Highbury Orff Club at COC CASCADE CONFERENCE

5/15/2018

1 Comment

 
We had a wonderful time at the Carl Orff Canada National Conference CASCADE in Niagara Falls. Sean brought his Orff Club all the way from Winnipeg to perform! Since Steph is now up north and no longer in the same city as Sean, she was unable to help out with the performance this time. However, she packed up the whole family and made it to Niagara Falls to participate in the conference and to see the Highbury Orff Club perform! It was so neat to watch them in action from an audience member's point view! 

​The Highbury Orff Club performance, entitled WATER WAYS, was based mostly on music from Orff-Schulwerk Spielbuch für Xylophon (Play Book for Xylophone). It is a series of three books by Gunild Keetman, published by Schott Music International. As the title implies, the pieces are all written for xylophone. What we love best about these pieces, as with most Orff pieces, is their musical richness and sophistication, yet when they are broken down, they are derived from a pure and simplistic basis. Below is a list of the pieces that Sean, his Orff Club and friends Julie and Heidi arranged for WATER WAYS!

It was such a great experience for Sean's students to prepare and perform such excellent music from the volumes! They had a great time in Niagara Falls at the conference and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance (including Steph)!
