Conversational Solfege is a curriculum for developing music literacy skills. It is organized around increasingly complex rhythmic and melodic content. Each new rhythmic or melodic element is discovered first in patterns and then reinforced with folk songs, rhymes, and classical examples. This CD provides 29 classical selections referenced in Conversational Solfege Level 3. These examples provide reinforcement for emerging literacy skills, and they also enable students to listen to wonderful classical examples with greater attention. Listening to classical music can be challenging for elementary students. With nothing to hang onto, the many notes can be too much to comprehend and attention soon wanes. But with minimal literacy skills, students will have enough musical information to discover that classical music can be accessible and appealing. In the booklet, timings are given for each selection. The portions of the music that are readable by the students are reproduced. Whether using this CD with Conversational Solfege instructional materials or simply as a resource of classical music with simple-to-read rhythmic and melodic material, both teachers and students will delight in discovering this wonderful music through literacy.  CONTENTS Conversational Solfege Unit 14: 1.

Flamenco is a style of music, usually played on the guitar to accompany dancing and singing, that has its home in Andalusia in southern Spain. It has its roots in the years of Moorish rule of the region (711-1492) although the modern flamenco style dates only from the 18th century. La Caracola (which is the Spanish name for the triton sea shell) is an annual festival of flamenco that takes place around the region’s capital, Seville, annually in May. This piece does not contain any traditional flamenco melodies but does capture wonderfully the colour, passion and energy of this seductive music in a ‘must-have’ work for Beginner Bands.Flamenco, een muziekstijl die gewoonlijk op de gitaar wordt gespeeld ter begeleiding van dans en zang, komt uit Andalusië in het zuiden van Spanje. De wortels liggen in de jaren van Moorse overheersing in de regio (711-1492), maarde moderne flamencostijlen dateren uit de achttiende eeuw. La Caracolá (de Spaanse benaming voor de tritonshoorn) is een jaarlijks flamencofestival dat in mei plaatsvindt rond Sevilla, de hoofdstad van de streek. Dit werk bevat geentraditionele flamencomelodieën, maar vangt de kleur en energie van deze verleidelijke muziek in een werk voor beginnende blaasorkesten.Der Flamenco ist in Andalusien in Südspanien zu Hause und wird gewöhnlich auf der Gitarre, zur Begleitung von Tanz und Gesang, gespielt. La Caracolá nennt sich ein Flamenco-Festival, das jedes Jahr im Mai rund um die Landeshauptstadt Sevilla stattfindet. La Caracolá von Philip Sparke enthält keine originalen Flamenco-Melodien. Es versucht vielmehr, die Farbe und die Energie dieser verführerischen Musik in einem Werk für Jugendblasorchester einzufangen.Il flamenco è una musica cantata e danzante, generalmente accompagnata da un gioco di chitarra sontuoso. La culla del flamenco si trova in Andalusia, nel sud della Spagna. La Caracol (nome spagnolo per tritone, una grande conchiglia), è un festival di flamenco che ogni anno si tiene nei pressi di Siviglia. Questa composizione per formazione junior non s’ispira ad alcuna melodia del repertorio del flamenco,ma cerca bensì di esprimere la luce, i colori e l’energia di questa musica seducente.
