Introduction to the CD
The
magic of Carl Orff's "Schulwerk" was inspired by the Greek concept
of "mousike", the integration of performing arts, and the "elemental"
forms of music as the basic building blocks of human aesthetic experience.
The ideas behind his "Music for Children" have been absorbed
into the music education culture of many nations.
Australian Ways With Orff showcases a variety of expressions of Schulwerk inspirations translated into the Australian experience. The richness and diversity of the music speaks both to the influence of the Schulwerk and the adaptive creativity of Australian artists and educators.
- Lorna C. Parker
