The time in this sheet of music is 4/4. This mean that each measure gets four beats. The solid green G, a quarter note, receives one beat. When the green G is open, a half note, it receives two beats. The space between one dark vertical line and another dark vertical line is called a measure. The song shown, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, is shown in Treble Clef and is organized in measures for the musician.
Written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936, "Peter and the Wolf" is a children's story that uses orchestral instruments. I had never heard or seen Peter and the Wolf and found it very interesting when we were able to watch it in class. Each character in this story is portrayed by a different musical instrument and theme. Peter is played by strings in the orchestra and the wolf is played by the french horns. Other instruments in this musical film include, the bassoon which is played as the Grandfather, the flute which is played as the bird, the duck is played by the oboe, as well as the hunters are played by the timpani. I do not remember an alligator in the story, however the clarinet was used to play for the cat. I felt as though this film was very interesting and the music allowed the story to provide a more dramatic appeal. I would love to watch other versions to see the differences.
