Breakfast Jams: Morning Mood
What's the typical mood in your home in the morning?
Crabby? Calm? Stressful?
Edvard Grieg wrote a gorgeous piece of music called Morning Mood for his work, Peer Gynt. (You can read more about Edvard Grieg and the story of Peer Gynt here.)
This piece is
Lyrical
Peaceful
Harmonic
Lush
It's the perfect song to play as your morning soundtrack!
What to Listen for:
1. The Morning Melody
The melody to this piece is so beautiful and flowing. You can hear it being played by the flute in the first 10 seconds of the piece.
Listen to the flute play the main melody of the piece.
2. "Pass the Melody Please"
After the melody is played by the flute you'll notice it getting passed around to different instruments of the orchestra. Can you find where the different instruments get a chance to play it?
Use this listening sheet to help you write down what you hear.
