Production: “Our music”
Description:
Our music, your music, the music of all of us!
A song, inspired by some of 1821’s heroes’ attributes, unity, enthousiasm, devotion to a shared goal, attributes that helped Greece initiate and continue the Greek War of Independence of 1821, which led to the Nation’s freedom, protected and kept its Ideals of Faith and dedication to one’s fatherland, alive. Unity, enthousiasm and devotion to the shared goal of creating a song together helped our schools’ fourth grade students embrace this effort. The idea was conceived during one of our music classes, when we were talking about music’s attribute to unite people, make them smile, move them or even cure them. One of the students composed her own words and melody, which was embraced by her fellow students, who learned, sang and played musical instruments to accompany the song. The experience of working together towards a shared musical and creative goal gave the class a chance to see their progress through rehearsals and experience the result of their efforts.
These are the words:
“If you become a musician, the sky will shine and you will have magical friendships, strong and eternal! When you sing, everyone will be looking at you, applaud and take off their hat to you! Music is a magical word, that everyone deserves to share. Music makes you happy, music moves you, music cures you. When we all sing, people will be looking at us, applauding, and we will have magical friendships, strong and eternal. Our music, your music, the music of all of us!”
