Hello, guys.
- 00:02 - 00:05
So in today's lesson, we are going to analyze the
- 00:05 - 00:07
media piece sounds of a glass harmonica.
- 00:09 - 00:13
So the media selection we're reading, uh, for today is
- 00:14 - 00:16
about music and musical estimates.
- 00:17 - 00:19
Have you guys heard about glass harmonica?
- 00:20 - 00:22
Do you know what a glass are?
- 00:22 - 00:26
Monica is So the media selection sounds of a glass
- 00:27 - 00:32
of Monica presents composer musician William Zettler as he plays
- 00:32 - 00:34
the glass of Monica Benjamin Franklin.
- 00:34 - 00:36
Good idea for his invention.
- 00:36 - 00:42
After seeing someone make music using wine glasses partly or
- 00:42 - 00:44
partially filled with water.
- 00:46 - 00:48
The harmonica shown in the video is made up of
- 00:48 - 00:52
glass couplets, which is really amazing.
- 00:52 - 00:53
You will see it, guys.
- 00:53 - 00:57
It's such a wonderful invention attached to his entity to
- 00:57 - 00:58
a slowly revolving revolving broad.
- 01:00 - 01:04
Um, that is also attached by a small motor.
- 01:04 - 01:09
The player makes music by touching different goblets with his
- 01:09 - 01:11
fingers producing an ethereal melody.
- 01:12 - 01:15
Melody. So this is the harmonica.
- 01:15 - 01:19
This is the mechanism of the R Monica.
- 01:20 - 01:23
As you can see here in the picture, it shows
- 01:23 - 01:26
that Monica, as we said earlier, it is invented by
- 01:26 - 01:27
Benjamin Franklin.
- 01:29 - 01:32
He invented this magical musical invention.
- 01:33 - 01:38
The invention was made in early 17 61 Beethoven brought
- 01:39 - 01:41
a little piece for the glass harmonica.
- 01:42 - 01:46
And narrator So the description.
- 01:47 - 01:50
The glass of Monica looks like wine glasses tacked together
- 01:51 - 01:56
but separated little when Franklin thought it was the sweetest
- 01:57 - 01:58
sound he'd ever heard.
- 01:58 - 02:03
But he wanted to hear more harmonies with his melody.
- 02:05 - 02:09
Yeah, so Guys site.
- 02:09 - 02:14
A sound of a glass harmonica provides an insight into
- 02:14 - 02:18
the wide range of creativity of one of Americans, earliest
- 02:19 - 02:20
and most celebrated inventors.
- 02:22 - 02:27
Not only was Franklin, creator of practical inventions such as
- 02:28 - 02:34
the Franklin Stove and, um, uh, before girls, but also
- 02:35 - 02:36
he was a musician of some notes.
- 02:38 - 02:41
The glass and Monica was very popular for musical occasions
- 02:41 - 02:44
in the in which the room was small, but there
- 02:44 - 02:47
was no way to simplify this out.
- 02:47 - 02:52
Today, the harmonica is increasingly in popularity, aided by modern
- 02:53 - 02:53
sound technology.
- 02:55 - 02:56
Is it still used today?
- 02:56 - 03:00
Yes, it is 10 being used today.
- 03:01 - 03:04
In fact, people are experts at playing it.
- 03:04 - 03:07
But as we said earlier, it is aided by modern
- 03:08 - 03:10
sound technology, so it's still used.
- 03:11 - 03:14
Some additions were made in this regard.
- 03:15 - 03:23
Okay, so so how this musical instrument got started.
- 03:24 - 03:26
Ben Franklin heard the musical instrument similar to the sound
- 03:27 - 03:30
and invented his own instrument, called a glass harmonica.
- 03:33 - 03:36
So what it sounds like you're going to hear or
- 03:37 - 03:41
to watch a video that shows the glass Monica and
- 03:41 - 03:47
it's a person or will you will play the musical
- 03:48 - 03:50
instrument through throughout the video.
- 03:51 - 03:54
So let's try to connect to connect story, the selection
- 03:55 - 03:58
or what we have seen to the essential question, which
- 03:58 - 04:02
is our inventions realized through inspiration or perspiration.
- 04:05 - 04:07
So the glass harmonica is an invention that was inspired
- 04:08 - 04:12
by water filled one glasses centuries ago.
- 04:12 - 04:16
It began, no doubt, as an exploration of sound made
- 04:16 - 04:20
by glasses containing different amounts of amounts of liquids.
- 04:21 - 04:27
So, um, once Benjamin Franklin observed, the phenomenon and the
- 04:27 - 04:32
invention of an actual instrument turned the experiment into a
- 04:33 - 04:38
matter of applied physics, the inspiration was realized through perspiration.
- 04:39 - 04:43
You try to think of other inventions that you think
- 04:44 - 04:49
is a major source of creativity, or you can consider
- 04:49 - 04:50
them as creativity.
- 04:52 - 04:57
Okay, guys, So after, um uh, seeing the video, we're
- 04:57 - 04:59
going to do our comprehension check.
- 05:00 - 05:01
So that's all for today.
- 05:01 - 05:03
