Unit 5 Music Listening and Speaking Look and Discuss 1. What can you say about the place where they are giving the performance? 2. What kind of music do you think they are performing? 3. Do you like classical music? How often do you (go to a concert to) listen to classical music? Look and Discuss The performers are all playing instruments as part of an orchestra. The place where the performance is being given looks like somewhere built especially for such performances. Their seats are arranged on different levels so the conductor can see everyone in the orchestra. Look and Discuss The photograph shows an orchestra performing. The word “orchestra” comes from ancient Greek and refers to the semi-circular shape in front of a theatre stage where the musicians played accompanying music. Orchestras usually play classical music. They can have anywhere between 30 and 100 players. The man facing the orchestra is a conductor; he moves his hands and uses different gestures to help the orchestra perform in unison. Note orchestra n.（大型的）管弦乐队 semi-circular adj. 半圆形的 accompanying music 伴奏乐 conductor n.（乐队）指挥 The orchestra is comprised of different “districts”, playing different families of instruments, such as the “woodwind” family, playing flutes, oboes, and clarinets. The “string” family (violin, cello, double bass) is often placed at the front nearest the conductor, whereas the louder families of “brass” and “percussion” are at the back. However, this layout varies depending on the orchestra or country. An orchestra usually wears smart clothes for performances, which usually take place in special venues designed for better sound. 竖琴 定音鼓 圆号 低音提琴 大提琴 中提琴 低音管 双簧管 长笛 单簧管 小号 长号 大号 弦乐器组 木管乐器组 铜管 乐器组 打击乐器组 Orchestra Instrument Positions Before you listen, discuss the question in groups.
