphasising the interconnection of music, dance, and language through rhythm. It encourages children to explore and express themselves creatively through discovery, improvisation, and composition, all while contributing vocally and instrumentally.
This fourth volume, in particular, focuses on songs and pieces using the aeolian, dorian, and phrygian modes. The accompaniments are based on drone bass, with the addition of simple chords as the pieces progress. This 152-page volume, adapted by Margaret Murray, is an essential resource for teachers seeking to engage students in active music-making, laying a foundation for comprehensive musical training.
