Description

SKU CLB012402200

Benjamin Franklins love for the art of music was well documented in American history. Robert W. Smith has selected three musical moments in BenFranklins life and created this unique composition for the concert ban d. Beginning with a setting of "My Plain Country Joan." a song composedas an anniversary gift to his wife, Franklins jovial personality is ev ident through the timelessness of his music. The second section is based on Franklins glass armonica. The delicate and ethereal sounds of this beautiful instrument provide a quiet moment of reflection for all. The finale is based on Franklins "magic squares." an arrangement of numbers in a square where all rows, columns and diagonals add to the same sum. Robert W. Smith extracted the melody based on the numeric sequence ina 3 x 3 magic square. The resulting musical statement and fugue truly shows the close relationship between mathematics and music. An amazing concept, an amazing cross-curricular piece! Benjamin Franklin and the Art of Music Composer: Robert W. Smith Publisher: C.L. Barnhouse Company Series: Concert Band
