Cool Stuff # 2 (Africa, Latin America, The Blues)

I was really intrigued by the Venezuelan Orchestra you had mentioned in class so I decided to go look them up. And, they are playing Beethoven's 5th! Here's just one video.



When Katie mentioned this in class, it made me smile. I actually haven't listened to the song in a while and listening to the lyrics was interesting for me since I haven't in a while. Enjoy!



I really like panpipes and decided to find more music involving them. Here's one of many I found!

  1. The Venezuelan Orchestra was really good! My music therapy ensemble class had a conversation about moving while you are playing your instrument or singing. It was very interesting to see that all of the musicians were very animated. I love "America" from West Side Story! I agree, the song seems much different when you actually listen to the lyrics. Usually, I just listen to the music and watch the dancing. The panpipes are so relaxing. I wonder how many relaxation cd's have these instruments on them.
