Working title of project / TRADITIONAL MUSIC: THE COMMON AND THE DIFFERENT IN THE EUROPEAN IDENTITIES
Working language of project / English
General idea of project / Traditional music is a constitutive element of any society. It helps us to know better its way of life and values system. The industrialisation of western societies, and the strong pressure by the urban culture, creates a frame where traditional music suffers to survive, and the new generations ignore their roots increasingly.
This activity is aimed at 14-18 (?) years old students. It would consist in:
- Recording popular songs from the student’s frame.
- Analysis of the lyrics (lexical, topics, symbols, metrics…)
- Analysis of the music (key, rhythm, instruments…)
- Adapt them for school and classical instruments.
- Singing and playing our own songs and the collected from other countries.
- Collecting everything (music sheets, recordings, pictures, audio, video…) in a website, DVD and CD-Rom.
Objectives:
- To study of music as a system of communication and cultural transmission.
- Awareness about the own cultural heritage and to appreciate it as a constitutive piece of the international mosaic.
- To value that cultures are complementary: not superior, not inferior either.
- Sensitisation and knowledge about other societies, and thinking over the common and the different elements.
- Approach to the European linguistic diversity, valuing the importance of learning languages.
