[00:00.000] 作曲 : Sergei Prokofiev
[00:00.01]The band we just heard playing is called "A BigBand".
[00:04.00]That's the name used for a large scale of Jazz ensembles.
[00:08.49]And today, it's through different types of Jazz that you’re going to learn a story of Peter and the Wolf.
[00:14.49]A story unlike any other.
[00:17.49]It will be told through music, written by Sergei Prokofiev.
[00:21.00]And just this once,played by the instruments which made up and Jazz band.
[00:27.49]How?It's very simple.
[00:29.49]Each character in the story is represented by a specific Big Band instrument,
[00:34.49]which will play a short music phase that easy to remember.
[00:38.49]Let's see how it works.
[00:40.98]Take the bird for example:he's the friend of Peter,our hero.
[00:45.50]Wow,the bird will be represented by the flute and muted trumpet.
[00:57.50]The unhappy duck will be represented by soprano saxophone.
[01:02.20]This is the highest pitch instrument in the saxophone family.
[01:05.49]It is small and strict.Listen.
[01:27.10]The Tanner Saxophone will stand in for the velvet-pawl cat.
[01:44.50]As for the grandfather, grumbling into his beard.
[01:47.80]He would be personified by the Baritone Sax,
[01:50.40]the biggest and lowest pitch sax of them all.
[02:07.20]Here's the big grey wolf in the woods.
[02:10.10]His sound comes from the trombones and the tuba.
[02:36.99]Oh,I nearly forgot Peter!
[02:39.50]Our cheerful smiling hero.
[02:41.40]He would be represented by the rhythm section of the Big Band.
[02:45.20]The piano, bass and guitar--Three string instruments.
[03:04.99]At the end of the story, you will hear the hunters.
[03:09.00]They are personified by all of the musicians in the band playing together.
[03:34.20]And the hunters fire their guns,of course you will easily recognize the drums in this part.
[03:46.20]Now then,do you remember all those characters and the instruments that represent them?
[03:50.80]Peter,the wolf,the hunters,the bird and the duck and grandfather and his cat?
[03:56.03]All of them?
[03:58.40]So now,let's start our story,right now!
