[Work Analysis]
The musical "The Sound of Music" was completed by American composer Richard Rogers and playwright Oscar Hammerstein in 1959. It became very popular after the performance. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1965. In the same year, the film won an Academy Award.
The story of "The Sound of Music" tells what happened in Salzburg, Austria in the 1930s. In an old monastery in Salzburg, there is a young nun named Maria. She is lively, loves life, is good at playing guitar, and likes to sing. Later, Maria worked as a tutor at Colonel Trapt's house. Maria used her love and music to establish a good relationship with several children who had lost their mother's love. Maria rehearsed the chorus with the children while the Colonel was away from home. The children welcomed the colonel home with sweet and harmonious singing. The singing deeply moved the colonel and inspired his interest in singing. The colonel played the six-stringed harp and sang "Edelweiss", which expressed his love for his motherland.
Maria won the hearts of the children at the colonel's house. The colonel proposed to Maria. When they returned to Salzburg for their honeymoon, the German fascists invaded the colonel's homeland and hometown and asked him to serve in the navy. The colonel is a soldier who loves his motherland and refuses to work for the enemy. He and Maria decided to flee to Switzerland with their children.
Just as they were getting ready to escape, they were discovered by the enemy. The colonel pretended to go to Salzburg to perform at the music festival. The enemy kept a close watch on them and the guards were very tight. The first program performed by the Colonel Trapt Family Choir at this evening was "Edelweiss." When the song "Edelweiss", a symbol of the motherland, echoed in the theater, the hearts of the audience boiled. With the belief in the victory of the motherland, people sang together, and the singing frightened the enemy.
"Edelweiss" appeared twice in its entirety in the play, and the second time it was sung was more exciting than the first time. ?
"Edelweiss" is in the key of C major and in 3/4 time. The whole song has a two-part structure (that is, a single two-part form with reproduction). The structure is square and has a rich Austrian flavor. Folk song style, simple and touching tunes. The theme tone
appears three times in the whole song, praising the motherland and wishing the motherland throughout the whole song. Section A has 16 bars.

Therefore, its structure is relatively free. It can be a complete piece of music, or it can be a phrase, a motive, a chord, or a percussion sound. . Third, the performance and singing of film music must go through a series of technical processes such as recording, and finally its artistic effect will be reflected through projection. ?

About the Oscar for Best Song?
The "Academy Awards" is actually a common name, and its official name should be the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards." The prize is a gilded statue of a young man measuring 13.5 inches tall and weighing 8.45 pounds. He holds a sharp long sword tightly in both hands, standing upright on a plate of artistic film, showing a heroic and vigorous aura.
The Oscar Music Awards are divided into three categories: Best Music Composition, Best Score and Best Song. In recent years, there seems to be a trend of merging the first two awards. The "Best Music Composition Award" is awarded to a composer who creates an entire set of music for a large-scale feature film. The "Best Soundtrack Award" does not simply refer to the selection of ready-made music, but to the creative use of music materials related to the theme. The "Best Song Award" is awarded to the composer of the song written specifically for the film.
[Teaching Suggestions]
Learn to sing and appreciate "Edelweiss". You can listen to this song first and learn to sing it based on listening, so that you can easily grasp the basic mood of the song. Let students listen first and then sing, and then listen and then sing again, so as to understand the role of the same song in the development of the plot of the movie. In the process of learning to sing, students should be guided to analyze the music, find out the repetitions and changes in the tunes, and adjust and control their breathing, timbre, intensity, and speed based on their understanding.
As for the two voices, actually you only need to learn them
. But how the two voices work together requires some effort. At the beginning, you can ask all the students to sing the first part softly, and the teacher to sing the second part, and let the students listen while singing. Then the students sing two parts and the teacher sings one part. Then divide the students into two parts for practice. Remember, let students hear the overall effect of the music so that the chorus becomes a whole. ?
At the beginning of learning to sing, students should be encouraged to paddle and sing. Add accompaniment when singing songs. Three-beat strokes can be practiced initially by drawing a triangle, that is: "down, outside, up". First practice strokes alone, then listen to music and then stroke by yourself while singing. The three-beat stroke icon in the textbook is suitable for fast music at the bottom, and medium or slow music at the top. "Edelweiss" can be photographed using the icon above. ?
There is no need to explain specifically the ideological, patriotic and emotional issues of the song. Teachers can combine the two plot changes in the film and let students sing in specific situations, and the purpose of infectious education can be achieved naturally.
