Music

Music Rhapsody in Blue (excerpt) by George Gershwin –

Firstly, click on the link below and watch Radzi Chinyanganya introduce the piece and tell us about Gershwin’s love of Jazz and Blues. George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue is full of the sounds and energy of 1920s New York.

George Gershwin – Rhapsody in Blue (excerpt) - BBC Teach

Then watch Pianist Lauren Zhang join the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue (same link as above).

This piece of music is describing something that we hear in cities all around the world even today. Can you guess what it is?

Write down all the things that you image while listening to this piece of music. For example: What does the clarinet sound like? Gershwin thought it sounded like the siren of a police car.

Look at this picture of the New York Skyline. Then listen to the orchestra’s performance of the piece again. what is the music describing? Use your imagination, you are going to draw a city with all its rushing people, transport, noise and what Gershwin called ‘metropolitan madness’. You are not drawing the orchestra and its players and instruments. What does your city look like? Use the music to help you create your sprawling city.
