Project 2020-1:
Ulster Orchestra & Cultúrlann
Play Me a Story!
MO CHEOL THÚ!
How do you tell a story through music?
Máire has been finding out exactly that with a little help from her friends in the Ulster Orchestra. Firstly, musicians Ralph Tartaglia and Jonathan Simmance composed and performed music for Máire’s book ‘Rita Wants a Robot’, illustrated by Andrew Whitson. You can hear the finished piece in this video:
Cadé mar a insíonn tú scéal trí mheán an cheoil?
Chuir Máire ceist ar a cuid cairde i gCeolfhoireann Uladh chun fáil amach. Ar dtús, chum na ceoltóirí Ralph Tartaglia agus Jonathan Simmance píosa ceoil chun scéal ‘Rita agus an Róbat’ (maisithe ag Andrew Whitson) a inse. Is féidir leat é a cluisint anseo:
Then, the children sent us their own stories. We chose two winners – Canice Doran (in English) and Mimi Page (in Irish). Musicians Megan Royce and Jonathan Simmance then composed music to tell their stories. The results were wonderful!
Have a listen here to the children’s stories:
Ansin, chuir páistí a gcuid scéalta féin chugainn. Roghnaigh muid beirt – Mimi Page (i nGaeilge) agus Canice Doran (i mBéarla) agus chum ceoltóirí Megan Royce agus Jonathan Simmance ceol lena gcuid scéalta a inse.
Éist agus amharc ar na scéalta iontacha thíos:
